QUESTIONS ASKED
OF FATHER CONWAY

Among the questions answered by
Father Conway last evening were the
following:
Why did Catholics sell indulgences
10 build st Peters?
First what is an indulgence? An
indulgence is the remission Of the
temporal punishment due TO forgiven
sin. Just like a president or governor
in the United States may remit the
whole or part OF the punishment le-
gally due mans crime. so the Cath
Ollie church. as the divine teacher Of
Christ's pupil. pardOns not merely the
sin. but RENTS the punishment due
An indulgence therefore is not a per-
mission TO commit sin, as some have
enormously asserted; IL does not re-
fer 20 sin at all, past, present or fu-
ture; il can be received only by those
who are in Gods grace. that is, with
out grievOus sin.
Catholics never sold indulgences.
They made an Offering as an aims TO
help in the building OF the greatest
monument 20 Gods glory the world
has ever seen. just as they make offer

ARGENTINE Is
RICH COUNTRY
Wealth and Beauty i'm Abundance i'm
Southern Republic Says
Newman.

Argentine with it's boundless stores
of undeveloped wealth, it's vast areas
of fertile farm lands. its ideal eli
matte conditions, was pronounced to
be the most prosperous country in
South America in the second of New
man travelogues given at the OllYer
theater last night.
Buenos Aires, city beautiful, and
capital Of the republic, with its miles
of bOuIevards. its plazas, and its mag
nificent public buildings and resi-
dences. is the New York Of Argentine.
according to Mr.. Newman. Lavish eX-
penditure Of wealth characterizes all
activities of the people living in the
chief city. Municipal enterprise is
another one OF the characteristics OF
the inhabitants of the Argentine cities
and Just pride is taken in the improve
ments Of a public nature. So great is
the wealth OF the country and so re-
cent has been it's developments, that
fortunes have accumulated rapidly,
and there has been no conservation or
energy.
The chief resources Of the Argen-
tine lie in the broad prairies vast eX-
panses stretching for miles and miles
as FAR as the eve can reach, he Said.
Land there is not sold by the acre
but by the square league, one of these
containing six thousand acres. Blood
ed live stock, imported and the best
that can be brought TO the country.
are TO be found there, some animals
now selling as high as $4,000 head.
The people are a luxury, pleasure
loving sort They wager vast sums
on horse races. and at some of their
gambling places, sums Of money only
exceeded by the amounts that change
hands az Monte Carlo are lost and
won.
Mr.. Newman said that in this land
Of fabulous wealth. the people must
have the best OF everything, that the
women get their fashions direct from
Paris, that the men are invariably
we'll dressed. and that salaries are
high. A stenographer is paid $3.50 a
month for her services, the speaker
said.
In discussing American trade con-
ditiOns with Latin America, the lee
turer declared that there were many
opportunities for the United States TO
increase its exports TO that country.
and that facilities for opening larger
commerce relations with the Argen-
tine were never in better shape.

Dandruff Surely
Destroys the Hair

Girls-if you want plenty Of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for il will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good TO try TO
brush or wash il out. The only sure
way TO get rid OF dandruff is TO dis
solve il, then you destroy il entirely
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvOn; apply II at
night when retiring; use enough TO
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most If not all, of your
dandrup will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
" dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find. too, that all itching

times better. You can get liquid ar

Claim il Better.

Many non-Catholics are willing to
grant to ST. Peter q headship of hon
or. They know as we'll as we do that
ne was the first apostle called: that
he was the oldest. the leader. the
spokesman for the other apostles.
But Catholics claim something more
than this for the chief apostle. We
have the Scriptural authority for our

between God and man like the VIZ

between God and man like the vir-
gin?
our church teaches that there is
only one Mediator. Jesus Christ, as
anyone can see by consulting the
council, OF Trent. held in the sixteenth
century The Virgin is a mediator in
totshy different sense. We believe
tina, Christ is God and Man, and that
hc died on the cross for the world =
salvation. The Virgin and the saints
did not die for US; they merely in
tercede for us"
Why do Catholics have mass said
for them?
Because they believe in a purga-
tory, and that the souls there detained
are helped by the prayers of the faith
full OF the communion of saints, and
particularly by the sacrifice OF the
mass. The mass applies the death Of
Jesus 10 the souls of the living and
the dead. This will be explained more
fully in the lecture on The Here
after
The money paid for masses is for
the support Of the clergy. and does
not buy a soul out OF purgatory as
many non-Catholics believe"
Who started the Catholic church?
Our Savior. Jesus Christ"
Do Catholics allow PrOtestants TO
teach in their schools?"
NO. because the only reason we
have separate schools is to teach the
children the true religion of Christ"
Can a Catholic get a divorce?
IF validity married, no; because it
is forbidden by Christ and his
apostle, St Paul. as we will see in
the lecture on divorce Saturday
night"
How do you account for the cruel
ties Of the inquisition?
"Heresy in the middle ages was
nearly always allied with some anti
social body, akin TO our modern Rus
sian Nihilists or our revolutionary So
cialists. In a time when the world
gave expression TO it's mind in the
illogical form, and the interest Of the
church and state were according TO
existing conditions identical, anarchy
and revolution appeared under the
form of heresy, and therefore both
churchmen and statesmen felt called
upon 10 repress it. If we deduct the
number of anti-social heretics from
the total number who suffered under
the old laws Of the inquisitiOn, we
will find the total Of heretics con-
densed rather small. Men of the mid
die ages could not conceive of the
revelation Of God being set aside by
His creatures without grievous sin.
Magistrates at that time were consid-
cred responsible for sins committed
against the law of God. Men felt ii
their duty to punish not only crimes
against SOciety-the modern idea
but also sins against the faith, which
to them were crimes against the state.
We must judge an institution accord
ing TO the ideas and manners of the
age in which it fiourishes. 1t is not
generally known that the first heretics
were lynched by the people prior to
the inquisition. Catholics are not
bound 10 apologize for the cruelties
Of a past age. No statesm IN OF our
day would wish back the old-time
civil punishments that obtained in
England. such as boiling alive. burn
ing, diSembowelling and the like"
For a complete treatment OF the
subject, the lecturer referred TO Faith
er Conways translation OF the Able
Varandard's treatise on the inquisi-
ton, published by Longmans, Green
&, Co.

Then he began on the little writing
desk, the dresser and the bureau draw

face as he came to one drawer that
was locked. He pulled a sectional

open.
There lay the precious torpedo.
The man clutched at IL with look

II did not take me long to unpach

soon back again In the living room,
where Aunt Josephine Joined me In a
few minutes.
Just as Elaine came hurriedly down
the stairway and started toward me,
Del Mar entered from the porch. She
stopped. Del Mar watched her close

sure of II.
Her hesitation was only for mo.
ment, however. Walter" she said,

Aunt Josephine went out toward the
back of the house to see how the
servants we're getting on, while l fol,
lowed Elaine upstairs. Del Mar with
bow seated himself and opened his
magazine. No sooner had we gone,
however, than he laid 1t down and eau

room and closed the door. Walter"
she cried, I've found the torpedo"

She almost ran over to her bureau

the few minutes while she was down
stairs. The torpedo was gone. We
looked at each other, aghast.
Behind us, however, we did not see
the keen and watchful eyes of Del

Perhaps half mile down the road,
the farmer abandoned his hayrack

Mars men in hiding at the top. He
saw us, however, and Immediately
wigwagged with his handkerchief to
several others down at the bridge
where they were attaching a pair Of
wires to the planking.
Someone coming" muttered one
who was evidently a lookout.
The men stopped work Immediately
and hid in the brush. Our car passed
over the bridge and we saw nothing
wrong. But no sooner had we gone
than the men crept out and resumed
work which had progressed to the
point where they were ready to carry
the wires of an electric connection
through the grass. concealing them as
they went.
In the study OF his bungalow, all
the time, Del Mar was striding angrily
up and down, while his men waited in
silence.
Finally he paused and turned to one
of them. "See that the coast is clear
and kept clear" he ordered. Il want
to go down"
Inc man saluted and went out
through the panel. A moment later
Del Mar gave orders to the other man
who also saluted and left the house by
the front door, Just as our car pulled
up.
Del Mar, the moment the man was
gone. put on his hat and moved to-
ward the panel In the wall. He was
about to enter when he heard some
one coming down the hall to the study
and stepped back. closing the panel

low and now we're conducted 10 his
library. There Elaine told him the
whole story, much to his apparent sur

actor.

worked Its way half from the mass
pocket. The farmer seized t. The
man fell back, limp. and the farmer
with the torpedo In one hand, grasped
at the gun on the ground and straight
ened up.
He had no sooner risen than the
man was at him again. His uncon.
seriousness had been merely seigned.
The struggle was renewed.
At that point, the hedge down the
road parted and Del Mar stepped out.
A glance was enough to tell him what
was going on. He drew his gun and
ran swiftly toward the combatants.
As Del Mar approached, his man
succeeded in knocking the torpedo
from the farmers hand. There Il lay,
several feet away. There seemed to
be no chance for either man to get t.,
Quickly the farmer bent his wrist,
aiming the gun deliberately at the
precious torpedo. AS fast as he could
he pulled the trigger. Five of the six
shots penetrated the little model
So surprised was his antagonist that
the farmer was able 10 knock him out
with the butt of his gun. He broke
away and fed, whistling on a police
whistle for the dog just as Del Mar
ran up,
Del Mar stopped and picked up the
model. II had been shot into an UNI
recognizable mass of scrap. In fury,
Del Mar dashed 1t on the ground, ours
ing his men as he did so.
The strange disappearance OF the
torpedo model from Elaine's room
worried both OF us. Doubtless II Ken
nedy had been there he would have
known just what to. do. But we could
not decide.
Really" considered Elaine, 81
think we had better take Mr.. Del Mar
into our confidence.
"Still, we've had great many warn
ings." l objected.
Il know that" she persisted, but
they have all come from very unre-
liable sources"
Very WELL" I agreed finally, "then
let's drive over to his bungalow"
Elaine ordered her little runabout
and a few moments later we climbed
into 1t and Elaine shot the car away.
As we rode along, the country
seemed SO quiet that no one would
ever have suspected that foreign
agents lurked all about. But II was
just under such a cover that the ne
farious bridge and harbor mining work
ordered by Del Mars superiors was
going ahead quietly.
AS our car climbed hill on the
other side Of which, in the valley. was

fixedly toward Dodge Hall.
Suddenly his vigilant attention
seemed to be riveted on the house.
He drew field glass from his pocket
and leveled II. Sure enough, there
was man coming out OF a window,
pulling himself up to the roof by a
rope and going across the rooftree.
He lowered the. glasses quickly and
climbed off the fence with hitherto
unwonted energy.
Come, Searchlight," he called to the
dog, as together they moved off quick
ly in the direction he had been look
ing.
Del Mars men were coming through
the hedge that surrounded the Dodge
estate just as the farmer and his dog
stepped out in front OF them from be-
hind a thicket
Just minute" he called. II want
to speak to you"
He enforced his words with a vi
cious looking gun. 1t was two to one
and they closed with him. Before he
could shoot, they had knocked the gun
out of his hand. Then they tried to
break away and run.
But the farmer seized one OF them
and held him. Meanwhile the dog de-
veloped traits all his own. He ran in
and out between the legs OF the other
man until he threw him. There he
stood. over him. The man attempted
to rise. Again the dog threw him and
kept him down. He was a trained Bel
gian sheep hound. a splendid police
dog.
"Confound the BRUTE" growled the
man, reaching for his gun.
AS he drew 1t. the dog seized his
wrist and with a cry the man dropped
the gun. That, too. was part OF the
dogs training.
