week.. Only one case, however, proved
fatal during the week.
The cases reported last week in
cluded five at the Greenleaf School,
two at the Crummell School, seven at
the Henry D. Cooke School, and one at
the Johnson-Poweu School,, -.
As soon as o child js reported. to the
health department as suffering from
dfphtharia schitufest5Afe taken from
the throats Of all children in the same
classroom.
It frequently occurs that a child has
the diphtheria germ in his or her
throat without becoming i'll, which Is
regarded by the health department as
a carrier case.
Health Officer Fowler. while not
alarmed at the present situation, ad-
vtses parents not to attempt to doctor
sore throats with home remedies, but
to consult the family physician, to
make certain that what apparently is
only q sore throat Is not diphtheria.

$l5O,O)D REQUIRED
TO FINISH HOSPITAL
Deficiency Appropriation Is
t Necessary for Completion
| of GaIIinger Buildings.

Enactment by Congress of deficiency
appropriation for completing Gallinger
Municipal Hospital. as requested by the
District Commissioners, will make pos
sible the opening of the hospital July l,
next: the appropriations committee OF
the House has been informed
1t is the desire of the board of chari-
ties to put the psychopathic group OF
the new hospital. which will take the
asSum sGs q 5hs nfe hx ha
time. The Commissioners. In the regu-
lar District budget, to be submitted to
Congress in December. have made no
provision for maintenance of the Wash
fiscal year on the assumption the CAL
lnger Hospital will be dedicated to
service on July /.
The deficiency appropriation re-
Quested at this time, the Comm mission-
ers have informed Congress. Is for the
purpose of preventing loss of about
six months in construction work. The
money will be expended In complet-
ing a power plant and domestic build
ing, as the hospital cannot be placed
in operation until these auNiliartes
are ready to function.
Heating tunnels from the psyche
nathic group to the power plant and
the service tunnel to the domestic
building have been built. but new coh-
tracts will have to be entered into be-
fore either the power plant or the do
nestle building can be carried high
er than the basement. While the
commissioners have authority under
law, 1t is explained. to enter into such
contracts, no money Is available for
payment thereon. and an immediate
appropriation OF $150.00O is necessary
to prevent serious delay in making
the hospital ready for service.
The psychopathic group will con-
tain 1876 beds. Other units will be
added to the hospital as the need de-
velops, and ultimately, 1t is stated.
the institution will be equipped with
800 beds. The limit Of cost fixed by
existing law on the construction OF
the Gallinger Hospital is S1,500.000. of
which appropriations totaling S1,103,-
$50 have been authorized to date.

OLD BELIEFS ABOUT EASTER
peep-Rooted Ideas That Have Been
Current From the Earliest Days
Of the Celebration.

There Is an old weather supersti-
ton to the effect that If the sun shines
on Easter 1t will shine on Whitsun-
day
II you battle with cold water on
Easter day, you will keep well all the
year.
There Is another old superstition
about eggs, and that Is to rub over
the face an egg that has been colored
for Easter to have a nice complexion.
To cry on Easter Is a sign you
will cry the following Sunday, too.
1t is bad luck to keep Easter eggs.
They should be destroyed.
If rabbit runs across your path
on Easter Sunday 1t is a good luck
sign.
For the lovelorn, there is q warning
that one should not get engaged on
Easter Sunday, else the engagement
will be broken.
"Give a man a red egg at Easter
to secure his love-" Is an old gypsy
amendment.

Armenia First Christian Nation.

The Armenians are an Aryan race
and probably emigrated from Europe
into Asia Minor centuries before the
Christian era. Their language be-
longs to the Indo-European group OF
languages. Their king was converted
to Christianity as early as 3Ol A. D.,
and Armenia then became the first
Christian nation of the world. The
Armenian civilization has been estab-
lished for centuries. The position or
the country on the highway between
Asia and Europe has subjected it to
invasion and subjugation at various
periods by the Assyrians, Medes,
Greeks, Romans, Persians and Turks.
From the Fourteenth century to the
late war, the greatest part Of Armenia
was under Turkish rule. Their en-
NIFTY to the Turks rises from their
struggles as a nation to be free, which
have frequently been accompanied by
massacres Of Armenians. Americas
interest arises from sympathy with an
oppressed race that has for so long
upheld Christian civilization in the
Near East.

REALM OF DEATH ON EARTH
Country in the Vicinity of Mount We

The country at the foot of Vesuvius
is the most fertile and best cultivated
of the kingdom most favored by

Lacryma Christi vine fiourishes beside
land totally devastated by lava, as II
nature here made a last effort and re-
solved to perish in her richest array.
As you ascend you turn to gaze on
Naples and on the fair land about it
the sea sparkles In the sun as II
strewn with jewels; but all the splen-
doris Of creation are extinguished by
degrees, as you enter the region OF
ashes and smoke, that announce your
approach to the volcano.
The iron waves of other years have
traced large black burrows In the soil.
At q certain height birds are no long

you enter the realm Of death, and the
slain earth's dust slips beneath your
unassured feet.-Madame De Stael.

PAGAN Traits remain.

Complete separation Of Christian
festivals from the pagan celebrations
that preceded them has proved diff
cult, Our term "Easter" Is strictly
pagan, for example. being named in
honor of the ancient Morse goddess Of
Spring, Ostara. The term Lent" is
derived from the old Saxon word
Lencten, signifying spring, and the
festivities Of the carnival period are
no doubt a persistence Of the festival
spirit In which our pagan ancestors
used to celebrate the return Of spring.
All these things seem to bear out the
declaration of Ulysses: II am a part
Of all that I have met" for In spite
of centuries of civilization some of
the pagan traits Of our prehistoric an
cestors still abide with us.
