THE COST OF PEACE.

II is all very well TO talk about the
necessity of having large army and
navy. but can this country afford mill
tary establishments as large as the
military powers of Europe?
Germany, for instance. with popU-
lation of 60 100000, maintains an army
with a total war strength of l.S40, 600
and a navy of 26 first-class battleships
at an annual expense of 1924. 800 600
The United States spends very nearly
that much money for military pur-
poses, though our army Is so much
smaller Our army and navy appro-
priation bills now come to see, 900, 900
II Is easy to calculate that IL we were
to enlarge our military power in pro-
portion to our population, as compared
with that of Germany. the cost would
be runous
The army appropriation bill carries

THE EASTER EGG.

The Easter egg has become symbol
OF the resurrection. But the egg has
been regarded as an emblem of the
victory of life over death from very
remote ages.
In some ancient Asiatic systems OF
philosophy it was taught that the earth
was Matched from an immense egg. The
sun was represented to be IA large
golden egg which was constantly roll
ing nearer to the earth. And so the
egg became symbol of life, light and
heat Eggs were distributed at The
early equinox by priests 10 strengthen
the hopes of the people that the cold
days Of winter might soon cease and
q brighter time ensue. e
The custom OF giving brightly col
ored eggs to friends at Easter. and to
make eggs a prominent feature of the
bill of fare. Is very ancient and WIS
once more general than IL is now, But
In some parts of the world Easter eggs
are not only colored but inscribed with
notices. Eggs are in some countries
brought TO church and blessed. Then
they are carried home. where they are
placed on a kind OF altar. surrounded
by lighted candles and often flowers;
then each member of the family and any
guests abiding with them, eat one of
these eggs.
But such customs. like the pic
turesque national costumes of peasants,
are vanishing. Embems are discard
ed. But the thought that life ever con-
quers death lives in the human heart,
inspiring to deeds the results of which
may be seen after death.
