PREPARING TO JUDGE.

More than sixty young men Of the
Iowa agricultural college at Ames
are in training for places on the
teams which will represent the in
stitution in the annual intercollegiate
live stock Judging contests at the
Kansas City Royal and the Chicago
international live stock shows.
They spent several days at the
state fair at Des Moines, judging
special rings or horses, cattle, sheep
and hogs selected for their study,
and they put in two solid days Of the
same sort of work at the Interstate
fair at Sioux City. At Sioux City
every one of the sixty men in the
list Of candidates was required to
place the individual animals in thirty
different classes. When they got back
to the college they were required to
set forth their reasons for these
placings in a written examination.
This test furnished basis for.
selecting the Kansas City team and
WIFI ldtSI tcSI, q UdSiS LUZ SCAcCt>
ing the Chicago team also.
These young men are the very pick
of the animal husbandry courses.
Fine, outstanding, aggressive, they
typify the modern agriculturist who
is making farming in all its phases
thoroughly scientific. Most of them
come from the farms Of Iowa and
adjoining states, but few come
from far off regions like South
America, India, South Africa and
Great Britain. A large number Of
the animal husbandry students are
city and town men, also. Though
they We're not reared on farms, they
are among the keenest students en-
rolled in the course.
All of the agricultural courses Of
the college are we'll filled this year.
The total attendance is more than
double what it was six years ago.

.f|kDS-AzTECS' IDOL
Stone Man Dug Up at Durango,
Colo, Shows Signs Of Art.
Renewed Activity In Explorations o.
New Mexico Ruins Leads to Dis.
eovery Of Mummy Of Ex.
tinct Race.

Durango, Colo.-A renewed activity
In the explorations Of the Aztec ruins
located in the vicinity of Aztec, N. NJ,
by the residents of Aztec and Durango
has resulted over the discovery Of
either a stone idol or mummy of the
extinct Aztec race by George CARING
house Of this city, who has brought to
light relic Of prehistoric ages and
aroused the curiosity of antiquarians
and psychologists of this section.
Tho discovery was made by Mr..
Clearinghouse in an arroyo 30 miles
southwest Of Aztec and had been
partly uncovered by the recent rains.
1t either had been buried 80 feet I'M
derground or else the ground had been
washed over 1t to that depth. The
finder insists on calling 1t stone man.
but is cautious Of displaying it. not
allowing anyone to take a picture Of
It or to make thorough investigation
of 1t.
In form 1t il similar to a prehistoric
man. being about four and half feet
tall, but abnormally wide through the
thickness the body is only about five
inches through and when found one
of the legs was broken off at the knee.
While being unearthed the finder broke
of the head and the other leg. but in
its entirety the image Is in a well-pre-
served condition.
The stone man or mummy gives
every indication Of being the means Of
learning something concerning an ex-
tinct race. 1t appears to have been an
idol sculptured from hard sandstone
which 10 found In abundance near the
ruins, and It seems to have been q
part Of a bas-relief in the early ages
The shoulders and arms form con-
centric are from the neck to the hands
with the face inclined to the left The
sculptural work displays fine art,
every little detail of man being clear
ly brought out. and may be possible
that the extinct race of Aztecs may
have been sculptors of no mean ex-
tent
The curiosity Of the people of this
section has been aroused to such an
extent that exploring parties are BE-
ing formed to probe the ruins thor
oughly In anticipation Of more results.
This IL the first discovery Of its kind
ever made In the ruins. and so rare 10
the specimen brought to light that the
finder. Mr.. Clearinghouse. is correspond
ing with the Smithsonian institution in
Washington. with the view Of it being
placed in that mecca Of science and
history. In the past scientists have ex-
plored the ruins but have never been
rewarded with anything but pottery
and small understanding to explain
the mode Of living Of the extinct race.
The one peculiar phase Of the un-
known history is that hundreds Of
years ago the Aztec race suddenly
disappeared and no scientist has ever
been able to decipher where they went
or much Of their history. A thorough
exploration Of the ruins at this time
may result in discovering a great deal
Of historic Information.

uHtu we dIc Acoi iuoaA4ty oA0 PoAoOuo
with SOULS" Doctor Willett began, az
lie launched with fervor into his TRADE
against the dangerous speeder.
Such as accident as the one In
which the blind man met his fate is a
horrible evidence of the pass to which
things have come in the big city's rage
for speed. 1t raises the question OF
whether the pedestrian on our streets
has any rights whatever. Must he be
continually on his guard. watching for
reckless speed fiends who show not a
whit of consideration for the lives Of
those on foot? Is the pedestrian
obliged legally to be alert constantly
and prepared to leap from the path Of
speeder? The account Of how the
blind man met his death would almost
seem to indicate as much.
Think of the irony Of the conclu-
sion! Before the driver had time to
realize thatthe man was blind his ma
chine had struck him. The victim was
lacking one Of his God-given senses
and did not perceive his danger. A
horrible death was the result.
"Of all speed fiends Of the present
day, some motorcyclists are by far the
greatest menace to the pedestrian. The
machine Is small, much lighter than
an automobile and capable of darting
into and through crowd with almost
the wariness of rabbit. What chance
has the man on foot with a reckless.
daredevil driver likely to cross his
path at any moment? Chicago. am
convinced. is today in great need Of
ordinances which will serve more ef-
fectively to protect its pedestrians. A
motorcycle speed law is needed which
will muzzle the mania Of the careless
driver"

an amusement is, in itself, innocent
of a high character and, therefore
legitimate, it is no barrier to the re
ception of Holy Communion the fol.
lowing morning.
I. What is the sin against the Holy
Ghost? 2. Is 1t right for people to
90 around the Stations Of the Cross
while Mass is being celebrated?
l. The sin against the Holy Ghost,
spoken of in the Gospels, was "the sin
of the Pharisees in assigning the devil
as the author of Jesus miracles. -
They attributed the miracles of Christ,
which were wrought by the power OF
the Holy Ghost, to Beelzebub, the
prince of devils. This sin is of pecu.
liar malice, as it is directed against
the light of the Holy Ghost; and those
guilty of it wilfully oppose His en-.
Tightening grace and are seldom or
never converted from their evil ways,
because they never truly repent; and
without repentance pardon is fmpos.
sible 2. The making of the Way OF
the Cross during Mass is incompatible
with the attention necessary to fulfill
the precept of hearing Mass. It is also
a source of distraction to others.
Is it lawful for a practical Catholic
to join the Modern Woodmen?
This society is not mentioned among
those specifically condemned by the
Church, and which Catholics are for.
hidden to join, namely, the Freemas'
ons, Knights of Pythias, Sons of Tenn
perance. and Odd Fellows. Strictly
speaking, therefore, Catholics are not
prohibited from joining this society
But it is the wish of the Church that
her children refrain from all associa
tons in which there is the remotest
menace to their Faith. Such societies
gradually tend to weaken the allie
glance of Catholics to the Church and
Her teaching.
