A Fallacious Remedy for Unemployment. Present unemployment may not rightly be explained in terms of overpopulation, nor is population restriction its solution.

Our initial colonial population conA sisted wholly of European adults. high birth-rate prevailed among them, and because of the absence of a great number of people of advanced years, there was a relatively low death-rate throughout almost the entire colonial The consequent and considperiod. erable excess of births over deaths resulted in a steady and rapid natural growth in population, a growth' that has continued up to the present day although, as indicated in the first artide of this series, this growth is now diminishing, and will soon cease entirely. The disturbed conditions in Europe and the almost privileged position in c ard to commercial, industrial and agricultural expansion that the young republic came to occupy soon . after the establishment of its independence, resulted in a steady increase in its population from another sourse also— immigration. Resulting from and in proportion to this rapid two-fold increase of populaCon, by natural growth and by accretion, came a rising spiral in land v alues, and a stimulation to every sort of production, whether of goods or of Prices became higher, real services. w ages steadily advanced, and the scale of living rose. But there was nothing inherently brilliant in this high-price, high-wage, mass-production set-up. Our almost inexhaustible natural resources said with due regard for neo-MalthusIan animadversions on this point) did indeed play an important part, but essentially it is to the constantly growing population, the automatic augmentation of the number of consumers, that our national wealth of to-day is due. ( The bearing on this discussion of the s o-called "law of diminishing returns,' and of the neo-Malthusian concept of the "optimum" population, will be discussed in a later article of this series-

But may be leaving us, Gandhi Mr. heard allowed to summarise. And we may be that Mr. Gandhi is what puzzles me is when he is mystical, denourced, not practical: not when he but when he ismystical or metaphysical t ouches upon draws attention theories, but when he facts. And I to manifest material very notice that, when he mentions so fact of manifest a material fact as the he is our domination by machinery, answered by a metaphysical trick which is a piece of pure mystification. He is answered with something much more bodiless, evasive and theoretical than any honest mysticism, eastern or western: by the ancient sophistry which the Greeks called Sorites. of which the worst form is The Argument of the Heap or "Where Do You Draw the Line?" I notice that in "The Observer," especially. the sophist was sent forth to tackle the mystic. The sophist asked what Mr. Ganhdi could possibly mean by talking about a machine. "Man is a tool-using animal. A spinning-wheel is as much a machine as a The answer steam-engine, etc., etc." to this question of "Where do you draw the line." is that you do not draw an" line at all. The line is already drawn, and you know when you cross the line: unless you are blind, deaf, dumb and paralysed; which is very often the case, especially in modern journalism. It is not necessary for us to draw the line between the Editor of "The Observer" having his hair singed and his being burned alive. He will draw the line, a long time before the latter point is reached: not being so paralysed as all that. In other words, there is a point at which the balance tips over, and the appreciation of that centre of gravity is essential to pre. venting anything from toppling and falling down. N.o.y the question about modern machinehe is not whether there are any ancient machines, or whether a spinning-v.-heel shall or shall not he defined as a machine. The question is whether the modern machine is not much more than a machine: whether it has not become an unnatural form of power: whether it is not an unforeseen catastrophe. like the gentleman on "The Observer" being burned alive instead of singed by a hairdresser. Now when we take some of the actual admitted facts about the modern machine, it becomes sheer moonshine to compare it with Mr. Gandhi's spinning-wheel. Take the condition of many .American factories: admitted by many American factory-owners: admitted to me, in private conversation, by more than one American industrialist.

THE RECORD.

Saturday, February 5, 1932.

I3ut the question is not now mal. whether the man issa tool-using animal. It is whether the tool is to be a manusing animal. Is a spade so expensive, that a man who has bought it to dig for something dares not lay it down. and takes a trowel to dig for Does the spade comsomething else? mand the man to go on digging indefinitely in barren ground, merely that its own edge may be kept sharp? Does the spinning-wheel of Mr. Gandhi. call to him day and night. in magical sounds, like an aeolian harp, so that he must rise up and spin, even if he has just been called upon to get up Is his spinning-wheel, and speak? by its own nature, bound to go on turning out more and more inadequate loin-cloths and inferior and perishable linen, supplying the world w:th worse and worse garments in wilder and wilder profusion; eternally tossing off torrents or tornados of ragged shirts, rotten trousers, unwearable waistcoats, and the rest: merely that the spinningwheel may continue. in Mr. Gandhi's ears, singing a quiet tune? Obviously it is a mere logomachy whether we use the word "machinery" to mean any sort of tool or the extravagantly comThe plicated modern type of tool. point is that the tool has become complicated and the complication has beIt has, in praccome extravagant. til•al experience, passed that line of health or sainty .which only paralytics or lunatics pass without knowing it. How men who have passed it are to return to the land of spades and spinning-wheels and normal things may he, and indeed it, a difficult question. But it is obvious that a man in Gandhi's position, speaking to and for numbers of people who have never crossed that line, is perfectly entitled to advise them never to cross it. His o wn position has difficulties, and his o wn philosophy elements with which I disagree: but even if it were necessary that he and his people should be broken upon the wheel of industrialism. I protest against his being buried alive under the dead, dry, ancient dust of the Accumulating Heap. For it is rubbish-heap.-- -"G K 's Weekly."

SUN•GLARE HEADACHES _

`ASPRO' Gives Quick Relief

Y ou can have too much of a good thing sometimes. For instance. sunshine Severe summer heat is a health problem in every country. In tropical areas men go down like ninepins to Malaria. Even in more temperate climates the depressing effects of heat are evidenced on every hand. Sun-Glare Headaches are common everyday experiences. Sleepless nights are followed by irritable mornings. Nerves are on "edge." Summer Chills, Hay Fever, etc., may mean laying up for days. 'ASPRO' is invaluable for Summer Complaints. It reduces fever and temperature quickly. It soothes away pains and ache. and relieves headache in from 5 to 10 minutes. 'ASPRO' changes sleeplessness to restful sleep. 'ASPRO' soothes the nerves. 'ASPRO' has proved itself heaven-sent relief in tropical countries—the "no-man's land" for white people. 'ASPRO' does all this because, after ingestion in the system, it ia a solvent of Uric Acid, a powerful germicide, an anti-pyretic, anti -fermentative _tl, and anti -periodic.

Read those Epistles and you may feel the warmth of his great heart burning through the cold print after nineteen centuries. "But what that ancient world did not understand is that the blunderer and sputterer, the man beside himself, was alive, afire with Divinity and that unlike the ultra-refined who were polishing their phrases and cnopping their logic in the lounging rooms of the luxurious baths and in the porches of the A cademy. that man was tearing up the foundatiore of the old world and building a new world before their very eYes.

The solid permanent building of this model home-training centre stands on a high hill commanding a wonderful view of Lake Victoria and of the surrounding hills. The Franciscans are looking far ahead and well around. . . Some people admire: others, who have low ideas ')f. African capabilities, are inclined to smile. What has been done. however, for the poorer women and for the Little Sisters of St. Francis is an earnest of possibilities in the education of an elite of womanhood. It is interesting to know that a convent and schools are soon to be erected at Namilyango, not far from the spot where the whole. burnt offering of the Uganda Martyrs was consummatedThe hospital work of the Sisters of St. Francis deserves special mention. since in spite of shortage of trained staff they are able to prepare women for valuable work for the sick and for the poor mothers. No less than 45 African students have obtained their certificates under the Uganda Midwives' Board, and are doing splendid work in Government Hospitals and in mission stations to the. great satisfaction of the medical authorities in many parts of Uganda. There are actually 29 women in training as nurses at Nsambya. From all that we hear, these native Catholic nurses are not only more successful than others in examinations, but join to their efficient medical work devoted services to the souls of their patients. They uphold and spread the faith by their influence and often obtain baptism and the Sacraments for the sick and the dying. A new enterprise has lately been dertaken by the Franciscan Sisters— a Leper Settlement at Nvenga Mission. So far the work for lepers in Uganda, of whom there is so sad a list in the land. has been almost entirely in the hands of non-Catholics. Therefore, sufferers have had to accept the care of Samaritans on the condition of receiving religious services with the injections. Now the freedom of conscience of Catholics will be secured

Chaos Among Scientists EINSTEIN GREATLY DLSTURBED• The abstruse mathematical thesis of Abbe Lemaitre, distinguished priestscientist, of the University of Louvain, occupied the most prominent place in the discussions of physicists at the recent meeting in London of the British Association for the Advancement of Science ,The Abbe's expanding universe was recently referred to in an editorial in the New York "Times" as having made "Einstein's static, cylindrical model look as oldfashioned as a high-wheel bicycle." The upshot of the discussions seems to be that the scientists are in violent and apparently irreconsilable disagreement concerning a number of things that have been hitherto accepted with some complacency. Einstein is so disturbed that he is contemplating a second visit to Mount Wilson Observatory in California, to see what can be done The scientists taking part about it. in the London discussions were Jeans, Erldington, Milikan, Lodge, Milne, and a number of others who might be regarded as amateurs by comparison. Abbe Lemaitre's thesis had previously been presented to the Royal Astronomical Society of London. It is based largely on a peculiar phenomenon observed at Mount Wilson by which the stars on the boarders of the telescopically visible universe are very red, which is taken to mean that these stars are running away with incredible speed. It Hence, the expanding universe. this be true —and be it said, the Abbe's thesis seems just now tip hold the field —then many modern theories will have to be scrapped and new and much shorter ages will have to be assigned to the stars.

The Prisons Dept. of the R.S.F.S.R. ( Russia Proper) has issued an official summary of the economic results achieved since January by the inclusion of convict labour and prison enterThe prises in the Five-Year-Plan. summary states that, generally speaking; the supply of convict labourers w as maintained satisfactorily during the first half of the year, and four prison districts more than fulfilled their programme, although nine others did not produce the expected results. The best districts were the Urals, the Western and Northern Provinces, and the Far _East, but Moscow also did tolerably well. The programme of convict labour for the second half of 1931 in West Siberia, the Northern and Western Provinces, and North Caucasus considerably exceeds that for the first half, and Lintin, Acting Chief Director of Prisons in the R.S.F.S-R., has instructed the directors of all convict labour organisations to hasten production, not only by carrying out the full programme for this half-year, but also by regaining the lost ground of the first half, particularly in the timber work ing, metal, leather, (parrying, textile, and food industries. The Cernmissariat for Justice ef the R.S.F.S.R. recently published a statement to the effect that the compulsory

labour camps consist almost exclusively of people not employed in manual labour before imprisonment; in 1929 such inmates of Soviet prisons and camps were 4 per cent. of the total number of prisoners, but the proportion rose to 35 per cent. in 1931. At a recent conference at the State Institute on the study of crime, Krylenko, the Commissar of Justire, explained that the Soviet Government was now working out a new theory for prison work - which repudiates as a political error attempts to reform class enemies." Such prisoners must be used for Socialist purposes, but ;warders must abandon the practice of regarding them as individuals. They must be regarded collectively as an alien mass. He stated that the prisons formerly cost the State 14.000.000 roubles annually. "Formerly we shrank from developing forced labour," but now, although not fulfilling the whole of the prison programme embodied in the Five-Year Plan, the prisons produce a profit which is highly satisfactory. Utevsky, the penitentiary specialist, told the conference that it was necessary to offer "class enemies" certain privileges only as a means of getting better results from their labour. .111 attempts to reform They must them must be avoided. be isolated, subdued, and trained he manual eang labour-

Warm Tribute from alt,nevs.‘ The annual review of the tional Labour Office at. Geneva,Intern& created under Article 338 of the Versailles Treaty, in which is presented a survey of national and international 'Labour movements and of results obtained sa labour legislation, devotes more then six pages to laudatory comment on the efforts of the Catholic Church to bring about the solution of labour problem. and to advance the cause of the work. er.

The

programme of the Catholic Church, the review says, is "inspired by principles of justice, dignity, and 805. darity, which thus link it up with the outlook and action of the International Labour organisation. First of all, the report notes the ie termined effort made by ecclesiastical authorities to propagate the doctrine of the Encyclical, "Rerum Novarum," among all classes of society, employers and workers alike- Continuing, the re view says: Pope's Maws.

PERTH, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 6, 1932.

Carrying On The primary schools of the Archdiocese re-opened their doors on Tuesday last for the resumption of studies after the Christmas vacation. From their holidays our Catholic youth return to take up their school work, laid aside for awhile, refreshed and ready, we trust to renew with even greater application and energy the cultivation of their mind in the class-room, and to take advantage of the opportunities given them there to continue the development of their minds for the serious work that assuredly lies before every boy and girl who thinks of a career in the world beyond their school-days. "Life is earnest, life is real ;" it is not a playground, and success can only be attained in the world by work and sacrifice. "If," as is said, "the boy is father to the man," the diligent student in his class-room begins his first steps in his career, and the measure of his success as student will in great part reflect his work in after years in whatever state his vocation is.

The results of last year's examinations have been most satisfactory. In an outstanding and especial manner they show the excellence of the instruction imparted to our children by the selfsacrificing Sisters and Brothers of our Catholic schools. Without beat of drum or blare of trumpet, they have worked without earthly fee or hope of reward for the sacred cause of Christian education. Their great and noble purpose only, the preparation of their charges so that they may fight the good fight in the world, and be worthy witnesses of their Faith—that, in fine, they may he good citizens and worthy of the esteem of their fellow-man. After a brief respite from the wear and worry of the class-room, they return to their labours and cheerfully shoulder again their burden of shaping the plastic minds of our children by moral counsels and instruction, and directing their young lives so that they may avoid the pitfalls of Materialism and have a respect for the ordinances of religion, for they know that a Society without religion has no ideals worth speaking of, no commanding virtues, and little, if any, respect for moral standards. •

•

The duty of Catholic parents and guardians is to see that their charges are given a Christian education. Their further duty is to shelter those charges from the vicious influences of that secularism which denies the Divinity of Christ and His Revelation. The present is an .anxious time for parents. Boys who have reached the school-leaving age have little to hope for in the way of employment. They are faced with an over-crowded labour market. Parents will be well advised to keep their boys at school until better economic conditions prevail. Whilst they are a-‘. school, they are improving their mentality, and are being sheltered from unwholesome influences: but, thrown into idleness, there is the dar“z-er of them becoming waters and an anxiety to their relatives. Better he cautious—send your boy to school. Please God, the cloud of unemployment will lift and better days are ahead.

• We congratulate our teaching Sisters and Brothers on the excellent results of their labours during last year ,and trust that the arduousness of their task of instructing our Catholic youth will find ameriities in the increased loyalty, respect. and affection of their pupils.

Living With the Church Read Our Calendar Weekly February 8.—St. John of Matha, Confessor. Double. White. St. John, a native of Provence, France, devoted his life to the rescuing of Christians held as slaves by the Mahometans. Together with St. Felix of Valois, he founded the Order of the Most Holy Trinity for the Redemption of Christian Captives. The Order grew rapidly, and did great work for the Church. February 9.—St. Cyril of Alexandria, Bishop. Confessor and Doctor of the Church. Double. White. 2, St. C Arpep eodl.onia. Virgin and Martyr. A t the Council of Ephesus, in 431, St. Cyril, a legate and representative of Pope St. Celestine, was foremost in condemning the heretical teaching of Nestorius, and upholding the Catholic doctrine that there is only one Person in Jesus Christ, and that the Blessed Virgin is truly the Mother of God. This exposition was received by the people with enthusiastic joy, but Nestorius had influenced certain secular powers and for a time St. Cyril had to undergo insult and imprisonment He died A.D. 444. February 10—Ash Wednesday (Fast and Abstinence,. Purple, 2, St. Scholastica. Virgin. Lenten Preface. The ceremony the blessing of the ashes takes place before Mass. As the priest makes the Sign of the Cross on our foreheads with the blessed ashes, he says: "Remember man that thou art dust, and unto dust thou shalt return." We receive them "as a sign that with humble heart we crave forgiveness." "During these Lenten days we should very carefully keep our life pure, and at the same time atone for the shortcomings of other times . . . should busy ourselves with fervent prayer, spiritual reading, contrition of heart, and selfdenial: bring sacrifices freely and beyond our visual obligation to our loving God in the joy of the FL ,ly Spirit: and thus . . . we await the holy feast ot Eastcr with a joy and desire that the spirit of God awakens in us." (St. Benedict.) February 11—Our Lady of Lourdes. Greater Double. White. 2, Of the Feria. Preface of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Last Gospel of the Feria. To-day the Church commemorates the apparitions of Our Lady, Mary Immaculate. to Bernardette at Lourdes, and the marvels of grace and mercy wrought there since. It is the anniversary of the first apparition. Year after year pilgrims flock to Lourdes. A committee of eminent scientists, of 'various nationalities and differing in their beliefs, examine and weigh the evidence concerning each cure that is announced: and time after time they are obliged to declare that science can give no explanation. Just as Our Lord changed water into wine, at the marriage feast of Cana, at the wish of His Blessed Mother, so He continues to bestow favours upon mankind through Her intercession. February 12.—The Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order. Double. White. 2. Of the Feria: 3, For. the Pope. Lenten Preface- I.ast Gospel of the Feria. The Seven Holy Founders of the Ser. vite Order were young noblemen of Florence, who established an Order which propagated devotion to the Seven Dolours of the Blessed Virgin They led a life of great ausMary. terity. Each of the seven founders was remarkable for the holiness of his life, and for the power of working miracles. This is the anniversary of the Coronation of His Holiness Pope Pius XI.

"And withersoever He entered, into towns, or into villages, or cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought Him that they might touch but the hem of His garment: and as many as touched Him were made whole." They drew near to Jesus, trusting in Him, and He rewarded them. as He always rewards those who have faith in Him. "Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee."

The Archdiocese

The Rt. Rev. Monsignor Verling pre. sided over a meeting of the St. Pat. rick's Day Celebration Committee, at the Cathedral Hall, on Monday, Ise February. It was decided that the celebrations for 1932 should take the form of an Irish play, at His Majesty's Theatre, on the night of March 17, and that the procession and sports would not be held owing to the existing finals cial depression. . The play selected for production is the now famous "Larry O'Moore " written by that talented writer Cecil Clarke. This play, when first produced in Tonwoomba, received the approbation of the Bishops and the clergy, who were privileged to be present. His Excellency the Apostolic Delegate (Most Rev. B. Cattaneo) is a pa& senger on the Italian ms. "Romolo," which will pass through Fremantle in the 13th. inst.

According to word which was recently received by the Vatican Commission for Russia, Bishop Maximus, head of the Orthodox Diocese of Serpoukhof, was shot on July 6, of last year, because he refused to recognise the authority of Metropolitan Sergius, who adhered to the Soviet Government- The Rev.

SOCIAL NOTES Great interest is being paid this season to hats, bags, and shoes, and the smart women will so arrange that all these match. For instance, a shady Panama, banded with black patent leather. would be quite en vogue with a white seude bag with black pipings and clasps, and worn with black shoes having white strappings. Any one of the delightful summer dresses could be worn. The quite long dress for day wear has not become popular, as women feel that the Australian climate is more suited to the shorter frock. It is certainly more hygienic than the trailing robe. Many ladies are wearing trails or posies of natural flowers as adornment for their evening frocks. With care in the arrangement, they can he made to Of look quite fresh for many hourscourse, it takes from the smart appearance of a toilette if the flowers become at all wilted and only those should be chosen which will not quickly There is also a lose their freshness. great charm about our fresh flowers. •

WITH THE WA. TOURING GIRLS.

The hundreds of coloured streamers made a pretty picture as the motes vessel Manunda moved from her berth at Melbourne. with the 76 W.A. girls and their leaders on board. They certainly have won the hearts of our Eastern The run to Adelaide was confreres. uneventful, though once again seasickness forced some to retire early. Rumours of wharf trouble at Port Adelaide were freely circulating, but when the boat arrived everything appeared normal, and a train to the city was boarded. Here the party was met and welcomed by representative citizens. The first visit was to Government house, where Lady Hare-Rutia yen shook hands with every member of the party. Her Ladyship is keenly interested in the Girl Guide movement, and was pleased to see that many of the girls were Guiders. Special trams were placed at our disposal by the Government, and a run of six miles brought us to Glenelg--- -a charming seaside resort. Here the Mayor and Mayoress of Glenelg extended a warm welcome to the W.A. girls, and later entertained the party at luncheon. The Director of Education, Mr. Adey, also came along ,and he brought Mrs. Adey. When he mentioned that his wife was a West Australian, the girls gave her three hearty c heers. At Glenelg there is a finelyappointed Luna Park, but the "figures" do not work until after 2 pan. But once again we had to move on, and soon we were back in Adelaide. That city was determined to outdo all the others in the warmth of its welcome, for by 2,30 p.m. the mercury stood at 110 deg. plus, in the shade. The heat, however, was merely an incident, and spirits were high as all were packed into buses tor a run to Morialta Falls. The visit was much enjoyed, and all are very grateful to their Adelaide friends for a pleasant day, despite the weather conditions. Nothing untoward happened at the wharf, and promptly at noon the following day the Manunda moved from the pier on the last lap to Fremantle. I had almost forgotten to say that our girls broadcasted from Adelaide someef their solos, recitations, and choruses, and one little girl in a very neat speech thanked Eastern Australia for their many kindnesses, and hoped that in the near future we would get an opportunity of reciprocating same. The girls now began to talk of home, and how glad they would be to see West Australia once again. On the Manunda, as on the Karoola and the 'Orungal," the captain and all his staff exerted themselves to make the trip a memorable one. On the last evening. c aptain Sunter dined with the girls, and he presented to each one a metal plaque of the vessel, as a memento. Needless to say they were all very thrilled and with one accord they rose and sang "For he's a jolly good fellow." No warning gongs were needed next. morning, as all were ready to disembark long before the vessel reached Port. But even on that last morning autograph books were again produced. E vidently there was a budding poetess on board, as I onticed the following in one book: "Oh, Melbourne's sights are wondrous

This will give a glaze, and the articles ;. tarched will keep clean longer. Apples can be peeled easily if they are first steeped in boiling water for a minute.

The Meaning of Good Citizenship Preaching in his Cathedral, Dr. Downey, Archbishop of Liverpool (Eng.), described the world at the present time as being in the midst of a "revolutionary tempest"-- -a tempest aroused by insubordination, selfishness and selfseeking, and appealed for loyalty to national and local authorities. "Good citizenship," said the Archbishop, "is not the feeble, drifting, colourless thing which so often usurps the name"It is not an anaemic negative virtue eiinsisting simply in not breaking laws or in not falling into the hands of the police; it is not something passive, static, apathetic, on the contrary. it is something active, dynamic. energetic: it is something vital, virile, intense. the intelligent, eager. willing co-operation with lawfully constituted civic authority for the common-weal. "Nowadays we are apt to hear more of citizen rights than of citizen duties. In fact, in the new concept of democracy little is said of one's duties; the up-ti)-date thing is to insist on one's rights, and enlarge them to the horizon. "It is undeniable that there is a general spirit of unrest abroad, a growing t endency to insubordination, a selfishness and a self-seeking which glorifies licence into liberty. "Undoubtedly man has certain natural rights, and these may be summarised comprehensively under the headings of life, liberty, marriage and property. • • • "These rights of the individual are inalienable, as also are the higher rights of the State to govern and use all means necessary for the peace and wellbeing of the people. And yet to-day it is precisely these basic rights which are assailed by those who would abolish heaven and give us a new earth. "In the present state of world reN-0 t. there are uprisings against authority in nearly every civilised country in the world, uprisings which ignore the rights of both the individuals and the State, and it is high time that good citizens in this land made a stand against this revolutionaia tempest, "We must especially beware of the psychological factor known as mental contagion. a ubt/e poisonous thing disguised as a remedy for our present discontents, imperceptibly spreading amongst us the inhumanities, immoralities. and barbarities of a Godless State. "But. thank God, this nation has confidence in its rulers. . . . "The first duty of the citizen is obedience to law. The obligation extends to the ordinances both of the State and of the municipality. However, mere compliance with the letter of the law does not constitute good citizenship: there is the further duty of proper regard, for public authority, that is to say, proper regard both for our public officials themselves and for their enactments. "The time-spirit of the age is to minimise this regard, partly because of a false application of the principles of democracy, partly because of the ternp,)rary nature of the tenure of mane

public offices, and partly because of the truculent attitude of undisciplined minds which refuse to give honour where honour is due. -It is to be borne in mind that those who hold public offices are the legitimate possessors .and guardians of constitutional powers, and as such deserving of our esteem and consideration. -Presumably they are acting conscientiously. impartially, and to the best of their abilities, and therefore they should always be given 'the benefit of the doubt, if there be .1TIV doubt, as to the wisdom of their policy, for closely connected with the duty of re. spect is that of loyalty, by which is meant faithfulness and constancy in A llegiance and service. "I do not mean that we are called upon to endorse everything done by public bodies, and still less that there should be no official opposition in tlei council; that would be to stultify one's reason: but we ought to avoid a carping and critical spirit and an unsympathetic attitude towards those who bear the heavy burden of office. "It ma" even happen that on occasion public officials are in posseesion of knowledge ant available to the general public, and they must need stand silent and hear themselves condemned, because it is inexpedient in the higher interest that they should defend themselves. . . . "There is, too, a further vital duty of good-citizenship which requires the various social groups, into which citizens are divided, to respect one an. ether's aims and aspirations. to recognise beneath differences of policy a fundamental fellowship in working for the common good and, above all,. to cultivate towards each other that charity which is patient, kind, envieth not, dealeth not perversely, and thinketh no evil. "In the present crisis we are called upon as citizens to adopt a helpful attitude to those invested with civic authority, to foster a feeling of esteem and reverence towards them. and to o-a,- that their minds may be enlightened and their wills strengthened for the due performance of their arsluous t asks. In these perilous days our civic rulers are entitled to our syns pathetic support. . . . "We remember how. 17 years ago, the sudden outbreak of war brought amongst us instantly and dramaticallY a completely united front.

Edwards reported on the meeting of the Social Committee, and it was subsequently decided to leave ever to the next meeting arrangements for coming social events. It is with much sorrow that we have to record the death of Bro. de Lacey, who passed away during the week. Words cannot adequately express the life-long efforts and repeated sacrifices which this Brother has made in the interests of the HA.C.B.S. Bro. de Lacey.was one of the pioneers who laid the foundation of the flourishing society that exists to-day. With his death the society loses the last of its f oundation members, a member whose place in the minds of all Hibernians will be hard to fill. A motion of sympathy was carried in the customary manner, and a donation for Masses was Passed. R.f P. for Arrangements the river excursion to be held the fol. lowing evening were finalised.

THE RECORD. St. Brigid's Branch, West Perth. The usual fortnightly meeting took place on Monday, January 21st. The President (Bro. Bryson/ presided over a fair attendance of members. Apologies for non-attendance were received for the vice-president (Sister N. Webb) Correspondence and Sr. D. Furlong. was received from the S. and S.

Gilbertson. who will have returned from England by that date. As our President remarked, Sr. Gilbertson has done great work in the interests of the society, and he did not think it necessary to remind members to be present and se help to make the evening a success, and at the same time show their appres ciation of her good work. It was pleasing to hear of the possibility of the branch enrolling two new lady members in the near future. At all times the branch is on the look out for new members, and undoubtedly these two young ladies would prove a great asset to the society. Prior to the closing of the meeting, the President urged all members to be present at the next meeting. to be held on Monday, the 7th. inst.. as it is an important one. St. Kevin's Branch, Subiaco. The fortnightly meeting of the above branch was held on January 21. Sister Sick pay P. Williamson presided. amounting to £2 us 8d was passed for payment. It was reported that Bro.

A good performance should be witnessed. Brother Hibernians. you will need to work hard to Our own defeat St. Kevin's team' branch picnic. held on January 17, was a delightful outing, by those who made the trip. It was rather disappointing that a larger number of our branch members were not present, but all who attended reported a most enjoyable day. Not the least part of the day's pleasure was the willing help given by several of our young men members who attended to the boiling water and other necessary adjuncts to a successful picnic. and the thanks of the picnicers are extended to them. The secretary reported that as several members of the District Board would he away, he had been advised the Board members would not visit St. Joseph's Church on February 7, as had -ben reported, but arrangements were made to address the people after first Mass on March 6.

a big increase in our membership roll The resignation as after this visit. warden was tendered by Bro. E. Leahy, and accepted with regret. Bro. Leahy's work takes him away, and he is unable to attend the meetings. Alter discussion, it was decided to receive norninations to fill the vacant position at the next meeting.

After the closing prayers were read by the President, bridge and euchre tables were arranged, and a pleasant card evening spent by the Members present.

Noted Negro Actor Tells of His Conversion The kindness of a Catholic prit and Catholic nuns, led to the conversion of Daniel L. Haynes, a young Negro actor, who once studied for the Protestant ministry and who now has given more than SOO performances of Adam and Hezdrel in "The Green Pastures," according to an interview he has given to a writer for "Our Sunday Visitor." A 13-year-old cousin whom he dearly loved lay dying in Washington, the interview sets forth, and Mr. Haynes. always deeply religious. suggested that After waiting a minister be called. -gime hours, the minister failed to arrive and the life of the young girl continued to ebb. Mr. Haynes, for a reason he is unable to explain, he said. decided to call a priest. The priest came and soon after he departed. two Catholic nuns arrived to stay with the young girlThese two Sisters were relieved by two others who remained with the girl until she died. Without consulting anyone, the interview further reveals. Mr. Haynes, then a Mason, bought an inexpensive c atechism and learned every word of it Then, and only then, he by heart. said, did he approach a priest--the Rev. C. J. Plunkett.

Fremantle C.Y.M.S. As was anticipated, the moonlight river excursion, which our Society conducted just recently, turned out a great success, and judging by the opinions voiced by the majority of those present. everyone seemed to have a most enjoyable time. In spite of the warm evening, the young people were very keen on the dance, which was held at Kelly's Tea Rooms, which was clearly shown by the number of couples who thronged the dance floor the whole of the evening. Owing to the popularity of this excursion, and at the request of numerous patrons, a similar event will probably be arranged in the near future. the date of which will he published in these columns. The Society's General Communion for members was held at St. Patrick's Church, on Sunday, January 24, when a fair number of members received Holy Communion in a body. Unfortunately, owing to the limited seating accommodation, a large number of members were forced to sit in other parts of the church, away from the general body of members. It is the intention of the Society to hold its annual picnic at the Zoological Gardens. South Perth. on Sundae March 13. and intending patrons are advised to keep this date clear as it is the intention of the social committee t o make this the event of the season. Further details will be made availa%sle in the near future. "I may seem a brute. Ellen," said a yr.ung man.

News and Notes ( Continued from Page 11. An interesting and unusual event has just taken place in Rome, with the appointment of a Scottish laird to the position of a "Chierico beneficiato," or beneficed clerk, at the Basilica of St. Peter. The recipient of this singular honour—for he has the distinction of being the only British subject attached to the staff of the Vatican Basilica—is the Rev. Thomas F. Croft-Fraser, who also happens to be Laird of CastleFraser and Inveralochy, Aberdeenshire, to which estates he became heir on the death of his uncle, the late Colonel Mackenzie-Fraser. Mother Marcella, of the Oblates of the Assumption, France, has given her blood to save lives on forty-two occaShe is directress of the clinic sions. of Dr. Pauchet where blood transfusion is a frequent occurrence, so much so that a regular staff of professional donors are on call. But transfusion is often extremely urgent. and it is then that Mother Marcella donates hers. Iother Marcella spent eighteen years in the foreign mission field, but returned to France in 1914 where she was placed in charge of a hospital. Since the war she has been directress of the Pauchet clinic. The Sisters of St. John of God, Broome, 'W.A., would be grateful for a small second-hand harmonium and second-hand sewing machine, for their new Novitiate at Beagle Bay, or would pay Three pera small price for same. petual lamps are kept lighted for donors and special prayers offered for their intentions by the Sisters and little ?

the Catholic

Paper WHAT A JESUIT ORGAN SAYS. "It cann • be denied that the Catholic pre s , does not receive the support that it should. From the highest to the lowest. Church authorities urge its support and extol its usefulness; but. notwithstanding this, Catholic papers and Catholic magazines are not bought and read as they deserve," says the "Walburgian." the organ of the Jesuit parish of St. Walburge. Preston, England"There are Catholics who are indifferent about their religion in general. We need not waste time with them. They- are indifferent about much more essential things than -the books and papers they read. It is, indeed, just possible that it is the books and papers they do not read that make them indifferent about those other more essention things. Religion as a need in their lives does not occur to them: much less does a Catholic paper occur to them as a need to help their religion. "There are others--good Catholics, a ccording to their light--who would not care to be seen reading a Catholic paper in public. They don't like to make to much of a song about their They are just a wee bit. religion. sorry that their religion is not the fashionable one. They would like atways to go 'with the band': and, as they are forced by insistent conscience not 'to do this, they don't like to publish too loudly the fact that they have to 'fall out' from the big parade. They do just what they have `to do.' and no more; and that which they do they 'camouflage' as much as they can. "Such a one is not going to let his non-Catholic neighbours come in and Cee anything so common as a Catholic Ah well! as the paper lying about. Paying is, 'it is his funeral.' A Church that a Premier Duke, a Lord FitzAlan, a Lord Denbigh, a Marshal Foch are not ashamed to own can very well afford to pity him The "Superior" Catholic. "Then there is the superior and—in his own opinion—the brainy Catholic. To him everything ecclesiastical is retregrade and everything professedly Catholic is necessarily feeble. For women. yes, if they will For the uneducated, yes again! Catholic papers are about fitted for their mental capacity. • But for him, most certainly NO! 'Well. the Church which could count among her children intellects like a Thomas Aquinas. a Galileo. a Galvani, a Mendel, etc-. will carry on. even if he leaves it. But let him meditate on the saying of the great Pasteur, who affirmed that 'the mare he knew the more his faith assimilated itself to that of a Breton peasant. and that he was quite sure that, if he knew all he wanted to know, his faith would be as great as that of the Breton peasant's wife.'

• Lastly, we have the utilarian Catholic. He has no use for a paper that does not give him absolutely the most useful stuff to assist him in his business. His paper must tell him a hundred things that no Catholic paper does tell him. He forgets, though, that his Catholic paper will tell him a hundred things that no other paper tells him; and he forgets that these things are of as much use—perhaps even more use— to him than the things that are lacking. "And, in any case, there is no objection at all to taking half a dozen editions of half a dozen other papers for information and useful news which your Catholic paper will not give. It is claimed only that you ought to take also a Catholic paper for the no less necessary and useful information and news that your secular paper does not give."

Mexico's Tribute to Our Lady A MILLION PEOPLE PAY HER HOMAGE. Nearly a million persons took part in the solemn ceremonies which marked the fourth centenary of the Apparition Guadalupe, and of Our Lady of brought to its point of highest interest a festival which began on December 1.

The Name of Jesus

St. Joseph's Ex-Student's Asseciaim

CHRIST IS ABIDING IN THE WORLD. The Name of Jesus is holy because it belonged to Christ, the Son of God. Others of His nation bore that name before His time, but it belonged to Him by right, and to Him alone did it apply in its full significance—for the name means "Saviour." • No name or title ever belonged so fully to any human being. There have been men who received honourable !fames specially chosen for them—so a scientist may be called a "benefactor of humanity" or a philanthropist a "friend of the poor"—but, however deserved may be these names, they can 'be applied only in a very restricted sense, whereas Christ is Saviour in the very fullest sense. He is the Saviour e f the whole human race, and none , .ther but He could be Saviour. Hence He has "a name which is above all other names, to which honour must be paid in heaven, on earth and under the earth-" (Phil. 2, 9-10 The Name of Jesus is a name of majesty. at the sound of which demons tremble and at whose invocation they rendered helpless: it is a name of might and power, for it has opened heaven, closed the gates of hell, caused idols to fall, raised the dead to life, and made the lame to walk and the blind to see, and "there is no other name under heaven given to men w hereby we must be saved." (Acts, 4, 12. ; it is a name of holiness, for it was brought down from heaven by an angel before Christ became man; it is a name full of sweetness, for it expresses the boundless love of Him Who bore it, and it promises to those that invoke it remission of sin, deliverance from the dangers of hell, and the possession of heaven: it is a name of majesty, of power. of holiness and of sweetness, because it belongs to Him Who is God, the King of kings, the Holy One, the .\11-Merciful. The Holy Name was given to Christ oid belonged to Him in His relation t o mankind whom He came on earth to save. and it stands for all that His coming meant to men- It stands, for us, for courage and hope. two things of w hich we are in the greatest need. The coming of Christ on earth brought courage to mankind, because He was "Emmanuel—God with us," and no danger can dismay those who feel that their Creator and their Lord is in their midst. a Man among men. The Holy Name brings the same courage to us, for it reminds us that the presence of Christ is abiding in the world. that He is always near to give us grace and strength. that His power is . undiminished and His love unceasing The coming of Christ brought hope to the world, for He Who was the great Healer and the great Consoler. taught men to look to where hope could he found, to look beyond the passing troubles and privations and disappointments of this life to an eternal life and an eternal reward. The Holy Name is a symbol of hope for us, for it recalls the triumph over death and pain of Him Who bore it—it recalls the Manger and the Cross, and the hard :- ad trodden from the one to the .ther, that an easier road May be )pened to us from earth to heaven. The Name of Jesus is our only sure talisman in the dangers, trials and necessities of this life, for to invoke it means that we turn to Him Who not only showed us the way to cows age and hope, but is also our only source of strength. Too often have we sought help and consolation where none is to be found, while we have failed to -urn to Him Who is the Divine Consoler. the Saviour of men, the God Whose power is only equalled by His mercy. A t the beginning of this New Year at the very portal of which is emblazoned this sacred Name, we could make no better resolution than always to invoke the Name of Jesus in all our trials and temptations, all our dangers and afflictions The mere invocation of the Holy Name will bring us the strength and assistance we require, for to pronounce it is a prayer, an act of Faith in Him Who was man and God and an act of- supplication to Him Who was Saviour. It is at all times an efficacious prayer. for it is an appeal to Christ under His Own Name, the Name that discribes Him as the Giver of the greatest of gifts, the gift of Himself for our Redemptions—Rev T. F. Ryan, 5.1. Professor: "Why did you not answer :ny question?" Student: "I did, sir. I shook my head." Professor: "Well. you don't expect me to hear it rattle from here, do you' •

That man is not really honest whose honesty is based on the mercenary conviction that honesty is the best policy. A man requires a high degree of virtue to carry dazzling success without succumbing to the pride that ends in a fall. Among the uses to which the gift of imagination should be put is to place ourselves in our less fortunate neighbour's shoes and thus he moved to extend to him practical Christian sympathy.
