EASTER DATE NOW STABIL- FEED FOR GREAT BRITAIN
 AND NORTHERN IRELAND

LONDON.-Easter, so far as com municants of the Church of England are concerned, hereafter will fall an- hually on the Sunday after the second Saturday in April, instead of being determined, as at present, by the phases of the moon.
 The bill embodying the change for Great Britain and Northern Ireland was given it's third reading in the House of Lords today. It previously had passed the House of Commons, and now needs only the assent of King George to become law.
 The movement for t'stabilization" of Easter was started some years ago. The variable nature of the weather in the British Isles before the middle of April was one of the most important arguments used, by proponents of the measure
 Under the present system Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon or on next after Mare5s 21, and therefore may be any Sunday be tween March 21 and April 25.

WARNING GIVEN REGARD
 ING FOOD POISONING

WASHINGTON.- of pre- caution to prevent the outbreaks nof food poisoning, which. have occurred frequently in recent months, are en- phasized by Dr. A. C. Hunter, bacteri- ologist of the Department of .Agrieul- ture-
 These measures incllde the thor ough heating of food products, pro- tection against contamination by dust, flies or other insects, ,~rats or mice or human carriers of disease producing bacteria, complete cleanliness of all utensils, and careful refrigeration of food between the time of preparation and consumption.
 "A few fundamental rules should be borne in mind by every person pre- pairing food" says Dr. Hunter. Food to be eatenraw should be fresh, clean, free from abnormal odors, rotting areas and from mold, and should be washed in clean water fit for drinking puI pOScS- sNIOOhEu 1OOuS Sil0ulu DG heated to the boiling point, kept free from contamination, and if to be held more than a few hours subjected to refrigeration"
 The outbreaks recently coming to the attention of the food, drug tand insecticide division of the department have been purely local in character, and the spread of illness.'has been re- stricted to persons partaking of. a par ticular dish or eating a particular meal. Such outbreaks are most fre- quently traced, it is said, to contam- nations occurring within the kitchen. Rarely has the troublesbeen traced to unfit ingredients. While ingredients such as eggs, milk or meat may be the vehicles of infection, their sdevel- opment is possible only because of failure to destroy them by adequate heating or to prevent development by sufficient refrigeration, it 4iazSpointed out

Exaggeration.

Senator Rorah said at a dinner in Washington:
 If fi1e nations of Europe are as anti-war as they claim 8tn!be, they'll sign Secretary lKellogg's anti-war pact; but I'm afraid the anti-war feel ing of some of these nations is only skin deep.
 "They remind me, in fact, of the young man about to become father. He was walking up and down the cor ridor, wringing his hands and moan ing, and when the doctor came out of the sick room for moment he rushed up to him and said:
 "sOh, doctor, can nothing be done :? This agony is more than lean bear. Do, do something, doctor. Get it over. or the suspense will kill mel
 "'Oh, no it won't said the doctor, and he patted the young mans shoul- der in a comforting way. I've brought hundreds of babies into the world and never Host father yet"

He Was Polite.

The Los Angeles Times tells a lit tie story with a moral for traffic po- liteness:
 "A motor cop of New York city spied a motorist hurrying through the streetssat 35 miles an hour and pursued him. The speeder was sent to the curb and given the customary invitation to an interview with the judge.
 However, the officer did not ask, 'Who, dye think ye arn?' He did not impanel jury of curious spectators and try him at the curb. He did not usurp the place of the courtsaud act as if he were on a noisy hunt for a doonmat.
 "He was courteous to the offender. He seemed to think an American cit izen, even when arrested, hadasome rights. He-did not appear to feel that his victim had forfeited all respect. He was measurably apologetic for having inconvenienced busy. man in hurry who might be absent minded in his haste. He even acted as if he were comforting a favor. on. the cul- prit.
 "The imam arrested seemed tn think so, too! Not long afterward check arrived at headquarters of the New York police department for Officer James E. Fay as reward for doing his duty courteously-'

IEN ERAL MANAGER ALASKA
 K. R. MAKES SUGGESTIONS TO
 INCREASE ROADS TRAFFIC

SEWARD-Although not disclos-
 ing the contents of his report to the
 secretary of the Interior, Otto F.
 Unison, a general manager of the Alaska Railroad, has several import ant recommendation to make when he retnrnsto Washington.
 Colonei lOhlson spoke here. at a . Chamber -of Commerce luncheon, de- elarlng that he thinks colonization is : of major importance in the develop /. ment- of Alaska. There are two mil < don -acres of tillable land in the Mat ; anuska and Panama valleys, he said, :. androom for 1900 families.
 He believes the railroad will profit ! much by expert mining advice and so ' Willaask authority to add a mining ex- pert to his staff to examine proper
 ties. where people are clamoring for roads and branch lines or pass upon the possibilities of opening new dis :. triets.
 In his address of welcome Mayor L. V. Ray denounced the leasing law i. as4thee greatest factor in holding back the. development. .of Alaska. He sug-
 gested that Congress grant the Alas . ka Railroad hundred miles on either
 side of it's line to be administered by the railroad with power to sell coal and mineral lands and pass upon the titles, as we'll as for forest areas.
 Colonel Ohlson did not discuss this question but assured that it would re- ceive his careful consideration. Tour ist traffic will increase by leaps and bounds, he declared, but added that Alaska is deficient in the number of hotels. He said Seward and Fair { banks need bigger and better hotels : immediately. To increase tourist atrafic Colonel Ohlson recommended that the railroad publicity and book ing office be moved from Washington to Chicago as more central point of .origin for tourists.

{. ORIGIN OF LIFE DIFFICULT TO
 FATHOM, SAYS SCIENTIST

EVANSTON, Ill.-Science must ac- count for many phenomena in terms of luck, Dr. D. W. Swann, director of the Rartol Foundation Franklin Insti- tute, of Philadelphia, said today in a discussion at the American Chemical Society Institute at Northwestern University.
 .""Science heretofore he said, "has always felt that everything that hap pened could be traced to some cause, which, in turn, always had definite effect, but we know now that the re- suits of many purely physical phe- nomena-such as the transmission of heat-depend upon laws of probabil- iIy,' which is just another name for chance"
 Applying this "new scientific type of thought to the problems of the ex- istence of life. Dr. Swann said
 Either one accepts the view of creation handed down by the Bible or else the scieitist mods his head and says he cannot answer the question. Life processes may have started by pure chance.
 "It is difficult for us to understand the way life started. Once started, science has been able to see the work ings of life. But as for getting any clear conceptions of the beginnings, we are at a loss"
 Even the subconscious belief among physicists that the laws of chance as introduced into their own subject were merely makeshifts for some thing more fundamental, ,Dr. Swann stated, has received a severe jolt dur ing the past year.
