THE ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING
DAY.
CBy Katherine G. Randall.)


Any definite claim regarding the
origin of Thanksgiving, day and its
customs is somewhat obscure A mod.
ern popular belief ascribes 1t exclu-
sively to our Pilgrim forefathers but
this idea is erroneous. 1t is quite pos
sible that the original idea may have
been given In the Hebrew Feast of the
Tabernacle" or Feast of the lngather-
ing" at the close of the year Then
families gathered together, dwelt in
booths and gave thanks for the bounty
of the harvest.
European history records several no
table thanksgiving observances among
which was that following the battle of
Cressy when Edward Ill isued orders
that all boasting of the yalor of the
English army and all insulting of the
conquered should be restrained, for ito
God alone was due the praise and to
Him thanks should be given" After
the Black Prince had won the decisive
battle of Poitiers, a solemn thanks
giving was publicly observed through
out all England for eight days. The
destruction of the Spanish armada was
another occasion for season of pray
er and thanksgiving proclaimed by
England's queen-Elizabeth Probably
one of the most notable observances
in all Europe was the great day of
rejoicing on October 3, 1875, when the
people with songs, and yet with tears.
gave thanks for the relief of Leyden
The observance of occasions for
thanksgiving in their native country
may have suggested the idea to the
early colonists but Thanksgiving day
as ii is now observed is essentially
an American institution.
No definite date can be set as the
first observance OF the day In this
country. In 1921, the Pilgrims at Ply
mouth observed harvest festival
which judged by their Puritan customs
was not in any sense a thanksgiving
otNtIdl hoWtNtis II Us
the progenitor of our own harvest
feasts and state that II WAS in reality
the first Thanksgiving. 1t certainly diff
fers from our modern ideas in that nc
religious service is mentioned and {
whole week was given up 10 festivity
The Biblical Jewish feast OF Ingather
ng already mentioned or the Harves
Home of England may have furnished
the motive to the colonlsts for theil
own harvest festival.
The first recorded appointment of ;
special thanksgiving da- was In 1923
The previous year had been a gloom!
and unfortunate one for the colonists
the rapid repletion of their gore o
food supplies and the delay OF shil
bearing fresh supplies greatly intensi
flying their anxiety. Their condition
must have been discouraging, indee'

MAY AFFECT LOCAL FOREIGNERS
Decision Of Chief Of Naturalization
Department Provides a Sensation.

According to a ruling recently
made by acting chief of the division
of naturalization, Raymond F. Crist,
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor at Washington, Turks, Arme-
mans, Syrians and other Asiatics are
ineligible for naturalization into cit
izenship of the United States because,
as he claims they are not free white
persons" In an interview with Charles
Def. Bancroft, local representative
in the naturalization department of
the Federal Court in this city, yes
terday, he said that this ruling would
effect great part of the foreign pop
ulation in this city and in Barre and
that there were a number of appli-
cations before the court at the pres
ent time from residents and tax pay
ers who came from the countries de-
barred but who If the ruling of the
Washington division chief is held to
will not be given final papers as cit
liens in this court.
The ruling was made in answer to
queries of the clerk of the Federal
Court, of Springfield, Mass, Robert
o. Morris, who had written to Mr. I.
Crist for enlightenment following no.
LITIGATION that Thodor Naum Papas, n
Turk who had applied for naturaliza-
ton in that city, was not eligible to
citizenship because he was not a
free white person" as mentioned in
the law.
Mr.. Bancroft said that it was thu
first he had heard of any law which
excluded Turks, ETC., and that at
every session of the court held in this
city that he hands in eight or ten
names of people of the debarred ma
tionalities, according to the new rub
ing and that they are never denied
papers, nor have they ever been class
ed as in the yellow race by the Fed
eral Court of Vermont
He says that if this law Is held
good by the Supreme Court, Of the
United States, which he doubts very
much, that it will materially affect
the alien population OF this vicinity as
many of them are Syrians and Turks
The new ruling of course will tie
up the work of issuing certificates OF
naturalization to foreigners of this
extraction until the law is cleared
up on this point, but as some of the
best naturalized citizens in both
Barre and this city are Assyrians as
well as some of the most Industrious
and heavy tax payers, there IL little
probability but that this ruling which
is after all made by an acting chief
of division will not be allowed to
stand.

ARE THE SIGNS LEGALa
Claims Made That Some MiddIesex
Signs Are Too Small.

The trespass signs which have
been placed over the greater part OF
the hunting land in the town of Mid
dlesex and which were for the most
part bought in this city, are said t.
be illegal, as they do not meet the
requirements of the law in regard to
size.
If this is the case, hunters may
trespass on this land without incur
ring the risk of being brought be-
fore justice and fined $40 for tres
pass. Grand Juror Burton e. Bailey,
when seen last night, stated that he
understood that many of the signs
were under size.
The law says that these signs shall
be two feet in length and anything
under that can not uossibly stand be-
fore a court. Some of the signs sold
in stores and printed in this city dur
ing the early fall, are said to be only
foot and half long, so that on the
land on which these signs are placed,
hunters may trespass with impunty,
as the law does not recognize them
as trespass signs

lamps Add Beauty to Room.

No one piece of furniture or brio
a-brac can add more in the way of
beauty to a room than one of the col
ored lamps of which there is now
such large selection.
Especially beautiful are those with
dull green bronze standards and lead
ed glass shades, most of them being
modelled on flower and tree forms.
An especially artistic design is. one
that takes its motive from the wis
taria blossoms.
The roots form the base, the vine
itself is twisted and twined about
the standard, and the shade is mass
of dropping purple blossoms.
Another of similar character is an
adaptation Of the grapevine and its
fruit
The golden daffodil is one Of q
great many flower motives. The tint
ed glass shades and in their graceful
| forms, delicate changes in tint and
suggestions of the graceful lines OF
leaf or flower, seem to contain the
essence of the natural living color.
The designs are of course, conven-
tionalized. o---
Candlesticks and candelabra are
made from the green bronze and I'M
DERIVING Opaque glass, with long
slender stem lines and a suggestion
of the dalyx OF the flower In the cam
die cup.
Hall lanterns are very strong and
dignified in design, often made after
the quaint models from foreign lands
dating back even to the lanterns of
the biblical type. They are made of
copper, brass, bronze, or of bronze
and loaded glass. sUsxzwD-
Full of artistic possibilities in col
or combination are the oil lamps
made up. with Japanese pottery
bowl, with either geisha shade or
one similar in shape, with fiat panels
covered with Japanese brocade or
even with cretonne or wall paper.
The effects to be obtained are end
less in variety and beauty.
One with base of soft fawns and
browns has a shade of golden-brown
Chinese brocade; q base in which
peacock blue had olive green ar,
blended. A getsha shade, with blue
fleur de lis and green leaves, comes
with base of deep blue, and blue
and white deft base has a cretonne
shade showing the same colors.
