EASTER

Easter services are held to COM
memorate the resurrection of Christ,
and is observed in most every
branch of the Christian Church.
BY the first Christian it was
considered TO continue the feast
of the Passover, at which the pas
chal lamb symbol of Christ, was
sacrificed.
The English name comes from
the Anglo Saxon Eastre, goddess
of light or Spring, whose festival
was celebrated in April.
For a long time there was a
great dispute as TO the proper time
for holding Easter.
The controversy was decided by
the council of Nice many years
ago, which fixed Easter on the
first Sunday after the full moon
which happens upon or next after
March II. If the full moon happens
on a Sunday, Easter is the Sunday
thereafter.

Illustrating this is a recent occur

Carefully had he packed his brief

hastened to the elevator.
AS he reached the shaft and was

Cutting down expenses is one
of the activities now engaging Civil
Service Commission officials. In
some directions their efforts will be
appreciated more than in others,
perhaps, and this is likely to be
especially true among applicants
for Government positions.
Hereafter there will be no more
of the long pages of questions
covering some six shets Of foolscap
printed in the smallest kind of type.
The place of several of these appli-
cation blanks has been taken by a
little four-page QUESTIONABLE half
the length of those formerly sup
Piled, which will save the commission
some $4,000 on it's printing bills.
Serve Same Purpose.
The abbreviated application blanks
answer all the purposes Of the old
forms, it was explained today. In
addition they save several thou
sands of dollars annually in the
expense of carrying on the work
in the filing and reference rooms
of the commission.
The popularity of the short form
has been demonstrated at the COM
mission headquarters, it is snid,
while from all sections of the coun-
try come commendatory letters
from Civil Service examiners on
the adoption of the short appli.
cation form.
Saves Worry and Time.
Truly the new form is great
saving in money and time" said
H. w. Morgan, of the statistical
department today. ''It will cost
some $4,000 less to print them each
year while the replacement of Some
two to sixteen pages OF data by
four small pages will materially re-
lieve the demand On filing space.
Then they are cheaper to handle. /"
