QUESTION: What are Shay
mos?"
ANSWER: Torn or discarded
pages of volumes of holy writings
such as prayer books, Bibles, Holy
Scrolls, Talmudic books, etc., are
called "shaymos. Technically the
word "shaymos" means names. !"
These fragments or discarded
entities are called "shaymos" be-
cause usually one will find "G-d's
name" appearing on them. Thus
they are considered holy to a GER
tain extent and are not to be dis
carded like refuse.
QUESTION: What is done with
"shaYmos?"
ANSWER: Normally, they are
brought to the synagogue where
they are stored in special places.
After sizeable collection is at
hand, they are wrapped carefully
and are tremendously taken out
to the cemetery for special burial.
In many areas these burial cere-

monies were held in times of
plague and pestilence or when
there was a great draught. Many
American synagogues observe this
burial ceremony some time close
to the High Holidays.
QUESTION: Why is this done?
ANSWER: The logic is self
evident. People who are ill, or a
community stricken with plaques,
or people before the divine bar of
Judgment on the High Holidays
are like fragments from the Book
of Life. Those who have sinned
have detached themselves from
the Book of Law. By treating
these literary fragments with dig
nified burial and preservation, we
show the care and regard we have
for the letters Of the law even
after they have been torn and
discarded. We ask the lord to
show this same mercy toward us
at time when we appear like
shredded fragments of humanity.

How To Hold
FALSE TEETH
More Firmly in Place

Do your false teeth annoy and
embarrass by slipping, dropping
or wobbling when you eat, laugh
or talk? Just sprinkle little

false teeth more firmly and more
comfortably. No gummy, gooey,
pasty taste or feeling. Does not

Delayed by Absence
OF Italian Papers

Failure of dispositions to arrive
from Italy today caused another
postponement at the court-martial
of Col. Ralph c. Tilley on charges
of bigamous marriage to
young Italian woman he allegedly
brought home with him.
The six-man board sitting at
Fort Myer granted the defense
until May l to produce affidavits
being collected in Rome and
Genoa as to the 54-year-old
colonel's relationship to Jonilde
Bruno, "a, who says the defendant
is the father of her 18-month- old
son.
Col. Tilley, who is attached to
the Adjutant Generals Office at
the Pentagon, lives with his wife,
Mrs. Elizabeth Louise Tilley, at
Falls Church.
Col. Tilley is charged with con-
duct unbecoming an officer in that
he entered into a bigamous mar
riage and illegally harbored an
alien. The prosecution contends
the Italian woman was admitted
to the United States in April of
1948 on passport representing
her as Col. Tilley's wife. The
child was born IN the United
States.
The italian woman, who claims
she and the colonel were married
in Italy in the fall of 1947, is now
living with her son at Boyds, Md.
Defense Counsel George j. Bani-
gan of New York told the board
that the delay in obtaining the
dispositions is the responsibility
of military attaches at Rome and
the consul's office at Genoa.
Col. Tilley was taken off active
duty when the charges were first
brought. but later received in
structions to report back to work
in view of the many postpone
ments of the case.
The Italian woman was present
at the hearing today, but did not
testify.

Ham and Egg Prices
Drop in Washington
For Easter Shoppers

Eggs and ham. Easter favorites
have dropped a bit in price under
last week. survey of Washing
ton food stores showed today.
Food officials said the egg mar
ket last week generally dropped
cent a dozen in each grade
and there is a plentiful supply
Ham also is plentiful, officials de-
clared.
Ham that sold at 50 cents a
pound a week ago is now SO cents
for the Easter trade, one large
grocery chain said.
Grades of eggs that sold at
501a cents a dozen last week
are now 49 cents, officials ex-
planned.
Lower prices in fresh vegetables
are the result of the influx of new
crops from the south. Green corn
lettuce, peas. potatoes, spinach
asparagus and snap beans were
cheaper.
From the truck gardens of the
Carolinas. mustard greens, beets
and beet tops and radishes were

ture, saw little change generally
from last weeks prices.

Sesqui Amphitheater
Cost Increase 0kd

The National Capital Parks Of
flee received notice today to go
ahead with construction of the
main part of the Sesquicentennial
amphitheater in Rock Creek Park
without change of plans.
The executive committee of the
SeSauicentennial Commission, it
was announced after yesterdays S
meeting, agreed to put up an addi-
tional $4,000 to pay for the am
phitheater as a result of recent
contract troubles. The Jay Gee
Construction Co. now is expected
to go ahead with the work, already
delayed several weeks.
The additional amount agreed
upon will raise the total cost OF
the amphitheater to approx
mately s564,000. It was necessary
because of an error in computa-
ton by the original low bidder,
the E. L. Daniels Co. of Airing
ton. When park officials sought
to hold him to his terms, Mr.
Daniels appealed to the General
Accounting Office which ruled ne
could withdraw his bid. The
contract then was awarded the
Jay Gee Co.. second low bidder
Officials felt that since the
amphitheater was to be a perma-
nent structure it would be better
to avoid any cheapening OF de-
sign to absorb the extra cost.
Plans for the Freedom Fair still
are stymied. Sesqui officials are
waiting for Attorney General Nc
Grath to rule on the legality OF
a proposed corporation to manage
the show next year.
