MARCH GETS NAME
FROM GOD OF WAR
Remained First Month in
Roman Year Until Julian
Calendar Was Formed.
BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

March, first month in the ancient
Roman calendar and third In the mod
ern system of reckoning, takes its name
from that Of the turbulent Mars, god
OF war, patron of conflict.
The poet Ovid observed that the pre-
historic people Of Italy had a calendar
division known by the same name, but
q general tradition tells that the month
was one of those arranged, about 1888
BIC, by Romulus, founder of the Roman
community. The war deity was sup
posed to be the father of that pioneer.
But the title March" was unknown
TO the Latins. Their word for the month
was "Martius," signifying Mars month"
or 1.-The month of Mars" The military
connotation developed over a long pc
riod Of years. Originally Mars was a
patron of agriculture, invoked to bless
the fields and their fruits, and to guard
the family, the cattle and the poultry OF
farmers. He was relied upon to fend off
sickness, bad weather and "all else that
did harm" His martial character was
the result of process of evolution, be-
ginning, perhaps, with his election as
protector of the Roman state. He
seems to have become soldier god in
response to popular demand on the
part of the Roman people. Eventually
he was identified with the Greek god,
Ares, with whom previously he had had
no connection. Ares was the war deity
Of the Grecian nations.
Aid of Mars Invoked.
Among the Latins the cult of Mars
prospered with the victories Of Roman
arms. His symbols were the ravenous
pecker and the lance. When war broke
out, the general solemnly invoked his
aid by shifting his holy lance and the
holy shields with the cry, Mars, awaker
Many sacrifices were also offered to him
during the campaign and before battle
and in his name military honors were
conferred. The Field of Mars, Campus
Martius, was dedicated to him as the
>atron god Of warlike exercises" Con-
estS were held in his name in Febru-
Try, March and October. His worship
vas directed by special priest, the
'eamen Martialis, and the College of the
;alii. The Emperor Augustus caused
lirn to be honored as Mars Ultor, the
1as raised to him in the Forum Au-
usti, 2 BIC. There statues of him and
f Venus, as the two divine ancestors of
he Julian family, were set up:
Nun1a, second King of Rome and
celebrated reformer, introduced the
aonths Of January and February. but
1arch remained the first month in
ONE quarters until the PRONUNCIATION
f the Julian calendar, 46 BIC In
eed, it continued to be the beginning of
ne legal year in England until 1752,
farch Is being New Year day. In
rance also it was counted the first
lonth until 1854, when, by an edict of
ling Charles TX, January was decreed

what is to follow the legalization of beer and the restoration of pros perity.
 The story centers about a re- spectable, middle class brewing family, who in 1916 are enjoying prosperity. When the war comes, the following year, two of the sons 20 oversee. Only one returns to join his father in the brewery busi- ness, that is soon blasted by pro- hibition.
 The legalization of beer seems to mark Q return to prosperity that they once enjoyed, but they soon find themselves confronted by a problem that all America may face during the next few months. The picture's solution is daring one.

"ScarIet Week. k.End"
 Plays at Garden

Scarlet weekend parties, featur- sing gin orgies and wild revels have become the fashion instead of the milder forms of amusement in which our youngsters used to in- dulge; and the new methods of amusement are rapidly increasing the ratio of scandals, divorces, sui eide and murder cases, as more and more of our young set turn to the &new social diversions.
 The evils of this mode of enter tainment, the heartbreak and re- morse which invariably results after these gin orgies, is the sub- ]. ject matter of a new feature pie turc titled "A Scarlet Week. End" which is showing the the New Gar den theater today and tomorrow. Heading the imposing list of ar lists are Dorothy Revier, Theodore yon E!tz, Phyllis Harrington. Niles Welch.

Bondage" a picture not recom- lnended for children under sixteen years of age because of it's general theme. heads the Strands program today and tomorrow. Dorothy Jordan is seen in the leading role of Judy Peters. The supporting cast includes Alexander Kirkland and other favorites. The tumultu- Ous experiences of a girl against whom society has pitted itself with, m unrelenting conscinece are those of hundreds of similar cases that up until now have been prominent because of their absence from our daily news and discussions.
 So deiicately is this motif spun and to such climactic height does It rise that for a moment one feels that life itself has been translated literally on the screen. Its types are so true and finely drawn that for once the cinema gives us a documentary work rather than an idyllic portrait.
 The story Is as simple or as com plex as life. The girl submits to the knowing cosmopolite. Her de- gradation Is a matter of time and finally she wanders off into the fog of despondency. She Is redeemed by young doctor who watches her life. from the sidelines.
 The companion feature Is "Mur- ders In The Zoo" with Charlie Ruggles, Lionel Atwill, Kathleen Burke and other favorites. A real new angle on mystery stories that is bound to delight Strand patrons who sec 1t.

Lionel Barrymore, star in Look ing Forward" heads the splendid double feature program at War ner's State to-day, tomorrow and Friday. Depicting an intensely hu- man story of the effects of the de- precision on rich and poor alike, the picture is stirringly enacted by Lionel Barrymore in the starring role, and a distinctive group of supporting players.
 Two Families Involved
 The story of Looking Forward" probes into the lives of two men and their families under the acid test of current business diversity. One of these men is the head of Q great London department store, the other is a plodding, honest old "worm" who had been employed by the firm for forty years as a bookkeeper.
 While tho latter, foced with the loss of his livelihood, finds his family rallying around him to make a new and better start in life, the store magnate is deserted by his | fiighty young wife and is on the brink of selling the store to a rival. When everything seems blackest, his children come for ward, and by their courage and loyalty help him to pull through Lionel Barrymore offers one oi the finest performances of his career as the old bookkeeper. a portrayal reminiscent of his char. acterization of Krinkelein ir "Grand Hotel" Lewis Stone is outstanding as the department store owner. and the picture Is fur. ther benefited by the competent work of Benita Hume, Elizabeth Allan, Phillips Holmes, Colir Give, Alec B.
