LETTERS TO EDITOR
Sabbath and the Lords Day

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Whatever objections there may be to opening your moving picture shows on Sunday, that which makes it breach of the Sabbath is utterly wrong. It Is a gross confusion of ideas and facts which makes Sunday and the Sabbath day iden- tical. As well confound Easter and Christmas or Easter and Good Friday There is not a shread of evidence either in the New Testament or early ecclesi- astical history showing that they were identical, or were regarded so. We read of the apostles meeting to break bread on the, Lords Day. in many places, but not one word that the Sabbath was changed to the Lords Day. And not until quite recently, by the Scotch Pres byterlans, I think, were they claimed to be Identical. 'Tis especially contrary to the history of their own Scotch church.
 Just when your issue of Saturday last reached me with the Rev. L. F. Whitten' s letter on this subject, I was reading Adamnan's account of the death of Columbkille, the great abbot of Iona in Scotland, who is universally conceded to be one of the worlds best and greatest men. It was he and his followers who spread Christianity and the knowledge of letters into Britain. France, Germany. Burgundy, Switzerland and Lombardy during the dark ages.'' succeeding the destruction of the Roman empire. AL though Pope Gregory the Great sent Augustine to England. 'tis a fact that by far the most of the work was done by the monks from Iona and Ireland, and Adamnan's life of Columbkille incidental ly sheds a bright light on this subject as 1t stood 1900 years ago. l may say here that this account is considered by all authorities to be as authentic as the very gospels themselves. Adamnan says: "On the last day therefrom of this week. that Is on the Sabbath day" And he makes Saint Columbkille say: This day in the sacred volume called the Sabbath, which is interpreted rest and today is verify Sabbath for me- Later along on same evening Adamnan tells: ''The saint goes to church to be present at a vesper service of the Lords Day eve." etc. This happened on the Sth and 9th of June. A. D. 6S7. and is conclusive evidence of how those people looked upon the Sab- bath and the Lords Day.
 To my mind the, real objection to nov ing picture shows on Sunday or any other day is that their teaching is not always wholesome. saw some recently that left a bad taste in my mouth, and Mir. Barber would do well to see that they don't teach evil lessons for they are very efficient teachers. Respectfully.

 Subsequently, the sacred white and black sake wine were presented to the Enl- peror and then to all the members of the imperial family. dignitaries. foreign representatives and other guests, to be crunk as Q toast to the imperial house. while presents from the Yuki and Suki and 6uki districts were brought in by court officials to the garden of the hall and arrayed on the floor. Food and other sake wine were then presented to the Em- peror by a chamberlain and distributed among the guests by the attendants.
 The entertainment of old Japan was started by the performance of the 'kume'' dance, which is more than 20 centuries old. This dance dates back to the be- ginning of the reign of Emperor Jimmu. founder and first head of the Japanese empire, who, while engaged in his prilni- tive expedition against the aboriginal na- tives in the main island. caused feast to be given to his soldiers in the camp end personally composed song to be sung to encourage the rank and file. After the feast his army routed the eri- emy in desperate engagement. History further holds that at the time of the paiio-5af ceremony which was held in inc first year of Jolkan, 1056 years ago. the kume was performed by 20 dancers in the ancient court costume with drawn swords In their hands.
 They were accompanied only by the koto. and no song was sung. At the Daijo-Sai ceremony in the first year of Bunsei s7 years ago. the ancient song was revived. but not for long. Thirty seven years ago the song was again re- yived at the desire of the late Emperor Mutsuhito.

Northeastern Oil
House Threatened
in Blaze on Yards
FIREMEN SUCCEED IN COMBINING
FLAMES TO JUNk-HoUSE,
HOWEVER,.

What might have resulted in dis
astrous fire on the New Orleans and
Northeastern yards was prevented
last night when the ftremen were
able to confine the blaze which partly
consumed a small building filled with
junk and off material, to that struc-
ture.
The fire was discovered in a build
ing near the oil house of the North
eastern. Once this building is attack
ed by fire, chances for saving it would
be slim.
The call came at $50 o'clock. The
blaze had gained much headway BY
the time the companies arrived. Th'
automobile pumper was put to work
and the place was literally flooded witt
several streams of water. The roo
of the structure was burned, and tn
fire damaged other parts of the built
ing. There was but little on the IL
side, however, to become ignited.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

EAGLE LAKE MAN MAKES IT I'M
POSSIBLE TO DROWN HIS
FooD.cETTER.

Here's a worse one coming from
Joe Lochowitz, the Eagle Lake man
who the other day caught crowd Of
skunks stealing the gasoline from his
car to be used as perfume.
Joe and his friends, including Grab,
his pet hawk, are living high these
days. Grab has developed into the
best fisherman on the lake.
Folks living near Eagle Lake have
been bothered for years by the gar
fish eating their ducks. Every time
the ducks went for a swim on Eagle
Lake the gars either bit their legs
off or pulled them under the water
and drowned them. Joe vowed ven
geance.
/ Last summer he shot young
hawk, wounding it. He carried II
home and tried to tame 1t. He sue
ceeded in part, but the hawk seized
every animal that came near him ex
cept Joe. He can't fly because wing
is crippled, but he certainly can faster
his talons into dog and hang on
hence his name, Grab.
This spring Joe had an idea. HI
kept feeding fish to Grab who becam
very fond of them. Then he got tw
of those long rubber squealers tn
kids use, blew them up, tied them S
the air could not escape, fastene
them under Grabs wings and rowe
out onto Eagle Lage.
] He dropped Grab into the water.
!. The hawk didn't like 1t as first, bu
: pretty soon found the bladders hel
{ him up and went floating around
. Along came big gar and made
S snatch at Grabs legs. He probabl
e was the most surprised fish in th
l. world. Grab got him right by th
l. jaw and hung on. until Joe lifted th
e pickerel into the boat.

London, April 16.-Another Zeppe-
lin raid was made on England today
by feet of the Kaiser's aircraft.
The Zeppelins came from the north,
unheralded, to within 80 miles of Lon
don. They dropped several bombs IN
Kent. No damage was reported, how
ever.
This followed the attacks on the
coast by zeppelins last night.
Dispatches from Hollond today
state there is pronounced activities ct
the German naval bases at Emden
and Cuxhaven. Count Zeppelin is ~
ported to be directing the operations
at Cruxhaven.
An urgent call has been given out IN
London for special police to go On
duty at o'clock this afternoon to
guard against further attacks.
The operations in Kent constituted
the first daylight attack to be made
on England.
ACTIVE operations are being under
taken over an increasingly wide sec
tion on the eastern and western
fronts. Paris official reports tell Of
the resumption of hostilities on north
ern France.
In the east, the Russians have
taken up the attack along the Warsaw
front after the long winter lull. They
claim to have captured town within
30 miles of Warsaw.
Hollond is deeply stirred by the
sinking of the Dutch steamer Katwyh
bearing cargo Of wheat consigned to
the Dutch government The vessel
was sent to the bottom, presumably
by German submarine.
