AGE FOR HOLY COMMUNION.

Ever since the beginning of his Pom
tihcate, Pope Plus x has shown
desire to have Catholic people awaken
to a fuller realization Of the great
blessing that is theirs in the Sacra-
ment of the Holy Eucharist. In De-
cember. 1905, he issued a decree rec
ommending all who were admitted to
the Sacrament to receive it as often as
possible-daily IL they could-provided
only that they approached the altar
IN the state Of grace and with the
right intention. On August 7th Of this
year he issued another decree which
will bring about decided change in
the age at which children are admitted
to receive Holy Communion.
Although the Council Of Trent held
to the ancient custom of admitting
children to Communion as soon as
they were able to distinguish between
ordinary bread and the Consecrated
Host difficulties arose in time as to
what age was necessary for the Sac
rament. Some held that ten years
was the proper age while others MAIN
tanned that such an august Sacrament
should not be given to children until
they had reached maturer years, some
holding that at fourteen was about the
proper age.
To this custom of keeping the little
ones away from the Blessed Sacrament
Pope Plus attributes many evils.
Children lose their innocence and are
deprived Of the sap Of interior life and
youth. deprived of this great help, is
led into vice. This, His Holiness con-
tends, can be avoided by permitting
the children to receive the Holy Eu-
charist in more tender years.
Hereafter the age at which a child
may receive the Sacrament of HOLY
Eucharist will be Identical with the
age at which it receives the Sacra-
ment of Penance. That will be the
age at which the child reaches the use
of reason or is able to distinguish he
tween right and wrong. The child will
not be required to have comprehen-
sive knowledge of the doctrines of the
Church. 1t will be sufficient for It to
know that Our Lord is present in the
Consecrated Host.
The following are the specific enact
ments set forth in the decree:
I. The age of discretion required
both for the confession and Commune
ion is the time when the child begins
to reason, that is, about the seventh
year, more or less. From this time on
the obligation of satisfying the pre-
cept of both confession and commun-
ion begins.
II. Both for first confession and
First Communion complete and per-
feet knowledge Of Christian doctrine
Is not necessary. The child will, how
ever, be obliged to gradually learn the
whole catechism according to Its abil-
ity.
III. The knowledge Of Christian
doctrine required in order to be prop
erly prepared for First Communion IL
that they understand according to
their capacity those mysteries of faith
which are necessary as a means of SAL
walton. that they be able to distinguish
the Eucharist from common and mate
rial bread. and also approach the sac
red table with the devotion becoming
their age.
Nv. The obligation Of the precept
Of confession and Communion which
rests upon the child falls back princi-
pally upon those in whose care they
are, that is. parents, confessors, teach

BOON TO AUTOIST
Rockford Inventor in Moline
Explaining Invention to Velie
Motor Company.
SELF STARTER AND PRIMER
Has Also Attachment for Use in
Snow, Which, However. Is Not
Protected by Patent.

c. H. Smith Rockford inventor, IS
in Moline comforting with the we've
Motor company with view of placing
a self-starting device he has patented
upon automobile engines. In addition
to the starter he has an automatic
primer that injects gasoline into all
four cylinders at once This Is done
for cold weather and for starting out
in the early morning The invention Is
also found useful in cases where 1t is
necessary to leave an automobile
standing out for a long period of time.
Regarding his patented starter Mr.
Smith says:
81 guarantee to start the machine
when it cannot be started with a
crank. Furthermore, it eliminates bro
ken arms, being run over by your own
machine, and the annoyance of having
people see your auto crank work hard
and asking why you do not get some
other make. There is also no getting
out in the mud to crank the machine
when, for some explained or unexplain-
ed reason, IL has come to a standstill
and you have TO dismount or still stand
there.
FITS ANY MACHINE.
"The starter is so situated that it
can be placed on any machine with
out interference with any of the other
parts. This Improvement on previous
inventions of starters makes 1t posi-
bic to start the engine from the seat
by simply pulling lever
Mr. Smith is here putting his starter
on a Velie car and testing it out for
The benefit of officials of the company.
Sample starters are worked successfully
On privately owned automobiles in diff
ferent parts of the country.
HAS SNOW ATTACHMENT.
The Rockford genius has invented A
sled attachment for an automobile.
Mr. Smith declares that use of the at
tachment makes it possible to get an
auto through the snow with minimum
consumption Of power and also gives
sensation identical with that of sleigh
ing. He says:
Anybody can make such an attach
ment. All that is necessary is to re-
move the rubber tires and place the
front wheels on runners made OF chan
mel iron--Go not use fat iron. it skids
too much Start your engine a-going
and the rear wheels will shove the
front runners over the snow at great
speed and you will be surprised at the
small amount of power that will be
consumed.
Necessity is the mother of inven-
ton I invented the sled attachment
because I wanted something of the sort
for my own use. 1t is not patented and
Is more of a curiosity than anything
else A lot of people in Rockford cop
led the idea and all are pleased with

back in the early history of Illinois
there was two-mill tax instituted to
be distributed to every district in the
state, and that school tax amounted to
100000 in 1873, and for the convent
ence of the auditor the amount was
changed to a stated sum, one million
dollars, 100000 more than the two
mill tax. And since 1873 every sue

that amount. while our wealth has

II Jim McAleer expects to better
local base ball conditions by means OF
trades he will have to part with some
Of the players who are highly esteemed
by local patrons Of the game.
i The time when it was possible for a
major league club to buy desirable
material from some other club has
long since passed. Base bail has
changed a lot in the past few years.
There was a time when some clubs had
to sell their best players in order to
exist. Nowadays even the teams which
finish low in the race manage to make
money, while a winning team means a
fortune to its owners. Hence 1t is thai
when q club has a good ball player 1t
will keep him In preference to accept
ing any sort of q cash offer for him.
1t is therefore absurd to suggest that
club go out and buy material. It
may speculate with untried players.
but 1t cannot buy players who have
established their. worth in fast COM
pany. 1t is easily to be seen that the
club which expects to better its cOndi-
lions must give up some playing. ma
terial for the players, with which 1t
hopes to strengthen Ats team.
McAleer has q lot Of material that he
could well spare. but the question nat
urally is, what can he get for 1t that
will help his team? The chances are
very little.
On the other hand he has some bril-
liant players and he will undoubtedly
have to part with one OF these in order
to better his team. '.,........
Let McAleer put Street on the market
and there would be a scramble among
the other seven managers to get crack
at him. Every club would have some
thing useful to offer in exchange for
take his pick. and undoubtedly strength
en- his team.
There can be no sentiment in base
ball. The manager Of a team is held
responsible for it's showing. and he
cannot consider a players popularity
when he starts out to make beneficial
changes in his lineup. 1t is so with
McAleer and Street. Mac wants to
build up winner.
Street Is undoubtedly one OF the most
popular players that ever wore a Wash
ington uniform. Mac Is not going to
have good ball players thrust on him
unless he comes across with something
that the other clubs want and can use
to making trades, not quantity.
The Nationals need an 0utfielder and
another high-class pitcher, and II
Street is to figure in a trade a catcher
to take his place must also be consid
