We didn't have any tou in quiet

g. We didn't know what it was to
soht coottcs and the Fritzies at he
same time. We didn't ven know
what shell fire sounded like or looked

like the real thing. We were still
coming along in Franc from one Dill
LET in q little town to another when
fhe Germans reached the Marine.
Then one day they loaded us up IN
trucks n hustled us along crowded
roads-TO THE FRONTt
l don't sec how those drivers got
us through 30 fast. The roads were
1ammcd both ways with all kinds OF
autos coming and going, and all on
important business. Going forward
there would be trucks loaded with
men. shells or food, and then maybe
detachments going along on foot;
tanks crawling along; horses or
mules pulling guns up to the front;
coming back would be empty trucks
going for more supplies; ambulance
taking wounded men back to h base
hospitals and messengers hustlirs
back to general headquarters on
motorcycles.
It was a regular show for us, be
cause It was all new.
But with this exception and until
we got where the Germans had been,
It was hard to believe there was a
war. The little towns had their little
tovE life and you would see old peo-
pie out on the farms hard at work,
or children tending TO the cows. Ana.

would take time to pull wild flowers
and give them to us as we passed.

Just about three miles from the
Frerch third line trenches. That is
whore for tho first time we heard the
roar ef the big shells. the whine Of
the eh-apnel n the put-put OF the
machine guns. Two big shells drop
ped rear us the day before we went

cleared away. our crowd went over to

Romans, as well as the Teutonic tribes
Of Gaul. The Persians made it repre-
sent the triumph of the Sun of Nature
and used it as their New Year cele-
bration. They believed that the world
was Matched from an egg at the vernal
equinox. Hindus, many Eastern peo-
pies, and Romans, had it typify the
universe, the work of the Supreme De-
ity; the Teutonic tribes used it at
their celebration in honor of Ostara-
really Ashtorath, the Egyptian Cod
,dess of the Moon-whom they called
Goddess of Spring, and from whom we
get the name now applied to our feast.
Our use of it is that of a symbol for
a symbolic idea.
The egg, at all times a symbol,
serves a three-fold purpose-food,
plaything, and gift. Everywhere the
prescribed manner of use is to boil it
hard in some non-poisonous stain, pref,
erably red, the color Of Christ's blood

scapes or symbols of the resurrection.
Accounts of the use of Easter eggs
made interesting many pages of re-
iligiouS history.
Italian Easter Customs.
Emilianne gives the following de-
scription of an italian practice: "On
Easter eve and Easter day all the
heads of families send great chargers
full of h%ard-boiled eggs to the church,
to get them blessed, which the priests
perform by making several appointed
prayers and making great signs of
the cross over them, and sprinkling
them with holy water. These blessed
eggs have the virtue of sanctifying the
entrails of the body and are the first
fat or f1eshy nourishment they take
after the abstinence of Lent. AS oon
as the eggs are blessed everyone car
ries his portion home and causeth a
large table to be set in the best room
in the house, which they cover with
their best linen bestrewn with flow
ers, and place round about it a dozen
dishes of meat and the great charger
of eggs in the midst. TITS a very pleas
ant sight to see the tables set forth in
the houses of great persons, when they
expose ON the side tables round about
the chamber all the plate they have In
the house and whatever else they have
that is rich and curious, in honor Of
the Easter feast"
In the roll of expenses for the royal
household of King Edward ], there oc-
ours this item for a certain Easter
Sunday: "Four hundred and a half
eggs, IS pence. These were stained
in boiling or covered with gold leaf and
afterwards distributed to the royal
household"
In early days all Christians greeted
each other at the Easter time with
the words "Surrexit" (Christ has ris-
en) and the response, "Surrexit
we're" (Christ has, indeed. risen).
Even now in Russia, where Easter is
set apart as a time for paying visits
as well as for going to church, friends
greet each other with the old form
of salutation, the kiss of peace, and
a gift of hard-boiled egg.
Easter Hare Everywhere.
Everywhere along with the candy
and hard-boiled eggs in con~fectioners'
windows we see the rabbit, OF more
correctly, the hare. He trundles
q wheelbarrow filed with eggs, or else
drags a single egg. Children are told
hares lay Easter eggs and are sent to
the fields to look for them. They are
also told that "babies'' come in the
form of hares. The hare, the same
as the rabbit, in symbolism is, in fact,
"the type of the moon itself across
whose disk endless numbers of Hindus
have painted the little animal" "Buhh-
ha took the shape of the hare that he
might feed his hungry fellow creatures
and was translated into the form Of
the moon and in that form eyermore
abides."
Indian mythology says Indra, dis
guised as a famished pilgrim, was
praying for food when the hare, hav-
ing nothing but himself to give, threw
himself into the fire that he might be
roasted for his benefit. Out Of graf
itude Indra translated him to the
moon. ~,Ss,gat, IN y.s.u ssIeal Is HSl$ st@A

ideas in common with it have been

Egg and Hare Have Always Been
Connected-Feast of Resur-

By MARY RICHARDS CRAZY

(By MARY GRAY.1
~ o YOU ever wonder why we
use the egg and the hare as
symbols of Easter? Why we
connect the two? They are
symbols as old as man himself. East
er, apparently a solar festival con-
nected with the equinox, is in reality
a moo festival. The hare is the SYM
Dol of the moon, the measurer of
time, and the egg with its buried germ
represents the revival of life. In the
mythology and religion of the most an
,cient peoples both are used. Mod
-ern people have joined them in curious
fashion.
Our Feast of the Resurrection is a
mingling of the many feasts of many
peoples. It had it's direct origin in the
Festival of the Jewish Passover which
christians continued to observe ac-
cording to established traditions. At
an appointed time in a certain lunar
month the Lord commanded the Jews
to make prescribed sacrifices and to
eat certain foods-roast lamb, unleav-
ened bread, and bitter herbs-saying,
cit is the sacrifice of the Lords Pass
over, who passed over the houses Of
the children of Israel in Egypt when
he smote the Egyptians and delivered
our houses" Later "to suit the cir
cumstance of their history as a type of
their departure from the land of Egypt
the g was made a part of the fur
nishing of the table with the Paschal
Lamb"
Celebrating the Passover.
Through the centuries the fundamen-
tai ideas of why and when to cele-
brate the Passover have not changed.
AS a moon festival we still give thanks
for salvation through rebirth. In de-
termining the time Of the festival the
Jews and the eastern church follow
the old lunar reckoning which some
times brings it before the vernal equi-
nox. The western church, though it
adopted the sun reckonings-the Gregg
rian correction of the calendar-for
other things yet clings to a moon reck-
oning for Easter and makes it "the
first Sunday after the full moon which
happens upon or next after the Dist
of March. If the full moon comes on
Sunday, Easter is the next Sunday
thereafter" This fixes the date be-
tween the 22nd of March and the 25th
of April. Twice in the nineteenth
century Jews and Christians cele-
brated on the same day and three
times during this century the dates
will coincide. That the holiday pc

WIDOW SUES RUTLAND R. R.
Lost Husband in Explosion of Engine
Last January

Lost Husband in Explosion of Engine
Last January
The explosion of the boiler OF an en-
CINE drawing the southbound night eX-
press on the Rutland Railroad, near
Beldens station January %, is recalled
by a suit for $4,000 which Flora A.
McAuley has begun against the Rut-
land Railroad. Mrs. McAuley, who
was Flora Baldwin of Whiting, is the
widow of Nobert McAuley, engineer,
who was killed in the explosion. She
and her only daughter now reside in
Rutland, where she has brought the suit
in the Federal Court.
McAuley, who was the son of Fred
McAuley, a New Haven farmer, is al
legged by the widow to have met his
death as a result of negligence on the
part of the railroad company.
1t is claimed that the road was ne
glectful in not keeping sufficient water
in the boiler of the locomotive, on which
McAuley was employed, to operate it
properly. This omission causing the
boiler to blow up 1t is also alleged
that the officers of the railroad COM
pany were negligent in permitting Mr..
McAuley to work on an engine which
was defective and that they failed to
warn him of his danger.
The case goes into the federal court
on the allegation that Mr.. McAuley
was engaged in interstate commerce,
the road on which he worked running
between New York, Vermont and Can
ada The case is returnable at the May
term of court at Windsor.
