The Enid Events from Enid, Oklahoma • 12

THE ENID EVENTS, ENID, THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1923 EASTER LILY Flower of loveliness in perfect bloom, Thou art a benediction in this room. Essence of harmony, thou dost express A calm above our mortal restlessness. Symbol of purity, thou dost suggest The perfect peace of Paradise the blest. Surely our loved ones who had gone hefore And stand upon the glad eternal shore, Have flowers there that are like unto thee, Glowing in radiant Immortality. Bright miracle of nature, fresh and fair, Distilling sweetness in the fragrant alr; Incense of Heaven, yielding hope and cheer, Thou shinest with a light serene and clear.

Celestial messenger, thou dost fulfi In acquiescent grace, thy Maker's will. Not all the riches that the earth can hold, Nor Solomon surrounded by his gold Within a precious palace, yet could ba Arrayed in glory like to thee. No wonder the Angelicos of old Made their annunciation angels hold A Illy, token of the love divine That Into every human heart must shine; The love of Christ who rose on Easter Day To show to us the Truth, the Life, the Way Into the Father's presence--and the sight of Earth and Heaven in the light Of peace and love--by angel hosts adored, And over all--the glory of the Lord. -Mary Sanger. CUSTOM OF EGG- ROLLING Old Pastime of Washington Children, but There Are No Records of Its Origin.

Washington children were the first to play at rolling eggs, but there 1s no chronicle which sets forth when and how the pastime came to be. The first reference to egg-rolling which has been found occurs in the Evening Star of Easter Monday, 1874, and that reference has to do with some interruption of the egg-rolling at the capitol by ruffians. The reasonable inference is that the custom of rolling eggs at the capitol was then an old one. When Washington was young the small, fenced park about the capitol was the only one in WashIngton improved with turf, trees and flowers. It was the habit of school children to have an Easter picnic, and with their teachers and their baskets of lunch they would go to the Capitol park.

At the west front of the capItol were steep sodded terraces. In sitting at the top of these terraces and eating their lunches, of which dyed Easter eggs formed part, some child or children discovered that the colored eggs would roll down the terraces. In that way the custom started and became a part of the Easter festival in Washington. When the incident of 1874 occurred there were several thousand children rolling eggs down the sodded banks. Congress in 1875, noting that because of the Easter egg-rolling it was hard to keep grass on the terraces, forbade the practice, but egg-rolling festivities were observed in 1876 and 1877 Just the same.

On Easter Monday, 1878, the children were turned away from the capitol grounds. The word passed from child to child, and the march to the White House was taken up. They invaded the executive grounds and began rolling eggs, and the custom survives. Mexican Easter Custom. A Mexican flower girl standing In front of a large 1 funeral wreath.

SPECTACULAR TONKAWA FIRE FIELD CAUSES BIG LOSS Fifty Thousand Dollars in Oil Tanks Go Up in Flames Saturday; Starts in "Dog House." TONKAWA, March The most costly and spectacular fire in the history of the Tonkawa field raged all day Saturday, commencing at six o'clock in the morning when battery of seventeen 500-barrel steel tanks owned by the Comar Oil pany on the Endicott lease, fire and were destroyed. Fourteen of the tanks were filled with oil. Two hundred men with teams, scrapers and plows were at work by eight o'clock and built a dike around the tanks to prevent the spread burning oil.

Production of wells running into the tanks was shut off before noon, and part was run thru a hurriedly laid line to the Phillips storage tanks nearby. Together with new tankage erected and an earthen lake scraped up northwest of burning tanks, production from the wells was taken care of. The loss will amount to about $50,000, it is said. This includes 000 barrels of oil burned, cost of tanks lost, and labor to prevent spread of fire. Wind blew from the south and west Saturday.

Had it blown from the north or northwest a number of would have been lost. The first is reported to have been caused by igniting of gas around the tanks from a fire in a "dog house," near the battery of tanks. A black pall of smoke obscured the sky and was blown 12 or 14 miles northeast of the scene. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. B.
