indiscretion may ruin their whole
future.
Their mothers have never explained
to them the terrible risks they run of
losing that which once lost no wealth
or position can ever restore.
They have never told them that no
fortune. however great could com
pensate for the loss Of their pearl
of great price.
III girls when they begin TO go out
from the home were properly armed
and safeguarded with "A scientific
knowledge OF themselves If they were
informed of the marvellous precious
ness of the jewel OF virtue, which holds
sacred power entrusted to them by
their creator-the wonder of mother
hood, dishonor would be an almost
unheard OF thing.
If girls were reared with the idea
of life itself is cheap in comparison
with their virtue not one normal girl
in a million would part with that pre-
cious gift for any price.
In the past the girl was brought up
i'm the belief that there were certain
questions. certain things in her life,
about which she was not supposed to
know anything.
No matter how much she might be
troubled or perpleXed by those things,
by the vague warnings of her nature,
by emotions which she could not UNI
derstand. yet even her mother was not
sufficiently close to her to talk about
those matters or give any instruction
or information whatever regarding
them. Social conventions, traditions
centuries old, commanded silence up
on the most important facts of life.
What would you say TO the captain
of a ship who was training his son for
a seafaring life, teaching him all about
the profession, but leaving out of his
charts all reference TO the rocks,
shoals and treacherous currents which
endanger the lives of all those who
follow the sea?
What would you think or him if he
would say, ooh there will be time
enough for the boy to learn these
dangerous rocks and shoals and cur
rents when he comes to them
Let him learn these things for him
self, pick them up as he goes along?"
Would you not think he was insane
Are the mothers who send their
daughters out on the dangerous sea of
life without sex guide or compass or
any knowledge of it's dangers less
foolish or capable?
1t is terrible thing TO send girls out
into the world, and especially into the
business world, where they come into
constant close contact with men. with
out posting them in regard to the
temptations and dangers they will en-
counter.
If any human being in this world is
TO be ptied it is an ignorant. unso-
phisticated girl exposed to its perils.

POPE Plus X

EdTln y inoSt poWeTlul TultT is uedu.
And his rule was over the spirit OF
men. Sheerly by divine right he held
sway over more than 200. 600, 900 of
the civilized inhabitants Of the globe.
His authority was exercised unre-
stricted by any constitution, and with
no parliamentary meditation. He.
combined in himself legislative, exc
cutive, and judicial functions, and
from his decision there was no appeal.
In the minds OF all who accepted his
sovereignty there is in all the universe
i'm all eternity, no place where his
writ runneth not" His vast power
was all the greater because IL rested
not on jails and guns but on the
voluntary submission of each of his
subjects His armies OF black clad
men and women were all the better
disciplined since they were volunteers.
Yet the man who welded all this
power was a democrat in theory and
in practice and his elevation from
poor peasant priest to "Pontifex Maxi
mus proved that a man might a
cheve all honors, and titles, and
power. and still remain democrat.
Pope Plus ". bishop of Rome. the
vicar of Christ on earth" never ceased
to be "Beppo" to his sisters, the
simple, homely farmer women who
dreaded their biweekly visits to the
vatican because the liveried servants
embarrassed them too much Nor
did his greatness ALLEVIATE him from
his other relatives, the peasants, the
washwomen, the village mail carrier,
the street vender Of penny cakes. No
artificial equalization Of position by
the bestowal of titles, honors, and
money upon the poor relations, such
devices as kings are wont TO use TO
make lowly favorites fit companions
for themselves, was resorted to. They
were all equal before God. That was
enough for the simple old man who
gave away most Of bis T.yenue of
$1,50O,000 a year and lived "a 50
day i'm his vast palace.
Where he only was concerned he
laughed away formalities, ceremonies,
and traditional usages. He was easily
accessible to visitors regardless of
creed or rank But the instant the
honor of the church was touched he
became a martinez, demanding the
observance of the most punctilious
Difference. even at the expense of the
worlds greatest.
Pleasant, good natured, and tolerant
though he was i'm all his personal deal
ings he was transformed into the en-
bodiment of the most militant ortho-
doXy, stern, infleXible. relentless, when
the matter OF heresy within the church
arose.
What he accomplished il is hard To
state. His fight on modernism is far
from concluded. His policy in dealing
with France Spain, and Portugal
leaves his successor to face a state OF
war where the astute statesman Leo
had left him in peace.
Writers of church history may dis
pute over whether he was great
pope.
But Giuseppe Sarto. who bought
return ticket when he went from
Venice TO the last conclave, was not
a men to care much for the verdict
on such questions The verdict which
he necessarily urged his millions of
followers to strive for. the verdict
which he priced above all glory or
worldly success, the verdict which is
his without reservation, is:
He was a good man.--Chicago Tri-
bune.

Close Call For Engineer When
Bridge Collapses..

Presence Of mind and burst of speed
prevented an engine and road making
machine of Charles Harp, near Myers
vile, from crashing through fifty foot
bridge spanning Middle creek, near FL
lerton, last week The road machine
had reached the road on the other side of
the bridge when the structure creaked
and fell, crashing into the creek.
Harp was driving the engine. The APP
paratus was in about the center of the
bridge when the driver heard the timbers
crack. He felt slight swaving and on
the spur Of the moment opened the throt-
tie wide and the engine shot to the other
end of the structure. Had it not been
for the opening of the throttle and in
creaslng the speed the engine and the
road making machine and the driver
would have gone crashing into the stream
with the bridge.
The County Commissioners were noti-
fed that the bridge had fallen on Mon
day. President Hotter said that it was
narrow escape. The bridge will be re-
placed.

Devereux Players Give Delightful
Productions.

With beautiful stage settings, first class
acting and unusually fine lighting effects,
'As You Like IT. and Twelfth Night,
two Shakesperean plays were given
Monday afternoon and night on the east
lawn of the campus Of Hood College be-
fore large audience of college students,
but a poor representation of the people
OF Frederick.
The performances were given by Cliff
ford Devereux and his COMPANY o' twen-
ty-oue players. The acting OF Clifford
Devereux as Orlando. and Grace Fisher
as Rosalind, was particularly good. Many
in the audience pronounced the produc-
tons Of the players superior TO those
given by the Ben Greet Players.

had an opportunity to give the plays on
the lawn OF the campus. In other years
