The uniform building line is being elimiuated, and houses are being placed no that each home wUl be separated as widely as possible from the neighboring dwellings. Improvements in the design of so-called "modern" house.s, new materials, and new methods of building are helping to broaden the acceptance of modern styles of ar- chitecture. .«i »••â- â€¢>•* â- 'â-  > -^rt,- â- â™¦Â«Â»Â»% » » i »* • a * ♦ • Why Easter's Date Is Changed Yeariy The Christian Church Early Decided That the Easter Fes- tival Should Coincide With The Jewish Passover, A Moveable Feast Many people wonder why ihe date of Easter should ohange year by year, while Christmaa is a fix- ed holiday. Tho reason is that the Crucifixion took place at the time ot the Jewish P.assover, which, due to peculiarities of the Jewish cal- endar, is a moveable feast. The Christian Church therefore decided tliat the Easter festival should co- incide wi;h the Jewish Passover. Easter can come any day from iMarch 2i to April 55, a rauge of five weeks. FIXED BY THE >IOON The metho<i of fixing Easier is complicated, aud would tjke too long to explain here. Easter Day is the first Sunday after the full moon which happeus eillur upon or next after the spring equinox. If the fall moon happeus on a Sun- day, Easter l>ay is the Sunday after. Owing (o the imperfections of our calendar, the spring equinox for fixing Easter is. curiously, a cHlculated date, and not the aoiual spring equinox. Production of leather foot- wear in Canada for the calendar year 1!M0 aiiiounted to 2fi,261,- OSS pairs, the largest output ever recorded by the indu.«try.

Quints^ Home Town In Fishing Area Mention the name of Caliander and readers immediately think of the Dionne Quintuplets, but the town has other claims to fame inasmuch as it is a jumping off place for anglers whose objec- tives are Lake Nipissing and French River. This information is contained in a new booklet on hunting and fishing issued by the Can.idian National Railways. Fish available in season include sal- mon, trout, bass, musky, pike and pickerel, and in the proper time hunters can find ' deer, black bear, ducks, partridge, when per- mitted, and rabbits. Callandci' is 219 miles north of Toronto, on the Canadian National System. • HAVE YOU HEARD? KfY! URGE WHIU'S YOUR MINARD': SOLDIERS, HUB OUT TIRED ACHES WMQIIIIUini 38 to 52 years o'.d.

Strong, the novelist, brought back a pleasant story from the country th» other day. "I am aaaured it is true, but pass it on to you without comment," he said. "One of the local big- wigs, returning after a couple of weeks' absence, learned that a certain old man in the village had lost his wife, and went off to pay a visit of condolence. " 'I'm sorry to hear you've buried your wife.' » 'Eh?' " Tm sorry to hear you've buried your wife.' •' 'We 'ad to. She died.' " â€" o â€" Tbe mittress of the house- entered the dining-room just as a burglar was in the act of purloining the lilver. "What are you doing?" ask- ed the Udy. "I'm at your service, Mad- am," a«Mi. tlic thief. The next; Sunday was Mission- ary Sunday, and the boys had been asked to learn an appropri- ate verse to recite wheai putting tjieir pennies into the l)ox. "The Lord loveth a cheerful giver," said Tommy. "He who giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord," followed Johnny. Then came Billy's turn, and as he somewhat reluctantly in- serted a penny, he said: "A fool and his money ars soon parted." "Cheer up, old chap. No aews is good news." "Not when you're running a newspaper." â€" â€" The teacher believed in giving her class lessons in general know- ledge. "What is tliis?" she asked one day, holding up a small object. "A pay envelope," replied little Freddie promptly. "Good!" exclaimed the teacher. "And what did it contain?" "Money," said Freddie, "your wages." "Very good, Freddie!" she said, beaming round the class. "Any questions about ic?" "Please, teacher," remarked one thoughtful child, "where do you work?'' About the meanest thing a woman can do when her husband's name is mention- ed is to sigh, look resigned and say nothing.
