TALESMEN CROWD
D.C.SUPREME COURT
Fall Opening Marked by At
tendance of 500 Quizzed
by Justice Gordon.

The opening of the Fall sessions of
the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia was attended today with more
or less good grace by more than 500
local citizens, who crowded the corTi-
doris of the building. They had been
summoned as talesmen, from whose
number were to be selected six panels
of jurors consisting each of Is members
and a new grand jury of % persons.
Justice Peyton Gordon in Criminal Di-
vision had the task of hearing the
excuses offered by those seeking to
evade jury service and passing on them.
Nine justices-the largest number
ever to hold sessions of this court
faced today the largest docket of cases
in the courts history. More than 400
criminal cases await trial, while the
law calendar has over 1900 cases and
the equity docket exceeds 900 cases.
The new assignment of justices went
into effect today Three branches of
the Criminal Court are being presided
over by Justice Gordon in No. l, JUS
tice Jesse G. Adkins in No. and Jus
tice Oscar r. Luhring in No. 3. There
was no session of Criminal Division 3
because Justice Luhring was busy with
hearing applicants for naturalization
Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat will
handle Government condemnation pro-
ceedings in District Division /, and
Justice Joseph W. Cox will preside in
District Division to hear District street
extension cases and when not so en-
gagged will aid in the disposition of the
law docket. Justice Wendell P. Stat
ford and Justice Frederick L. Siddons
will hold the two Circuit Divisions,
while Justice Jennings Bailey and Jus
tice William Hitz will be in the two
Equity Divisions.

erected for their shelter, and within the
shelter is the feast table itself.
The tent, composed of growing moon
flower vines trailed over interlaced
cords, was planned last Spring by Mrs
Ella Lorbeerbaum, the mother of Mrs.
Henry B. Lansburgh, and time, together
with the care that household gives its
flowers and growing things, has pro-
duced the "succo" as the tent is called
Hung in the vines of the roof are
punches of grapes, tiny bottles OF wine
and the fruits Of plenty in significance
of the harvest On the ground are the
rustic pieces of furniture, quite of the
ordinary garden variety to the I'M
initiated, but significant of the rough
hewn furniture which was used by
Moses followers
And there is the service table,
which was used for the first time in
this years observance of Succoth at
shutdown last night. It's use-but the
service tells it's story:
Mrs. Lansburgn and her mother. the
women of the household, lighted the
tapers in the candelabrum on the table.
Evening was come and guests were
expected. In the glowing light of the
burning wicks was seen a vase con-
tanning variety of green sprouts. A
pleasing fragrance arose from them
There was beauty there, too, in a sweet
smelling citrus fruit.
To the stranger it was explained that
the vase contained sprig of hadassa
plant-SWeetly fragrant-signifying the

F M|LY IN CAPITAL
OBSERVES SUCCOTH
Ancient Rite of Jews Is Held
at Residence Commemorate
ing Days in Wilderness.

The dwelling of a long-suffering
people in a wilderness before its deliver
ance at last into a more fruitful land
is having its ceremonial counterpart
these days at the Washington home of
family descendant from those trial
worn Jews of Moses struggling caravan.
1t is the Succoth, of Feast of the
Tabernacles, which the House of Lans-
burgh is observing in the Powered back
yard of 2240 Cathedral avenue in rev.
erent celebration of the Jews deliver
ance from the wilderness and the
harvesting of the years fruits. In that
rear yard, which in itself is veritable
leafy tent of the corded variety which

in the celebration OF the Succoth pass,
groups from the different synagogues
of the city win participate with the
Lansburghs. Succoth continues for
eight days.
The celebration Of the festival Of the
tabernacles in private family is UNIQUE
in the United States. True, each syna-
gogue conducts the ceremonial, but in
the face of changing custom, individual
families which for centuries in the Old
World had their Succoth feast, have
gradually ceased the practice. There
are scarcely five families in Washing
ton which conduct the celebration,
while probably in none is the observ-
ance of the occasion-the deliverance
of their people from the wilderness
so infinitely practiced as at the Cathe-
dral avenue home.

In the light of the tapers, the man
of the household makes the service over
the wine. Last night, Mr.. Lansburgh
performed this function using the silver
cup handed down through the ages
from father to elder descendant in the
family of Mrs. Lansburgh in Austria.

Americanisms and American Slang.
Manchester Guardian.l


 Elsewhere publish an American list Of cur. rent American slang which New York cor respondent authortatively describes accurate and comprehensive. We import Amercanisms freely in this country, often because they such good and vivid English Even leader writers in fastidious papers have long fallen for" such American dioms as fed up" up against it." nothing to it." These expressions true Anglo-Saxon word-makng as well vigorous metaphors. Oddly enough the oldest Americanism we know has never been adopted here, though it is old Chaucer T guess" says the American, meaning T think" Chaucer's jest (quoting from memory is
 For and wife are one flesh, as
 guess,
 With but one mind in veal and in dis
 tress.
 Here the word guess" is used in just the American sense. Down and out" for the last stage of de- feat and despair is perhaps prize fighting meta phor; at any rate it is fully acclimatized. But when we turn to most of the expressions quoted in our correspondents message the explanation is usually though not always the imaginative and sometimes not too delicate American gift for lively metaphor. British readers will find study of the list as good as a crossword puzzle, and more thon once the American definition of the American slang phrase is more baffling than the phrase itself "WowSer" means "blue-nose reformer" Yes and what is blue-nose reformer? ITO get the magoo is ucidly defined specifically to receive a custard pie in the face" Fortunately for the British reader, it is also generaized as ito have bad luck" Now we get it. A hustler" is "a racketeer- professional criminal" We have often suspected it. There in the list at least two examples of rhyming slang the silest sort of slang there is. It was, we believe invented here perhaps two generations ago, and regret to see it cor ruptng the American language. The examples are Spanish guitar" for cigar" and weeping willow for pillow One definition is really terrifying Chick of lead" is defined as Lass usually with nutcracker face, who disapproves of garbo-glbert- ing American slang, says our correspondent, is soon outmoded. On the whole, we are glad of it.

A Reasonable Request.
Anchorage Times.)

Juneau Chamber of Commerce makes the very reasonable suggestion that Congress make a real investigation of the eagle situation in Alaska before acting the recommendations of those out siders who desire to have the eagle protected for sentimental reasons. The Juneau organization does not ask the national lawmakers to take the word of Alaskans for it. nor is reference made to the fact that Alaska Legislatures repeatedly have con- demned the eagle by voting funds to encourage reduction of its numbers. All that Congress is asked to do is to conduct fair investigation to determine the merits of the case, to determine whether AL aska's fish and fur bearers and small game animals should continue to be sacrificed to please small group of agitating sentimentalsts The Juneau request is fair that Congress can not reasonably refuse to give it recognition.

Lists.
(New. Yora World.)

The Rev. pr. Henry Darlington, speaking at the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest advocates white list of good patriots instead of a black list of bad patriots. To qualify for this list, he said, citizen should have "the spirit of prophecy, vision for the country of what we are striving for" he should have "a high regard for what it means to be an American;" he should have
 tolerance" he should have "a religion whether he is a Jew Christian or a Mohammedan;" he should have "a sense of law and order" he should have "temperance" he should have "the vision of nternationalism;" he should have sincerity" These are excellent qualities but wish to ask Dr. Darlington whether Private Syd Hicks, who was once coal miner, who could not read or write who has never been to church, who never heard Of internationalism who was once court-martiaed for being drunk, but who fought bravey in the war with Company B, 313th United States In- fantry, can qualify for the list? And if not why not? All lists we must confess whether white black, yellow red green strike us as equally presumptuous. For they all rest on the same premise, which is, that the flag means more to me than it does to you

TIMELY OFFICIAL WARNING.

In an official bulletin issued recently by the Department of Agriculture, the United States Geo. logical Survey took occasion to comment reported gold strikes in the Poorman and Wild River dis trcts. It treated both with conservatism, in pleas ing and striking contrast to the manner in which these discoveries first made public early this year. Too often mere prospects heralded as established mines to the great detriment of Alaska. Boiled down to its essentials the reported Wild River strike consisted of finding a piece of rich float in a stream bed with no way of knowing its source. The Poorman strike, genuine enough was not in any in field. It not far distant from older and almost worked out placer dggings The discovery merely served to emphasize, as the bulletin pointed out, that all the workable placers have not yet been discovered and that there remains some deposits to repay thorough ana intelligent prospecting How extensive the Poorman strike will be remains to be proved And the Geological Survey closes its announce ment with few timely words of warning which we quote in full:
 It may not be out of place here, to call
 the attention of persons to Alaska who
 contemplate prospecting in remote regions to
 the necessity of being well provided finan-
 cialy and physically for undertaking the
 quest. Conditions in many parts of Alaska
 present few difficulties, as most of the larger
 towns have all the facilities of up-to-date
 places in the States including hotels, tele-
 graphs, banks stores etc. In the remote dis
 tricts, however few facilities available.
 and the newcomer should be willing and
 able to meet most of his needs. In
 actively booming camps efficient labor may
 be difficult to obtain, usually the best
 workers anxious to prospect and develop
 their holdings. Expenses are usually
 high because of the unavoidable difficulties
 of transportation, and supplies may be made
 quate if large number of unexpected arri-
 vals suddenly turn up in a small remote
 camp. Employment for persons unskilled in
 hard work under frontier conditions is
 usually difficult to obtain, so that
 corners should be of a job before they
 start, they should take with them enough
 money to pay for their transportation to
 and from Alaska, well for their food
 and lodging while they seeking employ
 ment returns from their own mining
 ventures.

IN THE SERVICE OF THE PUBLIC.

The Chamber of Commerce plans well and wisely for the community when it undertakes to make the annual cleanup and pantup campaign one in which every organization in the city may play its part. This is a work in which all organizations and all individuals have very direct interest and in which they should everyone of them, play active part
 A town acquires it's reputation for progressveness and modernity by it's public appearance more largely than from any other source It's buildings public and private it's yards, vacant lots, streets and alleys constitute it's dress. If that garment be slovenly messy and dirty, the town gets reputa- ton of being backward benighted in civic spirit and lean in purse. For the sake of its good both at home and abroad, it is a good investment for the city to make and keep itself neat and clean
 There are many material benefits accruing, also, from cleanliness and neatness from community standpoint. Freedom from dirt and rubbish, repairs to and demolition of rundown and dilapidated build ings essens fire hazards and actually reduces fire losses. Improved and beautified vacant lots mand higher prices than weed-grown rubbish filled Buildings protected and their lives length ened by fresh coatings of paint The health of the public it's morale and it's happiness, all ad vanced when breeding places for disease are eradi- cated and accumulations of dirt and debris, the habtatons of insects, rodents and vermin de- stroyed
 When a campaign that will accomplish these results is staged by single organization it's value is great But that value is accentuated when the work is done by the whole community co-opera- lively. It is fine means of developing community teamplay, learning the people to work as well as to play together, transforms the indifferent to boosters, and generally makes for better citizenship. No single undertaking of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce has benefit to the city than this campaign, and in none has it better exemplified its constructive leadership.

doned, and the Provincial Governments conserva- tion efforts largely confined to limitation of nery licenses This change in policy, it pointed out by the Department, caused by legal diff ficulties It advised that provincial limitation of licenses would be infringement on the rights of the Dominion Government and would be n- effective For this reason the Provincial Govern ment will make effort to restrict fishermen and gear through the license system
 However, it will restrict the number of licenses issued to canneries, including dogfsh pilchard and whale reduction plants, and herring and salmon dry salteries. Its jurisdiction over the processing industry is unquestioned. It will continue to zone the waters and permit fishing as the conditions warrant closing opening the districts as escape ment and takes justify.

CELDOM have evening dresses

it been more perplexing to

comes to choosing an evening

dresses designed for dining,
dancing and formal evening
wear, it is apparent to the
thoughtful observer that fashions
at present are in a transitional
stage. The women who wants
to select an evening dress that
will do for many months, that
will possibly be in good style
next season, is confronted with
many questions. The long or very
long skirt is correct for formal
occasions but some of the French
dressmakers are also sponsor
ing an ankle-length evening
dress that is actually newer than
the very long skirt-and That is
moreover more becoming 10 GER

French dressmakers have been
