Death Often Unkind In the Manner of
 Their Taking of.
 Of the monarchs who have reigned over England since the days of the Norman conquest nearly one-quarter of the number have met violent deaths William l. was killed by a fall from his horse, William II. was shot while hunting, whether by accident or de- sign is still one of the unsolved prob. lens of history; Richard l. was killed by a shaft from a crossbrow while besieging the city of Chaluz, in France; Richard II. was murdered in Pontefract castle, Edward II. was murdered in Berkeley castle and Edward V. in the Tower of London. Richard III. was killed on the battlefield of Bosworth. and Charles l. had his head cut off in London.
 Elizabeth's death was hastened by remorse that she had ordered the ex- ecution of Essex. and her sister Mary sickened and died soon after the loss of Calais, declaring that the name of that city would be found after death written on her heart The death of Edward Ills son, the Black Prince, caused the aged monarch to die of grief So, after the loss of his son in the White Ship, Henry I. was never seen to smile again and lived only a short time Henry VI. and George III. were insane during the latter years of their reigns and finally died from what in these days would be called paresis. Charles H., Henry VIII.. Ed. ward ". and George W. hastened their deaths by the lives they lived. Only two monarchs died of that great na- tional scourge, consumption. They were Edward VI. and Henry VII. Queen Anne's death was due as much as anything else to overlooking. Only two monarchs. Henry VI. and George. H., died after long illnesses.-Londop Tatler

eZv and Pagan CeRbr1utpl THe
 dUent 0f Spring

Many best known to-day, such as Let the song be begun" and Christ hath arisen! Death is no more!" and "The strife Is OCT, the tattle done." are quite recent in origin. There are sev- eral very old Easter songs singing of birds, flowers and joyous sports sug- gesting the frolics of the spring.
 From the first little band of strug- gling Christians led by St. Paul. the Roman church grew into powerful political organization and sought to keep all within the fold by utilizing the pagan customs, for the end sane tified the means. Following on Christ mas had come a period of dull win ter and fasting, now the season was changed and the earth awakened to youth and sunlight. Many curious practices of Persians. Druids. Goths and Vandals were drawn into church ly service.
 The most solemn celebration of all is that at the Holy Sepulchre i'll jeru' salem. while the grandest Is at Rome when the city Is filled with church dignitaries and visitors.
 At Jerusalem the pilgrims ascend the Via Dolorosa. They come from every quarter of the globe chanting prayers, and taking part in the foot washing ceremony. The throng kneels in the vast rotunda of the church many remaining in their places from Good Friday until Saturday when the natriarch with unlighted torch enters the gloom of the sepulcher. Suddenly as if flashing from heaven the fire runs along the torch. the multitude shouts with joy and singing hymn of thanksgiving the flame springs from candle to candle, the tapers are i passed along, and cherished are car ried to the fastresses of Afghanistan' to the sources of the Nile. and farth' est east and farthest west wherever the Christian pilgrims make home
 The egg, symbol of life is natural Nv associated with Easter. The but terfy emerging from the cocoon Is sometimes spoken of. but only ob scurely. The custom of coloring eggs came from the Persian gods of good and of evil. The good of good Or muzd and the evil of evil Adriman

Old Book Terms.

The words folio. quarto, octave. duo decimo and the like have almost if not quite lost their original meaning. At first they had reference only to the number of leaves into which the sheets used in making the books were folded Thus if these sheets were folded once so as to form two leaves or four pages the book was called a folio; if the sheets were folded twice so as to form four leaves the book was called a Quarto; If they were folded four times 50 as to form eight leaves the book was called an octave, and so on.

 ms, the goddess Eostre, the deity of spring, was honored when the green herhage began to stir in the fields and forests, and the northward moving sunrays melted the ice and snow. AtrsN the Romans adopting this god dessT called her Aurora, the divinity af the dawn and spring. The Fire warshipers on the uplands of Persia, and northern tribes everywhere. made Joyful at the return of the sun, while the Jews kept their Passover on the f4th of Nissan. a festival to spring.
 Thus the older religions prepared he human hearts of later generations for faith in the resurrection of life. and Christians reasoned that if the earth sprang to blossom at the coming of the sun. the dead might arise from the grave in spring eternal with the coming of the Saviour Of men.
 The pagan and Jewisn feaets were observed about the time of the vernal equinox which was foretola by astron- omers. The Easter of the Christian ehurch being founded on an historical sgent, the arguments in the councils sesulted in its becoming a moveable feast in order to still controversy. The Gregorian calendar fixed 1t as the irst Sunday after the 21st of March, and if full moon should happen on :hat Sunday, Easter day must be the Sunday after. By this arrangement EAster does not fall on the day of the Jewish Passover, and is yet influenced Ny the Paschal moon.
 The carols of the churches were Joyous. They wove nature study and theology wisely together. as in this 1xvorite:
 Tne- world itself keeps Easter day.
 And Easter larks are singing;
 And EseteI Apwers are blooming gay.

What Racing
Cars Taught

Howard e. Cofhn designed some Of the
most famous speed cars America has pro-
duced. His sole purpose for entering his
cars in. these contests was to locate in the
gruelling grind of Glidden Tour or q 400
mile road race, weaknesses that three years
ordinary use would never indicate.
In this way he has learned faster than
would have been possible by any other
means. Tho performance Of every car was
carefully watched. Every fault was Quickly
located. II a motor had a tendency to overl
heat, IL an axle or spring developed an un-
suspected weakness Il wAs At once corrected:
Howard E. Coffin was not half 90 much
interested in the advertising obtained In q
contest as he was in discovering the weak
nesses of his cars. He wanted every car to
give the satisfaction that ordinary service
demanded. Therefore he never deceived
himself. Tho cars he entered were just like
those that were sold. set 80 ~.
Each new contest taught him something
new.
In the HUDSON "3S" is combined ali that
he has learned In these years Of careful test
ing and experimenting.
That Is how he discovered the damaging
effects Of DUST and why he has made the
HUDSON "33" a dust-proof car. He found
that the sand that is sucked through tho
radiator collects upon the delicate valve

mechanism and wears away the adjustments,
as so much emery dust would do. To over
come this in the HUDSON "39" he protects
the valves by easily removed plates. This
keeps the dust out Of the motor, deadens the
sound Of the valve action and prevents the
oil from leaking out. All wearing parts of
the Car are dust proof.
He found in these contests that the wheels
Of the ordinary car are not strong enough.
He saw how many accidents resulted from,
the collapse of the front wheels, and 30 in
the HUDSON "33" he uses ten bolts In tho
spokes where most manufacturers use only
FIVE. He found a common cause for spring
breakage and has device that will make this
trouble practically unknown. He located the
cause for body squeaks and so he made a
stronger and lighter frame for the HUDSON
"33'' than is used on any car of its weight.
In all details. Of the car you will find the
little things that assure safety, sturdiness and
therefore low maintenance cost. All nuta
are securely held In place by lock washers.
Every adjustment possible has been made
automatic. Every part that requires atten-
ton Is located where it can be reached with
out inconvenience. He designed this car so
that il IL ever became necessary to adjust OF
replace any part IL can be done without
disturbing other parts. This also cuts down
maintenance cost.

WlCKEDNESS OF FARMERS

NEW YORK, Sept. r7.-(special to The
Bee. 1.-The fearful and wicked extrava-
gance Of the farmers Of the west and south
in spending their money for automobiles
Is still causing cold shivers to run up and
down the spines of the New York F1nan-
cial world, which cannot reconcile itself to
having so much money go into Joy rides

the kind-hearted owners would let these
wickedly extravagant farmers have and
buy some more automobiles for themselves.
What right has anybody but financier
with an automobile, anyway.

In commission about as many autos as the

Directories company Of New York, shows

SENDING MOTOR CARS ABROAD
Other Countries Contribute to the
Prosperity of American
Auto Makers,

Reports on the imports and exports Of
automobiles and parts for the year ended
June 80, show heavy balance In favor Of
America, Exports of cars included 1926
valued at Sil,l9O,2O, as against l,i7s I'M
ported, valued at s., So. 40.
There was a tremendous increase in the
exports over 1909. the figures for that year
showing S.ls4 cars exported, valued at S. s92, .
800 At the same time there was falling
off in Imports 1,624 cars being imported in
1909, valued at 1886. 39l.
These figures show that while there is a
large demand for our cars abroad, the call
here for foreign machines is comparatively
small. due no doubt in great part to the
prohibitive price of imported automobiles.
although the craftsmanship OF American
makers may have some bearing on the
matter. 1....
OF the countries absorbing our cars Brit
sh North America has long held first
place, with the British Isles second, al
