HARTFORD PASTOR 1. ON EASTER SUNDAY
Gives Good Sketch of Life
 of Christ in Short 1. Sermon
CAUSE OF INDIFFERENCE

Speaking at the First Methodist church in Hartford yesterday. Rev Charles N. Noble. grouped a lot. of well authenticated facts on the life. death and resurrection of Christ. In less than a column report of the ad- dress. printed in the Courant, the preacher covers 8 lot of ground and furnishes historical proof in support of everything he says and concludes as follows:
 There is abroad to-day an accu- sation that the witness of the resurrection is gradually being dimmed. It takes on imagination to see why. So many Christians re- main complacent in the face of nfe's obvious injustices; so many are ut terly immersed in the greedy chase for wealth; so many bear not the slightly resemblance, in faith or practise, to that strenuous prophet whom we call Jesus Christ. It is hard to see the living Jesus in some of us. Easter comes, not only as a triumph. but also as a reminder that the resurrection comes only to those who have gone through the passion which must precede it. Without the cross of love there is no Christ of power.
 That is why we Christians do not let the spring go as merely a pa gan nature festival. We might leave the spring to the crocuses and may flowers, but we cannot. There is that witness, however dim, that bids us greet Easter morn with hymns and prayers. We do 1t because the power of the living Christ makes us believe that what held for Him holds crushed and utterly destroyed, to- morrow the spirit of God in the heart of man would somehow bloom, again in the world"

 The latest in styles were dis played both by the men and the women. On all sides everybody had something new added to his or her wearing apparel All in all.

EASTER PARADE IN NEW YORK WENT
 OVER SMOOTHLY
Somewhat Chilly But the Coats Were There to Off, set It-Mr Zero and His Followers Were Out
By H. ALLEN SMITH

(OnlteO I1reSS StaM COrFCSpOnucnt)
 New York, April 6 - (UP)- Manhattan's Mayfair - Dowagers, debutantes and drawing room heroes-went for stroll yesterday on Fifth avenue, and to a patient observer on the sidelines 1t was ex- tremely interesting to note that the rabbit has been brought out of the egg-laying category.
 Until this year the rabbit has play ed rather unappreciated role in the celebration of Easter, having had to lay numberless eggs in all the colors of the rainbow hearing such inscrip- tions as "a happy Easter to you" But the gentle bunny, masquerad- ing under the name of Larkin, won in walk in5 the Easter parade this year, for the chill, grey day made a fur highly desirable, and the Lapin Jacket struck what the ladies seemed to think was just the proper note.
 Though its gaiety and brilliance suffered from a complete absence of sunshine, the immemorial Easter parade still retained some of the pageantry which has made it famous since the days when Ward McAllis- CT ruled the "400." The shining silk hats and cutaways. the throngs push
 
 ass on Fifth Avenue, score of horse-drawn Victorias waiting beside the curb-these remain, and will for many years.
 Tn two respects the Easter fashions which are authoritative for the whole country-harked back to the beginning of the century, Besides the short Jackets already mentioned fitted closely on old-fashioned lines. women have returned to the sailor hat. worn high on the head with flowers under the brim.
 No less a fashion expert than Madame Gabrielle Chanel of Paris observed with approval what Ameri- can women. are wearing. She found the parade a symphony of blue and stylishly up-tO-date also with the popular new greys.
 'The great chic and elegance of Americas women, their lasting youth and beauty, are everlastingly envied by. women abroad" remarked the great designer.
 But aside from such considerations as these-the height of the hemline. the color of gown--the Easter parade in New York seems to follow It's traditional pattern year in and year out.

CHISHOLM TRAIL MAY BE MARKED
 IN OKLAHOMA
Bill to Commemorate Fa- nous Cattle Path Be-
 fore Legislature

Oklahoma City.--The old chis- holm trail, traversed by countless thousands of Texas Longshorns dur ing the days when Indians and buff faloes roamed the western prairies, may be officially marked in Okla homa.
 A bill was introduced in the legis- 1lature providing for tho state high way commission to place markers on the trail from Doan's crossing on Red River to point on the Kansas state line, south of Dodge City, Kan.
 The Chisholm trail is still visible 8jn many sections fo the state by small ravines which formed from the tracks made by cattle herds as they were driven through the In- dian country from Texas ranches to Kansas markets.
 Should the bill become law the highway commission will be required to print maps. showing markings on the trail and it's proximity to the Rock Island railroad and U. s. high way No. 8f. running north and south thruogh the state.
 Pioneers have been unable to agree on the exact route. Many con- tend 1t took westerly course through the state, while others claim 1t ran farther to the east.
 The Chisholm trail was the scene of many stampedes, which the cat tle drivers attempted to halt at night by the singing of the now famous cowboy songs.
