scnting the horns grew more and more careless,
the lines became straighter and straighter, the
bases OF the horns were crossed aud finally the
marking became simple cross, and horns only
by courtesy. From Greece the spring festival and
the ''boun' passed to Rome and thence to the
Roman colonies, of which Britannia became one
at comparatively late date. Wien the Chris
tian religion became thoroughly established the
priests, backed by civil authorities, put down
with heavy hand all the heatllcn ccremonials.
So the little cross.mirkcd ''boun'' WAS swept
from all Europe, except that in some part OF
south England it was permitted TO survive, the
cross taking new Significance as n Chris
tian symbol, AS the initial Of Nristos, the Greek
form of Christ, and later as the cross on which
the founder of Christianity suffered. From Eng
land they have come 10 America, and the Amer
ican who eats hot cross buns on Good Friday
can decide whether he honors Isis, Ceres or
Diana, whether he cats thcn as pious Christian
act, or simply because he is hungry.
Good Friday in early times was a day OF alb.
solutc and rigorous fast, and called Long
Friday by the Anglo.SaXons whose empty stonl-
achs were their only clocks. Probably with the
idea OF making the day little less long they
convinced themselves that it was not only not
wrong but positively meritorious to cat on this
day the ''bouns'' or buns marked with the holy
sign of their religion Sc the cross huns became
identified with the day, and Long Friday was
not more Long Friday but Good Friday. And
on Good Friday the people of England and New
lok eat hot cross burs.

ROM THE remarks credited to
the recorder in last night $
Il Times it might be inferred
that II conspiracy has been
afoot to humiliate his friends. Nothing
could b. further from the truth.
When Mir. Clcmons was offered the
appointment OF director of public safety
he Informed the recorder frankly that
unless he could take the Office free
handed, with full power over subordin-
ates, as the charter in Article MI pro-
>des, he did not want it, If held re-
sponsblc in the difficult task of bring
ing forth good results, he considered 1T
10 more than fair and business-llke
that he should have undivided control
over the forces under his command. To
begin with hands tied, with account
ability but without power, was to in
vito failure. in the odium of which
both himself and his indorscrs would
share. He stipulated for authority to
match his responsibility. TO this real
sonablG proposition the recorder as
sented. The understanding was en-
plicit and complete. On that basis, and
OH that basis only, Mr.. Clemens ac-
ceptcd the proftered office, which prom
ised to involve considerable personal
sacrifice.
Having had thi, frank understanding
at the very beginning, he deemed it his
right to choose The responsible agents
who We're to look after the detailed
workings Of the bureaus to be under
his charge, The fact that this, that or
the other subordinate was a friend of
the recorder should, he argued, be sec

individual should be kept; ii in the
judgment of the head of the depart

t!emonS, it is the directors duty to re-
place him, regardless of personal pref
erenceS.
This is the way responsibilities are

but also served public notice that his
department heads, where his favurites
are concerned, must be mere figure
heads--a policy fatal to efficiency.
When Captain Moir was appointed
recorder, the ondcavor was made. by
