10 the fact that II constitutes one of
the most telling indictments OF the

been drawn. 1t ran as a serial In
the Saturday Evening Post for six
weeks. and proved exceedingly inter-

that popular periodical
That the Aim Is an effective work

Heat Fails to Stop Phi Delts
But MeltS Clothes of Dancers

by the weather visiting fraternity men
and girls, of whom all but about fifty
live in Richmond, had a hilariously
good hop.
On the crowded dance floor girls
stepped on their own feet to prevent
fellows stepping on them, and couples
bumped into each other at every turn,
so packed were the dancers.
But no one cared, for everybody was
having such a good time
Between heats the couples dashed
to the street and promenaded to seek
relief. Girls took the opportunity to
put up hair which had strayed from
its pins and fellows moped their faces
with dripping handkcrchiefs.
But no one cared for everybody was
having such a good time
Main street confectionery plants ran
overtime
The same troop of dancers will try
again Friday night at the closing ball
of the convention. This will be a for
NAL affair, by far the most elaborate
event of the meeting. Favors Of sill
yer pins bearing the fraternity shield
will be given the ladies.

PLEA FOR LEARNING
IN ROELL'S ADDRESS

That the Catholic church believes in
educating the heart as well as the
mind and realizes that no morality will
stand temptation without being based
on religious foundation was the gist OF
the address of Father Roell before the
graduating class of 1914 at st.
Andrews parochial school.
Whenever Catholic church be-
comes strong enough to build a church
it feels that il is equally necessary TO
erect a school house within the shad-
ows of the house of worship. How
different this Is from the system used
in the public schools. where a nation
that calls itself Christian will not even
permit the pupils to mention the name
of Christ" said Father ROell
THE Christian church differed from
the Mohamme1an in that the latter
took the attitude that whatever was
contained in the Koran the Moham-
medan Bible. was superfluous. and
whatever was not contained In the
Koran was dangerous TO morals. SO
they destroyed all literature that came
into their possession. The Christians
however guarded ancient manuscripts
for the benefit of the world
