Determined
Easter Date

Easter was originally dated to
suit the convenience of pilgrims who
needed moonlight in their annual
tricks to Resurrection festivities.
Footsore and weary, they plodded
both day and night to reach sacred
shrines for this observance. Hence
1t was decided that Easter shall
fall on the Sunday following the
first Paschal full moon after March
Fl. The occasion may therefore vary
over period of IS days-from
March % to April Is.
Lent, great period Of fasting in
Christian churches, grew from a
40-hour to a 40-day ritual as it
came down through the ages. While
most Christians commemorate
Good Friday as the day of the Cruel
fxion, Mohammedans also celebrate
1t as the day of Adams creation.
Among ancient Germans, this date
was sacred to the goddess-mother,
wife Of Odin.
The association of Easter Sunday
with the arrival of spring arises
from coincidence. The day oc-
ours almost simultaneously with the
ancient heather Roman celebration
of the vernal equinox.
Many customs have grown up
around the Easter observance. In
England, figs are always eaten on
Palm Sunday to commemorate Fac
cheus, the publican, who being cit
tie of STATURE" climbed into a tree
to see Jesus pass by the way
through Jericho.
Easter eggs and Dummies" are
traditions among American children
at this season of the year. In Ger
many, spring lambs are sold for
the Easter feast.

Selecting Indian Chiefs

In some tribes, such as the Iro-
quois and some Pueblo tribes, GER
tain chieftaincies were always Sc
lected from particular clan. While
there were hereditary chieftaincies
among certain other groups, as a
matter Of practice such offices were
usually elective. It is possible that
the political system of the Iroquois
influenced the democratic style
of government Of the United States.
Probably the only example in North
America of power analogous to
that of a despot was to be found
among the Natchez and neighbor-
ing tribes of the lower Mississippi.
In this instance submission to the
will of the chief was for the most
part voluntary and based on reli-
gion.

Dietitin1s Offers
Choice Menu for
Easter Banquet

Aside from its religious signifi-
canoe, Easter Sunday has always
marked actually as well as figura-
lively the end of a period of self
denial and fasting. Easter dinner,
therefore, should usher back to the
table some favorite foods that have
been given up during lent.
One dietitian's idea Of a perfect
Easter Sunday dinner follows:
Chicken bouillion with sliced mush-
rooms, melba toast
Celery Olives Radish roses
Hind quarter of spring lamb
Potato balls
Broccoli with wine, butter sauce
Fresh lima beans, hot rolls
Nodded cucumber salad
Toasted crackers
Fresh strawberry ice, served with
or without whipped cream

Not to have a graceful gait is to
mark one as awkward and con-

Tradition Links
Easter Bunny
With Neav Moon

Tradition abounds in the popular
American customs that surround
Easter eggs and "bunnies," IA
miliar to every child who has been
taught the occasions significance.
The connection between Easter
and the rabbit is said to come from
the fact that the hare is symbol
for the moon, which determines the
date of Easter. In Egyptian, the
name of the hare also means "to
open," hence the association of the
hare with the opening of new life at
spring festivals.
The egg is an obvious symbol Of
the spring awakening. The bright
colors of painted eggs symbolic
hues of the Easter sun and the joy
which follows the whiteness of win
ter. In Germany, where both Eas-
ter rabbits and eggs originated,
children are told that if they are
good a white hare will steal down
the chimney and hide brightly-col-
ored eggs in the house. In many
foreign places the Easter hare is
as important figure as Santa Claus
at Christmas.
If young men in some English
villages can catch hare and pre-
sent it to the parson before 10 a. m.
on Easter Monday, the rector is
bound by an old law to give them
100 eggs, a calls head and groat.
Egg rolling on the White House
lawn, a popular Easter custom at
Washington, began soon after the
close of the Civil war. Originally
the annual affair took place on the
Capitol terrace. When authorities
complained that children were
harming the turf, President Hayes
and his wife invited youngsters to
do their egg-rolling on the White
House lawn. The event has been
annual ever since.

Inc Dlodlng started out IN normal
manner. The first three bids were
elementary. South's two no trump
was what might be called a dual
purpose bid. First with fine fit
for his partners diamonds, he saw a
chance for game in the event that the
opponents had been fooling a little
Or even if his partners overcall was
weak. he realized that three diamonds
would be reasonably safe. With
minimum opening. West Of course,
passed, and Norths three no trump
can only be described as a gambling
but very brilliant bid. He decided
that South, his partner, must hold a
diamond At, and should 4 heart be
opened, they would take the first nine
tricks. If 1t should happen to include
the ace.
When East doubled, South Of course
did not run; he liked no trump as
we'll as anything else. And North,
having bid three no trump, decided to
stand by his guns, and he also passed
West opened the eight Of hearts,
whereupon declarer quickly ran his
nine tricks. making his contract, game
and rubber
The possibilities Of the hand are
interesting. For instance, if North
had simply bid three diamonds in
stead Of three no trump East and
West would probably have reached a
four-heart contract, which they could
have made without difficulty. But
let's see what perfect defense would
have done to three no trump doubled.
Suppose West had opened the king of
clubs and East played the eight.
Now West would continue with the
six and East would take the trick
with the jack, providing himself
with another entry. The nine OF
spades would be covered by de-
clarer's jack and won by Vests
queen. A third club lead would put
East in with the ace, and another
spade would be shot through de-
clarers king. Now West would make
all his spades and the king Of clubs,
