DOG LEADS WAY TO BODY
OF MASTER. A SUICIDE
The Feast of Passover, a Jewish
religious observance, begins Monday
evening fit 8 o'clock, and the occasion
will .be marked by impressive serv
ices in all Jewish temples.
Rabbi David Marx, of the Hebrew
Benevolent Congregation, in speak
ing of the Passover celebration in
Atlanta, this morning said:
“While the entire week will be fes
tive In its nature, the public worship
for Passover observance will be held
Monday evening at H o’clock, Tues
day morning at 10 o’clock and Sun
day afternoon at 6 o’clock. The last
service will be held the Monday
morning following.”
Short History Prepared.
The Central Conference of Amer-
ican Rabbis has prepared a short his
tory of the Feast of Passover, and
the Important traditions of the cele
bration are set forth, in part, as fol
lows :
“Passover has, from antiquity,
been taken to commemorate the de
liverance of the Israelites from Egypt
after 450 years of servitude.
“Compliant with the Biblical com
mand. the observant Jew, during the
Passover week, abstains strictly from
the use of all leavened substances. In
stead of the ordinary yeast bread, a
species of large cracker called Mat-
zoth. or unleavened bread, is eaten.
During Passover week the orthodox
Jew will not even use the same dishes
and utensils in which leavened food
has been placed.
First Service Significant.
"The most significant and..beautiful
aspect of the Passover celebration Is
ihe service held within the Jewish
home on the first evening of the feast.
"The members of. the family and
their guests sit around the supper ta
ble. which is spread with festive ele
gance. Upon the table are the ‘bitter
herbs’ and the roasted shank bone, the
egg, the parsley, the bowl of salt
water, the unleavened bread and oth
er symbols. The service is chanted
from a curious old book called the
‘Haggaduh,' which tells about the de
liverance from Egypt.
"As a rule, the topic for pulpit dls-
quisitoln on Passover—particularly in
the ‘Reform* synagogues. where
preaching is a regular feature of the
services —is related to tlie theme of
‘liberty.’ ”
Italian To Test New

long (about 3,953 feet) converge to
tlie operator's cabin at tlfe foot of the
cliff, (ialetti obtained authority to

Office Department, which, working in
co-operation with Italy and the
t'nited States, expects eventually to
exploit the Leschauz station for Ihe
purposes of direct communication
with New York Bialetti expresses
