■•The Jewish New Year begins tomorrow, at sunset. In the Jewish chronology it will be the first clay of the month Tishri in the year 5701, the reckoning being from the date of the Creation which is supposed to have taken place at the time of the autumn equinox in 3760 B.C. As the Jews have their own special calendar reckoning, their New Year falls on different dates each year. Tomorrow also is the first day of the Mohammedan month Ramadan.
