Inquiry as to the literary reactions
of the American people in the year
following the armistice runs against
an after-effect of the recent strike OF
printers and preSSmen. Book produce
ton in this country in 1919 as com
pared with that of 1918 actually fell
off to the extent of CAB volumes, &C
cording to the complications of the
Publishers Weekly. The total num-
Der of books brought out for the year
was 1894 In England in 1919 there
were 1922 volumes issued, against
7,716 in 1918.
In view of the increased interest
in spiritual matters created by the
| war, it is worth while to note the
| curious coincidence by which, for each
| of the two years just passed, the
number of books of religion printed IN
the United States is recorded as 695.
A different story is told in fiction, an
| increase of 116 volumes in this depart
| ment-the new number is 904-shOW-
ing the popular mind in search OF dl-
version. More seriously significant
for 1919 was the offering of SIG books
on sociology and economics, an in
crease of 125 over 1918.
| Books of history fell to 812 volumes
in 1919, loss of 10. All this despite
the inclusion of new soldiers tales o.

One Of the first things Georges Car
pentier did on arriving at the French
line dock on the liner Savoie was to
signify his intention of sampling Amer
lean education. Michael s. Hogan,
knights of Columbus supervisor, met
Carpenter on the ship and registered
him as a student of the K. of c. school
system for former service men. Car
pentier gave information for the fill
ing of the card, selecting English as
his course. He gave his profession as
pugilism and, under the head Of ''em-
ployer" stated, "American public
Carpenter participated IN two or
three &c boxing exhibitions for the
A. z. F. in France and the Knights,
by way Of reciprocity, will give him

also accepted the invitation, rendered
by Supervisor Hogan, to officiate at
the great X. of c. indoor athletic meet
to be held in the 22nd Regiment Arm

FACTS ABOUT EASTER
1T ANSWERS TO THE PASSOVER
OF THE HEBREWS-WHY THIS
DAY is A MOVABLE INSTEAD OF
FIXED FEAST.

In the Christian Church Easter day
is festival observed in commemora,
ton of the resurrection of Jesus
Christ, occurring on Sunday the third
day after His crucifXion Good Fri
day., and ending the penitential forty
days of Lent, which begin on Ash
Wednesday. 1t answers to Pasch or
Passover of the Hebrews, and many
nations still give it this name.
The Passover is a feast of the Jews
commemorating their escape from
Egypt, when God, shifting the first
born of the Egyptians, passed over
the houses of the Israelites which
were marked with the blood of the
paschal lamb. Our ancient ancestors
celebrated this festival in April OF
each year, which was called "Eoster
monath." Some authorities record
Christ's Resurrection as having taken
place on April 8, 80 A. D.
Every year about this time the
question arises with many why at the
beginning of the Christian era Easter
had not been make fixed instead
of ''movable' feast and set for about
the second Sunday in April and thus
have all feasts and fasts of the Church
occur on definite dates governed there
by. A plan of this nature has been
suggested and a table compiled show
ing it's feasibility, but to date nothing
has been definitely adopted. Many
contend that to do so would mean to
destroy the symbolic beauty of both
the Christian and Jewish idea in ref
erence to the full moon by which it
was originally governed.
Easter day, on which the rest de-
pend, is always the first Sunday after
the full moon which happens upon or
next after March 81 and if the full
moon happens to fall upon Sunday
(the 21sD Easter day is tie Sunday
after.
Another interesting fact is that the
actual number of days during the
Lenten season from Ash Wednesday
to Easter day is forty-seven, but the
Church does not include the seven
Sundays during that period as part
of the penitential season. Many term
them little Easters,' or feast instead
of fast days.

FRENCH PRESIDENT
FELL FROM TRAIN

dow of his train when it was
short distance from here last night.
The train was moving at the time,
but after his fall NJ. Deschanel
walked a mile and a quarter in the
darkness until he met a track
worker.
The workmen accompanied the
president to a signal station nearby
and telephoned to this city for an
automobile which arrived within
half an hour.
When he approached the track
worker, the injured man said:

and fell out of it while it was NOV

more, however, is the fact l am NJ.

Deschanel, upon his arrival here,
received first medical attention
some three hours after the acci.

President Deschanel explained
that he had been unable to sleep in
his compartment of the private car
in which he was travelling, because
of the heat, and that about II O.
clock last night, shortly after the
train had pulled out of Montargis,
he tried to open window to Sc

EXPENDITURES IN
CAMPAIGN OF WOOD

Washington, May 24.-No evil
dence of extraordinary expendi-
lures was adduced at the opening
today of the senate's investigation
into presidential preconvention
campaign expenses and contribu-
tions.
The largest outlay specifically
testified to war $4,000, which
Frank H. Hitchcock, one of Major
General Leonard Woods managers,
said had been sent into New Jersey
by the Wood reorganization. Angus
McSween, eastern manager for
Senator Johnson of California,
said his candidates sent S13,207 in
to that state.
Mr.. Hitchcock told the committee
he could throw little light on Gen.
eral Woods campaign finances and
he was not asked as to contribu-
tions. Mr.. McSween however, testi-
fed that the total contributions to
Johnson's national organization was
-GS,l3S, while expenditures had
totalled $72,23O.
Both Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.. Nc
Swean said state organizations had
gathered their own funds in many
instances, this being true in Michi-
gan, and other states.
Dr.. Ralph j. Hersey, manager
for Senator Sutherland, of West
Virginia, described in detail the
Wood campaign in, that state, de-
claring that the generals ''inva-

FURMAN WINS
CHAMPIONSHIP OF
STATE IN BASEBALL

After tieing for the champion
ship in football the past season, the
Furman Hornets this spring won
the championship of the state in
baseball, winning eight games and
losing one.
Beginning the state games by
beating Clemson 5 to 4 in a twelve
inning game, they next lost the on
ly game in the state to Erskine at
Due West by a score of 7 to 4. At
ter that game the Hornets found
themselves and won all the remain
ing games on their schedule, in
cluding two games from Newberry,
two from Carolina, two from Wof-
ford, one from Erskine, and one
from Clemson. In addition to win
ming the championship the Hornes
broke even with Auburn, winning,
l to 0, and losing one, 2 to 0. They
broke even with Oglethorpe win
ming one, to and losing one, a

winning one, 3 to 1, and losing one,
8 to 2; lost one to University of
Georgia, to l lost two to Geor-
gia Tech, IL to l and to 0. The
season taken as whole was very
successful.
On the Furman team were three
Freshmen, and one man playing
his first year. The team started out
rather poorly but once they got go
ing were never headed in the
state. They received good pitching
all the year from Mcleod and Pad
gett. The inficld composed Of
Capt. Rhame, E. H. Carter, Rasor,
Brasingtcn and Bradley played
steady fast defensive ball, while
the outfeld composed of Speer,
Nixon, O. L. Carter and Cox did
the brunt of the hitting. The team
as whole hit well, ran the bases
fast, felded clean, and backed up
the pitchers in faultless style. The
team was we'll fortified behind the
plate in Owings catching his second
year and Drummond, who is a
Freshman. On first Brasington and
Rasor alternated, both doing well.
