THIS IS MAY DAY, FEAST OF NATURE
WORSI7IPERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

Today is the first of May, known
throughout the world as May Day
Bright sunshine and the air of
spring contributed to make the de
but of this delightful month most aus
ricious.
May in Santa Fe usually marks the
teginning of series of picnics and to-
day the pupils of st. GATHERINGS In
dian school, it is said, have started the
picnic program with an outing.
Other picnics will follow throughout
the season, the Santa Fe canon being
one of the favorite spots for this pleas
ing pastimeI
May Day has been an important
period in the religion of 'nature-wor-
ship" Even today, in Servia, Rou-
ailit and Bulgaria, where the Balkan
allies have been stirring up the war
gods, the gentle feast holds sway.
Groups of gypsy children wreathe
their heads and waists with leaf
twigs, and led by older girls or by
women, they go from house to house
dancing and singing to give vent to
their joy.
Among the Transylvanian and also

IN this day when the Turkey Trot
and the Tango, the Raglan Rag and
the Bunny Hug dances are SO much
discussed, denounced and emulated. it
Is easy to understand that dancing
around a Maypole should lose favor,
even on the auspicious opening of the
month of May But without these
irolcs, the day may be observed in 4
Detitting manner and picnic IN some
quiet, shaded spot up the canon, with
the music of the ripping stream TO
greet ones ear and the glimpse of a
tleeting blue bird to tickle ones eye,
seems to satisfy the May Day sense.
All humans rejoice today because
they feel the gentle touch of spring;
even the horses snort with delight for
he alfalfa looks green and the young
blades of grass suggest juicy morse,
All humans rejoice-all, save the
married men who feel in their bones
that house cleaning is nigh These
are the mortals who dread the name
of "May," and who today vow to hike
to the country far from the noise of
carpet-beating, and the fuss which
marks the preparation of the home
for "the good old summer time"

the Roumanian gypsies the spirit OF
vegetation is also represented by a
boy who is called Green George" A
similar custom is observed by the
peasants of Rhenish Bavaria and OF
Ain, France.
IN ENGLAND.
But over in England, the chimney
sweepers for many decades have ex.
changed their coat of SCOT for one of
green, choosing one of their number
as Jack in the Green or the Bush
carrier to lead them in their May day
ceremony. This curious ceremony
was celebrated at CEeltenham as late
as 1892.
In some places it is the custom to
carry doll decked with leaves,
known as the May Coll or else
branch known as the May Bough
instead of personally enacting spring,
THE MAYPoLE.
There was another festival, perhaps
more familiar to Americans, and that
is the custom of dancing around tree
or "Maypole' on the first of May
which was finally abandoned in Scot
land before it lost favor in England.

which he said that two emissaries he
sent from Mexico City to Governor
Carranza were not to offer an alliance
but to counsel Carranza to make
peace, drew the following reply to-
day from the "state department" of
the constitutionalists at Piedras Ne
gras:
"Diaz offered to put himself en-
tirely at the disposition of Carranza
in every way and to carry out any Or
ders given him." stated the Carranza
reply.
His offer to obey Carranza in all
things was as complete as possible.
Carranza absolutely refused to enter
tain the offer to treat with them in
any way and ordered the emissaries
to leave the country at once, which
they did
These emissaries were Miguel Con
