The Judiciary committee Of the

things 1t Is not doing. For nine weeks

WHY DO YOU :APRIL-FOO
Legend Gives One Answer, History Another

The seeker for information about
April Fools day and its origin is like
ly TO be finely April-Fooled himself.
as history and legend offer different
reasons for the practice Of fooling
our friends on April First.
Legend traces April fools day back
to the early miracle plays which rep
resented Christ as being sent In mock
cry from Annas to Caiaphas for trial:
the day Is also said to be a survival
of the Feast of Fools celebrated by
the early Romans.
History points to the changes made
In the lunar calendar by Pope Greg
DRY In the sixteenth century as the
reason for the nonsensical antics
practiced on April /. The Gregorian
calendar set New Years day back
from April to Jan. l, same as 1t had

The Secret of Long Life

Celebrating her one hundred and
second birthday down In Philadelphia
a few days ago. Aunt Mary Bender,
with hair not yet wholly gray, and
with strength enough to do her share
of the work, told how to keep young
In spite Of time.
"Just take care of yourself and ma
ture will do the rest. Early to bed
and early to rise. Be careful what
you eat. Look on the bright side OF
things and-keep busy"
Aunt Mary ought to know. Her
grandad lived to be 104, and both Of
her parents crowded the century
mark.
Keep busy" There you have the
big end OF the recipe. OF course, you
must also try to keep healthy--that
IL. you mustn't wilfully abuse the body
God gave you.
But to keep busy, to keep interested
in congenial and useful service, Is the
main thing. Idleness kills. Fretting
kills. Grinding on sand In the ma
chinery kills. But wholesome, inter.
esting, well-varied work-that never
kills.

We are pleased to congratulate the

We are pleased to congratulate the
representative men and women of
Color upon the splendid recognition
being given us by the Republican Par
ty through the State and County
Chairmen the Hon. Phillip B. Stewart
and George Steele. Much work on
the part Of some of our best men had
to be exsrted to convince them of
the necessity of a permanent organ
ization, and they finally gave recogni-
ton to our representatives on each
of the executive committees. Not only
that but they have provided for
headquarters and have already put
nearly so people to work at wages
ranging from SO to IS per day.
Complaint has been made to us that
some of the big Negroes" when hired
to do canvassing work at certain
wage per day (for 8 hours) were
found home making pies; doing wash
ing, some down shopping; yet drew
their days pay. The Star is against
this sort of practice and has pledged
itself to publish the names of those
who "shirk" this time. There are too
many good honest people who will
give value received for the chance to
work. Let US all be fair nd honest
and deliver the goods" because much
in the future depends upon our activ
ity and success. We thank the broad
hearted chairmen for their recogni-
ton and kindness.
