An Annual Disease

A subscriber writes to ask
what will chase ghosts, gnomes
and SO forth from a house. He
says that when he gets home in
the evening he finds things dis
turbed. His radio will stop play
ing and when he goes near it it
will resume At night, dogs and
cats make strange sounds and
there is a rapping on doors and
windows The police have tried
to be helpful, but are making no
headway.s The letter is signed:
IS. o. S."
We have known of situations
like this which were traced to
mice, and one that was attributed
to ivy growing into the house.
However, coming at this time, the
symptoms suggest another condi-
ton, and before going off half
cooked, we should like further
particulars. Does S. o. S. have
spots before the eyes, a sense OF
heaviness after, during and before
meals? Is his eye dull? Does he
lack interest in things and people
around him? Does he feel that
he would have to get up and go
away, if he had the energy to
move? Does he forget keys and
where he was to have met his
wife? .,
Il the answer to all this is yes,
we have no hesitancy in saying
the condition in debate is gpring
fever. The crisis Of the disease
commonly comes in April, but it
is not too seon now TO expert
ence the early manifestations.
These are caused by photographs

SIOUimg .DOt1n

One of the fundamental ideas
of the church period Of Lent, is
that people should live less fever
ishly, and give less time to the
excitements Of society. For many
years there was a distinct 1et-up
during that period in parties and
dances. The church preached the
doctrine that the excited pursuit
of pleasure should be checked,
while people meditated on the
meaning Of life.
It is hard TO induce people to
do any meditating in these times.
Modern life is not suited to re-
Election. The favorite motto is
tGo it while you're young" and
many continue to go it until they
are old.
It is the age Of speed. You
realize that when you go out on
the roads with car, and see peo
pie who used to be shocked when
an automobile ran Is miles an
hour, now driving their cars 50
and 60 miles per hour without 9
qualm. Our people are impatient
with slow motion.
There are, OF course, plenty o.
folks who live quiet lives. Dur
ing the past few years, whex
money has not been too plentiful
it has been cheaper to stay al
home, and for many there wa
not much else to do. Such folk
do not have to worry about slow
ing down. Something that would
start them up would do then
more good.
However, the prevailing temp<
of the American people is one o
haste. There are more people
who live too fast than there arr
Of those who live too slow.

Volcanic Riches

Active volcanoes are associated
with death and destruction, but
extinct ones are frequently the
sources OF great wealth, as was
explained recently at a gathering
of scientists in Washington. This
wealth may be in the form of
gold, silver, diamonds or oil.
Perhaps the richest deposit OF
volcanic gold ever found was that

During Lent it is considered
desirable by the churches observ-
ing it that their members abstain
from food each fasting day until
evening; also that the season be
marked by frequent attendance
at worship and increased dill
gence in works of charity.
Various degrees of strictness
have prevailed from time to time,
and exceptions have generally
been made according to the ply
steal needs of certain individuals.
Indulgence in worldly amuse-
ments is considered unsuitable to
the Lenten season which is OBJ
served throughout ChTigtendom,
particularly by the Roman Cath.
Ole, Anglican and Lutheran
churches.

The Fast of Lent

When the custom Of observing
the annual period Of fasting
known as Lent Began is not
known with certainty, but 1T orig
mated early in the life Of the
church, probably in the latter
part of the second century after
Christ.
In the past the time Of Observ-
ance and the number of days in
cluded in the Lenten season have
varied widely, and these matters
were long the subject Of serious
controversy among ecclesiastical
authorities.
At first it appears from the
writings of early fathers of the
church, only one or two days of
fasting were prescribed. By the
fourth century, periods OF three,
six and even seven weeks were
observed in various countries,
with varying customs with re.
spect to the continuity of the
fast.
As at present established, Lent
is fast of forty days, not includ.
ing Sundays, beginning with
Ash Wednesday and ending the
Saturday before Easter. This year
Ash Wednesday fell on March z,
and Easter falls on April IL.

Life Begins

Life doesn't really begin at 40,
as we have been told by a prac-
teal philosopher Life really be-
gins when a yellow crOcus pushes
the earth aside, shoots out into
daylight and bursts into bloom, to
be followed shortly afterward by
a tulip and a daffodil, while a
robin stands hard by, an admiring
witness to the emergence, and a
bluegirl sounds a welcome.
In fact, life ig beginning just
now because the vernal equinox
has arrived with all OF it's tradi-
tional treasures-blue skies, soft
zephyrs, warm and friendly sun
birds and, in the near future, buds
and Blossoms, all designed by the
Great Master of the Universe to
add joy to life.
But the new season has it's
practical phases which cannot be
ignored. All seriOus-minded per.

sponeibility will soon busy them.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. (UP)--

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. (UPJ@
The Republican party turned back
the 6-year New Deal tide in Tues
days general elections, and today
again was a major political force
capable of giving Democrats lot
fight for the presidency in 1910.
Although the Republicans cap
tured important political posts IN
many strategic states as the ma
ton swung to the right of the New
Deal, Democrats retained control
of both houses Of congress and
possession of more than one-half
of the 4s gubernatorial posts.
Virtually complete reports from
the off-year election presented
this picture:
Republicans won eight addition
al senate seats and their candi-
date was leading in a neck-and-
neck race in Indiana. In Iowa, the
hotly contested senate race ap-
peared settled last night with the
reelection of Guy M. Gillette.
A total of 1862 Republicans had
