SURE DEATH TRAP
FOR COCKROACHES
Department of Agriculture Suggests
Plan for Getting Rid of
the Insects.

With the approach OF warm spring
weather cockroaches multiply rapidly and
leave their winter hiding places. II cock
reaches are troublesome in the house. the
following simple remedy recommended by
one of the Department Of Agricultsre's s
scientists unquestionably will destroy
many of the pests and keep them in
check as effectively as troublesome insect
powders and dangerous poisons:
Mix one part of plaster of paris and
three or four parts of -four. Place this
dry mixture in a saucer or on a fat piece
of wood or tin where reaches are numcr-
Gus. Nearby place another fat plate con-
tanning pure water. Supply a few in
clines of wood or cardboard from the
floor to the edge OF the plate or saucer
to give easy access Float one or two
thin pieces of wood on the water so that
they will touch the edge of the dish. The
insects readily cat the plaster mixture.
become thirsty. and drink. The water
makes the plaster set in the intestines
and kills the roach. Such traps may he
placed in pantries. and bakeries in par
ticular, with good results

The Narrative.

For today's lesson we have moved out
of the sequence in order to the celebra-
ton Of Easter-tide. The narrative OF the
tourney to Emmaus is ono Of the most
beautiful of the post-resurreCtion stories.
II is at once so simple and so clear that
very little more is needed than the care
full reading of it to gather its beauty. and
realize its value.
Luke tells us that two of them were
going to Emmaus on the very day OF res
direction. Presently he names one OF
them, Cleopas The name is not the
same as that of Clopas mentioned by
John as the husband of Mary. the sister
of the Mother OF Jesus. II is possible II
was the same person. but by no means
certain. The other is not named at all
These two walked together from Jerusa-
lem to Emmaus, a distance OF about
seven and a half miles. The first part OF
the journey, they walked and talked to-
gether. Somewhere on the way they
were Joined by a stranger, who asked
them the nature OF their communications.

not know the things that had been hap

beauty. They spoke Of Jesus Of NaZa-t tn,

is said to have gone to her father and
asked II some of the children could not
come in and play.
General Grant, the story runs, was
touched by the child's appeal and prom
ised her that the next day-Easter Mon
day-all the children in Washington
could come in and play with her. Thai
night by various means he invited al
the small children Of the city to brins
their Easter eggs on Monday morning
and roll them on the lawn In the White
House grounds. The children came, the
story goes. quite a large number of them,
and on that day the custom was born,
II is said. which has been perpetuated to
the present time.
To the south Of the White House are
two small knoIls. Here, on each Easter
Monday, the children of Washington
come with their Easter eggs and roll
them down the hill until they are crack
ed or broken. Persons are allowed to
come with the children, but adults are
required to have a child as a passport
to gain admittance to the grounds on that
day.
Col. Crook Can't Remember.
Col. Crook, at the White House. can
not remember when the custom started,
although he has been at the Executive
Mansion since the latter part of the Lin
coin administration. 1t is possible that
the first egg rolling" on the White House
lawn attached little importance to it
self. as the President was not so i'm
portant a man as he is today.
Nellie Grant was a young child when
her father first moved into the White
House and she was married during his
second term. This fact certainly lends
probability TO the story.
At the office of the public buildings
and grounds. the egg rolling is q mat
ter for official action. Shortly before
each Eastertide, the custom is called to
the attention of the President and his
consent is gained. Then comes a formal
statement from the army officer in
charge of the bureau and the Washing
ton newspapers get little official notices.
setting forth the nature of the custom
and the hours when children will be
admitted to the grounds. OF late years.
it has been the custom to have a portion
Of the Marine Band come to the White
House grounds after the egg rolling
and give an hours concert for the bene-
fit of the "grown-ups" who came along
to watch over the children.
They Eat the Eggs.
Each Easter time brings its annual at

an orgy of hard-boiled eggs on the White

Promptly at 2 o'clock Monday morn
ing the gates Of the south grounds of
the White House, across the street from
the south end of the Treasury Building,
will swing open and a gay riot of chill
dren will pour through. From'9 o'clock
in the morning until o'clock in the aft
ernoon there will be rolling and chas-

knolls in the grounds. and when the

favorable for success in every way. Elias
Breeckin. the young violin genius, whom
Mr. Kenesee pronounces the coming
American violinist. has consented to come
down from New York and play the won
derful G minor concerto by Bruch. Eliza

suits her very lovely voice. The second

will be heard for the first time.

Society, Otto Torney Simon director, will

Wednesday afternoon, April Il, at i:5O

ness, but soon lapsing into a gloomy and
forbiddinC theology. The transition 10

with words by Edgar Allen Poe, evokes

anostrophe to the idyllic beauty of far

The concerts of the Motet Choral So
ciety have become a recognized factor In
the art life OF Washington. Artistically'
they stand for the presentation of new
school of choral singing which strives for
repression and beauty of tone, rather
than intensity. II its work is commen-
surate with its ideals, the Motet Choral
Society should be considered as a munich
pal asset, and should be supported by
those who are glad to add to the enrich
ment of life through the media of pure
art.
The subdued lighting effects of the Mo-
tst concerts are made for the purpose OF
creating a greater degree Of receptive
ness in the listener for the spirit of the
music.

NOTES OF THE SCHOOLS.

The benefit and pleasure of a real
spring vacation is something which the
many thousands of public school pupils
have enjoyed for the past decade. While
Gen. Harries was president of the Boaru
or Education the ten days vacation now
In vogue was chanced upon by closing the
schools out of respect to the death of a
prominent man. Teachers and pupils re-
turned to their school duties in better
shape for the remainder of the year.
which led the Board of Education to pass
law making the spring vacation a per-
manency.
