doubt it was considered so by His

is evidenced by the record that "a

Make This Resolution

BY this time lot of the reso-
lutions that were so shining
bright on New Years Day are
badly bent or broken.
Maybe your resolutions were
too lofty to allow of human frail-
ties. We'd like to suggest another
resolution that is both easy and
profitable to keep.
It's just this: Read the adver-
tisements regularly in The Ha-
gerstOwn Globe
Sounds childishly simple, doesn't
it? But it makes sense when you
stop to think about it.

The Easter celebration has
grown out on two different though
related ideas. One is that of re
ioicing at the coming of spring.
from earliest history, people have
felt happy when dreary Old Man
Winter took his flight. The an
Gent peoples kicked up their
heels in joyful merriment at their
spring festivals. There was an old
tradition that on these days the
sun danced in the heavens. Prob
ably the people did so much dane
ing and feasting, that everything
around looked unsteady.
The heart Of the mdOern Easter
is the celebration Of the resurrec-
ton of Jesus. That event is so
far back in history, that it is diff
fcult for the modern world to Wis
ualize it. Did the risen Jesus ap-
pear in flesh and blood, did he
appear in a spiritual presence, or
did his followers see glorious Wis
ions which convinced them he had
passed unframed through the
tragic portals Of death?
One thing seems absolutely
clear, that something happened at
that date which changed all hui
man history. Where the disciples
Of Jesus had been but a feeble
little band, unknown outside a
few tiny villages, they became his
toric figures. Somehow they got an
inspiration that led them to go
out and conquer the world. And
wherever they have gone. the
the world has become better.
The world is still very far from
attaining the ideals preached by
the Man of Nazareth. We can not
tell what the Christian faith
might do for it has never really
been tried on any large scale. We
see many true Christians, but hui
man society still remains largely
pagan Easter gives us a glimpse
of a world that might be better
if it would take Christian ideas
seriously.

grace-filled time of Lent.
The BIuSterer

Though his role in the play of
the months is that of the lion.
March, on the word of no less au-
thority than the poets themselves,
does more than roar.
William Norris, looking beneath
t rough mien of March and un-
dismayed by his mighty voice,
wrote:
Slayer Of the winter art thou
here again?
O Welcome thou that bring'st
the summer nigh
The bitter wind makes not the
victory vain.
Nor will we mock thee for the
faint blue sky.
And when but Gin the wild
March morning" did Tennyson
hear the trees begin "to whisper?''
The poets. of course are not al
ways first among the realists.
They have nevertheless. the gift
of looking beneath surfaces and
seeing things hidden from ordin-
airy mortals' eyes. So be not too
sure that they are not right in
what they say of this clustering
fellow March. Maybe winter is
net yet done; maybe there are
still rough winds. sharp with cold,
ahead of us. But for all of such
chances who does not leave the
latchstring out for the rough old
fellow who knows the secrets of
the snow drops and the crocuses?

He has long been the Senate
watchdog against propaganda to get

stem in two as the Gallup polls

The grim and resolute California
Senator was the author of the bill
for no more loans to defaulting

dering the last year or two, but any
suggestion of American participa-
ton in overseas doings is apt to
provoke him to shrill, vehement ut
terance. His political career began
in 1910 in campaign to isolate the
Southern Pacific Railroad-or kick
the Southern Pacific out of politics"
as Mr.. johnson put it. The kicking
out came off as advertised and Mr..
johnson was one of the best Gov
ernors the State ever had and there
after, for about 10 years to date,
United States Senator.
He would have been President had
he not refused the vice presidential
nomination which Calvin Coolidge
accepted. His career has been some

and brooding in the Senate-mellow
and amiable at home with his dogs
and his pipe and his friends.

found traders somewhat puzzled
about just what Mr. Pierson was
doing. Wheat, corn and cotton are
the only important agricultural
surpluses. We could move a lot
OF sugar and copper, but they are
only partially home-produced and
not surpluses in the ordinary sense
of the word. Wheat seems to be
moving itself, and, for some reason,
for which this inquirer could get no
satisfactory answer, cotton isn't the
war baby it used to be- Could it
be that Mr.. Persons mission is
service rather than salesmanship?
Trade Emissary.
For several years Mr.. Pierson has
been our trade emissary in the Far
East, in South America, and now in
Europe, and has figured in several
fast double plays by the State De-
partment and Commerce Depart
ment by which credit has been en-
ployed judiciously in bolstering our
position abroad-notably in the
Brazil deal of last February, which
sconed a goose egg for Nazi Ger
many. Rarely soaring above the
headline horizon, Mr.. Pierson is
possibly more important parsonage
in our world orientation than he
would appear to be from the occa-
sional and casual attention he gets
in the newspapers.
In the Harvard Law School he
planned a career as trade expert,
but was sidetracked into a Los An
geles law practice. This, however,
became somewhat specialized in his
chosen field and, when an intra-
mural New Deal row eased out
George N. Peek as president Of the
Export-Import Bank Mr.. Pierson
succeeded him.
In 1887 he made quick dash to
China, Jump or two ahead Of the
British, on some big machinery and
road-building deals. Before his ele-
vation to the presidency he had been
general counsel for the bank. He
thinks Uncle Sam ought to be ring
ing doorbells and taking orders all
over the world.

u. S. Citizens Held
Within Rights to
Travel on Athena

American citizens seeking to
get out of the European war
zone had a right to travel on
the torpedoed British liner,
Athena, in the opinion of stu
dents of American neutrality
legislation here today.
Although the Neutrality Act
places restrictions on travel by
Americans on belligerent ships
after the President has issued
the neutrality proclamation,
the law states specifically that
these provisions shall not apply
to an American citizen whose
voyage was begun in advance of
the proclamation and who mad
no opportunity to discontinue
his voyage.
1t also provides specifically
that these restrictions would
not apply for 80 days after such
a proclamation to citizens re-
turning from q foreign state to
the United States.

Many Virginia Women
Become 'Hondymen'

BY the Associated Press.
BLACKSBURG, Va, Sept. a.
Many Virginia farm women are be-
coming the "handyman" around
their homes.
With the help of county home
demonstration agents and v. P. I.
specialists, they are constructing
"homemaker's tool boxes" filling
them with useful implements, and
repairing things about the home that
men seem never to get around to.
The result, says Miss Sallye Ham,
ilton, home me-improvement specialist
at v. P. l.. is that they not only are
repairing things themselves but also
are getting the whole family inter-
ested in such improvements.

that as far as possible old employees
of the auto-rail line will either be
assigned to buses or given other
duties or an effort will be made to
obtain work for them elsewhere. A

Sinking Shocks England.
News of the disastrous sinking Of
the Athena on the first night of the
war shocked England deeply.

pages of the London newspapers
basic facts of the conflict just start
ing. Especially it refreshed memo
ries of the Lusitania sinking in
1915 and the part that tragedy
played in bringing the United
States into the last war.
London afternoon newspaper plac-
ards screamed the news OF the total
number of Americans aboard the
Athena, to the exclusion, of other
details.
Shortly before l pm. q am, E.
S. T) the ministry of information
stated the Athena was torpedoed
without warning" adding that
"such action is in direct contraven-
ton of rules regarding submarine
warfare by which Germany is
bound"
Germany is a party to the proto-
col by a number of powers seeking
to humanize submarine warfare. This
protocol provides that the captain OF
an attacking submarine must put the
passengers, crew and papers of
victim ship in a place of safety be-
fore any attack is made.
Under the protocol a place Of
safety" does not mean lifeboats in an
open sea unless land is close or un-
less rescue ships are standing by to
take passengers and crew aboard.
The ministry of information said
"A ships boats, according to the
rules, were not to be considered a
place of safety unless within . half
hours pulling distance from land in
favorable conditions"
The submarine agreement first was
signed at London, November 8, 1896,
on behalf of Britain, the United
States and France. Germany ad-
hered it it in 1887.

was the fact that rescue operations
were aided by the Athenia's more
than adequate lifeboat seats.
1t also was presumed that Capt.
Cook had been rescued before he
sent his latest message, and that he
would not have left the ship until
the last passenger or crewman alive
was off it.
The captain and most of his crew
of 246 were Glasgow men. Some of
them had been in vessels torpedoed
in the first World War.
Bound for Montreal.
The Athena sailed Saturday from
Liverpool, bound for Montreal.
Capt. James Reid, marine superin-
tendent of the Donaldson Line. said
"a large percentage of passengers, I
believe, were people returning to
America on account of the crisis"
He said the vessel had lifeboats
to care for 1880 passengers and had
sailed from Liverpool loaded with
1000 tons of cargo.
The incident recalled the Lusitania
disaster in the World War. The
British liner was sunk by a German
U-boat OF Queenstown (now Cobh)
Ireland, May 7, 1915, with a loss
of 1,198 lives. Among those lost ia
were Americans.
(Stephan Early, secretary to
President Roosevelt, said in
Washington official reports in
dicated the Athena was carry
ing mostly Canadians and some
Americans"
I'D like to point out" he said,
that according ito official infor-
nation the ship had come from
Glasgow to Liverpool and was
bound for Canada, bringing refu-
gees.
CT point this out to show that
there was no possibility, accord
ing to ofilcial information, that
the ship was carrying any NUM-
tions, or anything of that kind.)
The ship is registered at GLASGOW
Scotland, where she was built In
1882. She was recently recondi.
toned on an extensive scale involv.
ing reconstruction Of her entire
passenger quarters.
The announcement was issued by
