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.

DETROIT 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. • • • • ' Services for the late President Harding were conducted by many of the summer resort congregations.

The services were held in the Community Theater, the congregants numbering around 300. There were also present girls from neighboring camps, who attended in a body and participated in the singing. At Kaaterskill, N. Y., Rabbi Aaron Eiseman of New York City conducted the services, about 600 people attending. The congregation here is very large, as many people from all the hotels in the vicinity attend the services. be by far more fitting the day of "Rosh Ha-Shanah." W ould you go to 'your employer at the end of the year and tell him how badly you managed that he entrusted you with, and ask him to overlok it , to forgive you! The very thought would make you tremble, the very thought would make you fear, but you would have nothing to fear, you would net tremble if you made good. Why not make good the year around and then come to the Hall of Voices on "Rosh Ila-Shanah" and shout with glee your achievements of the past. Ask for long life and health so that you may be able to carry on your gist work and receive the praise of your fellow-man and the blessings of God.' Those were my thoughts on that day as I stood in the Hall of Voices. But Hark, what is that !—"Tee ke " 0"—the "Shofar" (ram's horn) an nouncing the close of "Rosh Ila-Sha. nab."

(Concluded from ('age 1.) 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. Children's Corner (Concluded from Editorial Pare.) good deeds, our achievements of the past year, asking for a reward, in- stead of forgiveness. How much more pleased on that day God would be if we came to Him not steeped in sin, not guilty of broken laws, promises and resolutions, not with hearts and souls tarnished with ingratitude, not as supplicants, not as men and women who promised to do better, but as men and women who did good, who made good, who created happiness, whose action inspired to a higher and nobler life, who helped to eradicate evil, mis- ery and gloom.

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. • • • • 11.1te Pa,.. the Week's News THE WOMAN'S EXCHANGE 47 Adams Avenue East INFANTS' LAYETTES Scientific Eye Examinations by Registered Specialist GI Correctly Fitted.
