Passover Honors Ex 'cklus
Jewish people the world over

Passover, which is held annually
to commemorate the Israelites'
exodus into the wilderness from
,slavery - in Egypt

until Wednesday at sundown.
touringl these seven , days. the
Jewish people will fast by not
eating leavened bread. Their fast
mg reminds them that their an
cestors • ate unleavened bread
during . the -exodus.
The Seders, the evening meals
of the first two days of Passover,
are symbolic of the flight from the
bonds of slavery. The father is
seated at the head of the table
and his family is gathered around
him. He leads the traditional
cereklVonies at the meals.

Before - each person is placed a

dish which holds a portion of the
shoulder of the shank bone of a
lamb with only a small amount of
meat on it. Also on the dish is
peeled egg.
On a third plate are bitter herb;
and on the forth is Charoseth p a
paste made of nuts, apples, raisins

Each dish has a particular sig

CRAM COURSE NO. 2: BIOLOGY
The grisly shadow of final exams looms over us, to today in
this column instead of merry quips and homely saws, you will
find hard facts—quick cram courses to help you through the
ordeal ahead.
Lag week I gave you a,rapid survey of Modern Etimialut
History. Now let us turn to Biology.
Biology is divided into several phyla, or classes. First is
the protozoa, or one-celled animal. All life stems from the one•
celled animal. Over a apace of millions of years, life slowly
evolved until today we have animals with as many se 12 cells.
Some larger mammals claim they have 14 to 16 cells, but your
know how larger mammals lie.
' The second clam of animals is the periphem a shadowy
category that borders often on the vegetable. Take, for example , ,
the sponge. The sponge is definitely an animal. The washcloth,
on the other hand, is definitely not.
Next we come to the arthropiala, or insects. Moat ,
of course, find insects fairly repulsive—and yet, if one wilt
look, there is exquisite; beauty in the insect world. Who does
not remember the lovely insect poems of William - Cullen
Sigafoos—such enchanting lyrics as Tumbling Along with the
Tumbling Tumbkbug, Fly Gently; Sweet Aphid, and Gnats My
Mother Taught Me. Mr. Sigafoos has been inactive since the
invention of DDT.
Our nett, category is the molluscs,—lobsters, shrimp, and
the like. Lobsters are generally found under rocky projection.
on the ocean bottom. Shrimp are Kenenally found in a circle
around a small bowl containing cocktail sauce. Marlboro Cig
arettes are generally fOund at any tobacco counter or vending
machine.
What have Marlboro Cigarettee got to do with biologyt
Well, actually, not very much. It must be remembered, how•
ever, that the= makers of Marlboro pay me for writing this
column, and they are inclined to get surly if I fail to mention
their product.
Mind you, I enjoy Ringing the praises of Marlboro—and
so will you once you try that flavorful tobacco, that fine filter
which lets the flavor come through undiminished. It is a great
pleasure to smoke Marlboros and a great pleasure to write
about them, but sometimes, I must confess, I find it a bit
difficult to work the commercial into the column. Some yew*
ago, for example i l did a piece about Alexander the Great.
and, believe you me, it took a heap of stretching to drop
. its
a plug for Marlboro. The way I finally managed it was to have
Alexander go to the Oracle at Delphi and say, "Oracle, I hare
conquered the world and tasted all its pleasure's, but somehow
I am not content. I know that somewhere there must he a
joy I have not yet experienced." To which the Oracle replied,
46 . 1 a,
"Yea, Alexander, there is latch a joy, but, alas, the time is not
yet. I refer to Marlboro Cigarettes which will pot be invented
for another 2501 years." Whereupon Alexander fell into a sulk
. liven which he never recovered ...IrVell sir, there is no question
I sold a lot of cigarettes with this ingenious commercial, but
the gang down at the American Academy of Arts and Letters
gave me a mighty good razzing, you may be sure.
But I digress. Back to biology, and the most advanced
phylum of all—the chordate, or vertebrate*. There are two
de of vertebrates—those whose backbones run horizontally
and those whose backbones run vertically. Generally, there - to
no great difficulty in distinguishing the two varieties. A fish,
for instance, hasa horizontal backbone, and a man has a vertical
backbone. Occasionally, however, you run into a problem—like
a - fish who swims upright and a man who spends most of his
time in the sack. Haw, in such a case, do you tell one from
another? Science xtruegkd with this sticky question for cen
turies, but finally Siesta"' of M.I.T. came up with a brilliantly
simple answer. Offer the creature a Marlboro. If it is a fish, it will
refuse. If it is Homo sapiens, it will accept. In fact, the more
sapient, the quicker the acceptance. • • IWO 14•• 9..5....
The makers of Marlboro, upright sartebrates all, remind
you that their tins cigarettes are available in pack or boa . )
wherever cigarettes ant sold in any of the SO states.
tional divisions: priest, Levitt*
Israelites.
. The shank bone represents the
lamb which was slain by the
Israelites on the 14th of Nizan (the
first month of the Hebrew year).
THE HEBREW PEOPLE put the
slain lamb's blood on their doors
so the angel that God sent to kin
the firstborn in every Egyptian
home could differentiate bet*eetr
the homes. The angel would "pass
over" the Israelite dwellings.
The bitter herbs are a reminder
of the bitter days of slavery in
Egypt.
