business suspended, and every schoolboy
got holiday. 1t was festival which
looked backward to the sowing OF the
seed and forward to its sprouting, back
ward to the shortening days OF the old
year and forward to the new light OF
new year. The joys and peculiar
customs of this festival are to a great
extent repeated in the sports OF tne
modern Christmas and of the italian
carnival.
Originally the date of the Saturnalia
was December 10, but with the reform
of the calendar by Julius Caesar in as
B. c., the festival fell on December IT,,
a change which brought much confu-
sion. AS a compromise the Saturnalia
was made to comprise three days, De-
cember II to 10, and subsequently the
number was extended to seven. Al

MALTA, the greatest of all pagan fes-
tivals, was instituted.
The outstanding feature of the Satur-
MALTA as festival in historical times
was the temporary dissolution OF the
ordinary conditions OF society when the
distinctions of rank disappeared or were
reversed. slaves were permitted to
wear the pilleus, the badge of freedom,
and to sit at the banquet table In their
masters clothes while the latter waited
on them. All classes devoted them
selves to feasting and mirth, presents
were interchanged among friends, wax
tapers being the common offering OF
the more humble to their superiors, and
crowds thronged the, streets, shouting,
10 Saturnalia!" It was the time
when men recalled the joys of the
golden age; all. work was abandoned,

that this occasion was observed with
the greatest faithfulnesS and reverence
among the Saxons for very long time.
Although universally worshiped in the
North. Saturn was nowhere honored as
in Italy. He was a supergod among
these people and, in fact. SO important
that Italy itself was often called Satur-
MIA. the land of Saturn, Saturnus or
Saeturnus meaning power, but reaping
as we'll as sowing belonged to Saturn,
whose commonest symbol was the
sickle.
Agriculture, vine culture and the rails
ing of trees are said to be gifts for
mankind which he brought from Greece
to Italy. His reign was that golden
age" of which later poets sang as the
ideal of earthly happiness and in
memory Of which the famous Satur-

though the entire week was regarded
in a general sense as devoted to the
Saturnalia, three festivals were really
celebrated. The Saturnalia proper, the
Opalia, in honor of Ops. wife OF Saturn
and goddess of field labor (from opus,
work., and the Sigillaria, in which
sigilla or little earthenware figures were
exposed for sale and purchased as chill
dren's toys The Opalia was for very
long time coincident with the Satur-
MALTA, the two together lasting nVe
days. while the sixth and seventh days
of the celebration were devoted to the
Sigillaria.
In addition to being the protectress
of agriculture, Ops was also the god
dess of the world below, so that when
one wished to honor her, 1t was the
custom to stoop and touch the ground

Early Surgery.
TREPANATION of skulls and o.

TREPANATION of skulls and other
major operations were performed
in Sweden 5000 years ago, says Sci
ence. In the ruins of an ancient VIZ
lage on the Swedish island of Gothland
in the Baltic Sea, which thrived during
the stone age, DIR. Gustaf Nihlen,
archeologist of Stockholm, has found,
upon examining numerous human
skeletons, conclusive proof that expert
enced physicians existed at that period.
Neat round holes were discovered In
several skulls, showing that the art Of
operating on the skull as cure for
various ills was known. In these deli
cate operations ordinary stone augers
or drills we're used, and 1t appears that
in the majority of cases the patient
survived

THE DAY OF SATURN

special feast was served in memory OF
the naming of Saturday for Saturn.
The most important Saxon festival to
the god, however, was the Spring cele-
bration, when the people felt it their
sacred duty to visit one OF his temples,
invoking the gods watch and care over
their crops and asking his personal
blessings throughout the year. One can
easily imagine what an arduous task
this must have been, since 1t was o1ten
necessary for the peasant class TO MAKE
long pilgrimages on loot over tne
rouebest kind of roads with no bridges.
In srite of these difficulties, it is said

THE seventh day of the week was
IL sacred to the divinity of Saturn,
or Scatter, as he was known to the
Saxons, and was called Seater's-Daeg,
or Saturday. Saturn occupied place
of pre-eminence among the deities OF
olden times and was worshiped through
out ancient Europe. He was the god
of agriculture, to whom the people
looked for the protection OF their crops
and for the preservation of the fer
tility of the soil. Every Saxon city OF
Importance erected temples TO thls goo'
where offerings were made daily.

the life of the people was closely con-
nected with that of Saturn, and she
was worshiped in the SANE temple with
him at the west end + the Ec-nan
Forum. The statue of Saturn in this
temple was hollow and filled with oil
to denote the fertility of Latium in
olives, While symbolic of his skill in
vine culture, Saturn held crooked
pruning knife in his hand The temple
itself was used as the treasury Of the
state, and many records were deposited
in it.

Youth Had No Choice
in Matter of Dress

A young Boston business man sur.
prlsed his Office associates the other
day by coming in to work at the usual
hour in the morning, wearing a full
dress suit.
The evening before he. had run out
in his car to visit a friend in the
country, and his friend had persuaded
him to stay all night. at midnight he
was escorted to the guest room, where
paJamas were laid out for him, and,
undressing and depositing his clothes
upon a chair, be went to bed.
The next morning, while he was tax.
ing shower in the bathroom, grand.
ma, who had spent the night with a
married daughter who lived nearby,
and who didn't know that there was
company, entered the room and, see
ing the pile Of clothing on the chair,
supposed that 1t had been left by her
son, and, finding that the suit was not
in first-class condition, promptly sent
it by a passing sehoOlboy to the tailor
to be pressed and put the other gar
ments In the wash.
And the full dress suit was the only
one the host of the surprised young
Boston business man had to lend

CHAINP
BREAKS LEG

As unconcerned as his heroes, the
famous automobile and motorcycle
racers OF the world, 6-year-Old
Robert Calais, 271O Twenty-fourth
st. N. E., today lies injured in
Casualty Hospital, another victim
of a bad track
Robert 10 known far and wide
in the neighborhood in which he
lives as the champion scooter"
rider OF that section.
Now Robert is not one Of those
Champs" who waits for ideal
weather conditions, the size of the
purse or the physical condition OF
the challenger before deciding to
race. When challenged, he races,
be it day or night.
Last night several other children
in the neighborhood decided that
Robert had held the championship
quite long enough, so they sug-
that might dethrone him.
Accepting the challenge, Robert
lined up with the rest and the
race was on. Almost immediately
he left the others far behind, so
far that they could barely see him
in the darkness.
The race. however, came to a
sudden and tragic end when the
front wheel Of the Champs"
scooter ran into q hole and he was
thrown clear OF the "wreckaSe."
At Casualty Hospital sym.
pathetic doctor looked at Roberts
right leg, shook his head and
announced. Pretty bad, two posi-
BILE fractures of the principal
mechanism Of his racing machine"
well, they didn't beat me,
smiled Robert through the pain.
