Official census figures just published show there are 1,165,290 waifs and
stray children registered in the Ukraine alone. This number is exclusive
of the 115,000 homeless or "Bedouin children" in the cities of Odessa and
Nikohtiev. In general this is taken to be a conservative estimate, unofficial
statistics having previously disclosed that in all Russia there are over
3,000,00 children in need of homes or care, or both, and that the majority
of these children are scattered over the Ukraine.

The spectacle of Bavarian Jews calling the Berlin Jews names is being
enjoyed by all who read the Bavarian press. Jews of Munich, calling them-
selves "National German Je•s," have "vigorously protested," in letters
printed by some of the anti-Semitic Munich papers, aganist the "Central
Society of German Citizens of the Jewish Persuasion" because the "Central-
verein" assailed General Ludendorf, "the Gelman leader and hero." The
Munich Jews are "shocked" because leading German Jews in libel proceed-
ings recently ended accused the generalissimo of virulent anti-Semitism.

The estate of Levy Mayer of Chicago, who died Aug. 14, 1922, was
appraised at $5,499,097. The bulk of his estate is in Chicago. By the
will Mr. Mayer gave all his personal effects to his wife, Rachel Mayer, and
also left her half the residuary estate for life, after which it goes to her
daughters, Madeline M. Low and Hortense M. Hirsch. The daughters get
the rest of the residue, one-third when their father died, a third when they
reach :15 years and a third at 40 years. Mr. Mayer left $100,000 to his
executors to distribute within two years among such Chicago charities as
they should select. Mayer was one of the best corporation lawyers in the
country, representing, among other large interests, the "big five" packers.

In response to the request of the Jewish Welfare Board, the Secretary
of War has issued instructions to the army and the acting chief of the
Bureau of Navigation has issued instruction to the navy, to the effect that
;Jewish men in the service be granted furloughs wherever possible to enable
them to observe Rosh Ila-Shanah and 'tor Kippur. The United States
War Veterans Bureau will also issue a circular letter, granting leave
to those men whose physical condition permits to go home. For men who
will not be able to have their posts the board has made arrangements for
hospitality, including meals and lodging, in communities adjacent to the
camps and hospitals, and for attendance at religious services. Arrangements
for the observance of the High Holy Days have already been made for the
men in the outlying stations comprising China, Manila, Hawaii, Panama and
Haiti, by the representatives of the board.

OUR HOLIDAY CUSTOMS
home and shelter and every other
possession through no fault of their
own. Their unfortunate experiences
during many years of persecution and
pogroms only places them in a posi-
tion the better to appreciate the free-
dom and opportunity that would be
afforded them in this country.
Who Is to Select Immigrants.
"What I have said of Poland may
well apply to Lithuania and White
Russia on a relatively much smaller
scale.
"There seems to be no reason at
all why the right kind of immigrant
should not be given an opportunity
of helping us perpetuate those insti-
tutions which we cherish most. The
wealth and resources of our country
are unlimited and we can conveni-
ently absorb 1,000,000 a year and
tie better for it. Of course, these
newcomers must be selected, but our
process of selection should be effect-
ed by an impartial body of men—
men who will have only the industrial,
economic and moral welfare of our
great country in mind.
"l'es, and these men, these impar-
tial judges of future Americans, must
also be imbued with a genuine sense
of bunion considerations. They must
be able to recognize the refugee, the
victim of hatred and religious perse-
cutions, the victims of pogroms and
revolutions, and recognizing him,
must be able to make allowance for
him.
"Immigration problems met and
dealt with by such a body of men will
protect as against undesirable ele.
tnents, and by the admission of those
that are not only entitled to come in
but are essential to our future wel-
fare, will ensure for this great and
free country ever greater blessings."
This season of the year is the sea-
son of forgiveness. We have had many
customs in our religion that show how
our people practiced this thought. It
is not unusual today to see people who
have been on unfriendly terms with
one another during the year and who
for some reason, as for forgiveness
have not spoken a word to each other
during the holyday season of Rosh
Ha-Shanah. If we ask why this was
done, we can probably find the ailswerl
in the saying of one of our ancient
Rabbis: "Yom Kippur will not bring
God's forgiveness to any unless he is
on friendly terms with his neighbor."'
On New Year's afternoon, another
interesting custom is observed by
many. The men and boys go to a
stream or river near their hone and
cast bread C11101118 into it. This cere-
mony is known as "Tashlich," which
means "thou wilt cast." When the
crumbs are thrown into the water, a
prayer is recited, asking God to east
the sins of His people into the depths
of the sea, where they shall remain
hidden forever and no longer remem-
bered. They do not believe that their
sins or mistakes can be thrown to the
bottom of the river or ocean. They
mean to ask (aid, who sees everything
to overlook their mistakes and to for-
give them, to take their faults front
them and help them he better nien
through His love and kindness.
On the night before Your Kippur,
one may see roosters and hens in
some Jewish homes. These are to be
used in the ceremony known as "Kap-
limos." As the boy or girl, the man
or woman, reads a prayer the fowl is
waved above his head. The prayer
states that the fowl is to pay the pen.
alty for the sins of the one who is
waving it. It is to die as a sacrifice
and to bring forgiveness to this per-
son. And before the evening is over,
the hens and roosters are killed ac-
cording to the Jewish law and prepar-
ed for the meal which is eaten on the
following evening, before the Day of
Atonement, the day of fasting, begins.
During the service of the Day of
Atonement, a man who is supposed to
be descended from the priestly family
of ancient Israel, gives the priestly
blessing as it was given by the ancient
priests. Ile chants it in a very strange
sounding melody, with his "tallith" or
prayer-shawl drawn over his head, No
one looks up at him from the prayer-
book (luring the time that this cere-
mony goes on.
Throughout the whole year, differ-
ent customs and ceremonies are ob-
served. In some Jewish homes we see
many of them, but in others we see
none whatever. I feel that it would
be very interesting for the Juniors to
write the Editor of the Children's
Corner about any other customs that
are observed in their homes or in their
synagogue at this season.

The London Times had a dispatch the other day from its Jerusalem cor-
respondent who reported that Jewish circles in Palestine were very much
pleased with the change in the personnel of the Zionist Executive made at
the Karlsbad Congress. Palestine Jews, the correspondent states, were par-
ticularly pleased with the elimination of M. Ussishkin and the substitution in
his stead of Colonel Kish, from whom they are expecting greater achieve-
ments. Mr. Ussishkin, who was at the head of the Zionist Orgonization in
Palestine since 1915, was not over popular he says. It is believed here
that this report comes from the "Zionist correspondent" of the Times, who
is known for his hostility to 11. Ussishkin.
