the leading parts with the elder Booth and

Florence Clark and Owen, of those who have

who still survive. She was in her day an in

A feature article by Walter Wellman, pub
lished in The Star for September II, 1897, ex-
planned the technical pro-
lbsen's Methods cedures of the celebrated
OfWok Norwegian poet and dram
atist, Henrik Tbsen, author
of "A Dolls House" THE Wild Duck peer
Gynt" and many other famous works. He was
alleged to have told one Of his few confden-
tial friends that some Of his greatest
dramas he had written in six weeks. = = He
spends many months in thinking out the plot,
the characters, the dialogue. But not word is
put on paper. Everything is carried in his
mind. Suddenly he shuts himself up to write.
During this time he will see no one. He
lives alone. His meals are sent In to him as II
he were a prisoner. He will not permit the
members of his family to talk to him. In brief
Ibsen labored in a world entirely his own, self
exiled until the manuscript with which he was
concerned specifically was completed.

Rosh Hushuno

Once again the celebration of the New
Year of the Jews takes place under condi-
tions which fill all men of good will with
horror. The conclusion of World War II
has not brought peace to the House of
Israel. Instead, the Children of Abraham
throughout the earth continue to be af-
f1icted. Their lot obviously merits the
sympathy and especially the understand
ing of their brethren Of every creed.
1t would help immensely if everybody
would remember that civilization in this
planet traces back to the fusion of Judaic
and Christian ideals nearly twenty cen
turies ago. The conception of just and
merciful God and of human brotherhood
functioning as constructive force under
His benign guidance is tradition accepted
by Jews and non-Jews alike. 1t has been
when other notions have come into being
and where other less worthy, less. honor
able and less generous procedures have
been operative that both groups have suf
fered, the minority most notably.
Tyrants dictators, usurpers usually
have been atheists, rejecting the reign of
God as they reject all other power outside
UllSllSClVcS anu OIltlI lIIlIlcu1dUc ll1SUl u
ments. 1t is conspicuous symptom of
misrule that it gloriies itself and belittles
religion and philosophy. If there is single
fact that humanity has had occasion to
learn above any other it is that strength
lacking spiritual authority is untrust-
worthy, dangerous, perverse. From its
start the American Republic took its stand
upon the Ten Commandments and upon
the Sermon on the Mount, inseparable
doctrines.
And the eve of Rosh Hashana is q
moment for remembering that the Scrip
lures are common possession of Jews
and Christians together. They may be
read in different tongues, interpreted in
different fashions, but fundamentally they
are unity upon which, as upon nothing
else, enlightened citizens of the modern
age depend. What is wanted is the spread
ing of the healing essence of this fellow
ship over the whole globe. Such a con-
summation is not infeasible. Herein lies
hope for all the race.

In an automobile. Statistics reveal tliI,.
about nine times as many drivers in the
sixteen-eighteen age group are involved in
serious traffic accidents as those in the
forty five -to-fifty group. Sixteen-year-old
drivers lead all other age groups in fatal
traffic accidents.
This is a phase of the highway safety
problem that has been sadly neglected in
the past Justice Holtzoff has rendered a
public service by bringing it anew to public
notice A thorough study of the advis-
ability of raising age limits for car drivers
is warranted by the accident statistics.
And responsible parents will give whole
hearted support to such an investigation.
