The experiment is In two parts, one

defined the paschal moon as ''the moon
whose fourteenth day followed the
spring equinox" But this ruling did
not settle all difficulties. The third
phase Of the controversy arose from
the divergent calendars and cycles In
vogue In the Eastern and Western
church centers. st. Augustine tells lis
that In the year 3S7 the churches Of
Gaul kept Easter on March Fl. those
of Italy on April 18, while the Egyp-
tan Christians celebrated April rs as
Easter day. The British and Irish
churches for long time adhered to
an ancient system OF computation,
though they observed Sunday as the
Easter day.
With the adoption Of the Metonic
cycle as d guide. the formula for fix
Ing the Easter date was determined
as "the first Sunday which occurs aft
er the first full moon. or. more accu-
rately, after the first fourteenth day
of the moon, following the 21st of
March, which is the vernal equinox"
AS result, the earliest possible date
OF Easter Is March 22, the latest

knowledge Of what these symbols
mean. yet they have continued these
old pagan customs.
AS to the colorlng of Easter eggs q
religious encyclopedia says. Because
the use of eggs was forbidden during
Lent they were brought to the table
on Easter day colored red to symbolic
the Easter Joy. This custom Is found
not only In the Latin, but also In the
Oriental churches. Christians are sup
posed to have adopted the egg-rolling
custom to symbolic the resurrection
and the eggs were colored red In al
lusIon to the blood of redemption.

The origin OF egg-rolling which most

begun centuries ago from the practice
Of farmers rolling eggs over their land
to be sure OF abundant yields at harvest

the pagan emblem OF the terminating

Ecclesiastical history preserves three
distinct phases relating to the sub

Eyes Supreme Court

Prior to the first of these decisions
there had been considerable concern
In administration circles about the
progressive versus conservative oil
vision of the high court. The brain
trust seriously contemplated having
congress enlarge the court Object
to have two more progressives ap-
pointed.
But Chief Justice Hughes seems TO
have definitely moved to the liberal
side, as result Of which there are
now five progresslves and four con-
seryatives. So the proposal to enlarge
the court was abandoned.
But the forward lockers are deter
mined to enlarge that majority the
first time a conservative retires.
There lies the rub. Joe Robinson
has always been regarded as con-
seryative. In his capacity as Dem
ocratic leader OF the senate, however,
he has sponsored or supported every
Roosevelt piece of legislation, no mat
ter how radical Hence they have be-
come, one might say, part OF his
creed. Which would make the brain
trusters willing to accept him, per-
haps bit grudgingly, as all right for
the high court.
Hence a statement on the floor,
which might have the effect OF post
ponIng for year enactment OF the
stock exchange regulation bill, so dear
TO the radical heart--and for that mat
ter a part of the Democratic platform
was not calculated to smooth Rob-
inson's path to the high court.
Especially as the President within
two days, had to reassure the press
that he still wanted the bill, and &C
