Facts About Easter.

Easter is always the first Sunday
after the first full moon after the Goth
of March.
The day for the observance of East
err in.England was fixed by ST. Austin
in 597 A. D.
Easter Island was SC, called because
it was discovered by Roggeveen on
Easter day, 1772.
The latest Easter in this country
will occur in the year 1913, on the
25th of April.
The festival of Easter is now OBJ
served by the Greek, Roman, Angeli-
can and Lutheran communions.
Only once during the last century,
in 1918, did Easter fall on March %,
the earliest possible date.
II was long belief in Ireland and
in certain parts of England that the
sun actually danced on Easter day.
The earliest date for Easter is March
p, but it will not occur on this date
during any year of the twentieth CEN
fury.
The use Of eggs in connection with
the celebration OF Easter is of the high
est antiquity, the egg having been
considered in mythology as symbol
/ OF resurrection
Y In the northern counties of England
the men parade the streets on Easter
Sunday, and claim the privilege oil
lifting every woman three times from
the ground, receiving in payment 9
kiss or silver sixpence.
II was debated, at the time of the
introduction of the Georgian calendar,
whether Easter should continue to bt
a movable feast or whether a fxeC
Sunday after the Dist of March should
not be adopted.

Romance Eclipsed.

How a sausage balloon-captive
over trenches for purposes OF obser-
vation-was cut adrift by shell
striking its cable, has been told in the
|cablegrams. A letter to the Associat-
ed Press bya correspondent in France
gives the personal narrative of the
officer whose miraculous escape was
mentioned briefly in the cabled news:

brains to avoid falling into thR, hands

was tied around my body was sixty

MADE

Essex and Kent Visited by
Airships Tuesday---Cr
ers Shell Lowestoft.

LONDON, ApIh 20 7iipouiC ''i 20
raided the counties of Essex and Kent
Tuesday night, according to an official
statement The number Of raiders is
uncertain. The communication adds,
''but they did not exceed four. The
raiders were met by brisk anti-air-
craft gunfre and retreated after
achieving little or nothing"
London. April IS. The following
official announcement was made on
the naval raid this morning:
eat about 4:3O o'clock this morning
the German cruiser squadron, ac-
companied by light cruisers and de-
stroyers, appeared off Lowestoft.
The local naval forces engaged it and
in about twenty minutes it returned
to Germany, chased by our light
cruisers and destroyers.
"On shore two men, one woman
and a child were killed. The material
damage seems to have been insignii-
cant, so far as is known at present
Two British light cruisers and a de-
stroyer we're hit, but none was sunk. "
On previous occasions attacks have
been made on the English coast dur
inc the war by German warships.
The most important raid was made
Dec. Is, 1914. The towns Of Scar
borough, Whitby and Hartlepool,
about $50 miles north of Lowest0ft,
were bombarded and 1870 persons
were killed. Aided by fog the Ger
man vessels escaped
On Jan. "a, 1915, further attempt
of the kind was made but the German
squadron was met off Doggerbank by
the British battle cruiser squadron
under Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty.
On being sighted the Germans made
for home at high speed. Their rear
ship, the Bluecher, was sunk and two
other cruisers were set on fire and
damaged severely. The British flag
ship Lion was disabled by shot in
one of her feed tanks and was towed
home.
The first German naval raid on the
British coast was made-on Nov. 3,
1914 Three battle cruisers, the
Seydlitz, Moltke and Won Der Tam,
the armored cruisers Bluecher and
Yorick and the protected cruisers
Kolberg, Graudense and Strassburg,
left port on the evening of Nov. 2 and
at dawn appeared off Yarmouth.
They bombarded Yarmouth and
Lowestoft for about 20 minutes and
then returned. A British submarine
the Dis, attempted to pursue the
Germans, but struck mine and sank.
The Yorick also struck a mine and
went down with 800 men.
The raid on Hartlepool, Scarborough
and Whitby was the most important
of these ventures. The German
cruisers poured hail of shells into
the towns for an hour and half and
in addition TO the large number killed,
200 or more persons were wounded.
News of the raid produced the great
est excitement in England where ii
was thought for time that an at
tempt at an invasion of the country
might be under way.
Lowestoft, now raided for the Sec
ond time by warships, is the most
easterly town in England, an impor.
tant fishing station and a fashionable
seashore resort. Its population is
about 10000. This town has been at
tackled on several occasions by Ger
man aircraft.

succeeds, and it's the only way a public

have regard for the honor and integrity

to his ability. A man may be ever so
good and so innocent and yet make a very
poor treasurer, because he would have
to hire his work done and some shrewd
clerk could so badly mix accounts that in
the end heavy loss would be placed up
on the shoulders of the people.

work in the office of the county treasurer
has made him fully competent to handle

Cannot Aree With Rust

To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
1 have read. quite interestedly, Mr..
Rust's letter to The Age-Herald this
morning, and it Is certainly gratifying to
know that we have such a patriot in our
midst. For my part, the prospect of Mr..
Rust paying money into the treasury of
picture, but not so much so as to induce
me to follow his example. AS he intends.
apparently, to pay whatever tax the city
chooses to impose upon him. no doubt he
will always keep out of trouble and never
be required to put in three days on the
pavement. and perhaps there will be some
few who will follow his example. but 1
believe the writer will be with the ma
jcrity in refusing to contribute.
OF course. government is a good thing
in fact, a necessity, but what is the use
OF a city administration that Is COM
PEELED to gouge the citizens for it's own
support?
AS to the IS admission fee to Birming-
ham, unless some real good citizen like
Mr.. Rust will come in and defray the
expenses of newcomers I am afraid the
city's population is going to remain as II
is at present, If there is no decrease

fee to the Magic City.
Mr.. Rust is quite right about one thing;
the tax ought to include those over 45-
so that we could get street tax out of

fortunate as to pass that age.
