Egg Long Emblem of the Resurrection Joyous Easter The Care of Her Family Weigh Heavily Upon the Energies of a Mother There ure mauy legends concerning the origin of the Easter egg, nnd as It is one of the few remaining customs that are still observed and which are closely connected iu our thought with Easter, to trace its beginnings is interesting. The Itoinans celebrated games at the time of our Easter, which were called egg games, when they ran races on oval tracks nnd were given eggs n Then sports were given In pilzes. honor of Castor and Bollux, the twinwho emerged from an egg deposited by the swnn Lida. There Is also an old Persian legend concerning two brothers, one of whom creced an egg which contained good spirits and the other an egg which hi Id eil demons. Then they broke to gather so that their contents became mixed, and in this way good and evil Radio Soon to Be Carrier of Sight Expert Predicts Reception of of Vision and Sound. Programs - "Radio broadcasting today Is recognized for what It U: A great humanizing and cultural force, educationally comparable only to the press of our country," said Merlin II. Ayles-wortpresident of the National Rroad ousting company, In an address to the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania. Rt fleet on the fact that already radio broadcasting commands an audience of 20,000,00') persons In the United States and that by the end of this audience probably will be Increased to 27,000,000 or 2S, 000,000 1027 listeners.

Mikes Are Better, "Microphone technique has been tmpioved to the extent that not only the middle register, but the high notes and low notes of music or the speaking voice, can now be bandied by the mlci ophone. "Modulation systems have been worked out by which distortion In Chant the elngers of Christ glory. Kneel the worshiper to pray. And again we hear the story Of his Resurrection day. Oh! the Joys of Banter morning When with Christ we leave earth sod. When the early spring Is dawning And we worship near to God! radio transmission hus practically been eliminated. Round control systems have bpen developed by which an Invisible mixes and controls the output of the microphone, so that a concert might be transmitted in perfect form by the broadcasting station." Radio broadcasting, Mr. Aylesvvorth pointed out, has still many problems to solve. He continues: With the great advances made In the technique of radio transmission, with nearly every American boy a radio expert It may seem strange, perhaps, that there are any fundamental problems left for the electrical engineer to solve In radio broadcasting. Yet it Is made plain to me by our own engineers that a vast, unknown continent of space, between the radio broadcast lng station and the radio receiving set, still remains to ho explored before we can say we have fully plumbed the possibilities of radio communication. Unless broadcasting transmission Is to slow up the progress of broadcast reception, the broadcasting station must ever look forward to the goal of perfection. It Is apparent that no receiving set developed can give hotter results than the best available broadenst transmission. Some of Mysteries. "We have theories about everything, hut we have yet to discover, It waves seems, why electro-magneti- c can cover greater distances ever salt water than over land ; why with the same power from the transmitting station we can reach greater areas oer flat land than over hilly country, over moist land than dry land. Our engineers are still balked bv th exasperating phenomena of shortwave' transmission, when reception Is of.en good 1 .000 miles away from the broadens! lng station and almost Im-p- o iwiltle nt the distance of 100 miles from the transmitter.

Hut the engineering ndnd will not rest content until It has tracked the beast to Us lair nnd put a final stop to Its The mystery of' faddepredations. ing or the sudden variation of signal strength sometimes noted in radio on, has not yet been pierced. "Great tasks of discovery still challenge the radio scientist, and the National Broadcasting company In addition to Its administrative and operating activities, must pursue an course of scientific Investigation. Photographic Progress. The phenomenal progress made In radio photography In recent years, Mr. Vvlosworth said, had brought radio television at least within thinking distance. Laboratory developments. he Indicated, would soon demonstrate that photographic Ranges could he transmitted by radio In sce- -t onds, rather than In minutes as heretofore. "Even In the discussion of a subject as ethereal ns radio, he declared, It may not be permissible to take ones feet off the ground. Yet the concurrence of events Is. such that It Is difficult to keep the mind from projecting Itself to the day when radio will not only be the grent carrier of sound, but the carrier of sight. When facsimile documents and pictures are transmitted across the ocean by radio In 20 minutes and this Is Its present commercial record there Is at least room for speculation as to radio television. When one year later, a half-tonphotograph H transmitted lo two minutes by radio, nnd this Is a feat recently accomplished nnder taborntory conditions by Doctor Alexanderson of the advisory engineering staff of the National Rroadcnstlng company, the progress Is Indeed remarkable.

The Persian of today presents colored eggs to Ids friends on a certain festival In March In memory of the two brothers, and we may have borrowed our custom from this source. There is also the story of the German princess who received a huge iron egg from a prince. She cast It from her In disdain, but in falling l ojiened and disclosed a golden yolk in a crystal. On opening the goldeu ball she found a crown of rubies, and within this lay a betrothal ring of diamonds. The prince evidently considered the egg to be a worthy treasure house containing the most precious emblem he knew. The early Christians considered the egg the emblem of the resurrection. Why the egg should be so closely Iden tided with Easter Is puzzling, unless one stops to think of. the wonder which the mysterious development of life in an egg contains, nnd one may easily Imagine that this can lie made symbolic of the revivnl of nature und the new impulse of life.

Tou, to whom PAGAN CUSTOM OF RITE OF EXPIATION Feast of Purification in Rome. An-de- nt In the calendar of ancient Rome February 15 stood for the feast of purification, when worshipers of the pagan gods Indulged In rites and ceremonies of expiation. The pagan observance, although brief In duration, was In some of Its aspects similar iu purpose to the modern Chrlstluu Lenten season. The Roman Ftbrua was the most remarkable of the feasts of the ancient Romans, The love of the present-daItalian for frequent religious observations, saints' days anil festivals may be a heritage from those distant ancestors who worshiped the Innumerable deities of their polytheistic fuith. These rites and feasts weie, says Gibbon, the Detroit News reculls, "closely interwoven with every circumstance of business and pleasure, of public or of private life, and It seemed Impossible to escape the observance of them without ut the same time renouncing the commerce of mankind and all the offices of amusement uml society." To avoid participation In these various festivities, without thereby incurring popular or otticlal displeasure und its accompanying punishment, was one of the chief concerns of the early Christians of Rome. There came a time, however, when the shoe was on the other foot, and the triumphant Christians uttaehed severe penalties to the observance of the old feasts. The festival of purification became the Christian Lenten season, the spring celebration of the pagans became the Easter of the Christians, nnd the December Saturnalia iAas superseded by Christmas. y re-ce- Spinsters Washed Effigy An exceedingly Quaint old Good Friday custom was held up to less than a Century ugo In the little church of Glenthatu, IJncolnshlre, England.
