THE DAY AFTER.
“Licked to a frazzle!” But say,
What is the use of repining?
Home at the close of the day—
Arms of our loved ones entwining.
Out of the fret and the worry,
Out of the din and the strife;
Out of the battle and worry—
Home and the joytime of life.
Downed in the battle! But, say,
What is the profit in sorrow?
Love is still lighting the way
On to a glorious tomorrow.
Out of the turmoil and fuming,
Out of the worry and wiles,
Love with its welcome is looming,
Beckoning on with its smiles.
Whipped to a standstill! But, say,
Still there is joy in the losing
If love binds the wounds of the fray
After the battle’s confusing.
Out of the smoke and the rattle,
After the heat of the fray;
After the din of the battle,
Love lights the close of the day.
THE FEAST OF THE TABER-
NACLES.
The Feast of the Tabernacles or
Succoth, the name which it bears in
the liturgy, is the forerunner of our
national Thanksgiving day and was
observed in the synagogues beginning
Friday evening, October 6, for eight
days. The first and eighth days con-
stitute the holy convocations in the
Reform synagogue. Orthodox congre-
gations, however, celebrate October 7
and 8 as well as the two concluding
days of this festival. The intervening
week days are observed with semi-re-
ligious ceremonials. Sincere attempts
are made to construct booths and to
dwell therein, following literally the
injunction set forth in the Bible.
This custom has been continued with
more or less fidelity until modern
times. Definite measures to revive
the practice are now under way.
The particular interest to American
Jews and their fellow citizens attach-
ed to this harvest festival is the fact
that this is the source of our national
Thanksgiving day. Our national hol-
iday was appropriated from this Old
Testament institution. The agricul-
tural environment of that remote per-
iod is patent. The Biblical sources of
the Feast of the Tabernacles are found
in Leviticus 23: 34-35, wherein the Is-
raelites are commanded to celebrate
the 15th day of the seventh month of
the Hebrew calendar. This incident
of their wandering in the wilderness is
utilized to remind the present genera-
tion of God’s wonderful guidance and
how He preserved the children of Is-
rael in a lonely and barren desert.
The connection with the exodus
from Egypt dates from early times.
The name Succoth applied to the fes-
tival is traced to the period when the
wanderers erected tents while they
sojourned in the wilderness, a practice
which set the precedent for dwelling
in booths during this season.
But the harvest character of the
festival is also clearly shown in the
symbols each worshipper brings to the
synagogus, or which are exhibited
from the pulpit. These symbols are
the “ethrog” or citron; branches of
the stately palm tree, or “lulav;”
sprigs of the fragrant myrtle and
boughs of the humble willow of the
brook. s
The Feast of Tabernacles was in the
Biblical era, the great harvest festival
of autumn, when the people flocked to
the central sanctuary in solemn pro-
cessions, carrying palms and other
plants. ]
No matter what transitions the ies-
tival has undergone, in synagogue and
home today it retains its original
character as a season of gladness. The
joyous gratitude paid to God for His
protection of Israel during the forty
years’ wandering through the wilder-
ness has expanded into thanksgiving
for his guidance throughout the forty
centuries of Israel’'s pilgrimage
through all countries. This rejoicing
culminates on the last day in the
Feast of Rejoicing in the law, when
the annual cycle of readings from the
Pentoteuch is completed.
The significance retained by this
feast to this day, is the sublimity of
the thought interwoven in the ritual
and particularly the dignity and no-
bility with which labor and human ef-
fort are invested. God’s bounties are
abundant and the earth is full of the
riches of the Lord. But it is ordained
that none of these blessings are ob-
tainable unless effort is put forth to
possess them. When man eats the
fruit of the labor of his hands, bles-
sed is he. Then this earth becomes
no longer a vale of tears, the gloomy
abode of sorrowing or fretful crea-
tures but the destiny of man, his op-
portunity to till it and subdue it and
thus realize his own particular nature.
All synagogues were appropriately
decorated for this festival and in all
religious schools special features
marked the celebration. Pageant and
harvest festival programs were a few
of the varied entertainments arranged
for this autumn feast.—Ex.
Not to be Trusted.
Some years ago in a western State,
then a territory, a popular citizen be-
came involved with an influential
character and killed him.
Public sentiment leaned toward the
defendant, but the law was against
him, and when the day of the trial
came the defendant, his counsel and
friends held a consultation, and, fear-
ful of the consequences, they decided
that the defendant should plead guilty
and beg the court’s mercy.
The jury was charged by the court
and retired. Presently it returned,
and the foreman said:
“We find the defendant not guilty.”
The judge viewed the jury in sur-
prise and said:
“Gentlemen of the jury, how be it?
This defendant pleads guilty, and vou
find him not guilty ?”
“Well, your Honor, the defendant is
such a liar we can’t believe him under
oath.”—Unidentified.
THE CHINESE WALL.
Examine a map of the United
States and imagine two auto parties
starting from Philadelphia for a trip
westward. At Harrisburg, Pennsylva-
nia, one machine takes a side trip
through the Alleghenies almost to the
North Carolina border, the other zig-
zags across Ohio to Columbus. Far-
ther on the two autos meet, and to-
gether follow the southern boundary
of Indiana, then cross Illinois and en-
ter Missouri, just south of St. Louis.
From there one goes northwest to To-
peka, Kansas, the other following a
winding course through the Ozarks to
the Arkansas river, below Little Rock.
Now imagine that both parties have
been skirting a massive wall some
twenty-two feet high for the entire
length of the trip, a wall with towers
at frequent intervals, say about ten to
a mile, or about twenty-five thousand
in all. This wall is built of many
different materials and in many styles
of architecture; a wall with sufficient
material in it to make a wall around
the earth at the equator some eight
feet high and three feet thick. This
is the magnitude of the great wall of
China, which, with its various spurs
and loops, is estimated to be 2,550
miles long.
We do not know much about the or-
igin of this great work, except that it
was for defense and was planned by
one Chin Huang Ti about two hun-
dred years before Christ; that it has
been added to since that time, and
much of it stands firm today. There
was no steam machinery at that time,
but it has been estimated that it took
as much work as all our railroads, all
our canals, and some of our cities.
Chin at one time set some three thous-
and men at work.
This vast monument of a past age
is now useless, and if the same
amount of labor spent in it could be
put into modern improvements, such
as railroads, there would not be so
much poverty and suffering in China.
Surely China needs railways, for with
an area of four million square miles
she has seven thousand miles of rail-
road, while we, with three million area
have two hundred and fifty thousand
miles of railroad.

Hail the Eight-Wheeled Auto Bus!
An auto bus with eight wheels has
made its debut in San Francisco. It
is mounted on two trucks—like a
steam car or a trolley car—and is
steered by the four front wheels.
Driving and braking are done on the
four wheels of the rear truck. This
novel vehicle uses pneumatic tires and
is said to ride smoother, with less
wear and tear on tires and pavements,
than the common variety. Any one of
the wheels may be elevated or lower-
ed by running over an obstacle as
much as eight inches and yet carry
the same load as the other three of
the same set.
Another strong point is that the
eight-wheeled bus will not skid as
much as a four-wheeled one. Turning
a sharp corner at a speed of 48 miles
an hour does not noticeably sway it.
In spite of .its size, the hus uses only
32x4% tires. Experiment shows that
an air pressure of 70 pounds is best
for its tires as against 120 pounds in
most truck tires. The bus is mounted
on special springs with contacts at
eighths points.
Laundry Accidents Lead in State.
Harrisburg, Pa.—The largest num-
ber of accidents in any line of indus-
try during the first six months of the
year occurred in laundries, Commis-
sioner Connelley, of the labor and in-
dustry department announced. The
Commissioner says the occurrence in
six months of 18,561 accidents in laun-
dries shows the need of the safety
code just promulgated by the State
industrial board.
Compensation figures show that
66,256 accidents were reported to
July 1. Accidents among public serv-
ice employees numbered 10,878. The
figures show 9,636 bituminous 1vine
accidents and 8,923 anthracite. Blood
poisoning developed from 2,450 acci-
dents, injured laundry workers lead-
ing with 463 cases.
The department awarded in com-
pensation $5,783,658 for 32,834 com-
pensable cases. Approximately $1,-
500,000 of this went to victims of
mining accidents. Workers lost 1,-
496,582 days through accidents, mine
workers alone losing more than 500,-
000 days.
RR ————.—
This Month and Catarrh.
Many people find that during this month,
catarrh is so aggravated by sudden chang-
es of weather, indiscretions in the matter
of clothing and other things, that it be-
comes constantly troublesgme.
There is abundant proof that catarrh is
a constitutional disease. It is related to
scrofula and consumption, being one of
the wasting diseases. Hood's Sarsaparilla
has shown that what is capable of eradi-
cating secrofula, also relieves catarrh, and
aids in the prevention of consumption.
It is not easy to see how any sufferer can
put off taking this medicine, in view of the
widely published record of its remarkable
successes. It is ealled by its proprietors
America’s Greatest Medicine for America’s
Greatest Disease-- Catarrh.
In some cases there is occasionally need
of a thorough cathartic or gentle laxative,
and in these cases Hood's Pills are taken
with very satisfactory results. 67-44
They Redden Their Hair.
Smyrna’s ruin has called attention
to other Greek cities. Adalia is one
of the most interesting of ancient
Greek towns in Asia Minor. Greeks
occupy the southern part of the little
seaport town. They are notable be-
cause they preserve many quaint cus-
toms of the days when Paul Barna-
bas preached there and converted the
Greek population to christianity.
Adalia Greek women are renowned for
classic beauty and their peculiar habit
of reddening their hair, which is worn
in picturesque pigtails under tiny
purple bonnets.
The port is important to America
because Greek farmers export from it
quantities of licorice for use in the
manufacture of American tobacco.

3 New Nash Sport Model.
The new Nash sport model, just in-
troduced is pronounced by those who
have seen it to be a distinct achieve-
ment in finished excellence, perform-
ance and equipment.
Shipments of this new model began
October 1. Its appearance on show
room floors at points where it has
been received, has attracted instant
attention and in view of the fact that
the new sport model can be furnished
by the factory this year only in lim-
ited quantities, it is doubtful whether
the supply will begin to equal the de-
mand. The price is $1,645 f. o. b.
Kenosha.
The shapely maroon body of the
new Nash sport model is swung low
to the road. It is set off by handsome
bumpers front and rear, six disc
wheels, two spares with extra cord
tires and tire covers mounted at the
front on either side. In the rear is a
trunk with water proof cover, trunk
rack, windshield wings, nickel plated
windshield posts, spot light, nickel
plated barrel head lamps, nickel plat-
ed cowl lamps, nickel plated combina-
tion stop and tail lamp, radiator shell,
cowl ventilator, motometer, locking
type monogram radiator cap, silk mo-
hair top and windshield wiper.
The running boards are equipped
with special covering and aluminum
step plates with metal filled rubber
pads. The guard bars at the back of
the body are nickeled. The upholstery
is Spanish leather.
In short the new Nash sport model
is so excellent in point of service and
so attractive in appearance that its
reception on the part of the public in-
dicates it will have special precedence
in the fine car field. It is equipped
with the Nash perfected valve-in-head
motor, easy riding springs and pos-
sesses all those features that have
won for Nash sr distinguished a po-
sition in the automobile industry.

ists at The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, have averaged a higher per cent.
of increase due to spraying than any
spraying operations during the four,
previous years. At least twenty-four
of the plots have been inspected by E.
L. Nixon and his corps of extension
pathologists, in counties in the eastern .
and western parts of the State.
Centre county leads all others in
the increased yields of sprayed plots
over those that were unsprayed. On
the farm of Harvey Decker, of Spring
Mills, where Michigan disease-free
seed potatoes were used, the sprayed
section yielded an average of 403
bushels to the acre, an increase of 171
bushels over that received from the
unsprayed piece. On A. C. Kepler's
farm, near Pine Grove Mills, an in-
crease of 129 bushels or 40 per cent.
of the unsprayed yield, was obtained
at a cost of a little less than $12.00.
The average sprayed yield was 445
bushels, the highest yet reported for
Pennsylvania this year. :
Then the Super Bounced.
A fat actor had to jump from a
twelve-foot cliff to a piece of ground
that was hidden behind the scenes, so
he gave a brawny super a quarter to
be there to catch him when he landed.
The time came for the fat actor to
leap, and, looking and seeing that the
super was on the spot, he sprang care-
lessly into the void, as if the twelve
feet were no more to him than twelve
inches.
Down he sailed swiftly through the
air and—ecrash! he struck the hard
floor with terrible impact. For the
super, stepping back, had failed him.
“Why didn’t you catch me?” he
moaned when he could speak.
“I wanted to,” said the super, “but
you didn’t bounce.”—Los Angeles
Times.
