THERE Is NO MYSTERY ABOUT
The DATE EASTER FALLS ON
Feast OF Easter Tide Fixed by RI!e
and II Is Easy Matter to Learn
lt-Earliest Easter on Rec
ord in 1918.

Did you know the Gay upon whicl
You are due TO appeac in your new
spring hat?
OF course SIS Lester But 90 yur
know when Easter Is?
You'd like time to look on tho
church calendar and then you can
tell?
Now that's not necessary. If YOU
have a calendar that tells when the
first fun moon after the March equi-
nox comes, you can safely say Easter
is the first Sunday after that event,
for that is the secret of the fixing OF
the mysterious Easter date. Easter
this year falls on March 81.
The March equinox comes on the
Dist Of that month. Therefore. the
earliest possible Easter would be
March %. once in the past 200 years
this has befallen. 1t was in 1918. The
moon was at fits full on March 2l,
which happened TO be Saturday. there
fore the following day was the regu-
lation Easter date.
Beginning i'm 1856. the Easter dates
have been calculated to the year 2O13,
or twelve lunar cycles. Four times
i'm that period Easter was found to be
as early as March %. Easter may
come as late as April %. as IL did i'm
1886. 1t will not come on that date
again until 1943. In 1871 it came upon
April "a. but this will not recur until
Poll. The next early Easter will he
in 1913, when It viii come on March
20.
Easter Story is interesting.
The story of Easter is interesting.
When the Latin people came march
ing into England to try their hand at
civilizing and Outstanding the mer-
~ Saxons they found they were up
against something of a problem. The
Saxons were made of stubborn stuff,
and they loved the paganistic customs
Of their ancestors and they reverenced
them. They fatty refused to have a
new festival for rejoicing at the resur-
rection of Jesus of Nazareth, OF whom
their first knowledge was then being
gained
These stalwart SaXons had, however
n fete day at about the time the
Latins had their resurrection
festival. The Saxon day was
called Oester day, meaning egg day,
and was I'm honor OF the coming of the
spring and was celebrated i'm the name
Of a certain heather goddess.
The willy Latins, when they found
that the Saxons would not concede
the native festival to the foreign, de-
cided upon combiSing the two. and
while allowing the Saxons TO cele-
brate the heather festival. to gently
lead them 10 incorporate the idea Of
the other celebration II IL. This was
done. and the name gradually became
changed 10 Easter. and finally all con-
nection Of the heather feast with the
Christian day Of rejoicing was for
gotten.
Unto this day, however, the idea Of
celebrating the day with the eating
OF eggs has continued. heritage from
religion of our forefathers.

FIRST PAPER.

Reprinted from The Boston Journal.
The legitimate purpose Of newspaper
is to give the news and express itself edi-
torially. To go beyond this weekday or
Sunday is to produce something other
than newspaper. "Cut-out" schemes for
children, comic sections for children, Iurid
feature stunts" and an endless tonnage
OF miscellany, hardly come within the
normal scope of the newspaper
Evolution plays as important a part
with us in our reading as in other mat
tiers. 1t does not follow that the news
paper of the type Of ten years ago suits
us today.
When the present type Of Sunday news
paper was developed, it was a novelty, q
surprise, a wonder. We marveled at its
very size. The variety and the tremer
dous volume of its contents, its color
printing, and the layout" Of it's pages,
with fancy types and graphic illustra-
lions. caught our fancy and held US will
ing slaves.
1t is a good deal of problem whether
the present type Of Sunday newspaper
will last am inclined to the opinion that
It will not, and base this conclusion on
the fact that the Sunday newspaper is an
illogical product It is no more news
paper than Il is a magazine, or weekly
paper, or comic paper. If we want a
newspaper, and nothing else. why should
we be compelled to buy half dozen other
publications with it?
! say half a dozen publications because
the Sunday newspaper is made up Of half
a dozen different publications. and the
purchaser is compelled 10 buy all or none.

EIGHTY-CENT GAS FOR WASH
NCTON.

The House Committee on the Dis
trict OF Columbia has concluded that
so cents per thousand cubic feet is a
fair price for gas in WASHINGTON, and
has recommended for passage a bill
fixing the rate at that figure.
The report of the committee on this
bill should carry weight with the MEM
bers OF the House because the com
mittee went to the very bottom Of the
gas situation before acting on any of
the numerous measures which were
before it for consideration. After an
investigation covering several weeks, in
which every possible scrap of evidence
an argument was uncovered, it decided
unanimously that so cents would be
just price for gas here.
When it is realized that the commit
tee knew practically all there was to
know about the Washington Gas No
nopoly, It's recommendation as TO the
proper price for gas can be accepted as
the final word in the controversy
Surely such a group of disinterested
individuals would not make the mis-
take of deciding on rate unjust to the
company, and, on the other hand,
neither would It attempt to establish
a rate that would be unjust to the
people. The committeeman examined
the evidence submitted by both SIDES
OF the case, weighed it carefully,
listened 70 the arguments of both sides,
and brought out the Cary SO-cent gas
bill 1t would be difficult, indeed, to
go behind their findings.
There is every reason to believe the
Cary bill viii pass the House at this
session. What its fate will be in the
Senate is less certain. The session is
nearing its close, and members of both
houses are getting restless, and are
anxious to get back home. This is
especially true of the members of the
lower branch, who have elections on
their hands. 1t is not at all unlikely
that when the Cary bill gets into the
Senate we will discover a tendency to
let 1t go over until next winter. There
will be a great raft Of bills before the
Senate in its closing hours, and unless
great care is exercised by the friends
OF cheaper gas the Cary bin is apt to
get lost in the shuttle.
As a matter of fact, there will be no
good excuse for the Senate District
Committee or the Senate itself to fail
to act Eighty-cent gas for Washing

as TO what their course should be cor

The unanimous report of the House

reliable guide.

of Columbia are entitled to action on

It is this idea Of drag-net journalism

WILL THERE BE ANOTHER
BOXER UPRISINGi

A grave situation exists in China.
1t is, in fact, so grave as to give rise
to the belief in many Quarters that
another Boxer uprising may be ex-
pected- Native disturbers in Marking
have assumed an openly insulting at
titude toward foreigners. The walls
of the American consulate there have
been defled- The people are being
called on in placards to rise and
slaughter the foreigners. Threats that
a revolution will be launched are
heard.
In addition to such symptoms as
these all the diplomats at Picking are
reported as thinking that an outbreak
in the provinces south of the Yangtse
Kiang is likely to occur. They do not
think it will reach Picking. The United
States minister, Mr. Calhoun, is under
stood to take a pessimistic view of
the situation.
The present disorders are not new.
They began several months ago and
became manifest first in the province
of Human, where riots occurred on &C.
count of the scarcity of the rice crop.
Later, Marking became infected with
disturbance and an anti-foreign demon
stration developed It appears that
much of theI agitation there arises
from sentiment against the present
Chinese dynasty. The real gravity OF
the situation appears to lie in the
fact that a large part of tha Chinese
population thinks the government is
overfriendly to foreigners and is giving
way to foreign influence.
1t is to be hoped that the world will
not be compelled to witness another
such spectacle as it witnessed decade
ago in the uprising that obliged the
allied armies OF the leading nations
to move on Picking to rescue diplomat:
from the besieging fanatics. But it i;
not by any means reassuring to reflect
that the feeling against the white mar
is not confined to China. 1t reaches al
the way from Egypt, through India, tt
China and japan. II it bursts into
flame among the Chinese it will not BY
any means be surprising.

RAILROAD BILL FINALLY
PASSED BY SENATE.

After many weeks of discussion the
railroad bill has finally passed the
Senate II will now be sent to con-
ference and the probabilities are that
a few weeks more will Sc i sent to
the President and signed by shim.
Pessimism has been INDUCED in as to
the prospects for effective railroad
legislation at this session of Congress,
but the measure has now reached a
point where it is extremely unlikely
that it will be sidetraeked Republican
leaders in House and Senate recognize
the political necessity. for passing a
bill before adjournment, and in the
long run there will be manifest a dis
position to do a good deal of yielding
at both ends of the Capitol rather than
fail to give the country a law TO
strengthen the authority of the Inter
state Commerce Commission over the
railroads.
1t cannot be seriously questioned
that the bill as it has passed the
Senate marks a long advance in the
methods of dealing with the railroad
problem The House bill does also
for that matter. In the end the bill
which is agreed to in conference will
doubtless be marked by numerous ex-
cellent features.
Some of the features of the Senate
bill which strengthen the hand of the
Government over the roads are those
which give the Interstate Commerce
Commission the right to initiate pro-
ceedings to determine the reasonable
ness of rates; which require the APP
prOval of the commission before a road
can charge more for a short haul than
a long one; which empower the COM
mission to suspend the proposed in
crease Of a rate pending examination;
which prevent lowering of rates to de-
stroy water competition; which place
the burden of proof on the railroads
to show the reasOnableness of recent
rate increases; and which require car
riers TO furnish written statements of
rates to shippers.
These and other features which
might be mentioned are expected to
make the interstate commerce laws
more satisfactory to shippers. On the
other hand, such features as the court
Of commerce and giving over to the At
torney General the right to control
litigation arising from orders OF the
commission are of doubtful value. IT
is to be regretted that no capitalize
ton control features were put in the
bill. 1t may be expected, however, that
such advances as have been made in
railroad legislation this session are go
ing to be followed up by others in
subsequent sessions.
1t is noteworthy that the bill i:
greatly changed from the original Ad-
ministration measure. Constant ham
mering by the insurgents has resulted
in some changes making the measure
stronger. On the whole, the debate IL
the Senate, which has lasted more thar
two months and a half, has beer
Illuminating and, able. One will search
the records of prior sessions of Con
