The cross on Mount Rubidoux was
erected in 1911 in commemoration Of
the life and services of Padre Juni-
pero Sierra, founder of the Franciscan
missions in California He arrived at
San Diego, Calf, July /, 1859. and
that day has been acclaimed the
birthday of California. During 1e
years this devoted priest labored Ik
establishing missions and converting

hardships, and there is no name in
the history of the West that is re-
garded with greater veneration by
Catholics and Protestants alike.
The origin of the Easter festival is
lost in antiquity. In the beginning Il
was a pagan rite, celebrated in honor
of Eostra.. or Ostara, the Anglo-Saxon
goddess of Spring. 1t was identified
with the Jewish Passover, and, final
ly, bout IS A. D, was instituted as a
Christian festival. There is no indi-
cation of the observance of the Eas-
ter festival. as such. in the New Tes-
lament or in the writings of the apos-
tolio fathers. The early Christians.
however, continued to observe Jewish
festivals, though in a new spirit,
commemorative of the events which
the festivals had foreshadowed.

Associated With Easter Festival

that a startling percentage of those
in the throngs of the Boardwalk and
Fifth avenue were in some way or
other connected with the clothing
haberdashery or millinery industry
Manufacturers, designers and buy

and exclusive mode shops are there,

eager to hear the dernier cri in styles.
BY the same token, the artist, with

pass almost unnoticed. Let a manni-

so appropriate a religious character
that they have been initiated all over
the country-are the sunrise services
on Mount RubidouX. At the crest of
this rugged height of the Western
ranges, thousands of pilgrims. repre-
senting almost every creed and every
race, gather at dawn of Easter morn
ing to participate in the services
commemorating the resurrection of
Christ.
Since the great cross was erected
on the heights in 1911 these pilgrims
have been coming each year in ever
increasing numbers-on horseback, in
wagons, by automobile and by train
so that the adjacent city of Redlands
is filled to overflowing. In 1915 5000
pilgrims attended the services; in
1915, 10000, and the number has in
creased proportionately each year
The visitors concentrate in the city
overnight, and when the bugle sounds
at o'clock on Sunday morning the
pilgrimage begins. Thousands make
the ascent on foot, following the
winding mountain trails. At dawn
with the multitude assembled before
the great cross, the bugles play The

by the vast concourse of voices, led
by body of trained choristers.

Grating Easter, IL is not
until the following Mon
day that perhaps the most pictur-
esque of Easter celebrations-the an
nual egg rolling on the White House
lawn-takes place.
The White House grounds on this
day are not exactly barred to adults,
but the guards at the various gates
are instructed to permit no grown
persons to enter the grounds unless
they are acting as chaperons for
youngsters. In other words. a child
and an Easter egg constitute tickets
of admission on this day of days
among the 365.
Most of the egg rolling, egg
eating and egg squashing and of
the latter there is a great deal-oc-
ours on the spacious green-carpeted
lawn to the south of the Executive
slope is eminently adapted to egg
rolling, while the beautiful trees,
shrubbery and flower beds provide
truly sylvan surroundings. with the
broad Potomac glistening in the pic
ture.
On a grassy elevation before the
south portico is the famous United
States Marine Band, and while the
little ones MUNICH hard boiled eggs,
or crush those which should have
been hard boiled. but weren't, they
are entertained by a selected pro-
gram of music.
An exception to the general rule
regarding the admission of the adults
to the grounds is made in the case
of the President and Mrs. Coolidge,
who appear for a while, TO enjoy the
music and greet the children. For
half an hour or more they pass
among the little ones, often pausing
to chat with them, and happy the

the presidential couple.
Though the commemoration of the
Easter festival prevails throughout
Christendom, and is observed in some
manner in every village and hamlet
of the United States, particularly now
that sunrise services are becoming
mora and more popular, there are at
least. three obseryances of the season
without mention of which no account
of the festival would be complete.
These are the annual fashion display
on the Boardwalk at Atlantic City,
the fashion parade on Fifth avenue,
New York City, md the sunrise serv-
ices on Mount Rubidoux, Riverside
County, Calf.
Last year, despite somewhat threat
ening skies, 1t is estimated that no
less than 100000 persons paraded the
Boardwalk in their Easter finery. and
Fifth avenue made an equally impress

Aside from the apparently frivolous
aspect of these fashion demonstra-

Before Ruth could speak Malvern
was running from the safety of
the trees toward the captive borzoi.
AS he ran he drew his pocketknife.
Divining the mans crafty quixotic

He paid no heed.
In ordinary course Dick and the
bull would have arrived at their goal

stop, had paused in his leisurely flight

his heart held no drop of cowardice
or selfishness, either. And. wheeling,
he bore down on the bull once more.
Loris, knowing his own pitiful
helplessness, nevertheless was brac-

fense he could. But midway across
the glade Bobby was at the bulls torn
shoulder. And the great brute fall
tered, irresolute for an instant, in his
stride. That instant suff1ced for Dick
Malvern to sever with one knife slash

the folds of the thick neck before he
could be shaken free.

Transplanting Eyes.

THE science of the eye has also re-
Gently been the subject of discus
sion on account of reports Of extraor-
dinary experiments in Vienna in con-
nection with the transplanting of
ewes. Walter FInkler has actually
claimed that he has been able success
fully to exchange the entire heads of
various insects. DIR. Koppanyi of the
Biological Institute at Vienna is more
modest and confines his claims to the
successful transplanting of eyes.
The whole subject deserves mention
in view of the fact that similar claims
are bound to be made again. 1t is
worth while, therefore. to make GER
tain of what has and what has not
been achieved in the experiments
which have been carried out. IN
doubtedly eyes have been trans
planted, but they are useless for pur-
poses of seeing. DIR. Blatt has made
eye transportation experiments upon
400 fresh-water fish, 40 chickens and
80 rabbits. Needless to say, anes-
thetics were used in every case. Ana
tomical healing took place in the case
of 26 fish and rabbits, but not

Hours of Sleep.

SLEEP is one of the most important
of all the natural functions. Its
absence, even when relative only, con-
stitutes an anxiety by day and a ter
ror by night.
1t is during sleep that the nervous
system obtains its only respite from
the excursions and alarms of wire
less workaday world. 1t is during
sleep that the heart Snatches its brief
and partial breathing space from the
wear and tear of it's ceaseless labors
1t is during sleep that the muscles
and joints enjoy their much needed
holiday. 1t is during sleep, and then
only. that the food with which we ret
plenish our forces reaches it's ultimate
destination to be absorbed and assimi-
lated
Sleep, then, is essential to our exist
ence, but, as in the case of so many
other good things, there is danger in
excess. The old saying of seven hours
for a man, eight hours for a woman,
and ten hours for a fool, considered as
a formula for application TO the habit
ual duration Of sleep, contains much
wisdom but to afford any true guild
ance it must be kept very elastic
The seven hours therein allowed 10
d man may be regarded as sufficient
when the repose is complete; when the
eyes are untroubled by light, the ears
undisturbed by sound. and the brain
exempt from dreams. When these
conditions are not fulfilled, at least one
hour must be regarded as mere sloth
in the case of man who really does
a mans work by day and uses him
self as the saying is.
Some people take longer to recu-
perate than others, but no one in
health requires ten hours. Anything
over eight hours must be regarded as
mere sloth, which in the long run pro
duces very undesirable effects.
One Of the greatest enemies of sleep
is the modern bed. The ideal bed is a
plank bed, with the asperities soft
ened by q mattress capable of suffi-
cfent indentation to admit the hips,
shoulders, and elbows. This bed
should have a fall of about four inches
from foot to head. and the pillows
should not be bulky. In place of the
plank. d box-mattress with fairly
strong spiral springs may be permit
ted to the latter-day sybarite, but it
is certainly not necessary: it may
even be said to be undesirable.
The very worst and least reposeful
type OF bed is unfortunately by far
the most common, namely, that which
is provided with a chain mattress
which says in the middle. These
are sometimes claimed to be hygienic;
they are nothing of the sort; they are
simply and irredeemably abominable.
Some people declare that they are
unable to sleep "out of pure cussed-
ness" as they express it. This means.
Of course, merely that they are un-
able to assign any cause for the
trouble, but it does not mean that no
cause exists. A very common cause,
which is, curiously enough. very sell
dom recognized as a cause, is cold
feet. 1t is said that the law in one
State recognizes cold feet as a suff1-
cient cause for divorce. However that
may be, it is certain that 1t is very
sufficient cause for insomnia, and,
therefore, for restlessness by night
and bad temper by day.

born in 1928 or 1929 by referring to
the records which the health office
keeps of deaths and to his death no.
tice in The Star. The health office
record tells that Nicholas Pistorio
died August IS, 1888, Sc years old, a
musician, born in Messina, Italy;
father and mother natives of Italy:
place of death, 914 G street south
east, and interment at Mount Olivet
Cemetery, August 20, 1888. In The

There is a family tradition that

Well, whether Nicholas Pistorio
was or was not on easy terms with
the King, he was a musician and
man of merit, and to my crude and
unframed thinking there is more
credit in calling the thoughts and
dreams of music masters out of
fiddle or a piccolo or bassoon than in
being court chamberlain to a king
or opening doors, placing chairs and
running errands for any man.
Nicholas Pistorio came to Washing
ton to enlist in the Marine Band and
enlisted. He played for you at the
White House concerts and many per-
sons knew him. Especially on the
Navy Yard. That was a sociable
neighborhood and a man was a man
even though he played a saxophone.
OF course, that's going pretty far.
Many of you saw Nicholas in the
scarlet coat of the band, helping with
his horn to touch mems hearts with
splendid song. Perhaps you did not
know him. That was natural. There
may have been a social gulf, a So
cial chasm, or at least some sort of
q hiatus between you and him. You
may have had an office or store of
one kind or another and. of course,
a man playing in band and having
only talent good sense and an ade-
quate income was not one YOU could
be chubby with. Nicholas Pistorio
was a good man and grew to be
what can be safely called a good old
gentleman. He was hearty, kind, in
telligent, was gentle to his children,
got on well with his wife and was
more prosperous than many promi-
nent persons today who have not
