and the green rolling nils below.
The thing which made the window
so unusual was its enormous size.
I was quite surprised when our guide
told us that the glass had been in
several sections and not in one piece.
Just behind the house was huge
tunnel leading to an underground
house. Because the tunnel was so
badly damaged. we could not go
down, but our guide told us that
the house was bombproof and con-
tanned living quarters. an emer-
gency hospital, and passages leading
to the houses of other Nazi officials.
According to the guide, the passages
were very intricate. Guards were
stationed every few feet along the
way.
After visiting the tunnel we took
a jeep and started for the Eagles
Nest-the teahouse given to Hitler
by one of his Nazi friends. The
road up was so steep that an or
dinary car could not make it. In
stead of winding around the noun
tain, it zig-zagged up one side.
AS we logged over the ruts, we
looked down into the valley several
thousand feet below. Suddenly we
found ourselves in the midst of
snow-capped Alps "a breath-tak-
ingly beautiful sight.
Upon reaching a large parking lot
that jutted out of the mountain, we
parked our jeep and entered long
tunnel which ended in small room
where we took an elevator up 500
feet to the top. The elevator was
bronze, with two compartments. The
upper part, furnished with mirrors
and plush seats, had been for Hitler;
the lower half for his guards.
When we reached the top, we
found ourselves in the middle of a
beautifully built stone house. It was
a medium sized, two-storied build
ing. The semispherical tearoom
had large windows on three sides,
affording view Of the Alps as well
as of the lands beyond. One had
the feeling Of being on the top of
the world. After seeing this beauti-
full place I was surprised to learn
that Hitler had been there only
twice.
1t seems impossible that Hitler
could have plotted so much destruc-
ton while living in such beautiful
surroundings.

him. Of the many famous places
I visited while abroad, Berchtes-
eaden was one of the most inter-
esting.
We got a magnificent view Of the
Bavarian countryside as we as
scended the narrow winding road
from the town of Berchtesgaden to
Hitler's house. On the way we
passed many barracks which had
been billets during the war for SIS
troops and some Hitler Youths" I"
Most of them were in ruins from
many bombings.
Hitler's house sits right on the
side of the mountain and from the
balcony it is possible to acquire a
view of the entire countryside. Al
though the main section of the
house is still standing, the inside
has been greatly damaged. Furni-
ture has been removed and the walls
and floors have been torn open.
Some parts of the house have been
completely destroyed.
Only the frame remains of the
great window where Hitler once
stood and looked out at the Alps

Tricky Teena makes magic
Nth her scarts this year.
Being a smart schoolgirl she
has a number of them. Here
she has done up her "Ovl and
Pussy Cat" scarf By Glenter
to resemble a Stand-aUay
hood. Secret is in the tri-
angle OF tissue paper Which is
2S inches at its base. This
she has inserted in her large
square scarf Which has been
folded into a triangle. The
tissue giUes the scarf enough
body to Make it hold its
Stand-up shape. HeaUier
'Scarfs OF 1Dool need an extra
layer or taDo of tissue in case
you are interested in making
them, haze a hooded appear
ance, too.

THE JEWISH
QUIZ BOX
BY RABBI SAMUEL j. FOX
Copyright, 1917, Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)

QUESTION:: What was the sec
Ond stage in the development of
the Jewish Calendar"
ANSWER: In contrast to the
first stage which we previously
called the Biblical stage and
which was characterized by the
fact that the dates were set purely
upon the empirical observation of
the sun and the moon, the second
stage, which is usually referred
to as the "Talmudic Period" was
characterized by the fact that GER
tain calculations and reckoning
were employed. Heretofore, the
people of the surrounding country
and Babylon were informed of the
beginning Of the month by fire
signals which were carried from
station to station. During the
time of the leadership of Rabbi
Judah 1, the Samaritans, in an
attempt to confuse the Jews set
up fire signals at improper times
thus causing many to err in the
setting of the first day of the
month. Rabbi Judah then abol-
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1947-05-09

ished the system of fire-sig nais
and employed messengers instead.
During the Hadrianic prosecutions
Rabbi Akiba and his pupils at
tempted to lay down rules to be
used for the INTERPOLATION Of
month. Under the patriarchate
of Rabbi Judah III the testimony
of witnesses was already regarded
as a mere formality and the set
tlement of the day of the New
Moon rested entirely upon calcu-
lations. However, these calcula-
lions were kept secret.
QUESTION: What was the
third step in the development of
the Jewish Calendar?
ANSWER: The third stage
which is known as the "post-
Talmudic Period" already finds
the set-up of the calendar uni
versal knowledge, marking the
publication of the system of figuf-
ing the New Moons as we'll as the
leap years. This was naturally
brought about by the further dis
persion of the Jewish people and
the numerous prosecutions that
were suffered. A universally cal
calendar hence began to
serve as a link between the far
flung fragments of Israel. Along
with the Hebrew language and
culture, the calendar serves as one
Of the most important factors in
promoting Jewish unity the world
over.
QUESTION: What is the reason
for the Seven-day week?
ANSWER: Many writer's claim
that only the Hebrews along with
he Babylonians set upon the
'even-day week because the Wis
BILE phases of the moon change
approximately every seven days.
Others claim that the number
seven was derived from the num-
Der of the most important heav-
emily bodies which number seven,
ii. e., the sun, the moon and the
five planets.) While this may
have been true of other peoples
the traditional Jewish reason has
nothing to do with the aforemen-
toned. The Jews styled their cal
endar after the pattern of the Gre
alton. Since God created the
world six days and rested on the
seventh (as mentioned in the Book
of Genesis,) seven days constitut-
ed the first cycle of activity. The
Jews always believed that man, in
way, was partner in creation
and hence the image of God. Con-
sequently, it was ordained that
man too, work six days and rest
on the Sabbath, as his Creator
did.
