Ball Playing Traced to
Theory Of Resurrection

It is interesting to read in Prof.
Elliot Smiths Human History
that the common origin Of ball
games may be traced to the fact
that the ancient Egyptians theory
Of the universe depended upon the
view that the death and resurrec-
tion of the god Osiris was essen
tial for the maintenance of life" In
the periodical dramatic representa-
tions of this belief. Professor Smith
explains, ''the conflict of the fol
lowers of Osiris with those of his
enemy Set was enacted" and not
only the bullfighting of Spain, and
the cockfighting of Asia but
also the tug-Of-war, football,
hockey, tennis, cricket, polo, and,
in fact all ball games, are the mod
flied survivals of the Osirian COM
petitions in which the representa-
tives of the rival parties struggled
for the mummy of the king god or
his head. the ball. l."-Montrea Fam

Provisions for Regular
Sessions of Congress

Each congress covers the period
from the fourth day of the March
following the congressional cleo
ton in which its members were
chosen, to noon the fourth day Of
March of the second year there
after, or a period of two years.
According to the Constitution,
congress must meet in regular ses-
sion on the first Monday of De
cember of every year, and special
sessions may be held upon the call
of the President. The 'long ses-
siOnn is the one beginning in the
odd-numbered years, because 1t
may continue until business is fin
ished. 1t usually ends, though, in
the early summer. The session be-
ginning in December of the even
numbered years is called the short
session" for the reason that it may
last only until March 8, owing to
the expiration of the terms of the
members.

in Washington street. When she
came out of the downtown store
in which she and her friend had
been shopping a sticker glowed

'The big bum!" she exclaimed,
expressing her disapproval of the
policeman who had ticketed her

Standish Story Myth?

Apparently there is no evidence
to support the assertion often made
that Capt. Miles Standish, military
commander of the Mayf1ower group
of Pilgrims at Plymouth, lost one
OF his legs In battle and wore a
"cork" leg. None Of the contem-
porary historians and chroniclers
mention the fact, and it is not so
stated in the reputable histories OF
Plymouth colony. Perhaps 1t orig
inally rose from a confusion of
Standish with Peter Stuyvesant, the
one-legged governor Of New Meth
erland.

Commemorative Map

A "Mercator" map" is a map con-
structed on the principle of Mer-
Gators projection. Tie merid-
ians are drawn parallel to each
other, and the parallels Of latitude
are straight lines, whose distance
from each other increases with
their distance from the equator, SO
that in all places the degrees Of
latitude and longitude have to each
other the same ratio as on the
sphere itself. This produces an ap-
parent enlargement Of the polar re-
gions, which when translated into
distance is approximately accurate.

Island Dwellers

There are only two good ways
to come to Stockholm. One is to
approach slowly by the canal from
Goteborg, and the other is to ar
rive by sea through the glorious
channels between its 70 miles of is
lands. The rugged sea and land
scapes of these rocky islets not only
made artists happy, but many fam
lilies Of the city make their sum
mer homes on an island, and the
business men commute daily by
launch to their work. Everybody
has a yacht or some more modest
craft and they spend nearly all day
on the water.

There are two principal sorts Of
critics of the times. There are
those that criticize because they
see evils to be remedied and want
to warn or help. and those that
