HOG CHOLERA LOSS s27 900, 900

Hog cholera caused a less of more
than $27, 900, 600 to the swine industry
of the United States during the year
ended April 30. 1924, according to re-
cent compilation by the United States
Department of Agriculture More than
half of the total loss occurred in the
Corn Belt States, where hogs are es-
pecially numerous. A comparison OF
the number of hogs with the loss caus-
ed by cholera in each State shows that
the ravages of the disease are approxi-
. mately in proportion to the hog popu-
lation.
In computing the losses from hog
cholera, specialists of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry estimate that 80 per
cent of losses from all causes are due
to this dread disease. Most of this can
be prevented by the proper sanitation
and the preventive-serum treatment.
Bulletins giving full information on
hog cholera, its control and prevention
may be obtained on request from the
United States Department OF Argicui-
ture, Washington, d. Z.

DAY OF NARROW ROAD HAS
NOW GONE BY

Don't build the road narrow. But
however it is built, have a right OF
way ample enough. to provide fol
widening in the future. On these
two hang all the law and the profits
of modern road building
An expensive fault of the narrow
road is the concentration Of traffic
Wheels moving constantly over the
same places produce parallel lines
Of excessive wear To prevent rapid
disintegration Of single track road
a heavier foundation and surface Il
needed than is required for widel
road.
Substantial shoulders at the sides
on which the passing traffic may TURF
out are also necessary, as otherwise
the wheels Of vehicles turning out
to pass will quickly wear ruts at tbs
edges. In these water collects, q
penetrate beneath the foundation,
with disastrous results. A narrow
road with soft earth shoulders Il
dangerous to motor traffic in slipper,
weather.
To build the heavier foundation
and surface needed to bear the con
centration of traffic on narrow
road, and the substantial shoulders
at the sides, requires as much money
as to build wider road. On wide
road, traffic is scattered, and wear IL
distributed. With a paved surface
sufficiently wide for two fines OF
rapidly moving vehicles to pass in
safety, the necessity for artificial
shoulders is eliminated. To build
narrow road, thin and withou,
shoulders, means loss Of the entire
investment in a comparatively short
time.
A narrow right Of way requires
drainage bitches close to the travel
With no shoulder between paved sur
face and ditch the chances Of serious
accident are largely increased. All
drainage bitches tend to become
deeper, so that the danger to traffic
becomes constantly greater.
Before any program for, beautifica.
tion of highways is undertaken, some
assurance that the rights of way arc
wide enough to accommodate future
traffic should be had.
Motor vehicle traffic Will increase
as the milage of hard roads in
creases. A general extension in ths
width of wearing surfaces will cal
for wider rights of way. To obtain
wider rights of way now means ar
ultimate saving of large sum OF
money and will prevent many future
difficulties.

Organized notification has been not
only routed but Inundated at Cleve-
land and New York. The Republican
plank on law enforcement was practi-
cally word for word what was asked by
the Anti-Saloon League. At New York
the Democratic convention, acquiescing
in the opinion of other temperance or
CARNATIONS, went even further, NAM
ing the prohibition law specifically as a
statue deserving of strict enforcement.
One in attendance upon either conven-
ton was necessarily impressed by the
complete collapse of the notification
demand. The strength of that move
ment was not simply weak, but pitiably
weak.

THE COST or cARELEssNEs.

Not since 1906. the year of the San
Francisco catastrophe, has there been
such heavy fire loss in this country
as in 1928, when losses totaled ap-
proximately $50S. 100000. In spite
of this. the average fire insurance
rate has declined from $1.03 per
800 in 1914 to 80 cents per 500 in
1928.
President Smith of the National
Board Of Fire Underwriters, before
the annual meeting of that organi
cation, declared that rs per cent OF
all fires could be prevented by exer-
else of ordinary care. He added:
No country, however rich in Great
ed wealth, can continue to support
such an enormous drain on its re-
sources. Our wealth of today will
surely be affected IL we do not, as q
nation, dam this annual waste"
The people rely upon insurance as
protection against financial losses
and overlook their own Individual
responsibility to prevent fires which
destroy thousands OF lives annually
in addition to physical property.

SOME THOUGHTS ON EASTER
By MAMA TATE

CENTURIES ago the pagans
celebrated a feast Of Easter,
~ or Eostur as they called it,
because the spring sun had a
new birth in the East.
All races celebrate a festival
known to them as Easter, each
having different significance
and name. Paques is Easter in
French; it is Pasqua in Italian,
and Pascua in Spanish. These
names evidently were taken from
the Jewish Passover pesach c'be
passed over'9.
The Jewish Passover commemo-
passed over" the houses of the
children of Israel in Egypt giving
them his blessing and shifting the
Egyptians in his wrath. At the
Jewish festival a lamb was sacri-
feed, and the blood Of the paschal
lamb was then sprinkled on the
doors and steps of the Hebrew
houses as a sign of immunity
from evil influences, dangers and
diseases.
Later on, during apostolic times,
when the festival of the sacrificed
Lamb of God was celebrated, it
was only natural that they should
name 1t the same as the feast
celebrated by their ancestors CEN
turtles before. 1t was quite easy,
and appropriate, too, to draw an
analogy-Christ representing the
Real Paschal Lamb. 1t was also
quite natural for the Teutonic
peoples later on to remember the
old pagan festival celebrating the
resurrection Of the SUM and asso-
ciate 1t with the Son of Righteous
ness, and also retain many of the
traditions and customs which had
prevailed among the heathens
from time immemorial, celebrating
in the order Of a jubilee, as they
did, the reawakening Of nature
after her long, cold, death-like
sleep.
Two thousand years ago man
stood on the threshold of q new
era. 1t took the pendulum Of
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-04-15

human intellect thousands OF
years to swing from the dark
recesSes Of superstition and myth
ology out into the light of day
where he no longer worshipped
as many gods as he said prayers.
Although unable to walk alone on
the road of spiritual and In
tellectual growth, he was able
now and again without his
crutches Of mysticism and props
OF superstitioD to take an In
dependent step--to think an in
dependent thought.
The Easter egg is a remnant
Of Paganism--a symbol of the
terminating fertility Of spring.
The custom of giving Easter
eggs at Easter is traced to Egypt
ian philosophy and theology.
They looked upon it as a sacred
emblem which purged man after
the great inundation. The Per-
slams and Greeks considered the
egg a symbol representing the
universe, the works of Divinity.
The Jews also adopted 1t in their
ritual and it appeared on the
table with the Paschal Lamb at
the Passover.
Evidently, the Easter egg Is a
sort Of religious trophy that
has been handed down from one
generation to another-from one
race to another. Christians still
retain the egg in their Easter
festival, and it represents the
elements Of future life and a sym.
boil of the Resurrection. Easter
is celebrated in commemorative
of the triumph Of the Saviour of
the world over death
"Oh grave, where is thy victory;
Oh death, where is thy sting?"
Had not the Christ Child enter
ed among men centuries ago, we
would in all probability be travel
ing the level of our more ancient
ancestors, still living in a world
that offered everything to man
for his spiritual and intellectual
development, and yet not availing
ourselves of the possibilities it
contained.

has her heart set on going to some dump
where, by mortgaging the house and life in
surance, they can manage to wedge in for two
weeks like coupla soused sardines and sur
vey the latest thing in sport skirts, pinch
backs, shingles, lay backs and cut downs.
Do they enjoy themselves9 I'll say they
don't. For fourteen days they re simply
ptomaines to each other. They spend their
time saying things which would be grounds
for heavy damages if they weren't married.
And then they return, all gummed up with
insults and resentment, to start another year
of married life.
What the solutioni The ideal solution, Of
course, is to take separate vacations if you
can possibly scrape up the cash. Go as far
away from each other as your pocketbooks
will take you. Then forget about each other.
