easoIIne Tanks in streets.

Editor The Evening Journal.
Recently ! have noticed several gasO-
line tanks on the outside OF stores in
various sections of the city, and ths
other day I WAS informed that one Of
these cans had caught fire and caused
considerable damage. This is not the
first time that fire has resulted from
the exposure Of gasoline can or other
infiammable materials left on the out
side of buildings Building Inspector
Connolly should inaugurate a crusade
against persons who persist In keeping
these materials on the outside Of build
ings whore the public pass. Gasoline,
especially is too dangerous TO DE left
in conspicuous places where "a match
is liable 10 be thrown near the can.
I do not believe that anyone would
deliberately cause one of these cans
TO explode, but cigar and cigarette ends
are carelessly thrown about, and sogne-
times a fire will result. The best pan
to prevent explosion Of these cans is to
keep them away from the sidewalk.
The back yard is the best place for
the gasoline can. Many bad fires have
resulted from the explosions Of gaso-
line, and many persons have met death
by using 1t car5lessly.

Eastsr Limits.


Editor The Evening Journal
Since Easter" cannot fall earlier than
March % nor later than April 25, in any
year these dates are called the Easter
limits."'
Easter occurred on March % in 1875 but
cannot come again on that day until 22s5
Many curious and anxious people desire
to know what fixes the date Of Easter
each year. They wonder why It does not
occur on the same date every year as
Christmas does.
Easter occurs the first Sunday on OF
next after March q, after the full of the
moon.
II the fun of the moon should come on
the elst Of March Easter is the next Sun.
day
IL the date were the same each year the
day would be observed on Sunday only
once in six years.
The fact that vornal festivals-that is
belonging TO or pertaining to spring-werC
general among pagan people. no doubt
this had much to do with the Introduction
Of Easter festivals in Christian churches
The English term Easter" is Of pagar
origin
In S25 A. D., the matter was brought by
Emperor Constantine before the Council
Of Nice. ana It was thought best that the
anniversary of the event which changed
the Sabbath TO the first day Of the week
then in use. should be the proper day e
observe Easter. However on the morrow
let us be more Christian than pagan.
Very respectfully.

ganization will now represent all the commercial

of the Board OF Trade it is the intention OF that
body, through committees, to look after the well

Some one has said that a band of
music is OF more potential for good

influence tends to encourage order
and refinement, and thus promotes
the development of the higher senti-

MRS. SARAH
f. SMITH
is DEAD
One of the Few Remaining OREGON
Pioneer Women Passes to the
Great Beyond

The reaper death has seen fit n
remove from our midst another ot
Oregon's beloved pioneer women.
Mrs. Sarah E. Smith is no more
Death came last night at 12 O'Clock
after a lingering illness of a few
weeks. Some time ago Mrs. Smith
had an attack of grip, from which
she never fully rallied. For the
past week she has been very feeble
but was not thought to be in a crit.
ical condition until yesterday, when
she was taken with sinking spells
and gradually lost consciousness
and closed her eyes in death, as 10
she was in natural sleep.
Mrs. Sarah Smith was born I'm Vir-
ginia in 1929, and crossed the plains
as Miss Sarah Craft in 1S45. She
is one of the few who remain who
came by the Meeks cut-off. After
enduring many hardships the party
finally arrived In the Willamette val.
ley, and Miss Craft settled with her
relatives in East Salem, In what Is
now known as Watt addition. She
was married In 1916 to Joseph Watt
who for many years conducted a fur.
niture factory in East Salem. TcI
the union was born the following
surviving children: James Watt, Of
Or; Charles l.. Watt and
Elizabeth Watt. of this city, and
George Watt, now of New York
City.
Her husband, Joseph Watt. died
and she married Hon. Fabritis Smith
and until his death in 1898 she re-
sided on the Smith farm in South
Salem. Since this date she has re-
sided In the Watt addition near
Fourteenth and Chemeketa streets,
in this city.
She has been a devoted Christian
all her life, and at the time of her
death she was the Oldest living mem
ber of the First NJ. Il. church OF this '
city. She was sister OF Mrs. Geo,
p. Litchheld. OF this city.

Hard Labor Conditions in Baden

bhfu i4hDof tOnuitiOns III bhuth'
The factory inspectors of the
Grand Duchy of Baden have publish
ed a comprehensive report on the
home industries of their country
which has attracted much attention
because of the picture II paints OF
the misery and destitution in which
large portion of the population
lives. 1t is recognized besides that
the picture is only that which might
be drawn in any other German state.
In these home industries in Baden
there are over 10000 persons em-
ployed, of whom 64 per cent are fe-
males. Among the thousands OF
children employed many are under
6 years old. The report says they
look pale, emaciated and serious
They are described also as timid
and as generally complaining OF
their school work. Among numer-
Gus examples of precocity among
these children IL is related how boys
of Ia direct the work of their young
er brothers and sisters.
With regard to the number OF
hours worked by these people, the
report says that days of thirteen and
fourteen hours are by no means
rare. and it not infrequently hap
pens that sixteen and seventeen
hours are worked. There is no reg
ular time for meals. These are
eaten anyhow, in cd intervals.
In the brush and china industries
women work usually until IL O'Clock
at night. Cases are recorded where
work begins at 3 or o'clock In the
morning in summer and in winter
and lasts until or 10 at night
sometimes till after midnight. Wom-
en- have come to the factory inspee-
tors weeping to complain OF their IN
sufficient earnings. Even men In the
watch industry of the Black Forest
work for IA pfennige Ia fraction
over 1sd) an hour working 10
hours a day. This makes dairy
wage of something over two marks
(2s.)
In several other industries wages
