\ FIXED EASTER

Experts connected with the League of Nations are busy with a multitude of economic and social questions and work mostly without what might be termed due pub ncity. The recommendation made that inc second Sunday in April be Tho fixed due for the observance oe Easter aiI receive more attcn- ton than the usual run of supple mcutary committee suggestions and will be subject to considerable dis. cuzslou in religious circles. Consid- rrug that the decision is subject 10 an agreement with the Holy Sec before finally accepted as reform, it is likely that one or two Easters may yet come and go before the day is made stationary.
 The proper time for celebrating Easter has long been a matter of dispute. Eastern Christians first bold tho holiday 10 be on the l4lh of Nisan, now corresponding 10 April. tho day on which fell the Jewish Passover; the majority of the Christian church in that early period. however, celebrated it upon the following day. It was the Coun- cil of Nicc in @25, that fixed Easter as on Sunday the first after the full moon appearing on or next after March 2l; and by "iull moon was meant the I4th day Of the calendar moon. According 10 this reckoning, the earliest day on which Easter could fall would be March %, and the latest date April 25. From this we have Easter falling upon d variety of dates. and each year it requires a glimpse upon the calcn- dar to determine just when the day representing the resurrection Of

THE EARTH AWRY

When five earthquakes within an hour are recorded upon the sensi- tive instruments which man keeps to advise him Of how the earth trembles, it can be concluded that mother earth is undergoing pe- riod of geological readjustment. News stories from Italy closely fol- lowed the seismograph reports and told of the wiping out Of a village and damage to others.
 From Mexico the wires have been tingling with news Of serious floods with thousands made homeless. From Germany similar reports burdened the cables
 The worst effect accompanying an unusual year that we have ex- perienced so far is less warm weather than usual We have been lucky.

mARTn ON THE STAGE,

When two such foremost caterers of public amusement disagree upon matters of policy the general run of playgoer, -gocr. and those who only read about the shows, will twittcr an eyelash and perk an at tentiye ear. Flo Ziegfeld baron of the FoJlies, noting a handwriting on the wall, has come out fatfoot- edly against more nudity upon the metropolitan stage, if that is possi- ble; he at least is in favor of the status quo, which consists of two ounces of clothing per person - or perhaps less depending upon the quality Of the silk. Lee Shubcrt in the name of art and all the emo- tions appertaining thereto shriclSs from Paris that Ziegfeld must be slipping in his estimate of what's what in human interest.
 List Mr. Shubert:
 "The world has no objection to nudity in sculpture or painting, so why object to it behind the foot lights? Word and actions may be vulgar but the human body never is Nudity is on the stage 10 stay, 1 believe"
 t may be in vain 10 point out 10 Mir, Schubert that the difference between sculpture-painting and the stage is that the former twin arts are dead replicas of the real thing, while the stage presents the real thing alive and well, with nothing added and nothing subtracted. It may be easy to look at a statue or a painting of a feminine charmcr; but 10 the best of our knowledge the art galleries are not crowded with folk paying real money and plenty Of il for admission. People pay much to get comparatively neeting Glances of the glorided girl in the act Of glorifying the foot lights. but they pay nothing and don't fully appreciate the glorifca- ton of the art galleries. There must be point about the amusc- ment business which puts MT. Shu- bert in the wrong. There Is a diff ference - about ten dollars worth at the door,
 It appears that Al Woods, an- other New York amusement pur- yeyor. has the right dope" as the learned and wise say on 42d street. "I do not believe he (ziegfeld) will keep up his pose very long" From this it is evident Woods thinks ZiosfclI is posing - but not in q beauty show. We agree with Woods. 1T the new ziegfeld show is as tame as tho theatrical critics say it is, and the box office begins to suffer ZieefaId will ginger it up in the usual way.
