Burgundians Li ht
'S nsl Fires 0 Recall
ravery Of Ancestors
Two thousand years ago tires
flared from tho summits of all the
ihe.Province or Burgundy to con-
voks the usnembly at Yibracte at
which it was decided to form ”to
sacred union or all (1111115 under
Vercingetorl: to face 1110 invasion
of Julius Cursor. '
Tomorrow night. all Burgundians
will be out watching for l'u'es on
the smtul hilltops and trusting that
the same spirit of union us in the
year 52 B..C. will come to the
country‘s aid. The custom of light-
ing the fires has never died out in
Burgundy, but of recent years there
has l on a revival of interest by
the p pie in their gallant~forofa~
there. Thirty-seven fires were light-
ed two years ago. These became 300
last year. and there will be nearly
400 this year.
This Judge Sees No
Need To Hurry Over
Enjoying Sociable Glass
LONDON—(AP) How long should
a man spend over a drink? is a
question which a Galway Court has
decided in the case of six soldiers
of the Irish speaking battalion of
the National army. The troopers
were presecuted ifor ”stalwart”
long in a public house on Sunday
afternoon tippllng. The police coh-
tended that a half hour the men
had spent over their beverage was
too long. The magistrate, however,
held that if a man were sociably
inclined be easily could spend an
hour over one drink. Therefore he
dismissed the case.
Mercury, Like Franc,
Seems Glued To Bottom
As if the steadily falling franc was
not sufficient to life's discomflture,
France is being aggravated by what
apparently is a permanently fnllcn
thermometer. About 50 degrees
Fahrenheit seems the highest the
mercury can reach in the daytime
and 40 at night. And there is frees-
ing weather on anything like high
ground. The coal and. wood dealers
alone are satisfied with this condi-
tion.
The month‘s cold spell has shak-
en French faith in one of the
strongest popular traditions by con-
tinuing after the waning of the
“lune rousse." This is the "red-
brown moon." After Easter it is
credited with turning young vegeta-
tion a. rusty color. No Frenchman.
educated or uneducated. expects fine
weather until its reign is over. Its
departure this year. however. failed
to bring the confidently expected
change.

told of congestion onWashington

“This is a very important im-

Mr. Munsie. reporting for the
Merchants committee said at the
next meeting he hoped to have a list
of holidays so that ‘all merchant
members would understand the
days on whichutbey are supposed to
remain closed during the year. He
said there seemed to be some mis-
understanding on this point now.
He recommended the board should
endorse the stand of merchants to
close their stores Monday ‘in observe

Summer Outing
A Board of Trade outing to be
held during the summer was sug-

tuai understanding and good fellow-
ship which would result. The idea
was seconded by Don. M. Waidner
who also advocated noonoday meet-
ings for members of the‘board. .
On the question of holiday observ-
once. Mr. Moran recommended a
canvass of all merchants and manu-
facturer..- so that unanimity of ac-
tlon can be nhured.‘
A card will be sent to members
before the next meeting to obtain
their views on a outing. If enough
favor it. one will be organised this
summer. , ‘
According 'to Mr. “Munsle. Wed-

definitely determined.
