The Month of Mars

THE Romans called the third month
March after Mars, the god of war.
because of its rough and boisterous
weather. The same idea was also in
the minds OF the Angles and Saxons,
who referred to it as Hlythmonath,
the loud or stormy month
Mars, the son of Jupiter and Juno,
was one of the most important of the
gods, and since the genius of the
Romans was for war and political
orga nization this god was perhaps
more closely linked with the individual
lives of the people than any other
NEUROLOGICAL deity. To him they
looked not only for defense in time
of battle. but for the safety of their
crops against Indictment weather and
Tor their own protection against cpl
denies of plague and fever that were
so common In those days. Mars was
said to have the city of Rome under
his special care and. as the story goes.
he sent a shield from heaven during
a time OF plague as sign that he
would always watch over the city.
The Romans fearing this shield might
be stolen, had IL others made so like
the first that only the priests who
guarded them. in the Temple of Mars,
could tell one from the other. These
shields were reverently cared for
and in memory of the naming of
March after Mars, they were carried
in a procession through the streets of
Rome each year during this month.
Perhaps no other NEUROLOGICAL
character has played so prominent a
roe in the history of civilization as
the Roman god of war, for Mars was
the ancestor of the Roman people
he father of Romulus and Remus,
the founders Of the Eternal City"
The gods, although immortal in that
they could never die nor even grow
old, yet sometimes married mortals.
Mars fell in love with a beautiful
girl named lila. who had given up
her life to serve In the temple of
4 Nesta. the goddess of fire. 1t was
the duty of these prieStesses of Vesta
to guard the fire which continually
burned on the altar Of the goddess,
for the safety OF the people was
thought To depend on this sacred
fame. No vestal, as the priestesses
were called was allowed TO marry,
under penalty Of death. lila, however,
in spite OF her solemn promise, con
scented TO marry Mars and, keeping
her marriage a secret. continued TO

this was done. After the cost of the

1t must not be supposed that all
applicants for the Travellers Aid. or
any considerable part of them. are OF
the several types enumerated.
Hosts of arriving tourists consult
the station workers. They are the
monday folks who are seeking hotel
or other living quarters while in the
city. They want to make the most
or their brief visit and ask inforn1a-
tion concerning the main points of
interest and how to get to them most
expeditiously.
inexperienced travellers seek ad.

but they are essential sometimes to
describe what is being accomplished

January the total number OF cases
handled by the Travellers Aid was

aided In various ways. 263 trains were
met and 20 persons registered with

Coming to beautiful country of hills

finished the outer walls they quarrel

Romulus lost his temper and struck
his brother Remus dead. With the
help of band of wicked and cruel
men like himself. Romulus at last
succeeded in building Rome, which
came to be one of the most famous
cities the world has ever known.
Romulus was made the first King
OF Rome, but he ruled so harshly
that the Senators, the chief men of
the city, determined to rid them
selves of him. During an eclipse of
the sun. which darkened the city just
at the time when Romulus and the
Senators were assembled in the mar
ket-place, the Senators fell on the
King with their swords and slew him
They then cut his body into small
pieces. which they hid beneath their
clOaks. When the light returned
and the people found that the King
had disappeared, the Senators told
them that Romulus had been carried
off by the gods to Mount Olympus
and ordered a temple to be built in
his honor on one of the seven hills of

So she sent a photograph of herself
