CALLS FOR 5000 FREIGHT CARS.
Food Administrator Requisitions
Equipment for Moving Crops.

The United States Food Admins
tration has displayed further interest
in Louisiana as one of the nation
most valuable sources of supply. Lou
isiana has raised a number OF the
crops in great immediate demand, put
was hampered in their distribution by
the lack of transportation facilities.
John NJ. Parker, food administrator
for Louisiana, laid the situation pc
fore Mr.. Hoover and received a reply
that the latter would DO anythlng
within his power that Mr.. Parker
deemed should be done. The Loulsl-
ana administrator accordingly tele-
eraphed a requisition for three thou
sand freight cars as starter. he mas
also appointed committee OF freight
officials of the different railroads,
whom he will ask to work out an ef-
fective and impartial system OF utlilz-

One of the main Louisiana commod-
tiles that is being clamored for' re Is,

national capital itself was one OF tne u

CHANGES IN CANON LAW.
New Regulations Governing Catholics
to Go Into Effect April /.


to Go Into Effect April l.
Important changes in the Catholic
church canon law, effective April /,
1918, have recently been promulgated
by Pope Benedict XIV, present head
of the church. Under the new regu-
lations, the season during which every
Catholic is required to receive COM
munion is fixed from Palm Sunday,
week prior to Easter, to Low Sunday,
Immediately following Easter, con-
stituting a period of two weeks dura-
ton, whereas heretofore the time al
lowed for the performance of the
Easter duty has been from the fourth
Sunday of Lent to Trinity Sunday,
practically two months. Bishops are
given authority to extend the period
if in their opinion any valid reason
should exist for doing SO, it being
provided, however, that the time can
not be fixed before the fourth Sunday
of Lent and can not extend beyond
Trinity Sunday.
Marriages, which hitherto have been
absolutely forbidden during Lent, IN
the spring, and Advent, immediately
| preceding Christmas, may be solemn
| lied at any time in the year, provided
there be no unusual pomp and the
| liturgical prescriptions be observed,
and that there be sufficient reason
| therefor.
The feast days and holy days OF
| obligation are unchanged, including
all Sundays, Christmas, Circumcision,
Fniphanv. Ascension, Assumption,
Corpus Christi, Immaculate Concep-
| tion, st. Joseph, SITS. Peter and Paui,
and All Saints.
The fasting and abstinence laws are
made much less rigorous. The law OF
abstinence prescribes only one full
meal day, but does not prohlblt
taking something in the morning and
evening, provided local custom as TO
quantity and quality be observed
The most radical change IS the per-
mission given Catholics during Lent
TO eat fish and flesh at the same meal,
! the first time in the history OF the
church that this has ever been per-
mitted. On any day in the year when
| the eating of meat is countenanced,
! Catholics may partake OF both fesh
and fish at one meal.
The law of abstinence is to be OBJ
served on Ash Wednesday, on Fridays
and Saturdays of Lent, on the Ember
Days, and on the vigils of Penteeost,
! ASSUMPTION, All Saints and Christmas.
i The law of fast alone is to be OBJ
served on all the other days of Lent
from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sun
day.
i In this connection another radical
change toward more liberal regula-
tions is that fast and abstinence are
alike abolished on holy days of obli'
cation, whereas heretofore Catholic:
! have been required to abstain from
: meat on many of them and to fast or
t b few Of the major feasts.
+ In noting the PRONUNCIATION of th'
{ new regulations, the New Orlean
Item said: priests in New Orleans
refused to be quoted upon the reason
for the lessening Of the strlctness o
the church in these matters, but on
; pastor said that in view of modern in
!, dustrial conditions, it doubtless wa
Z thought wise to lessen the rigors o
: fast and abstinence to accommodate
J the rules of the church, in matter
: purely within it's discretion, to til
