facing a situation which presages the
adjustment Of its travelling library
privileges for a time az least. So many
calls for books In the travelling H.
braries have been received during the
last six months that the supply has
been exhausted and many requests
cannot be filed. In former years when

OF the travelling library department
there was money enough remaining
from appropriations by the legislature
70 purchase the books requested. This
year. however. there Is only $500 TO
maintain the travelling library depart
ment until ext October.
The lack OF books is due 10 the in
creased demand for them from rural
schools. according 10 Miss Helen Da-
Wis. librarian. The eason OF the year
in which farmers read most also is at
nand. she asserts. and the combination
has exhausted practically the entire
supply.
Miss Davis now Is calling in every
available book. BY that can she
hopes 10 bring in enough books TO tide
over the winter months. The clubs OF
the state. which use the travelling IL
braries. practically have been supplied.
Miss Davis says. More than 81 900 is
at once TO put the travelling

discover that his wife will drop her
suit for divorce and $4,000 alimony
against him. Creviston went back TO
his home In company with Police Chief
Guy l.. Bunker. who turned him yer
10 his relatives and authorities there.
Just how Creyiston. who formerly vas
an oil magnate. spent SO much money
during his short stay In South Bend
proved a mystery TO his relatives. al
though they were confident the trip
had cost him approximately $4,000. He
had this sum when he left Marion. and
when he was found wandering about,
half starved and in%suficiently clad In
this city. only a few pennies were
found on him.

place Catholics on the same
footing nor grant to them t. same
privileges as to Protestants. my
self would consider it a bet,u. and
wiser policy to concede to them the
same privileges provided they would
pledge themselves both to maintain
it's Christian and unsectarian consti-
tuition and to accept the Christian
Bible.
l believe that such a policy would
accomplish far reaching and meal
culable good, bringing into closer re-
lation Catholics aud Protestants, dis
polling mutual misunderstanding
and prejudices, and promote the uni
versal brotherhood Of man so long
and earnestly desired by Christians
throughout the world.
At the same time, | must say in
passing, that as a Roman Catholic
theolOg'a an | cannot explain the con-
duct Of Archbishop Ireland in this
matter except by thinking that he
was playing a shrewd trick in order
to mislead public American opinion
and to expose as sectarian, the Y. M.
&. A. A great many Americans tax
ing the words and acts of Arch bishop
Ireland on their face value, may be
induced to believe that if the Y. M.
G. A. should grant to Catholics the
same privileges as to Protestants, the
former would become members of
this institution, when Archbishop
Ireland knows as we'll as I do, that
such is not the case Even admit
ing the hypothesis that the Y. M. c..
A. should grant not only the same
privileges but even greater ones and
should give the leadership of the or
ganization to Catholics, Catholics
could by no means become members
Of the institution.
Every Catholic who goes to hear
hereto preachers on religious topics
or joins with them in acts of worship
commits not slight Offense and one
easily forgiven, but he commits a
heinOus and mortal sin. Archbishop
Ireland knows as we'll as [ do that
can cOrrObOrate my assertion by the
testimony of hundreds of the sound
est and most reliable Roman Catholic
authorities; which testimony l am
willing and ready to furnish if you
desire it. 1t is really astonishing to
me how easily the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy succeeds in concealing the
