Billy met many political figures in

And went to Washington as secretary

vulgar.
One Of Billy Minskys prideful
boasts is that he made modern bur-
lesque a vogue among fashionable
summers. In his old East Side thea
ter, located on rooftop, ladies and
gents in top hats and ermine sat side
by side with truck drivers, sailors
and street characters.

The Lenten Season

Many Christians today began OBJ
servance Of the Lenten season as
preparation for the festivities OF
Easter and, curiously enough, it
marks the advent Of spring In the
religious year.
The name itself, according to En-
cyclopedia Britannica, was taken
from many words in many languages
all Of which mean spring and is CIV
en- to the season because it comes in
the spring of the year.
Historically it is one of the Oldest
of Christian observances and, from
many non-religious standpoints, 1t Is
one Of the finest. The religious sig
nificance Of the observance lies IN
its similarity to the fast OF 40 days
and 40 nights endured by Jesus
Christ, but the present-day interpre-
tatiou also is that Of modification
and self-denial in preparation for the
season of Joy and feasting.
II stripped of all its religious char
acteristics, Lent probably Is good
thing for many of us. It emphasizes
the Importance Of the spiritual over
the physical, the smallness and un-
Importance of every mortal man and
the fealty which we should pay to
the Creator. It has humbling ef-
feet upon those who observe 1t and
It makes each one think Of his own
sins. weaknesses and imperfections.
Certainly this is not bad thing for
any of us.
Some pseudo-historians would in
fer that Lent is development from
the circumstances under which pre-
historic man lived and is carryover
from remote times. This, however,
seems to be disputed by the facts,
since the first observance OF Lent ap-
parently dates from the Council of
Nice in 325.
Those who advocate the natural
theory point out that our ancestors
had no way Of preserving food and
that. along in the late winter or
carly spring, 1t was common thing
for ancient tribes to go on short ra-
tions because Of the scarcity Of food.
In due time, in order to maintain
peace and order among the people
faced with this situation and to pre-
serve the power of the ruling author
tiles, religious quality was injected
into the observance.
This would seem to be seriously in
error. however because conmentar-
les on the Lenten season fail to men,
ton any similar observance among
the ancients. It apparently is dis
tinctly product Of the Christian era.

The Propaganda Stage

American newspapers now are being
flooded with propaganda regarding
the situation in China. The war in
the Far East has reached the prop
Uganda stage.
This is only natural since the at
titude Of the people Of the United
States will be important when peace
comes again and new treaties are
made. Both the Japanese and the
Chinese realize that the will of the
people exerts tremendous influence
upon the government Of the United
States and each group would like to
have our good will.
Heading the list is a letter from
the japanese Association in China
with headquarters at Shanghai, in
which notice IS served that the asso-
ciation is sending out "a clean state
ment of the issues involved, brief and
unbiased, giving the findings OF
trained observers" It Is significant
however, that the letter was not
matted from Shanghai but from Ma
gasaki, Japan.
