The other men praised the courage and calmness of Matiklewicz which, they said, largely was, responsible for them getting out alive.

WE DO OCR FART rt MIT Rosh Hashanah New Year's Day Feast Opens Wednesday Eve-ning; Heralds Year 5,694 The feast of Roh Hashanah or New Year's Day, which inaugurates the most solemn season of the Jewish, religious year, begins this year on Wednesday evening, September 20, and lasts till sundown Thursday, September 21.

Among Orthodox Jews who celebrate two days, the following day, Friday, is also observed This holiday opens the Jewish calendar year, five thousand six hundred ninety-four (KM). The injunction to blow the trumpet on this day was to call the people to remembrance before the Lord. In the course of time. this ceremony of blowing the sho-far became the central feature of the elaborate religious service con ducted on the day. Just as the shofar called the people to remembrance before the Lord, so also were its sounds to arouse the people to their shortcomings and to their duties in which they may have failed.

The day is called on this account yom haiikkaron, "The Day of Memorial. Another idea which in time came to be associated with the day was that on this day God weighed men actions in the scale of justice. For this reason another designation of the day is yom haddin, "The Day of Judgment." The days interven ing between New Year's Day and the Day of Atonement are called "The Ten Days of Penitence," during which the opportunity is afforded to reflect finally on and repair the wrongs done during the year; if the repentance is sincere forgiveness is gained on the culminating day of the holy season, "The Day of Atonement." The New Year's Day in the passing of the centuries has thus come to embody the great religious ideas of divine justice and human responsibility.

COAL CODE (From Fut 1) Lest the declaration of "friendly aid" should be construed as softness, Johnson attached to the regulations the warning that "if an employer wilfully persists in noncompliance With the agreement after being fully informed of his obligations, he is no longer entitled to the Blue Eagle and tie federal government will take it away." As a cheering note in the recovery campaign's progress, the national labor board reported it had settled 19 labor disputes in the last three weeks, involving nearly 400 firms. The price control question now up for decision finds a stack of briefs on the desk of Donald Rich-berg, NRA counsel, for and against the provisions in the retail code for maintaining mmimum prices at 10 per cent above the wholesale cost Because of the wrangling over the coal code, neither Richberg nor Johnson has been able to give the price issue the attention they wished. Since this is an urgent code, both must now study the price problem, along with consideration-of getting the hundreds of thousands of stores not members of trade associations into agencies that can exercise trade practice control Johnson, searching for a "crack-erjack trade association hoped to get to work on this task shortly, with his trade organizer to be charged with helping all unorganized establishments into associations or other similar agencies. The coal code was signed just after 7 o'clock last night by the operators, after a day of steady conferences that ironed out detail after detail in the charter. Acceptance by the majority of operators of its terms came approximately 48 hours after President Roosevelt had given the mine owners 24 hours in which to compose their differences, which were then still far apart after weeks of discussion.

President Roosevelt is expected to sign the code tomorrow, which would make it effective two weeks hence, or October 2. E. W. Forsht Prominent In Farm, Dairy Work E. W.
