Moravian Easter
Rites Draw Crowd
Winston-Salem, N. ., April 1.?
Gathering under the stately old trees
before fhe Home Moravian Church, a
congregation of 40,000 heard the story
of "Christ's resurrection retold today
at the 103rd Moravian eunrite Eaater
service here.
Thronging to Winston-Salem from
many states for the service which the
Moravians have held annually since
members of the sect from Hermhut,
Germany, settled here in 1771, the
visitors were favored with a beautiful
day.
A full moon shone through the
trees as Bishop J. Kenneth Pfhol of
the Southern Moravian Province appeared
in the churchway at 5:30 a. m.
and made the announcement of the
Master's resurrection. "He Is Risen!"
Back from the crowd in swelling
chorus came the answer:
"He is risen indeed!"
As the bishop continued with the
liturgy the darkness paled before the
coming dawn and when the service
was completed at 5:51 a. m., after a
march to the nearby Moravian graveyard
the first rays of a bright morning
sun were slanting over the flat
slabs which mark the graves there.
The estimate of the congregation's
size was made iby W. J. Hege, the
head usher who for many years has
had charge of handling the huge
crowds which annually attend the
service.
Hotels and boarding houses here
and in neighboring cities could not
care for the thousands of visitors.
Throughout the night the streets of
Winston-Salem were filled with people
and automobiles were parked at
every available spot. Many slept in
their cars.
Joseph Dunninger, a magician and
mind reader, suing a New York landlord
for $50,000 for personal damages
predicted that the jury would be out
four hours and return a verdict in his ,
favor for $2.750. In three hours and
55 minutes the jury returned a ver
dill for the p!a.miff fo! .>2.750. Dun-I
:.inger ha i written .;< je?..on or.
a blip of paper, .-ea.cd it in an enve. i
op.' and handed it to the judge when i
the jury retired.
Andrew Donaldson Kirwan. 23, son j
of Mrs. Jean Nash, known as the ,
"best dressed woman in Europe,"
went on trial in a New York federal
court Wednesday, charged with murder
on the high seas, in that he stabbed
Gilliam Sessoms, 52, to death on
board the President Garfield, in a
drunken quarrel over religions, Kirwan
being a Catholic and Sessoms being
a Protestant and a 32nd degree '*
Mason. Mrs. Nash is now the wife
of Paul Do Bonnett, a wealthy French
vintner.
A woman at Mansfield, Ohio, who
sued a man for injuries sustained in
an automobile accident while he was
driving with one arm around her, '
failed to get a verdict. The court
ruled that her act in allowing her
:ompanion to have his arm around
her was contributory negligence.
IMMIGRANT TIDE
IS DROPPING OFF
More People Leaving U. S.
Now Th*o Entering It*
Washington.?The problem of America's
"melting pot" has been solved by
the depression. For the first time la
this nation's history more persons are
leaving lt,s shores to live In other countries
than are entering as Immigrants.
During tho period only ontfifth
of tho world wldo quota of 1M>,(Hk>
aliens admissible to the United
States under tho present law has been
filled. At Kills Island, for every alien
seeking entry to this country there are
three awaiting deportation.
In marked contrast to the hordes of
arrivals from other countries, as ntuny
ns O.IKX) a day. in years past, seldom
more than LH>0 or 300 are to ho fount!
on Kills Island today. Two thirds of
these are deportees, tho rest being, for
the main part, wives, children^ or aged
parents of naturalized clttgens who
now find that the quota laws which
barred them for years no longer keep
them out If they can comply with the
i emulations.
The island It* no longer n clearing
house through which all newcomers
must pass. Aliens whose visas ure In
order step otY the ship at the pier Just
liko other passengers, free to proceed
to their destinations.
The only aliens detained at the Island
aro those who arrive ill. whoso
papers are suspected of. being Irrogular,
or whose relatives or responsible
lrionds fail to appear at the pier or
communicate with tho Immigration department.
Those who are sent to the Island
seldom tiro detained more than a week.
While there they are shown every
courtesy. No longer are the newcomers
shoved around like animals In a
stockyard, as in former days. Now
they aro considered as guests.
Trade Pigs for Fashion
Tips in the South Seas
Philadelphia,?The Value of new
fashion designs and new tribal songs
is measured In tprms of pigs and
other foodstuffs by the natives of the
South seas, according to I)r. Margaret
Mead, who recently returned from a
22-month reseurch among primitive
tribes.
With her husband, Dr. R. F. Fortune,
of Columbia university/ Doctor
Mead traveled extensively among the
primitive mountain dwellers In New
Guinea, a mandate of Australia, formerly
known as Kaiser Wllhelm's
Land.
The Inland tribes. Doctor Mead
said, surrender their food supplies in
return for latest fashion Ideas and
songs. Communication between the
tribes, however, is Irregular, she said,
and so slowly does a fashion travel
that It may take as long as five years
for It to cover the 20 miles from the
sea to the mountains.
Doctor Mead Is assistant curator of
ethnology of the American Museum of
Natural History.
Meaning of Words Has
Changed Much in Years
Montreal.?The world has changed a
lot during the last few centuries. So
has the meaning and pronunciation of
every day English words.
Here are a few examples, quoted by
Prof. C. H. Carruthers of McGlll university,
during a speech here:
Once upon a time "Idiot" meant a
private citizen, "silly" meant fortunate,
"boudoir" meant a place to go
and sulk In, "Insulted" meant Jumped
upon, "salary" was an allowance to soldiers
to purchase salt, and a "scavenger"
was a customs Inspector.
Vermont Ghost Timber
Town Still Is Standing
Arlington, Vt.?A "ghoet town," remindful
of those left In the wake of
gold rushes In the West, Is located
near here.
It Is the long abandoned village of
Kelley Stand. For half a century It
was a thriving community, with 300.
inhabitants, all engaged In the lumber
business. When, In 1330, the lumber
supply beenme exhausted, residents
moved to a new site of operations.
leaving behind a dozen dwellings
and a mill, the skeletons of which
still stand.
Kangaroo Population in
Australia Is Decreasing

In Australia Is not what It used
to be, F. White, New South Wales,

Is one of many use'ess animals In
Australia, White said. They may be
used only for zoos and occasionally for
hides, but are seen only In the Interior
