ANCIENTS MADE ERROR IN FUG TIME Or EASTER Day Observed This Year Week Ahead of Correct ‘ Prediction. Bv Time* Special WASHINGTON, March 20—Just because astronomers back in Pope Gregory’ s * day, nearly 400 years ago, made some incorrect predictions in attempting to time the movements of the moon for centuries to come, the Christian world is going to observe Caster Sunday this year a week ahead cf what might otherwise be the case. ‘‘Easter,’’ says th 1 rule, “is the first Sunday after the full moon which matures on or near after March 21.” The old church calendar says the full moon this year will occur on March 31. and consequently Easter Sunday will fall on April X. Modem astronomy, however, has fci.nd that the full moon will really occur on April 1, and therefore the following Sunday will be April 8. Present-day astronomers have no objection to offer because Easter is not an astronomical date, but an ecclesiastical date, and therefore the < hureh may fix any date i* desires. Modern scientists have no c.nderoi ation for the errors made by the ;undent astronomers “If we attempted today to make predictions for 400 years in advance j we probably would snake just as \ many errors as they did, because even j our calendar, speaking in a strictly j astronomical sense, is not quite correct,” they say.

"What I reproach your former President Wilson for most, is that he saw the world through j rose-colored spectacles.” With this succinct comment, the Princess Hermine, bride of the ex-kaiser, summarized her impression of America’s wartime President, based upon her reading. Contrary to most of her coun(ryincn, the princess Hid admit lie lief iliat Woodrow Wilson had idealistic motives, “huf lie didn’t hold it necessary to seek—even from neutrals—a picture of actual conditions in Germany." Wilson, therefore. Hermine con-; tinued, "was a ‘victim’ of entente propaganda—not entirely without fault on his own part.” Regarding Germany’s immediate future, and in this connection the exemperor agrees with his bride—the princess is free from every illusion.

And she switched the conservation to personal affairs. Apropos of the crown prince, who on Christinas and his father’s birthday came to Doom and who is expected here at East* r. Hermine . alle l attention to his unenviable lot —banishment to Wieringen. “In this lie resembles his father," the princess said. ’<Both possess un usual energy and do not admit themselves to bo crushed by exile." She told how the island home of the crown prince once was isolated by ice from all communication with the mainland. The population, including the prince, gradually was approaching starvation, and plans were being made to transport food by airplane. Just as the Dutch government was about to undertake tins rescue mission a thaw came, breaking the ice. The princess smiled reflectively at a reminiscence of what happened to her little boy at the hands of a Dutch !>oliceman. There was quite a snow fall a fortnight ago and the lad threw a snowball at a policeman. Not know mg the child, the officer “followed him to the castle gates,” the princess said The officials of the Dutch press talked of Hermine’s son—despite the fa< i that she explained ho was up to old.

EXPERT TESTIFIES" - TO HIGHER PRONE EGOMT COSTS Survey by John R, Turner Shows Boost From $1 to $1.69, figures indicating telephone cquip-m-nt prices have nearly doubled in t.a years wire presented today by .lei,: it. Turner <>f Chicago, appraisal engineer of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company, Chicago division, in the hearing in connection with investigation of consolidated rates of_the In ,!. a Beil TANARUS leplnuie Company by the public service commission. Tinner showed the gradual increase hi values from 1911 to 1919. His estimate-; probably will be used by Indiana Loll attorneys in attempting to refute commission charges that operation of the Indiana Bell has been miscalculated.

Value In ere ascii li‘t Per Cent Turner's charts showed property worth $1 in 1911 was worth $1.09 in 1919. Thomas U Kevcs, auditor of the Indiana Bell, said the Indiana Bell paid the American Telephone and Telegraph Company 81 cents a year for 111" rental of each instrument owned by the latter company. Keyes' figures were based on the $1.50 a month, or $lB a year, fee, paid for each suhscr.bcr-station, 4Vs per cent of which is paid to the American Telephone and Telegraph Company as rental. Ho denied the amount paid for tho use of instruments leased by contract, but not used, was of consequence. Estimates In Conflict An average instrument value of $92.40 was given by Keyes from a survey of thirteen important Indiana exchanges He said he estimated tho average value by dividing the total value of equipment of the thirteen ex- : changes by the number of subscriberstations. Terre Haute, Wabash, Connersvlllo and Noblesville, considered in his survey', were not Included in a similar survey by O. C. Herdrick, a witness for the commission several weeks ago, on whose estimates considerable argument resulted.
