over death, the conquests of mankind
over the foes that beset and menaced
the highest but not the strongest of
more than motherhood, in some parts
Of the crude, young world, and the pa
triarchal head of the family quite
eclipsed his mate or mates in such dis
tinction as came from obedience to
the injunction to "be fruitful and null
tiply and replenish the earth"
1t is different now. In this stage OF
the worlds development the festival
of the renewing and reawakening of
life is mainly feminine, notwithstand-
Ing the fact that it celebrates the res
uerrection of the Son Of Man.
Women, not men, make of Easter the
great spectacle and day of rejoicing
which it has become in nearly all parts
of the Christian world. Women pre-
dominate in the churches. Women
give the Easter streets their glow Of
color and wealth of charm.
The world understands now, If 1t
did not long ago, that woman is the
She is the mother, the nurse, the
guardian angel of childhood. She is
the teacher, the comforter, the home
builder. She takes few lives and saves
many. She risks her own life that
others may live. Woman earns her
primary in the great festival of the
years new birth.
In the realm of the spirit, Also
woman is the priestess of life. She Is
the embodiment, in higher degree
than man, of the hope of the race, the
buoyancy and faith of the soul, the OPP
timism of trust in the reign of good
and the triumph of life over death.
She has more of the resurrection
spirit than man.
1t is easier for woman to believe
than for man, easier for her to feel
and thrill to the appeal of the resur-
rection. She enters more intensely
than man into the very heart and
soul of the Easter story. And the
| spirit that accepts most unreservedly
and gladly Casters religious and his
| toric meaning is the spirit which is
best attuned to the springy glory of
! the world.
The difference is clearly marked
early in life. Easter is far more to the
! girl than to the boy. The former, not
the latter. Iinds that the day appeals
to her strongly before she understands
much of it's significance. The boys
interest is narrower, less certain, less
hearty. He is out of touch with much
that his sister feels in the Easter cere,
monies and the Easter customs
From infancy TO old age, therefore
the spring festival is distinctively a
woman's festival. 1t is feminine In
outward beauty and charm. 1t is femi
nine, also, in the inner grace of the
heart that feels and the spirit that be
lieves in the reign of good and the un
ending triumphs of life over death

Congress Action Favoring Aviation
Meet Greatly Desired.

The action of the District Commission
ers in recommending to Congress the
patronage of the government for the pro-
posed aviation meet here meets with the
hearty approval of all the aviation men
in Washington. 1t is thought that the
action by Congress. if taken. will do a
great deal toward bringing the meet to
Washington, and it will have decidedly
good effect abroad in assuring foreign
aviators that the meet is really an Of
fetal affair.
OF course. if Congress chooses to make
an appropriation it will not be turned
down. That is not the way with Wash
ington toward congressional appropria-
tons. But the moral support of the gov
eminent will be worth more than large
amount of money. Both Thomas r.
Walsh the president of the Washington
Aero Club. and Charles j. Bell, the chair
man of the Washington and Baltimore
joint committee, said that any action
taken by Congress in giving its moral
support TO the project would be gladly
welcomed
Nothing has been heard by the Wash
ington club as TO the appointment Of
committee in New York to visit Wash
ington and inspect the sites offered for
the aviation meet. The members of the
board of directors of the Aero Club of
America are all pretty busy right now
overhauling the constitution and bylaws
of the club. and it is thought that when
that is finished the site committee will
be appointed.
