to gain the whole 6S7 days it
must go on as many days as
322-365ths are contained in 687,
which is, in round numbers, TIE

weeks. This period from one op-
position to the next is called
Mars ''synodic" period, or his
time OF synodic revolution. The
next opposition is shown at e

All Of the planets more dis.
tant than the earth from the
sun have similar periods, but they
are all shorter than that Of Mars
For the two inner planets, Mer.
curry and Venus, it is the earth
that comes into periodic opposi.

would see the earth in opposition
about every 116 days, and on
venus about every 5S4 days.
Jupiter's synodic period is 500
days and Saturn's 37S days.
The reason why these distant
planets come into opposition more
frequently than Mars is because
their orbital revolution is so
long compared with the earth's
that. after any opposition, the
earth almost catches up with
them during a single one OF its
revolutions. and has to 20 but 4

NO much attention is being
drawn to the opposition Of
~ Mars on August % that
many readers my be interested
in a brief statement of how this
much talked OF celestial phenom.
enon comes about, and how often
it recurs.
Mars travels around the sun in
an orbit considerably larger
than--that Is, outside of-the
earth's orbit. The two planets
may be ikened to two horses rum
ming around concentric tracks,
the outside horse taking longer to
make the circuit, both because it
has farther to go and because it
travels at a slower rate.
Periodically they arrive to-
gether on the same side In a
straight line with the common
center Of the tracks: then they
separate, the inside horse forg-
ing ahead and continuing to gain
until it overtakes the other on its
round, so that they are together
once more.
In the celestial race Mars is
the outside and Earth the inside
horse. Mars takes 6S7 days to
go around, and the earth takes
S65 days. When they are in line
together on the same side Of the
sun (the centerl, Mars is said to
be in Opposition" because as
seen from the earth he appears
exactly opposite to the sun.
Clearly, at such a conjuncture
the two planets are as near to-
gether as they can get, each be-
ing in that party Of its track
which approaches closest to the
other track. Such a state Of af-
fairs will exist on August %.

quit the farm and go into business for him
self. There was good opening in the
hardware line in the neighboring city. Ned
likes hardware it as some folks like
books or etchings or old violins. It's a

wanted to go away and follow his own

before he died he made his wife promise

EMBARG00N
GRAINRULED
Shipments to Duluth and Head
of Lakes Is Banned

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. An embargo
on all shipments of grain to the head
Of the lakes from all points in the
northwest was recommended to the
railroads reaching here late yester-
day in resolution adopted by the
joint terminal grain committee of the
northwest regional advisory board,
and assented to by the railroads.
The embargo will halt movement
of all cars loaded with grain to this
point until further notice, beginning
at noon, Oct. /. Cars loaded before
that time will be moved in the usual
manner. 1t is expected, members Of
the committee said, that the embar-
go would be kept in effect only four
or five days. 1t will be lifted as
soon as congestion, caused by over
shipping, subsidies, and is put into
effect to permit elevators here to
catch up with unloading of cars.
For some time, shipments to the
local elevators, which have capac-
ity Of 1,500 cars a day, have run we'll
over that figure, from 400 to 500 cars
a day in excess of the amount the
elevators could unload This has re-
suited in unprecedented yard con-
gestion here. 1t was announced at
the meeting, that already $4,000 cars
are loaded or already enroute to this
point, which will be the elevator ca
pacity for 10 days.

JEWS OBSERVE
NEW YEAR HERE
WITH SERVICE
Rabbi MackOff of St. Paul Is
in Charge of the Obser-
vance in This City
MANY ARE PRESENT

About 200 people Of Jewish faith
of Bismarck and many surrounding
towns celebrated the Jewish New
Year here, with Rabbi Mackoff of St.
Paul in charge of the services. The
services were held in Elks Hall. A
New Years Eve observance was held
Sunday night, and Monday and
Tuesday were the New Years OBJ
servance. 1t was explained that a
two-days observance is held because
there has been uncertainty as to the
correct date.
The year $685. from the creation
of the world opened this year on
September % at sunset. According
to tradition, the Jewish religious
era begins with the Creation, and
still follows the ancient lunar year,
each month beginning with the new
| moon.
The New Year festival is thus
strictly a religious occasion, as the
civil calendar is used by the jews
for all ordinary purposes. The New
Year is the first day of Tishri,
the seventh month in the Hebrew
calendar, the month of the high
holydays. This great religious oc-
casion is the revival season among
Jews. On this day all the synagogs
are crowded with eager worshippers,
even the most lax and Indifferent
coming to service at this time.
The celebration of the New Year
is kept for two days in orthodox
congregations, and for one in the
liberal synagogs. This custom in
the orthodox synagog is to make a
distinction between the Jews scat
tered all over the world, and those
living in Palestine, who still OBJ
serve the ancient custom of keeping
only single day.
First Feasts
In the beginning the feast was
kept with two observances, extra
sacrifices in the Temple at Jerusa-
lem, and the blowing of the trumpet
In fact, the name given it in the
Bible, in Leviticus % and Numbers
30, is "The Day Of the Blowing of
Trumpets." A solemn assembly was
held. on this day from most ancient
times. But this festival is not con-
nected, as most Jewish celebrations
are, with some great historic event
This festival of the New Year
however, has no such special mem

The Jewish New Year is a day fo1
