EASTER

II 10 Easter; the gladne's Of Easter ID
It 10 Easter, the sweetness Of Easter
has found mel
The newly leaved boughs Of the trees
are low swinging,
The birds have come back to their
homes and are singing,
The blossoms ! missed have come
back to the meadow,
Every last cloud has gone, and gone
with It its shadow!
And each grief that was crowding
about me and showing
Is gone; for my loves shall come back
to my loving.
1t is Easter; the lilies of Easter are
swayingi
And the babies, their tresses all wind
blown, are playing!
And their wee fingers fashion me gar.
lands of clover i.
II Is Easter-I grieved but my grlev.
ing is over!
For the n whom I loved, and who
left me back yonder,
Have grown nearer with Easter,
grown nearer and fonder;
And when the breeze touches the
tree-boughs low-swinging
I almost feel their loving, I almost
hear their singing.
And SO all the gladness of Easter IL
round me,
Its gladness, its love and its peace
have all found me;
To the one whom I grieved for my
arms are now nearer -
They were far and apart, now they're
nearer and deareri
And each Easter that comes brings
me near to the going
I will find them and love them. I
know they r knowing!
I count up the casters until I have
found them,
With my lips on their hair and my
arms tight around them.

HARD TO CALL THESE EGGS
Record Freaks Devised for Those Who
Were Careless About the
Expenditure.

The use Of artificial eggs made Of
sugar, chocolate, glass. etc, is Of mod
ern origin. In all large cities of Chris
tendon the cOnfectiOners' stores rival
one another in their efforts to turn out
the daintiest and most attractive
Easter eggs. Sometimes they are of
mammoth size and great cost. A few
a ago an English lord had manu-
featured by a famous c%onfectioner
a gigantic egg that was intended for
his lady love, the daughter of a mil
lionaire in South Africa. This Easter
gift was not less than three yards high
and n and one-half yards In diam
eter, 80 that a person sitting on a chair
could easily have space In the inside.
The monster was filed with no less
than 1000 pounds Of candy. An egg
intended for the Infanta Of Spain was
manufactured at Paris at a cost Of
10000 francs ($4,5OO). This costly
Easter egg was made Of white enamel,
had In the inside engraved the pas
sages of the Bible referring to Easter,
and BY means of a complicated me-
chanical continuance a bird was made
to fly out Of 1t and sing twelve airs
from well-knOwn operas.

Those who have kept Informed on
the great problems confronting the
United States army In the pursuit Of
war realize that the question of trans
pOrtatiOn Is one Of the most diff
ficult Ones. 1t was only six years ago
that the quartermaster department rec
Ognized the Importance of motor truck
transportation. and when the campaign
against Mexico was opened in 1916 the
desirability Of limiting the number Of
designs became evident.
The United States army bought its
first one and One-half-tOn truck as late
as 1913, and by 1916 it had accumu-
lated experience with but a limited
number. In that year Col. c. b. Baker,
then chief Of transportation in the
Office of the quartermaster general, in
vlted the Society Of AutOmotive En-
gineers to send representatives to
Washington to confer with army Off
GERS and representatives Of about fifty
truck builders, to cooperate in the pre-
pairing of specifications for standard
one and O%ne-half-tOn and three
ton trucks. THIS conference was held
May 8, 1916, and the specifications
were issued In June, 1916. On these
plans trucks were hurriedly purchased
for use against Francisco Villa. This
gave the army the first good chance
to test the usefulness Of motor trans
%pOrtation under trying conditions as
they existed on the Mexican border.
Designed Standard Truck.
Shortly after declaration of war on
Germany Col. Bakers staff entertained
hopes of having a completely stand
ardized military truck. They pro-
ceeded to have new drawings and
specifications made, including all the
suggestions and experiences recorded
60 that date. A number of members
of the S. A. II. were asked to assist in
the design of the new truck and they
