lndulging in those forms of amusements,
provided the affair which they attend is not
conducted under Catholic auspices.
1t is recommended that parents falling to
send their children to Catholic schools be
not required. as at present, to explain to
the Archbishop their reasons. but that they
be allowed to confer with their pastor on
the matter, and that he be allowed to ex-
cuse them.
1t is also recommended that the rule COM
polling pastors to establish a parochial
school III a parish within two years after
assuming charge be abolished, 1t has been
found that in some cases it was impossible
to comply with the rule for lack of money.
1t is proposed that the rule obligating
Catholics TO receive communion in their re-
spective parish churches at Easter time be
changed to allow them to receive in any
Catholic church. Other changes recon-
mended concern the duties of priests.
The general committee in charge of the
suggestions is composed of the Reverend
William Faerber. pastor of st. Mary's
Church. Third and Gratiot streets; the
reverend John H. May, pastor Of the
church of st. Thomas of Aquin. Iowa ave
nue. and Usage street, and the Reverend
FRANCIS G%ilillan. assistant pastor of the
new Cathedral Chapel, Maryland and New
stead avenues.
Inc rules governing the diocese at pres
ent have been in force since the SYNOD of
1896 when they were adopted. That was
the first synod held in the ST. Louis diocese
under the administration OF Archbishop
Kahn. and none has been held since. The
recommendations. to become laws. must he

Archbishop.

Popular demand for successive public i'm
p~rovements, once a beginning has beer
made toward making a city inviting, is but
the natural consequence of appreciation Of
better municipal conditions. After one
good street is constructed and paved well,
Transforming an ordinary road into a sub
stantial avenue, the people clamor for mora
good streets and then insist upon having
the paved streets kept clean.
Upon this theory Comptroller James Y.
Player bases high hopes for a bright and
prosperous future for st. Louis. He has
supreme confidence in the people and be-
lieves that popular opinion generally Is in
fallible when directed in the proper channel.
Observation and experience have convinced
him that the citizens are not averse 20
paying for public improvements when they
are reasonably certain that their money
will be judiciously expended.
The people of St. Louis do. in fact, he
says, earnestly desire a prettier. cleaner
city, and they will insist upon extensive i'm

in the public a trust that will be equivalent
TO a conscientious regard for the obligations

One good street is an Inspiration for prog

Louis take the proper view of local pub

and are willing to pay fir it. provided they
know their money will not be wasted. Their
motto is: SO many dollars, for value re-

WHEN THE AIR is coRNERsp.
Can 1t Be That an Oxygen Octopus Il
Amonu the Possibilities.

Among the possibilities.
1t is reported that Prof. Moore, the
chief Of the weather bureau. has in
vented cold air stove which, when
charged with certain unnamed sub
stances, will give off from the bot
tom constant current of air at about
SO degrees, and keep the room in
which it is placed at temperature
of between 60 and 20, no matter how
hot the day. This invention comes
with particular appropriateness from
the weather bureau; disappointed SO
fulfilled, it has wisely decided not on
ly TO promise but to deliver the
goods. With all the old ways of warm
ing the air, with the new stove for
cooling it and with the national irri
cation bill become law, we seem to
have the weather at our mercy. There
is still excessive rainfall to be con
tended with, but this is not common
occurrence; besides, there are umbrel
las.
The announcement of the cold all
stove is reminder that never before
was the air we breathe so freely tam
pered with. Is there, soon, going to be
any air to breathe? Apparently the
cold air stove does not consume air;
it simply cools it; and if we wish we
can warm it up again with an old fash
toned stove in the next room. Bu
the manufacture of liquid air uses
| gaseous air in quantities, and now i
is announced that at Niagara Falls it is
proposed with the abundant electric
| supply, to make nitrates from air fol
fertilizers and other purposes. 1t is
even predicted that the time Is ap
preaching when the wheat fields of the
world will be fortified by nitrates pro
| duced directly from the atmosphere.
But to fertilize the wheat fields o
the world is going to take up prodi
gious quantity of air. Where is thu
air coming from? Is nature turnin,
out air all the time, or was the worlt
at the start provided with its air stock
and do we breathe the same air made
use Of by Adam, with slight loss 0
Eden flavor and touch of soft Goa
smoke? If the last is true some gen
ius must soon invent an air-makin
process. and air plants will have to b
set up here and there. The time ma
even come when we shall get our al

venient parcels. But, if the whea
crop is trebled by the air-drawn fert
lizers, bread will be cheap and we cal
afford to buy air. Think, however, G

WHAT HICKS SAYS.
Predictions Are That Many Storms
Will Take Place,


There are many Ottumwa people
who pin their faith to Prof. ri Hicks,
the weather prophet. These persons
may govern themselves by the follow
ing predictions which Professor Hicks
says is the situation as he sees it:
The third and fourth of August are
central days of reactionary storm dis
turbances. On, and touching these
days the temperature will rise to eli
max of warmth, and barometric read
ings will fall, progressively from west
to east, ending in threatening clouds,
with thunder, light rains and heavy
buster in many sections. On the fifth
the earth passes between the sun and
the great world Jupiter. near the new
moon on the third and the moons pas
sage over the celestial equator on the
sixth. These facts will necessitate eX-
cessively warm weather, and if violent
electrical storms do not result seismic
pertubations will be most natural. 1t
is questionable whether cooler weather
or general and heavy rains will attend
these storms, during much of August.
We believe that very warm weather
with light precipitation-even hurtful
drouths are in store for most parts of
the country, until the latter part of the
month"; especially.
The Vulcan storm period central on
the ninth, covering the seventh to
| twelfth, will be marked by changes in
the thermometer and barometer, COM
mon to the storm periods, and the cul-
mination into storm, with more or less
precipitation, may be expected on and
touching the ninth, tenth and eleventh.
| This period may be watched with in
terest, as it may indicate one way or
another, much that may be in store for
us for weeks to come. 1t will probably
/, be warm and dry.
On the fourteenth, fifteenth and six
teenth reaction to storm conditions
will be noticeable-the barometer will
fall. warmth will increase, cloudiness
will ensue and rains, according to the
abundance or lightness prevailing in
the Mars period, will visit many parts
in transit from west to east.
Coming to the Vulcan period extend
ing from the eighteenth to twenty
third, we see by that Mars, Earth and
Mercury all lend their disturbing pow
ers to the period. During this period
We also find that the moon is at hel
full on the eighteenth and on the ce
lestial equator on the twenty-first.
If the present Mars period should
take the storm side of the dilemma
all the periods in the last half of Au
gust will bring general storms, some Of
them furious and fatal. The reaction
airy storms on and about the twenty
eighth, at the center of the Mercury
period. and near the moons last quar-
ter, north declination and perigee, viii
probably be fraught with violence ant
danger, especially along the south
coasts. We enter a regular storm per
iod as we pass out of August, the cri
sis of which will fall in the first three
days of September

: New Haven, Conn, Aug. LIN an
interview on the position taken by
Iowa republicans at their state conven-
ton this week, William J. Bryan says:
-"I am glad to see the republicans of
Iowa admit the necessity of tariff re-
form, for while it will strengthen the
republican party in that state for the
coming campaign, it will ultimately
weaken it, for the republicans cannot
permit any reference to reform in the
tariff without endangering their whole
system"
