TO FIX EASTER DATE
Many times it has been proposed to establish a more
nearly uniform date for Easter Sunday, but tradition and
custom are hard to overcome, so the old method of calcu
lation, established by the Council at Nice more than 1,600
years ago, still prevails.
Under this system Easter may fall as early as March
22 or as late as April 25 and all moveable feasts of the
church are governed by the date of Easter.
Recently the British House of Commons passed a bill
proposing that the legal date of Easter shall be the first
Sunday after the second Saturday in April. It is not in—
tended that the British shall put this proposal into effect
alone, but the idea is to call a world conference to con
sider joint action of the nations on the subject.
There are many reasons, business and social, to com
mend the new plan, but inasmuch as such an innovation
would clash with long established religious custom it is
doubtful that it will be able to command support in ec
clesiastical circles. Without such support it could not be
given practical effect.
If the Marines ever catch him they will take the sand
out of Sandino. They must catch him first, however.
Considering the lying and bunk, political bedlam is a
natural result.
Governor A1 Smith will get off to a good start if he
can corral all the Smith vote.
Even if we cbuld see ourselves as others see us we
probably wouldn’t believe our own eyes.
Man wants but little here below, provided he is con
vinced that his neighbors have a little less.
We don’t doubt a bit that Lindbergh may yet be able
to make the ship of state run Without oil scandals.
The fellow who doesn’t get in on the ground flooi
sometimes turns out to be a second-story man.
A fellow surely has to keep his senses nowadays t(
get acquainted on a plea of insanity. Too, he has to kee]
his cents to keep his pockets from getting stale.

Buick fcr 1928 gets away in traffic like
an arrow from a bow!
Watch the Buicks next time you drive
downtown. See how easily they step out
in front when the signal changes. And
note how they give other cars the slip
in the friendly rivalry of traffic.
You cannot say you know the full
meaning of “performance” until you’ve
driven a Buick for 1928.
