Misery and Jobs
Follow Wake
OF Storm
BY HARRY FREEMAN.

Rain, sleet and snow whipped the
streets of New York last night. Snow
shOvelling contractors got fat con-
tracts, their wives sighed and moved
little closer TO open fireplaces-and
the jobless walked the streets of the
Bowery in frayed overcoats looking
for work.
Long lines of men. their coat collars
turned up against the whistling wind,
waited outside of Bowery missions in
the hope of getting a cup of coffee
and chunk of bread. They were even
willing to listen to the religious slop
handed out by the Salvation Army to
escape the snow and the biting wind.
Hundreds of other men-most of
them old-crept out of the Easements
Of missions where they are permitted
to stay during the winter. The snow
has its virtues: it provides contrac-
tors with contracts and the jobless
with jobs: so hundreds Of old men
ambled out Of the missions to clear
the city streets of snow. They have
to work ten hours a day and the pay
is only fifty cents an hour. But that's
better than staying in mission base
E,ent and living on coffee and the gos-
pei.
"This Amt No Fun"
"Let me tell you, brother. this amt
no fun" one of the workers told me
when asked him how much he got
an hour. He was an old man, and his
gnarled hands, which gripped his
shovel, were bare TITS a damned
cold day." He pulled his ragged mack
NAV closer and began shovelling Wig
orously. The foreman was standing
a few feet away.

Small Tribe Resists
Domination of Russia

Though technically a part Of the
old Roman empire under the rule
Of the czars, the Russians In reality
never conquered Syanetia, which
has been occupied by an Isolated
mountain tribe occupying a small
area in the heart Of the Caucasus
mountains. The Syanetim stale,
supposed to have been founded
nearly 1000 years ago, has been a
republic ever since, making II the
oldest republic in the world. In
1921, when the Communists extend
cd their power along the Black sea,
they decided to attempt to conquer
$yanetfa. The Swans sent dele
cation down to warn the troops
that II would be vain for them to
try TO break through the mountain
barrier. The Russian captain re-
fused to take heed. He went
through southern Syanetia without
trouble With his battalion Of 400
men marching single file along a
trail he came TO the almost path

Ing the River INCUR, and there was

on the opposite bank of the river,
shot down the 400 Russian troops.

for them. because the Swans never

Plans For New Borough Hall
Y Pleasing ToLinwoOd Citizens
Community Among the Most Progressive The Mainland
building to Cost 100000 With Lot; Located on

Iare constantly endeavoring
to save the borough money,
and at the same time give it
all the Improvements and
advantages which it is pos
sible, and still keep the tax
rate down
Funds for the construction
of the hall, and for the pur-
chase Of the property, win be
raised through the sale of
100000 in bonds. Ordinances
have passed through the
Borough council unanimously
empowering the proper offic-
ials to sell the bonds, and
give the Councilmen the
power to furnish the Borough
hall at the same time.
The construction Of an
addition to the public school
on Bellhaven avenue is also
another matter Of public build
ing which is a source of boast
ing among the Linwood resi-
dents. The addition, used for
a first time this year, contains
eight rooms.
So rapidly is the Borough
filling up that the new school
will be filled within the next
two years, according to the
belief of school and other
officials Of the Borough.

OF the many holy days in Portu-
gal in the ceremonies of Easter
week, Good Friday holds unique
place. The early part of the day
Is passed in service and fasting,
but later en- image Of the traitor
Judas" is carried on a cart through
the streets Of each town, and a
great crowd follows. Then the
false apostle IS hung upon the
church steeple, and next day the
effigy is cut down and burned in
a huge bonfire. In Mexico and most
of the South American republics.
you find the same customs. Fuses
and fire crackers fill the image of
Judas, and he is also stuffed with
buns. cigarettes and other gifts. AT
ten at night, when the match is ap-
piled, the arbitrator fizzes, fumes
and finally explodes, scattering the
gifts among the crowds, who
scramble wildly for relics.

Xxx On Palm sunday, the agony
$4,000 or Christ in the garden, the
crncihxion ana burial on Good
friday-all these are past. Death
Il swallowed up In victory. Christ
the Lord is risen today.
II, as has been suggested, the
word Easter Is derived from Oster,
which signifies rising. then is East
er Sunday, both In name and real
, tfg the feast Of the resurrection.
1t Is more probable, however.
that Easter gets It's name from
Eostre, Saxon deity, whose feast
WIS celebrated every spring about
the time Of the Christian festival.
A compromise was thus effected.
Christians accepting the pagan
name and pagans accepting the
Christian Significance Of the day.
Easter IS movable feast. II
falls on 'the first Sunday after the
full moon which happens upon or
next after the twenty-first Of
March, and, II the full moon hap
pens upon Sunday, Easter day IS
the Sunday after"
III earlier days Easter was called
the Paschal feast, for it was kept
1T the same time as the Pascha,
or Jewish Passover.
SO much for the origin OF the
name.
Easter Sunday today Is celebrat-
ed by young and old alike.
For the children there are rab-
bits and Easter eggs--and tie MI
restrained Joy of egg hunts in back
yards and in public parks.
For the grOwn-ups there are new
suits, new hats.
But surely Easter holds more
than this for us. 1t Is not a day
of happiness alone, nor Of outward
show alone. It is a day Of victory.
Just as our Saxon fOrefathers
celebrated Eostre and the victory
OF things physical. 50 we celebrate
Easter and the victory Of things
spiritual The heart OF man Is
filed with the beauty Of springs
flowers that have sprung from
death-to life.
The soul of man Is triumphant,
for It IS filed with spirit which
dleth not.

80 nnDua lDnospl ASSOCIATE. s,teAl

Washington, Oct 12-To those in
terested in political by-play and
trends, the most fascinating feature
of the days activities in official Wash
ington is that period when the men
linger over their coffee cups for a
smoke or two It is not unusual or
Shocking to have the women join in
the smoking for times and codes of
conduct have changed. If the not
ables present feel assured that their
auditors will observe ethics of the oc-
casion and not repeat, one can listen
to absorbing tales and comments on
national and world affairs. The sea-
son has just opened and many whose
duties do not require their attention
until Congress meets, are flocking
back to the capitol merely to keep
abreast of developments.
1t is remarkable how rapidly men
pass from power. Talk now centers
on William M. Butler, formerly a
Senator from Massachusetts, who we
are told, is walking from under the
halo of his influence Over the cof-
fee cups or other glasses, they say
nowadays. that Mr.. Butler is about
to walk the plank as the national
chairman of the Republican party
While President Coolidge was at the
helm, and possible candidate, his
friend had the pleasing prospect of
riding the Coolidge band-wagon. With
tho that Tho Drac
ident will retire to private life, the
predictions are that Mr. Butler will
pass into political oblivion.
1t is generally believed that Mr..
Coolidge's decision wiped out the last
vestige of hope for Buffers return
to the Senate. The story current in
local circles is that Butler expected
to run for the Senate with the hope
that Coolidge as a candidate for the
Presidency would sweep the party
ticket into power in his own state.
Butler, lacking in harmonizing quail
tiles so vital to successful political
career, has always been lonely,
somewhat arrogant figure.

Rube Chell relieved Farrell in the

conference here for several days with
his personal friend, the President and
the Secretary of State. Our Mexican
relations have always been source
of trouble.
If anyone has ever doubted the
cosmopolitan character of Washing
ton, especially since the World War,
they have only to attend social func-
lions now. There are rs national
groups represented at the Radio
Telegraphic Conference in session
here. Tradition as to dress and rank
is followed with the result that high
silk hats, and other formal wear is
always in evidence. The foreigners
are conspicuous with their brilliant
uniforms and glittering decorations
There is nothing definite about leg
islative plans for the winter. In re-
cent years tariff matters have been
given little attention because of the
wide authority conferred upon the
Tariff Commission. The controversy
with France has brought the subject
to the fore. The 1922 Tariff Act may
be amended by Congress, but no
marked change in policy is expected.
The supply bills for the maintenance
of Federal Departments will be ready
for the consideration of the House
Appropriations Committee shortly.
The Ways and Means Committee will
conduct public hearings to obtain
views of tax reduction from October
81 to November 10. An organized
drive for reduction of the corpora
ton tax is under way. Proposals
will be made for further cuts in per-
sonal taxes because of the Presiden-
tial elections, but nothing much is ex-
pected in actual savings.
There is something about the en-
vironment of Washington that makes
the great men of the world blend into
the picture and dulls the lustre of
fame. For instance, walking along
Sixteenth Street you may note Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo walking along
unnoticed by the crowd. He has
established law offices here. Charles
Evans Hughes spends considerable
time in town practising before the
courts, generally the. Supreme Court,
from which he resigned some years
ago. Herbert Hoover, world figure
and now leading candidate for the
Presidential nomination, travels about
the town and us seldom recognized.
Visiting dignitaries whose names deco
rate the social registers of the world
comment upon their freedom from
staring eyes while in Washington.
