THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, APRIL FOOLERY. ODAY is the heyday of the wags, buffoons and zanies— the aay when they would make dupes and suckers of us all. Today the telephone at the Zoo will ring and blandly innocent voices will ask for “Mr. Lion” or “Mr. Wolf,” while the merry-andrews whe left notes for you to call those legen- dary personages will chortle in their corners. ‘The exact origin of April 1 as “All Fool's day” is not known. One ex- planation appears particularly logical. In 1564 Charles IX of France de- creed that the year should begin Jan- uary 1 instead of April 1, the day set aside for New Year's visits and gifts until the time of the reformed calendar. Some objected to the change, and because they insisted on still observing April 1 became the butt of jokes They received mock gifts, pretended calls of ceremony and invitations tc mock New Year cele- brations. Gradually the custom of duping perscns on April 1 spread to other countries. [Even the Hindus have their “Huli” celebration, on March 31, when persons are sent on futile errands to provide a laugh. * X X X TELEPHONE TEASERS. O A normal person, comfortably addicted to sanities in life, a daily list of queries received by one desk in The Star office reads strangely like April foolery. Such questions as those that follow pour in each and every day: “Is Texas as large as Russia?" “I heard Babe Ruth was dead. Is it true?” “I'm a stranger in tcwn. Where could I find a bridge game going on tonight?” e Q' Z lz “Is it all right to wear a white vest | with a tuxedo?” “I've always wanted to see a fili- buster. Is it true there's going to| be one at the Capitol next Thursday?” | “Who are the members of the cab- inet?” “Who are the Supreme Court jus- | tices?"” “Which is better—four of a kind or a straight flush?” “If it's noon in London, what time is it here?” | WHY, HELLO MARY!

T WAS the rush hour and the street car was fairly bristling with arms and legs of goers-home. Came a gentle tapping at the closed but bulging back door. The conduc- tor opened it. On the ground outside stood a little old lady. L “I want to pay my fare,” she said, handing the conductor a quarter and waiting patiently for her change. “Oh, yes, I've already had my ride. I just got off at the front end. When I got on I got pushed forward before I could pay.” * ok % % AD INGENUITY.
