HARRISBURG GIRL
SHOOTS AND KILLS
HAROLD A. SMITH
FINDS SWEETHEART WITH !
ANOTHER WOMAN IN BUCK
HARMON HOME AND
FIRES THREE SHOTS
All Three Find Mark in Mans Body.
Attempt at Suicide proves failure.

Because she found her sweetheart
at the home Of another woman Luz
ellie Pierce Of Clarksburg shot and
killed Harold A. Smith also Of Clarks
burg asst Friday night. The shoot
ing took place att the home of Miss
Louise Thomas in Buckhannon
Miss Pierce, who was very fond of
Smith had been suspicious Of his
business, trips for some time and
when he told her Friday afternoon
that he was going to Phiippi she de-
termined to follow him. She asked
young acquaintance to drive her to
Buckhannon and on arriving there
learned that her suspicious were cor
rect when she found his name on a
hotel register.
The enraged followed him to the
home Of Miss Thomas where Smith
had been regular caller for some
time. There she found him talking
to Miss Thomas and the sight Of
framed picture of Smith hanging ON
the wall so Infatuated her that she
pulled d revolver, and shot three
times. The first bullet tore through
Smiths heart, the second through
hi sright lung and the third through
his brain, any one of the shots would
have killed him. The Miss Pierce
turned the revolver on herself but it
misflred. She then sat down and
quietly waited for the officers to
come.
Miss Pierce who is n is a divorced
woman but was allowed BY the court
to take her maiden name. Smith
was also DIVORCED but court rulings
| would not allow hire TO marry for
| some time. The woman was taken to
the Buckhannon Jail and an attempt
is being made to get bail for her
The sympathy Of Buckhannon is
very strong in the favor Of the Pierce
woman and flowers, books and many
other offerings have been sent her.
Clarksburg people however do not
seem so strong in their approval the
action of the girl.

KILLING THE GOOSE

From indications carpenters, brick

have killed the goose that was laying
golden eggs. For in reading our
daily papers we note that building
construction is slowing down for no
other reason than the inability of
men who have money to build to pay
higher labor costs than they've been
paying. When carpenters get above
$40 day and brickmasons begin to
asv for SIS and $40 day the danger
point has been reachd, vn though in
thier desire to get all they can poss-
IDLY get they do not realize it. Such
demands have forced many men who
had building plans mapped out that
would total millions Of dollars to call
off those plans and postpone their
building work. And there, too we
have proof of what we have contend
ed right along that the Belington

wages, ard job that promises to be

stay right where he is.

giving and Christmas, for instance
create so great a demand for turkeys
that thousands of people in turkey
Kansas bend all their energies to have
their turkeys ready for the market at
the psychological moment.
And when everybody wants turkey
the general public eats less meat.
Hence the butchers and market men
have to keep watchful eye open.
Now, as everyone knows, Easter is
preceded by the Lenten season of 46
days. During Lent the American
people eat less meat than usual and
more fish and oysters and more eggs
So 1t makes lot of difference to a
lot of producers whether Lent begins
In February or in March.
Then there's the climax of the de-
mand for eggs at Easter. Besides, the
demand for baby chicks is so great at
Easter for advertising. display and
gift purposes that many incubators
the country over have TO set their
hatchings with Easter Day In mind.
In short, II seems a truism that
holidays, whether Of festivity or fast
ing. patriotism or prayer, are reflected
In the busy marts of the country. And
one of the most far-reaching In influ-
ence is Easter, with Its month-long
variation In dates.
Easter is the principal festival of
the Christian church, concentrating
the resurrection Of Jesus Christ from
the dead
far antedating the resurrection of
Christ-one that goes back to the
early days of man.
Casters original significance was
the celebration at or near the vernal
equinox of the beginning of a new
year. 1t celebrated the end of win
ter and the approach OF spring-the
coming of light and heat-and life.
At Rome the sacred fire in the tenn
pie of the Vestsl Virgins was kindled
anew on March 1. which was the be-
ginning of the new year. A CORE
spending ceremony is still common in
various parts of Europe. Bonflres are
lighted from flame originated by
the priests on Faster eve. These |
fires are kindled every year on the
same hill, which usually is given the |
name of Easter Mountain" The sig |
nificance is this: AS far as the light |
Of the bonfire reaches the fields will |
be fruitful and the houses safe from
fire and disease. AS the flames die
down, men, women and children leap
though them as protection against
disease.
When Christianity came TO the
'front.' II adopted the pagan holiday Of
Easter. 1t explained that the extinc-
ion of the old-year fires on Easter
Eve symbolized the darkness of Cal

vary and of the grave. The ghtinG
Of the new fires symbolized the resur.
| rection.
1t seems incongruous, at frs
thought, that Easter-the principal
festival of the Christian church-and
All Fools Day-a day of practica,
| jokes and horseplay-should fall on
the same day-and on Sunday at that
On second thought, however. there
is nothing incongruous about IL, ex-
cepting the fact that All Fools' Day
should fall on Sunday-and that is the
fault of our fearful and wonderful
calendar.
Both Easter and All Fools Day had
their origin. away back In the begin
nings of the race, in delight at the
approach of spring. 1t may be easily
understood that the winter was 8
hard season for many os the primeval
peoples and that the increasing
warmth of the sun and the springing
up of vegetable life meant literally
renewal of life. SO the vernal
equinox celebration Of primeval peo-
Piles was largely expressed in actions
of exuberant Joy.
Even after the coming of Christian
ity Easter was celebrated with gapes,
songs, dances and dramatic shows In
the Middle Ages It was the custom at
Easter for the people to listen to
amusing tales from the pulpits of ne
churches. Special cakes we're baked
our modern equivalents are hot-cross
buns and simnel cakes. BrightlT-
painted eggs were presented to friends.
So there was originally little diff
ference In the celebration of the two
days. In fact, the modern celebration
of All Fools Day is probably sur
vival of the less serious features of
Easter day.
Anyway, All FOOLS Da.- is apparent
ly Just as old as Easter The Scotch

airy II. The Hindus have their Hull
festival on March 81.
So it is likely that the popular cele-
bration in this country of April Fool
Day" is the survival Of some pagan
festival of the ancient world largely
devoted to horse play and the playing
of jokes in sheer exuberance of spirit
because of the coming of spring.
The pictures show three phases OF
the celebration of April l, 1893. One
shows a crowd Of worshipers going |
into st. Thomas church on Fifth ave
nue., New York city. Another shows |
a survival of prehistoric days-the
on the White House lawn |
by children on Easter Monday. The
third suggests the pranks of All Fools
Day. |

tween March % and April %.
At first the Christian Easter syn
chronized exactly with the Jewish
Passover. This was rejected in the
Western Church on the ground that
the resurrection took place on the
first day Of the week after the Pass
over and ahould therefore be COM
memorated on Sunday. After much
controversy the particular Sunday was
definitely fixed in the Sixth century
to be the Sunday between the fifteenth
and twenty-firat days OF the moon In
the first month of the Jewish lunar
year, the computation to be made ac-
cording to the tables of Victorius of
Aquitaine which were introduced in
ATS A. ID. Followed another century
of controversy. Then the matter of
the date Of Easter was finally dis
posed of at the synod held at Whitby,
England, In 1864. After this date the
clergy of the British Isles conformed
to the general practice of the West
ern Church.
So now both Protestant and Roman
Catholic churches observe Easter on
the first Sunday after the full moon
on or next after March 81. Thus
Easter cannot fall earlier than March
% or later than April %.
Easter seldom comes as early as
March %. In fact II was away back
in 1918. more than century ago, that
Easter last fell on this early date.
The nearest approach was March %
in 1856 and 1913. Between now and
1850 its earliest date viii be March
"a In 1910.
Thus Easter may fall more than a
whole month later some years than
other years. For example, II fell on
April %, the latest possible date, In
1886. 1t will fall on the same date In
1913. II fell on April "a in 1859 and
on April % in 1905 and 1915.
Easter and All Fools Day only oc-
casionally fall on the same date They |
coincide in the century 1550-1950. but |
six times-1s66. 1877, 1888, 1923, 1884,
1p45.
"Well, what of lt7 What difference |
does It make whether Eastern falls /
early or late-falls on March % or
April 25?"
As matter of fact many of our
American holidays have a nation
wide influence In many ways. Thanks
