NEW WHITE STAR
 LINER DESIGNED

Although planned as a sister ship and running mate of the Queen Mary. the new Cunard White Star superliner Queen Elizabeth, will re- veal some decided. differences in de- sign from the older ship. which holds all records as the fastest liner in the world,
 The new Queen Elizabeth will be the longest and largest ship in the world. Her overall length will be i,030 feet as against 1,0l9.5 feet for the Queen Mary. The gross tonnage of the new ship will be approxi- mately 85,000 whereas the Queen Mary measures ei i,235 gross tons.
 Perhaps the most striking exterior difference in appearance will be that the Queen Elizabeth will have one less funnel. She will be able to get along with only two tunnels be- cause of a considerable reduction in the number of high-pressure water-tube boilers which she will employ for her propulsion. Whereas the Queen Mary uses 24 boilers, new advances in design have made 1t possible to get along with half the number to supply approximately the same power. The Queen Elizabeth will have 12 high-pressure boilers divided among four boiler rooms.
 As a result of the elimination Of one funnel there will be consider ably increased deck space aboard the Queen Elizabeth with more room for promenades and generally for passenger accommodations. For the first time, it is also possible now to assign part of the spacious sports deck to Third Glass passengers as well as to cabin and tourist.
 Each of the two tunnels will be slightly larger than those of the Queen Mary and they will further differ ir that all steam pipes, guys, stays and other rigging will be con- cealed inside the funnel casings adding to the trim appearance of the new ship.

Jewish Repentance
 Season Approaches
New Year to Be fieraIded September z5-VariOus
 Local SynagOgues Plan Special Services

Synsgogues and temples will be filled with worshippers on Sunday evening, September 25, to herald the approach of the Jewish New Year, or Rosh Hashonoh. To celebrate this solemn holiday, special services will be held for one day in Reform Tenn pies and in Orthodox Synagogues for two days.
 The blowing of the rams horn in synagogues throughout the world will call adherents of Judaism to reflection and repentance. Rosh Hashonoh literally means the be- ginning of the year" and this year the holy day ushers in the year 5699, anno mundi.
 In ancient times this festival marked the beginning of the agri- cultural and economic year in Pal-- estine. With the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem and the dis. persion of the people, the holy day began to mean a time of prayer and meditation, of self-scrutiny, and of penitence. This Interpretation of the holiday comes from the rab- binical tradition that the New Year commentaries the anrliver- sary of creation, the day upon which all people of the world are conceived as passing in review be- fore their Creator for judgment.
 The prayers of the day are filled with the message of justice. The sound of the Shofar calls for re- membrance of Gods laws and ones obligations to his fellow-men.
 Rosh Hasonoh is day on which family ties are strengthened and friendships are renewed. Encom- passing the ideas of divine justice and human responsibility, the day begins "The Ten Days of Penitence'

AUTO INDUSTRY HARD HIT, TWO
 MONTHS IN 1887
President of General Mot. ors Iestifies of Unem-
 ployment Situation

WASHINGTON, Jan Civilian Knudsen, President of General Mo- tors Corporation, told the special Senate Unemployment Committee today that his company experienced the severest sales drop in history in last November and December, making a layoff of men essential,
 Knudsen said 30,000 men were laid off on January l.
 Taking quick look at the future, however, the auto builder told the committee members he hoped for the upturn in business early in the spring.
 Knudsen said the lay-off of men was only considered temporary and added that the automobile bus mess ordinarily picks up in the spring.
 The auto manufacturer also as- serted that manufacturing costs rose sharply during 1887, labor in- creasing 25 per cent and material prices swinging steeply upward He said the overall increase in car costs alone amounted to 13.5 percent in 1897.
 Knudsen said one hope for i'm mediate stabilization in work and industry is that the people gener- ally should feel a little more con- fident as to the future and need more assurance all the way down about this year and the year after.
 Knudsen blamed the decline, not on car prices, but to the view helc by the average man that w ork i; going to be slack"
 Knudsen said he knew of no way to forecast the sudden sales dror such as took place in November ane last month.
