Degrees of Moonshine

The naval observatory says that
the moon shines in the Arctic and
Antarctic regions for part of the
time during the long nights. At
the pole itself the moon is above
the horizon continuously during
one-half of each lunar month and
below the horizon continuously dur
ing the other half. In the winter

Cleveland and Pittsburgh

Cleveland, Ohio, is named for
Moses Cleaveland, the founder OF
the city, but the extra "a" has been
eliminated. Pittsburgh hon0rs the

was Duquesne, given by the French,
who had located a fort at the juno

May Day customs still persist
because Of their romance and
loveliness, both in old England
and on this side of the Atlantic.
There is hardly d college for
young women that does not select
q May queen, the loveliest, most
attractiye girl, by popular acclaim
each spring. and appoint her to-
preside over outdoor May festivals.
May Day parties are popular
aTnong children, but they were the
great spring festival for young
folks in the England of other
days. Young men in gay cos
tunes did the quaint Morris
dances, and men and maids danced
about the May pole, a tall straight
hawthorn tree which was cut
down, stripped Of its branches.
bedecked with ribbons and flow
exs and carried to the center of
the town in a lively procession,
drawn by oxen, followed by young
men, and girls in their gayest, as
we'll as by dancers, musicians and
testers.
If. April, symbolizes the ''uncer-
tain glory" of very young love,
then May stands for happy, whole
some, youthful affection in full
enjoyment of springtime, ready for
courtship and mating.
Young folks of today are getting
away from stiff, artificial Victor
tanism as well as prudish Puritan
ism. They are progressing to
point much more like the whole.
some, hearty comradeship that was
typicalsof merry England in Eliza
bhthaIl days. Fresh air, outdoor
life and adventure are character
astfc Of modern young folks. AS
they were in the Golden Age of
England. 1nformality and direct,
Independent thinking, characterize
both that day and this.
May. Day has always had its
conventions, it's proprieties. Mod
erIi youth holds to-, conventions
when It sees wise reason. Only
ontgroWn, hypocrittcal,, meaning.
less conventions are cast aside.
Conventions help to restrain
emotion and give order and beauty
to- life. The joys of courtship,
betrothal and marriage would be
impossible save for conventions.
And so modern youth is likely
to keep to a code of conventions
1t can accept sincerely for the
good Of the greatest number.
Modern girls and boys know
that pleasure is no crime, provided
It harms no one and does not
encourage or strengthen bad in
cIinations. Dancing, singing, the
festival spirit, outdoor games, are
natural to youth and helpful to
romance. So let US encourage the
May Day spirit and the happy
love, and successful mating it
gymbolizes.

indicate that she expects the man
to make no gesture Of this kind.
She tells him in a friendly man
