Proymj Her Point

an lias been trying to prove her point.
She wishes to convince the world that
she is indeed lhe female of the spe
cies.’ .. , •-j-—.
Mrn has had the same idea, hut It
has worked in different ways. Jle has
assumed that he could prove his point
by fighting battles and building cities.
But woman has had to go at the
point of life in her own way. Alan
wants to discover the North pole.
Woman will he satisfied if she can
find a husband. For it is the husband
.who proves the point in womans life.
This idea in woman’s brain has em
phasized the importance of matrimony.
Woman herself has been so stuck on
the idea of being “The Wife” that she
has consented to be one among a large
number, as in the days of Solomon or *
Brigham Young.
To be the. wife of a Grade A hus
band is the laudable ambition? of any
Woman, but just to be wife, along with
a lot of other deluded dames, is an- j
other matter. But woman ePoeso’t 1
marry for the sake of getting a man.
She marries for the sake of getting: ’

The crown worn by Queen Elizabeth
or the tiara of the star actress is all j
right in its way, but the average worn- j
an prefers a wtdding ring, even when J
it has to be bought on the installment

was the thing that the woman wished- ,
to get rid of as soon as possible. '
Woman can now prove her point in >■
other than matrimonial ways. The j

Big Dipper is the limit, for vve can
go as far-as vve like.--. , t . - ‘ ’•

rent and till, the place with tobacco

selves. If we can’t find a man to lead
around, it's always possible to get a
dog on a string.
Woman proved one point in her life
when she set up housekeeping, hut she
is proving another now that she has
gone into business.
It’s a pity that, vvith all our mod
ern inventions, vve can’t manufacture
some new aim for woman’s life, but
this is the thing she’s doing for her
self.

Bre’r Rabbit
Long Friend
of Children
A little'animal known' as Bre’r Bah
hit handles ail of the business in
-olden* to the delivery of Easter eggs t<»
the children. He builds nests, colors
e; gs and does all of the general work
necessary to youthful happiness. Os
.course, you may believe the Easter
rabbit a modern institution. We: think
his popularity is of comparatively re
cent promotion but —say, listen —Bre’r
Rabbit vv : as in the egg frade centuries
before JoJ Chandler Hay is ever ijjgde
Georgia famous, says William Her
schell, writing in the Indianapolis
Want to know about Bre’r Rabbit as
an Easter Institution? Well, tradition
reports that this versatile little egg
distributor was In business before the
Christian era. He has surrounded
himself with many legends that date
hack into the pagan era, long before
the birth of Christ, yet Buster eggs
are supposed to symbolize the Resur
rection and the rebirth of nature.
one ranges hack through history
nnd tradition the connection of the
rabbit vvith Easter becomes more mys
terious. Here is one story, there is an
other. They# seem at counterpoint,
and one may toy with the different
legends as lie chooses. Sue Brady,
delver into mythology, says:
Why the Easter Bunny?
“Into the beauty of Easter symbol
ism the Easter rabbit and the load of.
brightly-colored eggs which he car
ries for good children hops as a sorr
of quaintly- comic relief. Why, ask
the curious, should .».sleek, fat fnrnny
and colored eggs be connected with
a festival which celebrates the resur
rect ibn of .lesus Christ? There seems
at first glance to be no possible rela
tion between this picturesque whimsy
*and the great spiritual significance
of the day. - '•> ' ' :: :
“Yes, all over'the world the Easter
rabbit and' the eggs which he brings
are, to the children at least, as fm
iportnnt to the celebration as masses
and ant|iems and church chimes.
‘‘ln Germany wee Hans and'
Gretchen hold him in almost as great
veneration as they do Kris Kringle.
for, like the jolly Christmas saint, he
only visits good children. In Russia
grownups as vveli as children greet
each other on Easter Sunday and for
seven days thereafter with an ex
change of colored eggs. In Italy on
Easter eve, pious families carry great
howls full of eggs to the priest for his
blessing. Easter morning these howls
surrounded by decorations adorn the
■('enter of the table. During the week
any'visitor who may drop in eats an
\ egg with' the hostess.
.. Egg Hunts Popular.
“In England and the United States
egg hunts are popular. One of the
major national events of the year
to the children in Washington, is the
egg rolling on the grounds of the
White House under the watchful eyes
of the President nnd the First Lady ol
the Land.
“A dusty scroll preserved in the
Tower of London contains the
household accounts of Edward 1
of England. One entry made short
]y before Easter is for eighteen
pence (thirty-six cents) to buy
400 eggs for the Easter celehra
tion in the royal household. Outshh
of the purely economic interest to the
student of comparative prices, this
item indicates to a certain extent the
age of our inodern custom.
•“But none.of these .explain the whj
of the custom. A,s a-'maHer of fact,
the origin of the rabbit and the eggs
is very difficult to trace. Most fesfi
val customs have some specific per
gou or event, to which they can he at
tributed. Not so the rabbit. The proc
ess by which lie attached himself to
Easter and gained a lasting affection
in the hearts of millions of children
is obscure and the only explanations
which can he offered for him are
. pretty far-fetched.”
v William S. Walsh, .nationally known
authority on mythology, was asked
to give his, version of the origin of the
Easter rabbit. He made this report:
“The connection between 'Easter
and the hare springs from the hare's
connection "with the” moon. Easier,
since its date depends on the moon,
is in a sense, a lunar holiday. Now
.. from very ancient' times the hare lias
v n symbol for the moon. There are
many reasons for this. A few only
need be given. The hare is a nocturnal
' animal comes out at night to
feed, Tfce fgniale carries her young for
a month, thus representing the lunar
Hare arid the MoOrf. '*"*’*'
“Both hare and moon were thought
to have the power of changing theif
set. The new moon was rtfa'schline',
the waning moon feminine, fruf tr
more Important reason for the' fdentf
fleatloYi of the hare with the tYioOW
lay In the fact that Its young are born 1
with their eyes open, unlike rabbits 1 ,
which are born blind.
“The name of ttie hare In Egyptian
was ‘un.’ meaning ‘open.’ Now, the
moon was the open-eyed watcher of
the skies at night and the hare, horn
with open eyes, whs fabled never to
close them; hence the identification
of the open-eyed hare vvith the full
moon. The old principle of cure 'by
sympathies led to the prescription in
early English folklore of the brains
and eyes of the hare as a cure of
somnolency.
Egyptian Belief. ■ I
“Tim Egyptian ‘un’ meant not only
‘hare’ qnd ‘open’ but also ‘period,’ and
for this reason the hare became the
type of periodicity both human and
- lunar, and in the character of opener
was associated with the opening' of :
the new year at Easter as well as with
the beginning of a new life In the
youth, and. maiden* Hence the hare
became connected in the popular mind
with the paschal eggs broken to signify
the opening of the year.”
Sterling Helig traces the colored
egg far beyond the resurrection of the
Savior, going back to pagan days when
a gilded egg was a symbol of good
luck to a pagan monarch. Whether
laid by hen or hare, a gilded egg—no
matter who the magician that gilded
it —was significant of good luck if it
appeared at a ruler’s table when trou
blous days were upon the monarch. Os
course that was far beyond the Chris
tian era, yet It all goes to prove that
we’ve always been crazy about colored
eggs.
EASTER HARVEST
Easter bunnies make whoopee -on
Easter morn. Here is an astonishing
discovery made on a front lawn.

WHAT IS AN OPTIMIST?
We asked our friend Si Chestnut. He said:
“An optimist is the fellow who buys shares
in an oil company that hasn’t even a hole in
the ground.”
That’s the trouble with a good many of
these so-called “investments.” They are not
investments at all, but they exist because they
are profitable to the sharks who PROMOTE
them. It pays to consult your banker when
wanting to obtain good securities. Take no
chances on any of these get-rich-quick
schemes. They are operated for one purpose
—to get your money.

New Methods Adopted
In Chilean Industry
Production of Nitrate Fertilizer in
Sun-Parched Desert Is
Speeded Up.
AMERICAN engineers are helping
to revolutionize an industry up
in the sun-parched mountains of
northern Chile.
The application of modern methods
of mass production is making the
Chilean nitrate industry a model of
20th century efficiency, according to
Conrado Rios Gallardo, former Chilean
Secretary of State, who was a recent
visitor to the United States before be
coming his country’s ambassador to
Peru.
With the elimination of waste and
the use of labor-saving machinery, a
marked decrease, he said, has been
made in the cost of producing the
fertilizer under the difficult conditions
found in the arid desert.
“Never before has the nitrate indus
try occupied as strong a position as it
does today,” declared Ambassador
Gallardo. “Not only have the mechani
cal processes been vastly improved,
but the production has been stabilized
to the benefit of both the producers
and the consumers of this fertilizer.”
The Chilean Government has taken
an energetic part in the improvement
of the industry. It has aided the pro
ducers through legislative enactment

Chilean nitrate, their consumption dur

1,000,000 tons annually.
.The nitrate fertilizer was first
shipped to this country in 1830. It

occupies the honor of being the oldest
of the commercial fertilizers.
