JEWS OBSERVE
 FEAST OF LOTS
Purim Occurs On 18th Day
 of Adar In Hebrew f Calendar

Tn Q world now shaken by the H. logical action of individuals drunk with power, the Feast of Lots, which Jews throughout the world will celebrate this year, March 24, has special significance. It occurs on the 18th day of Adar in the Jew ish calendar and is known as Purim.
 The Biblical story of Esther tells how Haman, courier of King Ahasuerus of Persia, by casting lots, determined the day, 18th day of Adar, when he would have the en- tire Jewish population in Persia de- stroyed, because Mordecai, a Jew, had refused to render homage to him.
 Through Esther, the niece of Mordecai, queen of Persia, the cruelty of Haman's plot was revealed to King Ahasuerus. Thus the Jews of Persia were saved.
 So vital has been the tradition of Purim, festival representing denverance from oppression. that JeWSD A6UOry IS uIleO Wltn bpeclaI Purims. Each of these local fes- tivals commentaries relief from some threatened catastrophe.
 On Purim. the Megillah Scroll Of Esther), Is read in the syna- gogue. The parchment scroll Of the Megillah illustrated with colored pictures and handsomely encased has for centuries been an artistic Jewish ceremonial object. This year, many American synagogueS will use L 1940 English edition of the Megillah prepared by a con- mittee on ceremonies.
 A joyous holiday, Purim is cele- brated with plays and masqueradeg. It is an occasion for gift-giving. Special foods include three-cornered cakes called Homontaschen, which are supposed to resemble the hat of Haman.
 Purim is celebrated for one day by Orthodox, Conservative and Re- form Jews.

VERDICT IS DUE
 IN MERCY DEATH

 WOnIan'S Demise

Los Angeles, March 21.-(UP)- A jury today considered the theorS that Charles Palmer, 7S, planned mercy death" for his invalid, TO- year-old wife, along with charges that he and his former housekeeper murdered her with ant poison.
 The theory was advanced by Rich ard DockeTay, attorney for Mrs Caroline Henslee, 49, Palmer's housekeeper. He said the state had overlooked the most probable" mo- tive for her death, and that Mrs. Palmer had known why the poison was bought.
 "She knew 1t was going to be in her coffee and she wanted 1t there" he said.
 Dockeray said Mrs. Palmer was tired of life as paralytic.
 Superior Judge Thomas L. Am prose had instructed the jury to find the defendants guilty of first degree murder, with or without recommen. dation of mercy, or acquit them. A verdict was expected today.

Then announce that prize will be

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Selfish Egotism One of Worst
Faults Mothers Can Possess

Dear Miss Dix: I am q girl "a
years old. When was my mother
and father we're divorced. My
mother worked hard and put me
through high school Then worked
my way through college and for
the last five years have been
teaching and making a good living
for us both. All my life my mother
has monopolized me- She has never
been willing for me to go out with
other boys and girls. She wants
me to stay with her. When I do
go out I do not enjoy myself, for I
know that when I get home 1 will
find her angry and crying. Now
1 have fallen in love with splendid
young man who would give me not
only love. but also a home and Sc
curity. But since I have told my
mother Of our engagement she has
been furious and continually re-
proaches me with ingratitude and
tells me that l don't love her, etc.
If marry it will be impossible to
have her live with us because Of
the way she would treat my hus-
band. But I could provide for her
comfortably some place near us.
Now the question is: Should I give
Evening star., 1940-11-28

up my chance of marriage and hap
piness because OF the way my
mother feels?
UNHAPPY DAUGHTER.
Answer-Certainly not. You would
be an idiot to do so, for a chance
to make such good marriage
might never come to you again.
and if it did your mother would be
equally unwilling for you to leave
her.
There is no reason in the world
why you should sacrifice yourself to
your mothers selfish egotism. You
can see plainly enough that she is
not considering your happiness In
this matter, but her own pleasure.
She knows that the best gift that
God can give a girl is good hus-
band and that you will be a thou
sand times better of with a man
to stand between you and the world,
with husband and home and chill
dren. than you are having no one
to lean upon; having to toll to earn
not only your own living, but hers,
and with always the dread of the
future that is at the bottom Of every
self-supporting woman's heart,
when she lies awake at night won
dering what would happen If she
lost her job, or had q long spell
of sickness, and what will become
of her when she Is old.
Knowing these things. your
mother should rejoice with you in
your good fortune instead of try
ing to block it, and If she doesn' t
you should look at the matter sanely
and refuse to wreck your life to
crafty her morbid desire to monop-
olize you.
or course, your mother will re-
proach you with all she has done
for you, from her agony in child
birth to her feeding and clothing
you when you were growing up, but
1t always seems to me that parents
are nervy to expect children to be
grateful for being thrust into a
world that was full of hardship and
poverty for them, and, anyway, most
children pay whatever debt they
owe their fathers and mothers by
supporting them far more years
than their parents ever supported
them.
I am a great believer in children
doing their duty by their parents
but consider it no part of a girls
duty to give up marriage to a good
man to crafty the whim of a selfish
! mother. DOROTHY DIX.
