orally followed in the western church.
The original intention of the fast
before Easter was probably to COM
memorate those FORTY hours of gloom
and sorrow which interviewed between
the Qualification and Resurrection,
for sorrow over the death and Pas
sion of Christ was very wisely con-
nected by the church with sorrow for
the sin which made necessary His
death on the Cross. SO in this way
the Lenten Fast was converted into
a period of self discipline and self ex-
animation.
The rule of fasting during the Len
ten season has always varied Some
people considering it necessary to alb
stain from food altogether for con-
siderable intervals, others consider
ing that only certain kinds of food
should be abstained from. The Roman
Catholic church lays down very def
mite rules for fasting but the mem
bers of Protestant and other branches
of the Catholic church are left to
settle the matter according to the die
tates of their own conscience.
The name Ash Wednesday orig
mated with the custom in the early
church of throwing ashes on the heads
OF penitents as part of their discipline,
though the day at one time had
another name signifying, The begin
ming of the Fast
We must not omit to mention that
during this Lenten season we bring
to mind the Fasting and Temptation
Of our Lord, when He was led by the
Spirit into the Wilderness and when
He had tasted for forty days and
nights the devil came to Him and
tempted Him when He was hungry
But we are told that when the devil
left Him that angels came and min
istered TO Him as they will also min,
lister to us when we have need Of
them.
AS we have already spoken of the
six weeks of Lent it follows of neces
sity that there must be six Sundays
during this season. The first three
Sundays have no special significance
beyond the name of the season. The
fourth Sunday in Lent has been called
by various names. Mid Lent" Sunday,

As the object of this little paper
is TO give some enlightenment on the
subject Of Lent (the season of the

aviation Of the word Lent. 1t is a very
sample thing to explain as it comes

which means Spring AS every

A WORLD-WAR
ON DISEASE

Out of the war with Germany has
arisen a world-war against germs, OBJ
serves Bruno Lasker, in an article in
The Survey, picturing the League of
Nations at work. When constructive
effort became the paramount duty of
the Allies, an International Health
Office, with which was incorporated
the Office international d'Hygiene
Publique, and Of which the Red Cross
Societies have become an integral part
was established as a bureau of the
League. Among the practical methods
of work contemplated for the near
future, in addition to the general duty
of advising the League Of Nations in
matters affecting health, there are
mainly five, states the writer:
''To bring administrative health
authorities in different countries into
closer relationship With each other;
''To organize mems of more rapid
interchange of information on matters
where immediate precautions against
disease may be required leg. epidem-
ics), and to simplify methods for act
ing rapidly on such information
where it affects more than one c0un-
try;
for securing or revising necessary in
ternational agreements for admins
trative action in matters of health, and
more particularly for examining those
subjects which it is proposed to bring
before the executive and general COM
mittees, with a view to the conclusion
of international conventions;
"To be advisory to the International
Labor Office on health questions;
"To confer with and, when request
ed, to advise the League of Red Gross
Societies and other authorized volun
tary organizations"
Thus the office will become an in
ternational clearing house Of informa-
ton pertaining to matters of health,
and be ever ready to act when any
part of the world is threatened with
disease or disaster. It has a gigantic
task even now, the writer points out,

of these diseases in other countries,

Fighting Famine
with Good Roads

When the Switchmen's Strike threa-
tened Chicago with famine, combin-
alton of good roads and motor trucks
averted that disaster. George F. Paul
tells about it in The Highway Maya
zine tChicago). When the possible
ty of nationwide railroad tie-up be-
came apparent, this writer made a
special investigation of highway trans
port conditions in and about Chicago
to determine how this great manufac-
turing center could utilize the high
ways in supplying necessities to near
by cities. He writes:
There came a call for motor
trucks. Dozens of cities within ra-
dius of fifty to seventy-five miles Of
Chicago, which are dependent upon the
packing houses for their meat sup
plies, began to flash S. O. S. calls as
soon as the sWitchmen walked out.
THE shortage Of cars had recently
kept outlying towns and cities on a
day-to-day ration. One days supply
shut off would mean a meat famine.
THE highways extending from Chi
cago to points within radius Of fifty
to seventy-five miles were in fair con-
dition in spite of the wet spring, and
the city was Immediately able to dis
patch conveys of from eight to twelve
motor trucks, each convoy leaving as
rapidly as it could be loaded.
Convoy after convoy rumbled over
the hard surfaced roads or pulled stur-
Oily through the mud, reaching the
thickly populated manufacturing CEN
ters OF Waukegan, Aurora, Elgin, and
Gary within a few hours with thou
sands of pounds of fresh meat.
Perhaps realizing that such a nee
essity would at some time arise, some
of the big packers had purchased a
large supply of specially designed
tractor trailers, which are in reality
small refrigerator-cars.
Each one is capable of holding
twenty-four thousand pounds of fresh
meat. Each trailer has its own re-
frigerator system, and the meat is
kept at a temperature of 80 degrees
during the hauls.
"The construction of these trailer
bodies is interesting. They are As
feet long, II feet 3 inches, and feet
6 inches wide. A cork lining serves
to keep the contents at an even tenn
perature. All meats are suspended
from the ceiling of the body as in
standard railroad refrigerator-ca
Each trailer is demountable from the
fifth wheel of the tractor and can be
detached by two men in three min
utes, through the use of two strong
jacks fixt to each trailer body.
"Not only was the meat supply
handled by motor-trucks, but many
commercial houses depended upon To-
cal motor transport companies to
move their freight between Chicago
and points throughout the Middle
West. Thousands of tons of goods
was thus kept moving.
st took the war with its car short
age to demonstrate the value of the
truck in commercial transport
But at the same time, Americas need
for better highways was made appar-
ent. The railroad strike has again
