A Woman Cabineteer? Maybe

cry Associated PressD

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-An en-
ergetic. alert-looking woman with
flair for statistics may be the
nations first feminine cabinet
member.
Widespread reports say that
Miss Frances Perkins, industrial
commissioner of New York state,
may be chosen secretary of labor
by President-E1ect Roosevelt, al
though no announcements have
been made.
Miss Perkins. known to all who
deal with labor statistics as spon-
sor of New York states elaborate
figures on employment and other
important labor matters, is gener-
ally identified as a liberal.
She has worked diligently for
social welfare projects, notably Of
late in encouraging responses to
nationwide pleas for unemploy-
ment relief. She has been insis-
tent in her demands in New York
state for adequate care of the
workers and has cited her statistics
frequently in proof of the need.
Investigations of the New York
State Factory commission, which
enabled much legislation of social
character, were directed by her.
A graduate of Mount Holyoke
college in 1902, Miss Perkins also
studied at the University of Penn
sylvania and obtained a master of
arts degree at Columbia univer-
sity. She was executive secretary
of the Consumers league in New
York from 1910 to 1912 and lee
tured in sociology during that
period.

JEWISH EVENT
STARTS FRIDAY
FEAST OF DEDICATION TO
RUN FOR PERIOD OF
EIGHT DAYS

Commencing on Friday evening,
December 23rd, one of the most
interesting minor holidays in the
Jewish calendar, will be celebrat-
ed for a period of eight days. 1t
is known as Hanukkah. the Feast
of Dedication, and being a joyous
home festival, it is anticipated by
all, especially by the children,
since, to great extent, it has be-
come a children's festival.
The festival commentaries the
stirring events of the period from
1913 to 165 B. C. E. Antiochus, the
king of Syria, wishing to unite all
the provinces under his dominion
into one nation, issued decree
that only the Greek religion was
to be practiced thenceforth. He
thereupon tried to suppress Juda-
ism, burned the Sacred Scrolls of
the law and set up idols In the Holy
Temple at Jerusalem. But the
Jews did not submit to his decree.
Instead, they resisted and after n
long protracted warfare Judas
Maccabeus, the son of Mattathias
the priest, supported by his four
heroic brothers, defeated the
Syrians. and on the twenty-fifth
day of the month of Kislev in the
year 165 B. c. E., removed the
idols from the Temple and rededi-
Gated it to the service of God.
Many beautiful legends and
stories have grown up around the
Feast of Hanukkah. The most
beautiful of these states that on
the day of the rededication only a
single cruise of oil was found un-
polluted, but this oil. through the
miraculous power of God, proved
sufficient to burn during the en-
tire period of reconsecration. For
this reason the festival is kept for
eight days and candles are lit dur
ing the entire period, one on the
first day. two on the second day,
and so on until eight candles have
been lighted on the eighth day.
Many other legends and features
contribute toward making the Han
ukkah festival one Of the most
joyous in the Jewish year.
Services in connection with this
holiday event will be conducted by
Rev r. Rachnlil at the local syna-
gogue.

JAS. GRIFFIN
STABBED NEAR
HEART REGION
LOUISE KENNEDY, CoLORED,
HELD IN COUNTY JAIL IN
CONNECTION WITH CASE;
GRIFFIN WON'T TALK

James Griffin Mickey" has a
stab wound in his left side, evil
IDENTIFY made with pair of scissors
or an ice pick, and Louise Ken
needy. colored, is in county Jail,
pending the result of the wound.
About 3 o'clock yesterday morn
ing Sheriff Niles was called by
several people who told him that
Griffin had been stabbed, that
they had. tried to get doctor but
could not find one who was able
to attend the case.
The sheriff succeeded in getting
a physician who dressed the
wound. It was learned by the
sheriff that the wounded man and
the woman had been in a room on
a house on Emma street where the
stabbing is said to have occurred,
with no other person present.
Finding no one who could give
an account of the trouble, Sheriff
Niles arrested the woman, placed
her in the county Jail where she
now is. She declares her innocence
and Griffin refuses to talk, says
the sheriff.
This morning Griffin went to
the Jail to secure the woman's re-
lease and was told by the sheriff
that the woman was not to be re-
leased until it was shown that the
wound is not dangerous. Griffin
was advised by the sheriff to go
home.
Afterwards the sheriff tele.
phoned the physician who had at
tended Griffin and asked if the
wounded man is out of danger, and
was told that he was not out OF
danger by any means. Hence the
woman is being held.
