CREMATION.

Recent press dispatches inform
us that the late Jack London, the
famous writer, left a disposition
in his will that his body was to be
cremated and his ashes scattered
about his Western ranch.
This fact has brought up again
the question Of cremation with re-
gard to the Catholic Church.
This practice, directly opposed to
the teaching of the Catholic
Church, is UNI Christian and pagan,
in it's origin. The custom has be-
come firmly established i'll all civ.
ilized countries and nearly every.
large city has at least one crema-
tory: Seattle has five, while other
cities have a larger number. Gre
nation i'll itself seems repugnant
to human nature inasmuch as it is
repulsive to our higher feelings to
cast into the incinerator, as so
much waste, the body which we
prize SO highly intlife.
Howsoever people may differ
with regard to the ethical aspect
of the subject, the law of the
Church is perfectly clear. From
the beginning the Catholic Church
has taken the firm stand that the
body of the Christian must be
placed intact in the earth or in a
tomb. By many DEGREES she has
forbidden cremation. According
to her regulations it is unlawful
for Catholic to order the crema-
ton of his own remains or Of those
of another. It is likewise unlaw-
full to join society which resorts
III any way to tho practice of cree:
nation. A Catholic who has di-I
rected that his remains be cremat-
ed cannot receive the last Sacra-
ments unless he be willing to re-
woke his order. ia person whose
body has been cremated at his own.
request cannot be buried with the
rites of the Church. The Crema-
ton Society of America at it's
meeting last August in Buffalo
drew up aresoIution calling on the
Congregation of3the Index to re-
peal it's DEGREES. The resolution,
needless to say, was Intellectual.
r The reasons for the Church s
prohibition are many. While
there is nothing in cremation OPP
posed to the dogma Of the Church,
it is in direct violation of her laws
of discipline. In case of great ne
cessity, as in time Of plague or pes
thence, bodies have been burned
in order to safeguard the living.
This has been permitted. Ere
quently in early times the pagans
cast the bodies of Christians
into lthe flames i'll order to
discredit belief in the res
direction. To the Christian the
body was always, in a sense, the
temple of the Holy Ghost. The.
body had been consecrated by the
reception of the sacraments.
Through the waters of baptism it
became a thing sacred. The re-
ception Of Holy Communion had
tended to make that body still
more sacred in the eyes Of the
Church, and physical contact with
the sacred oils sealed its religious
nature.
Arguments alleged in favor Of
cremation have been disposed OF
by science. 1t was maintained by
those who favored cremation that
interment in the earth tended to
promote contamination of air or
water. But science has shown that
when properly disposed Of in the
earth the body is practically alb
sorbed by the earth itself, and
any products of decomposition
thatmay arise are quickly neutral
lied.

,Soloviev, the philosopher, a
Christian Russian, writes that !:
Religion is never shaken down
by war, but logicians are shaken
in their logic, agnosticism is
shaken, materialism is shaken,
atheism is shaken, positivism is
shaken, and the spiritual powers
are allowed to take possession of
mans being"

Thomas G. Watson, the motor

law-state of Georgia would scarce
~ condemn Watson. Such things
evidently are relished ill Georgia.

OVERSIGHT WINS HER S1,979
New York Woman Profits by Failure
to Read Liability Warning
on Envelope.

New York. - Because Mrs. Jack
Trepel did not read the warning on
an envelope for valuables supplied to
her by the Deanville Bathing com
pany, Supreme Court Justice Erlanger
has granted a motion awarding her
S1,979 instead of the $25 which the
bathing concern stated on their en-
velope was the limit of their liability
for lost property.
When Mrs. Yrepel went for a swim
one day she slipped her rings into the
envelope, sealed 1t, and left it with
the company for safekeeping, after
signing her name, Just above the re-
stricted liability clause.
She did not get back her jewelry,
and sued for its value. Justice Err
LANCER said there. was no proof Mrs.
Trepel had seen the warning, and SO
agreed to the prOprietor's limit on
responsibility.

IS TIRED OF FLAG DAYS
Protests Are Sounded in London
Against Constant "Hold-ups"
of Public.

London.-COmplaints are being heard
on all sides against the unwarranted
abuse Of the Flag-day idea. The plan
was originated to aid the Belgians and
was repeated on behalf of the victims
of the war in all the countries fight
ing on the allies side. France, Rus
STA, Italy and Serbia have all had their
Flag days, when hundreds of women
were posted along the main thorough
fares of London, pinning the small pa
per emblems on every passerby and re-
questing i'm exchange an Offering in
money on behalf of the war sufferers.
This was bad enough, but soon every
other war relief fund i'm existence had
a Flag day and organizations which
had never been heard of before have
unexpectedly come forth in the same
way to 'hold up" every passerby in the
streets.
Among the complaints which have
been voiced recently one of the strong
est comes from writer in the Daily
Mail, who says:
"But in the new calendar that has
been created out of the success of Rose
day there lies the danger of Rose day
itself fading and dying amid the bewil-
dering crop of weeds which has sprung
up to signalize other days. When Flag
day, Badge day, Lamp day, Sock day,

days come whirling along, nearly every

The latest craze of the summer
woman of fashion is the nose ring.
The picture was taken on Fifth ave-
nue., New York, and not in the wilds
of Africa. The nose ring is dainty
jeweled circle that clasps itself into
the nose of any young lady who
wishes to be considered chic, recherche
and all that. 1t fits in just like an
earring and is worn with the same
abandon, except that the jewels, be
they diamonds, sapphlres or some
other precious stone will have much
better opportunity to bask and glisten
in the sunlight. The nose ring is well
known for its association with the
dress of the savages. There are tribes
I'm Africa who still ornament their
noses with nose rings, but they are
not the dainty little rings that milady
is wearing this summer.
