LYcEuM.

With the great American desert as
its background and plot involving
big business" and the operations oil
"malefactors of great wealth. with
which is entwined q charming love
story, The Winning OF Barbara
WORTH" dramatized from Harold Bell
wright's novel Of the same name. by
Lynch Roberts and Mark +. Swan, Is
one OF the most pleasing productions
seen recently In the Lyceum theater.
The book lends itself well to
dramatization and the stage version
follows the original with unusual
fidelity.
The story deals with the fortunes
OF Barbara Worth. child OF the desert,
in which she Is found. a mere babe.
by her foster-father, Jefferson Worth,
after her real parents death from
thirst. Worth Is engineering a great
reclamation scheme, and as Barbara
grows to womanhood his years are
spent In perfecting plans to make
fertile fields OF the waste places.
He falls foul of James Greenfield,
eastern capitalist. also interested IN
irrigation Greenfield builds dam
OF unsafe construction and when
Worth refuses TO join in his projects
attempts to ruin him. He discharges
Abe Lee, foster-brother OF Barbara,
and puts his own adopted son, VIII
lard Holmes, in Lees place.
Holmes falls In love with Barbara.
and in the end dese.Js Greenfield 70
cast his lot with Jefferson Worth. As
climax, It Is discovered that Bar
bara Is q daughter OF the only broth
! er OF Greenfield, and the warning fac
tons are united with the usual happy
ending.
Kathryn Stems Is q charming Bar
bara, and brings TO the somewhat
difficult part "a high degree OF dra.
matte ability, and Cash Thompson as
Willard Holmes. Is no less praise
worthy. Miss Stems work In the pro-
logue, In which she appears as the
dying mother OF Barbara. is, perhaps,
the best bit OF acting In the entire
play.
Edwin Weaver plays the criminal
capitalist along conventional lines
sand does IL well, while Thomas
Colmesnil makes a satisfying Jeffer'
son Worth.

THE SCOPE OF CHARITY.

The Irish Standard has been favored
with copy of "The Scope of Charity"
by the Rev. Father James Donahoe.
In this his most recent work, now in
its second edition, Father Donahoe dis
cusses in clear, concise, comprehen-
sive, candid and interesting manner
certain ever present social problems
from the viewpoint gained by years of
personal observation and practical ex-
perience. The chapter on the Social
Status of the Deaf is "replete with
pertinent and interesting facts regard
ing class of citizens who are under
valued and usually treated unjustly."
In this same chapter the intellectual,
social and moral status of the deaf is
presented in way that will arouse
your interest in those who are de-
prived of ordinary advantages through
no fault of theirs. Father Donahoe
shows rare and accurate discrimina.
tion when he states in the chapter on
the Social Status Of the Deaf that the
article has its place in his work on
charity mot because the deaf are de-
pendent, but because many people re-
gard them as q dependent class"
Among the many subjects touched
upon in this chapter briefly but we'll

ST. ANDREWS NEW PARISH
HOUSE.

The new parish house of st. An
drew's Catholic Church at 114O Argyle
street was formally opened on the
evening of November 18th. Members
of the 200 families comprising the
parish so ably and successfully pre-
sided over by Father T. A. Printon
assembled at the "house warming"
The parish house was erected in 1908
by the Pioneer Press Company and
awarded as prize in a popularity
contest to Mrs. Roy j. Holmes. When
this house was bought by the parish
of st. Andrews, the adjoining house
and lot also was acquired. This site
will be occupied by a new church
which will probably cost $4,000. 1t
is expected the construction work will
begin next spring. The cost of the
property bounded by Chatsworth, Van
Slyke and Argyle streets was $10,5O0.
In the new church building Father
Printon expects to have club rooms in
the basement and also an auditorium
equipped with stage where dramatic
entertainments will be given. Plans
for the bazaar to be held at the old
church hall, Churchill and Hatch
streets, November 80 to December 5,
were discussed at the house warming.

this undertaking he is especially we'll
qualified, as he was pupil of DR..
Wagner, celebrated teacher and
musician whose worth was recognized
by Plus X when he was appointed as
member of the Vatican commission
known under the title of the Greg
orian Choral Restoration" Father
Kern has several interesting plans in
view, among them being a course of
lectures explanatory of the Motu
Proprio on church music. Not only
the parish of St. Mary's, but also the
entire city will in the course of time,
when patient instruction has produced
choir similar to that of the Paulist
Fathers in Chicago, have good reason
to rejoice in this provision so wisely
made by the Most Reverend Arch
bishop for the fullest development of
choral music that will be adequate to

''The Scope of Charity" is addressed
to charity workers, although it has a
message for all Christians, and is valu-
able to clergy, as we'll as the laity.
The book is a miniature encyclopedia
of information to charity and social
service workers and others interested
in these subjects. No phase of any
question is left untouched nor any
problem omitted from it's scope. The
value of the book is due to the clear
presentation of the ideas relating to
social service and dispelling of the

HERON HABIT INCREASING.
Frank Mcdonald, Superintendent of
Workhouse, Makes Study Of Vic
tims-cheapness Of Drug
Explains Growth.

In his official capacity Mr.. McDon-
aid has under his care OH an average
about thirty drug addicts. Every one
of these is pronounced cured before
he is allowed to leave the Minneapolis
workhouse.
Only Few Saved Belief.
1--WE save a few of the men sent to
u.s." said Mr. Mcdonald. mo one can
even estimate the percentage, but it
must be very small 1t is easy to
cure man of the drug habit, but it
is impossible to make him immune
When discharged it is case of the
same man going back into the same
conditions which caused his downfall
before. You can see that it would be
miracle if the majority of them re-
manned free from the habit. We put
the man in such shape that he has no
physical craving for the drug, but we
cannot make over his mind"
Heroin a Derivative of Morphine.
Heroin, it may be explained here
is a derivative of morphine. 1t is
crystalline in form, and is usually
sold in small pills. The heroin addict
crushes these pills and shifts the tiny
crystals up his nostrils or dissolves
them in water and injects them di
rectly into his blood. Less often the
pill is swallowed.
There are more heroin addicts thar
there were morphine or cocaine ad
diets" said Mr.. Mcdonald, because
heroin is cheaper and easier to get
Two half-grain pills of heroin can bt
secured for nickel and four pill:
is the usual dose, so that shot O
heroin is as cheap as glass of poo
whisky. That's one reason its US,
is spreading.
"The user of the dope often has tt
pay much more than the market rat,
because the heroin habit is like NOR
phine. When the desire sweeps owe
man he suffers agonies until he cal
get the drug into his system and HI
is willing to pay any price to get i
at once. Take the case of the younf
fellow arrested few days ago JUS
after he had traded a good overcoa,
for seven pills, less than zoe wortf

Catholic League Dedicates
New Club Rooms

Informal dedication of the new
club rooms of the Minneapolis
League of Catholic Women occurred
on Friday evening, when the new
club rooms at 720 Marquette avenue,
were opened to the public with an
informal reception to the members of
the league and their friends. An ex-
cellent program was provided for the
occasion and the anticipations of the
members of the league were in no
wise disappointing. AS evidence of
what the ladies have been doing in
the line of social work the new club
rooms, as well as the st. Mary's Hall
property, gives ample opportunity to
judge of the sincerity and self-sacrifice
of the members of the League of Cath
olic Women. All this has been done
in short space of time. Glasses and
rest rooms have been added, also IL
brary, Office and an excellent audi
torium. An extensive library is main
tained, as we'll as private library
and reading rooms at the club. The
members of the League of Catholic
Women have in mind the comfort and
education of the young women who
affiliate themselves with the organi-
zation and take advantage of the op-
portunities offered by the league. Re-
freshments were served in the dining
room, in charge of a number of young
ladies who were dressed in colors to
harmonize with the color scheme car
ried out throughout the rooms. A
group of songs by Mrs. Eugene Skaa-
den, program by the League Choral
club, under the direction of Eugene
Skaaden, and music by string or
chestra made up the enjoyable musi-
cal features of the evening.

The ninth district Federal Reserve
Bank opened in Minneapolis Monday

Reserve Banks throughout the coun-
try marked a new epoch of the financial
history of United States. The new
Reserve Bank in Minneapolis has tenn
porary quarters in the Lumber En-
change building and will later occupy
permanent quarters in the New York
Life building. An explanation Of the
functions, purposes and duties of the
new Federal Reserve Bank is outlined
below, to illustrate the idea which the
Administration had in mind in form
ulating the Federal Reserve Banks in
different sections of the country.
First of all, there are to be twelve
Reserve Banks located in various sec
tions of the country" he said. "These
banks are to be banks for all of the
banks in their districts. In other
words, they are to be strictly bankers
banks.
"Individuals will not be permitted to
make deposits in the Federal Banks
individuals will not he permitted to
borrow money under normal condi-
tions.
Every National Bank must sub
scribe to the stock of the Federal Re-
serve Bank in it's district, thereby be-
coming member bank The trust
companies and State Banks may be-
come member banks by complying
with the provisions of the new law.
Each member bank must subscribe
for stock in the Reserve Bank to the
extent Of per cent of it's capital and
surplus.
''The capital of the Reserve Banks
must be furnished entirely by tho
member banks.
These banks for banks may accept
deposits from member banks, may dis
count fresh two-name commercial pa
per for them, provided this paper orig
mates in financing bona fide CONNER
cial purchases or sales, but not TIL,

'They may become the agency TO
the issuance of a new kind of ban
note to be known as Federal Reserv
Notes.
1.-The Federal Reserve Banks canno
do any of these things for an individ
ual or for a private business firm.
'The new law will permit the estal
lishment of branch banks in foreig
countries. After this. when the branc
banks are established, American busI
ness men can do business through thei
own banks and not through the bank
of foreign countries.
What will be the reserve in the Min
