my HOBBY
BECAUSE of his hobby, many events
in American history seem very
real to Arthur Mankin, 10, of Arcola,
Va. who writes:
Dear Editor;
Il have enjoyed reading the letters
about hobbies on the Junior Page Of
The Sunday Star. so I thought I
would write about mine.
My hobby is very interesting to me,
but very troublesome to my mother.
for often l do not get home in time
for my meals. I collect old bullets and
arrowheads of different varieties.
The bullets were used during the
Civil War. I go out in the recently
ploVed field and sometimes I hunt half
q day for them, Some are round,
others are pointed. The pointed ones
are called minnie balls Battles have
been fought where these bullets were
found. Our forefatfers made these
bullets in a mold The lead was
poured in when hot and let harden.
The Indians made their arrouhaads
from flint Of different colors. These
were very deadly When shot from a
bow. The arrowheads are much older
than the bullets.

THE quaint little village Of STRAIT
ford-on-Avon in England to-
day is closely linked with events
which took place there many years
ago-the birth, life and death of
William Shakespeare.
The most revered building in the
village Is the simple gabled wooden
house on Henley street in which
the Bard Of Avon" was born in
1564-on April %, many his
torians say. This house, which
now belongs to the British gov
eminent, has been restored to its
original state and the ground
floor is used as a museum and liz
brary. Narrow, dark stairs lead
to the little room on the second
floor where the poet was born.
Shakespeare was a lover of ma
ture and flowers, and in a garden
beneath the windows of his room
are grown many Of the flowers
mentioned in his plays, such as
rosemary for remembrance, pam
sizes for thoughts"
Many other buildings In the viii
lage have been restored so that
they now look as Shakespeare knew
them. And his remains rest under
the altar Of Trinity Church. where
he worshiped, with the following
epitaph to mark the spot:
Good friend for Jesus sake for

Egg and Rabbit
In Easter Tales
HAVE you ever been curious about

HAVE you ever been curious about
= = the origin Of the Easter rabbit
or Easter eggs?
Well. here's an explanation of the
occasion and the decorations that go
with 1t. The word Easter in Anglo
Saxon languages comes from Ostara
or Eastre, who was one Of the spring
gods OF the ancient Norsemen.
In these Northern regions the sun
disappeared completely during the
coolest winter months. Then when
spring came again. q great festival
was held to celebrate her return.
To the ancient Norsemen this was
a season Of new birth, and from this
festival rose the symbols of the Easter
egg and the Easter rabbit. The color
ing OF the eRgs-red. blue, yellow, etc
CAME from the rays of Northern
lights and the various hues of the
Easter sun.

COPING REQUIRED
FOR PARKING LOT
ISSUE IN COURT
.0wner's Rights Involved
In Testing D. c. Law

The United States Court OF Ap-
peals is to decide the right of a
property owner to use his property
for parking automobiles without
complying with a District regula-
ton requiring concrete coping
around the premises.
Ralph M. Utterback, proprietor
of a filling station at Georgia
Avenue and V Street Northwest
was convicted by Police Court
Judge Edward M. Curran late yes
terday on a charge of violating
the regulations.
PLANS TO APPEAL
Through his attorney, Vincent
L. Toomey, he announced he would
ask the Court of Appeals to re-
view the case.
Utterback, according to the evi-
dence, has been parking vehicles
on his property during athletic
events at Griffith's Stadium and
was arrested when police found
he had no license.
He testified that his application
for license had been rejected be
cause of his refusal to erect the
required coping. Such a coping
he explained, would be a public
hazard because the area was gen.
orally used by pedestrians as a
shortcut to the stadium.
FEARS LIABILITY
If the coping regulation is en-
forceable, it should be placed on
that portion of the abutting prop
erty owned by the District. his at
torney contended, so the private
owner would not be held liable for
damages that might be sustained
by his compliance with the regu-
lation.
