That the telephone has its advant
ages, and is one of the greatest of
modern blessings, no one will contra.
dict, and that the long distance phone
should possess guardian angel quail
ties of the highest order the following
story goes to prove;
Johu-I will call him Johns the
most devoted of husbands 10 the world
and, while being a thorough good
fellow, never, no matter when or
where, forgets the dear little woman
who has been his firetender and sweet
heart these many years. Every day
Joha telephones her from the office
and if business take him out of town
he continues the 'phoning custom, or
when that is not possible, sends her a
message by wire. Last week John
had to leave the city on business, and
at the small town in which he found
himself was made to have a regular
royal time. However, at about 4 in
the afternoon, his life's habit lmpelled
HIM to make, I am afraid, a pretty
unsteady, way to telephone station
of long-distance connection. The
number was obtained, and in due
course of a few minutes Johns wife
called cheerily into his ear, "Is that
you, darllng.?"
"Yesh, m,love; I,sh, ,well?"
"When are you coming home,
dear?"
"Can shay, m'love (hiO; guesh it

"John," cried his better half sharp
ly, what's the matter with your voice?

ST. THOMAS DAY.


The Jsuai Ceremonies at the Cnth-
t'-. Ollie University
. The eth of March is the patronal feast
day-Feast of 81. Thomas Aquinas-of the
faculty of philosophy OF the Catholic Uni
Yersity. This year the feast was observed
with the usual ceremonies Pontlfieal mass
was sung by Most Rev Archbishop Keane,
with Rev John W Melody. of Chicago, as
assistant priest; Rev. Patrick j. Healy, Of
New York, as deacon; Rev Andrew j.
Burns, Of Chicago, as sub deacon, and Rev.
Daniel J. Sullivan of Peoria, and Rev. NJ
F. McSorley, Of Philadelphia, as masters
Of ceremonies The music was under the
direction of Rev. Placidus F. Feurst, o. s
B. Rev. F. T. Rocker. Secretary OF the
Papal Legation, preached the sermon.
Dr.. Rocker took as the theme of dis
course the particular benefit which ST.
Thomas Of Aqun has bestowed upon philo-
sophie studies, from the point Of view Of
the peculiar needs of ethical studies at the
present day. The thesis was that modern
ethics needs above all other things,
scientific basis from which to start and
upon which to build scientific superstruc-
tive That this basis is lacking in the mod
ern systems Of ethics Dr. Rocker showed
by considering the fact that modern sys-
facts to the will than their relation to
some standard by which their rectitude or
obliquity could be judged and he claimed
that this standard for ethics, just as for
all other sciences. can be nothing else than
some order which will govern and direct
human activities and human acts
After the ceremonies in the chapel there
was a convocation of the teaching corps
OF the university in the senate room, at
which the right reverend rector made a
statement concerning university matters
The members OF the faculty Of philosophy
together with the deans OF the other facul-
ties and the heads OF the affiliated col
leges. were entertained al dinner by the
rector. At 30 o'clock Rev Dr. Kerby
Professor Of Sociology. delivered his sec
ond lecture in the public course in the
Aula Maxima, Mcmahon Hall. on Social
Traditions" The exercises Of the day were
brought to a close by benediction Of the
blessed sacrament in the divinity chapel,
Caldwell Hall. at e o'clock.

POVERTY IN PORTO RICO.
The War Department issues n state
meut Regarding It.

The following statement regarding the
conditions in Porto Rico was issued by the
War Department yesterday:
The Acting Secretary Of War is In re-
ceipt OF a communication from General
! Davis upon the subject of food distribu-
! ton and the relief Of the destitute in
Porto Rico. 1t was the intention Of Cen
I eral Davis, as recently stated to the De
! partment, to discontinue the free distri-
button Of food about the LIST OF this month
/ but the industrial conditions existing in
| certain portions of the island rendered il
| absolutely necessary to continue to feed
the starving inhabitants for some time
/ longer.
| zone Of the districts where urgent ne
/ cessity still exists for feeding the people
/ is Manat, the report of the officer in
! charge showing that thousands of people
! have drifted into that district and are Dor
| derlng on starvation. 1t is stated that
! IN some sections the inhabitants are be-
| ginning to raise sweet potatoes. but in
| the center OF the island, or the coffee
! growing districts, there is nothing for the
poor to eat. Bananas and plantains will
not be ripe for some time, probably for
from two to four months.
Any disContinuance of the food dfstri-
| button. therefore, under these conditions
| would result in a large increase of sick
ness and of the death rate. The coffee
planters are making strenuous efforts to
clear up their fields. but having no money
for the payment of their hands. the la
borers have necessarily been laid of and
are drifting into the towns thereby be-
coming public charges. Unless fed at
public expense. starvation will result, and
the Military Governor has therefore re-
quested a shipment of five hundred tons Of
rice, Goldfish, and bacon, in addition to
the five hundred tons asked for about three
weeks ago
In connection with the existing indus
trial conditions, General Davis is of the
opinion that the quickest and most effect
i've way Of securing relief would be
through large expenditures upon public
works. BY carrying on road work in the
poorer districts, where the suffering is
greatest 1t is believed that relief could be
accomplished in a very short time, as such
a course would stimulate both industry
and commerce.
General Davis states that If he could
put about $4,000 men at work for a period
Of three months on the roads, involving
expenditures for labor. tools. and super
vision Of some 1923 600 a month, the period
OF acute distress could be tided ot~r.
The Acting Commlssary General of
Subsistence was today directed to secure
the food asked for by the Military Gov
ernOr Of Porto Ric, for immediate ship
ment The funds OF the Subsistence De
partment will be reimbursed, if possible
through the proposed legislation now
pending in Congress, appropriating $4,000
COO representing the duties collected on
Porto Rican imports into The United
States. Should Congress appropriate this
money for the benefit OF Porto Rice sys-
tenn Of public works and consequent re
lief as indicated by General Davis, could
be speedily put into execution

House" by Or. Satterlee brought the mat
ter to the attention Of the municipal au-
thorities. In October, 1895" he says. Il
! obtained permission from the Health Of
Acer Of the District Of Columbia to place
temporarily in a vault in the churchyard
Of St Adams Church, on the Tenleytown
Road, the remains Of Bishop Clagett and
his wife. Bishop Clagetf was the first
Bishop Of the Protestant Episcopal Church
in Maryland, which then included the area
now occupied by the District of Columbia.
For that reason and for his personal quail
tiles his memory is held in great reveT-
ence by all the members Of that body of
Christians in this District" After recit-
ing that the churchyard adjoins the ca
thedral grounds. the letter continues: 1t
was thought appropriate that the remains
Of the first Bishop who exercised his func-
lions in the District Of Columbia should
ultimately rest in the cathedral grounds
and it was for the purpose Of transferring
his remains to the intended cathedral that
they were placed in the present temporary
vault. In the reinterment Of the remains

manently inferred. ! respectfully ask that
you will grant me authority to perform

In the opinion submitted by the AttoT-

recited and supplemented by the following
