Primarily it is a religious festival, Christian- ity’s rallying day, on which the wise wandering | sheep return to the fold to hear inspiring sermons} that give many a new lease on life. j The spirit of Easter is the spirit of the Resur- rection — of ‘spring — the awkening of life, hope and happiness after the long death of winter. In} this sense, the’ Easter season'!s observed even in heathen countries. The budding lily and the Eas- ter egg are symbolic, of the eternal re-birth of life. Lect us strive, this Easter, to resurrect the best thope, tolerance and Christian kindness to our fellows, striving to extend the glad spirit of Eas- ter until it permeates all days of the year. : MELTING POT New York City finds that it has 994,356 Rus- sians, 802,893 Italians, 637,744 Irish, 603,167 Austrians and Hungarians, and 593,199 Germans, If these various races were living in Europe, each in its separate country, they’d be armed to the teeth and periodically spring at each other’s throats. i In the American melting pot, they are peaceful | neighbors. ‘The solution of Europe’s troubles, is| a United States of Europe. Eventually there will be a United States of the World. Nietzsche, victim of diseased adrenal glands, had one sensible idea—that the way to end war is to band all nations together so there’s no out- . CLOWNS For the first time in 30 years Al Miaco, famous clown, fails to take part’ in the season’s first per- formance of the world’s greatest circus in Madison Square Garden, New York. Most of the philosophy of life is condensed in Al’s fate. He is 77 years old, so his name is stricken off the list of performers. Whether, in the great circus of life, you area clown, a lion tamer or an acrobat, the day is stead- ily approaching when a younger “act” will take your place. ' All people at times become confused and think the world’s gone to pot. ‘They do not realize that! all that’s wrong is that they’re getting older. PENNY INCREASE Standdrd Oil Company, more interested in the present than in the hereafter, raises the price of gasoline in Chicago district a cent and a half a/ gallon. That increase, applied all over the country, would increase the nation’s yearly gasdline bill: A penny, one way or the other in gasoline price, '“medicine man” or an. “oracle.” 40. years, in the spiritualistic world, then..moves on to a higher plane, says Conan Doyle, who as- serts he has talked with the dead. ' This sort of speculative philosophy does not ap- peal to the average Christian, for it is a form of Brahmanism. The Brahmans of one school believe in trans- migration of souls—deeds in this life determining conditions in the next, with the wicked born again as outcasts or unclean, animals, the good passing on to the moon to work out their eventual salvation through a-series of existences, then back to earth as a plant, later reborn as a man of one of the three higher castes. Theextremely gocd Brahman attains Nirvana— as refined as gasoline. . GERMAN MARKS If you are holding a basket of German marks the news from Berlin is sad. In the last week of March, Germany added 8,496,000,000 marks to its paper currency in circulation. This sort of inflation is the reason why Ger man commodity prices advanced an average of 20 per cent in March.’ When prices are low, money is hard to get. When money is plentiful, prices are high. The system gets us, coming and going. It’s a gambling game, with a permanent clean-up only for the gentleman who salts it away while salting is good. GUN TOTING . The revolver is the cause of. 95 per: cent of crimes, says Judge Joliti' O'Connor, Chitago. “Take away the guns and you'll stop most of the crime. Stop, the manufacture of the guns. |Then you have the answer to the crime problem.” That is 80 pefcent true. With no revolvers available, crooks—all of whom are cowards, since they haven’t the courage'to fight the battle of life honestly—might in some cases revert to spears and war-clubs. , Most of them, however, would be restrained by fear if they didn’t have sure death ag their backers. NATIONAL DEBT Uncle Sam has bought up and retired $3,624,- 273,150 worth of Liberty bonds and Victory notes. Partly counteracting this are a lot of cer- tificates of indebtedness—money borrowed in ad- vance of tax payments, to pay bills. ‘The national debt, however, has been reduced $2,705,377,408 from its peak of Aug. 31, 1919, and now totals $23,144,616,493. 2 If the same rate of reduction is continued, the whole national debt will be wiped out in 1944. SPIRITUALISM A Conan Doyle, who made Sherlock Holmes the {most famous detective in history next to Nick Carter, arrives. in New York. Doyle has tackled the job of converting Amer- ica to spiritualism, in which he is a firm believer. Previous generations would have called him’ a Now he is a “scientist.” Succeeding generations basically do the same old things and make the same old quests, over;.and over. VALUE A one-cent stamp, printed by British Guiana in 1865, is sold in Paris for $32,077. For that much money, you could buy a diamond big enough to look as if a small hen had laid it. Values are usually fictitious—imaginary. So, teo, are most things in human life, especially emo- tions and so-called knowledge.

I believe your mother would take to her no end. And she'd just love your mother.” ¥ VI It was from Twyning that Sabre had heard that a post of some ‘sort was being constiderdd for Piffie Bright. Her father, as he had told young Perch, was works” foreman’ at Fortune, East .and Sabrejs. “Mr. Bright,” A massive old man with a massive, rather striking face hewn be- neath:a bald dome and thickly grown all about and down the throat with stiff. white hair. He was intensely re- ligious and he had the deep-set and extraordinarily penetrating eyes that frequently denote the religfous zea- lot. (Extraordinary that (sch a stern and hard old man should -have for a daughter such a fresh and lovable slip of a young thing as his Effie! Bright Effie, Sabre always called her, inverting her names. Mr. Bright had a little cupboard called his office at the foot of the main stafrway and Bright Effie came often to see her father there. Sabre had spoken to her in the little cupboard or just out- side it. He had! delight in watching the most extraordinary shining that she had in her eyes. It was like reading an entertaining book, he used to think, and he had the idea that humor of that rarest kind. which is ‘unhoanded love mingled with unbounded sense of the oddities BY CONDO of life was packed to bursting within er, Some such apprehension of ,hér Sabro had expressed to. Twyning. Twyning had given a short ‘laugh and said, “You seem to have been thinking a lot about the fair Effie!” The kind of laugh and the kind of wemark that Sabre hated and he Gave a slight gesturs which Twynins well knew meant that he hated it. “What's old Bright going ‘to do with her?” “He doesn't quite know. H's an idea of getting her out as.a sort of lady’s companion somewhere.” , “ This is what, Sabre had remem= bered; and he wont straight from young Perch to Twyning and re- called the conversation. * Twyning. said, ‘Hullo, still inter- ested in the fair Effie?” “It’s for young Perch over at Ponny Green I'm asking. For his mother. He’s a young man"—Sabre permitted his eyes to rest for'a moment on Har- cld, seated at his dosk—f‘and he feels ho‘ouzht to join the army. He wants the girl to be with h's mother while he’s away.” Twyning, noting the glance. ~ changed ‘his tone~to one of much friendliness.” “Oh, I see, old man. No, Effie’s got nothing yet. She was over to our place to tea last Sunday,” “Good. I'll go and talk to old-Bright. I’m keen about this.” ‘ “Yes, you seem to be, old man.” 4 Vil Mr. ‘Bright received,tho suggestion with a manner that irritated Sabre. While he was being told of the ‘Perches he stared at Sabre with that penetrating gaze of his as though in the proposal he searched for some motive other than common friendli- ness. His, first comment was. cee want references, I suppose, sir?! Sabre smiled. “Oh, scarcely, Mr. Bright. ‘Not when they know who you are.” The old man: was standing before Sabre bending his head close towards him as though he would sense out some hidden mgtive behind all this. He contracted his. great brows. as if to squeeze more penetration into his gaze. “Yes, but I’ll want references, (Mir.

Doyle believes a sui-| cide’s spirit, when it leaves the body, carries with | it all the suffering that led to the self-taking of life. In other words, we might as well handle our problems now. If we do not, they’ll have to be tackled in the hereafter. The majority does not agree with some of Conan Doyle’s views. But one thing is certain: Problems in this earthly life can be dodged by procrastinators, but only temporarily. There is always a day,of reckoning. And the longer a| problem is put off, the harder it is to solve.| There’s no lasting escape. Everything involved in human life grows with time. Problems grow like asparagus. After the soul leaves the body, it dwells 30 to. the first evening on which Binil Oberhoffer waved his baton over. the ..newly organized Symphony Orchestra. It has been’a pleasant and profitable |journey along a delightful road. We-have grown lin cultural understanding. We have i learned to recognize and enjoy the best musical thoughts of great ccmposers. We have watched the growth of Minneapolis as a musical center, and have seen students come in constantly increasing numbers jin search of instruction and culture. Now after nineteen years has come the parting of the ways, and Mr. Oberhoffer, who has had so jarge a share in-this work, who has himself grown iin musicianship with the growth of the Orchestra and the growth of the City is to go a different way. All Minneapolis wishes him well, and feels sor- row over his departure. Mr. Oberhoffer has done a great work. . His artistic leadership has been of inestimable value to this community. The Orchestra, which has come to be so vital a factor in the. life of the City, will go on to new achievement. There are fields of new usefulness for it to occupy. There is golden opportunity to bring together in fruitful co-operation all the musical interests that center here, and to estab- lish a closer relationship of mutual helpfulness | between them and Orchestra. Just as a sugges-' ticn of what might be accomplished in this line, why could not the Orchestra give special educa- itive concerts for the students of our various music schools?
