ALTAR WINE In IOWA
CLERGY OF IOWA WILL HAVE
DIFFICULTY IN PURCHASING
WINE FOR sAcRAMENTAL PUR-
POSES.

The Catholic clergy of Iowa will
hereafter find it more or less difficult
to buy altar wine, the Western World
observes. When the bill of Senator
Whitmore of Ottumwa was originally
introduced, no provision was made for
the purchase of wine for sacramental
purposes. His attention was called to
this serious omission, and he readily
made the required changes, but the
amended bill, making druggists the
only permit holders, further effort
was made to SO modify the bill as to
make each clergyman permit holder
on payment of small license fee, as
is the practice in some states. The
bill embodying this very desirable
modification of the law was lost in the
hurry of the last days.
Altar wine must now he purcho sed
under the terms of Sec. 23305 dealing
with Permits" as follows: Persons
holding permits may sell and dispense
Intoxicating liquors, not including
malt liquors, for pharmaceutical and
medical purposes and to permit hold
ers for use and resale by them only
for the purposes authorized in this
chapter; they may also sell and dis
pense alcohol for specified chemical
and mechanical purposes and wine for
sacramental uses"
The attorney general, on being con-
suited, interpreted the law to mean
that clergymen may buy their altar
wine from permit holders in their
neighborhood, but that they must
themselves remove it, as delivery by
an expressman, according to a recent
law, constitutes sale in Iowa and is
illegal.

THOSE OF THE FAITH MADE
CREDITABLE SHOWING.

The class at West Point was gradu-

usual this year, due to the war with
Germany. Catholics were well repre-
sented. There were about thirty in
the 139 students. Considering the en-
trance requirements and the difficult
course at West Point, it is creditable
to the Church that SO many of her
sons should have succeeded in gradu-

FABLES ABOUT "GREAT CITIES"-

Great "cities" Non-Existent.

The first Spaniards who arrived in
MeNlco allowed their imaginations full
rein, and they gabbled unrestrainedly
about cities equalling Seville or Sal.
amanca in size, solidity and architec-
tural merit The ancient city of Mex
leo was declared to be the largest and
most densely populated of all, yet the
suggestion by the war chief Ahuitzotl
(Ahwee-tzohtD about A. d. 1900, that
four hundred families be removed
from this town to repopulate district
whose inhabitants he had exterminat-
ed, was overruled by the other war
chiefs on the ground that it would be
too great a reduction in the popuia-
uon, and the number to be removed
was reduced to two hundred families.
Furthermore, we are told that the
houses of the city We're of but one
story and built separately, each in the
midst of its individual garden In ad-
ultlon there were very large spaces
given over to market places and tenn
PIE enclosures, not to mention the
space devoted to streets and canals.
The area of the original city is fairly
well known, with the consequence that
the existence of any considerable pop-
ulation within its limits was manifest
ly impossible.

this part of the universe. As you walk
slowly through the park you pass d few
stray Indian squaws, the remnant OF
once powerful tribe, the descendants
perhaps, of the Nuters, or the Iroquois,
for this tribe in 1850 over-ran the
Nuters, destroying that nation. Later
the Senecas made permanent villages
along the Niagara, after defeating the
Iroquois. These derelict5 of a once
powerful nation offer ycu Indian trim
ketS AS you stand On the brink of
the falls Of mighty Niagara, your eye
wonders from Goat Island across to
the Canadian falls-you look down on
the Maid of the Mist" 16i feet below,
a speck on an almost calm water, and
your thought must dwell on the won
ders that God has created.
Across that mighty chasm, cut in
solid rock by the croding power of
water, you contemplate the past and
future You wonder OF what use are
the material things of life when COM
pared with eternity. Standing at its
present site, in all the grandeur CT a
brilliant sunlight, you realize that 1t
has taken the waters of Niagara fifty
thousand years to cut their way
through massive rock, from a point
near where Lewiston now stands to
the present spot of the falls few
more thousands of years Goat Island
will cease to be, for the great force of
water at work will have swept that
away also, and to record the destruc-
tive power as a geologist would, in a
few more thousands of years mighty
Niagara Falls will be no more. At
present it is a sight marvellous to be-
hold and well worth travelling thou
sands of miles to see The water
drops 164 feet and the falls is mile
wide.
The First White Men.
If you are at all interested in his
tory, when visiting this beautiful place,
you may ask the name of the first
white men to behold the Falls. 1t has
often been claimed that this great cat
aract was discovered by an adventurer
and Indian interpreter, Etiemme
Brusle. Few white men have had the
adventurous career that befell this
man. He had been in the Huron Coun-
try, with Champlain, but left him
about 1915. Brusle was murdered by
the Hurons, in 1882. There is no his
torical record of his discovering or
even knowing of the falls.
| In 1926 Joseph de la Roche Dallion,
a Franciscan, of the Recollect Order;
had been a missionary among the
Hurons. He reached the Niagara re-
| gion and was, as far as we know, the
first white man to penetrate this dis
| trict Father Dallion had met Brusle
and from him heard of the Niagara
region. With the thought of CONVEX
sions in his soul Father Dallion set out
| for the Nuter nation of Indians. He
| reached this region by the way Of
what is now Canada. There is no rec
ord of him as the discoverer of the
falls.
About 1910, Jesuit, Jean de Bre-
beuf, visited the Nuters, and early one
evening while alone near the edge of
the woods, he was praying for the sue
cess of his work. Raising his eyes to
heaven he beheld a large cross. 1t
seemed to come nearer to him as he
lknelt in wonderment Later he told
his companion, Father Chaumont, Il

Who the AZtecs Were.

The aboriginal residents of the an
Clent City of Mexico belonged to a
great American Indian family which
native tradition said came from the
northern deserts in seven groups or
waves of migration. One of these
groups was known as the Aztec and it
was a fragment of this group that
ended its wanderings with the found
ing OF a settlement on nrarshy island
IN the salt lagoon of the Valley of
Mexico in 1925. This settlement be-
came known as Tenochtitlan (Tay-
nohtcl-teet-lahn) and upon it's site is
buUI the present City of Mexico.
That a small band of wandering In
dians could travel about the Valley as
the Aztecs did for upwards of a hun
dred years before settling definitely
on one spot, disposes of any dense
populations, or well organized gov
ernments," and, if this were not suf1i-
cient, the subsequent behavior of this
particular band and their neighbors
would be quite conclusive.
After the wanderers, known to them
selves as the MeXica, had established
themselves on their marShy island,
they subsisted by thieving forays
amongst their neighbors OH the main
land, and some of them in time saw
fit to ally themselves with the island
marauders. And this was the condi-
tion prevailing when the discovering
fleet brought the white men to the ls-
lands of the Western Sea. 1t is of in
terest to observe that quarter of a
century elapsed between the landing
of Columbus on Waiting Island and
the arrival of the fleet of Grijalva
(Gree-hahl-vah off the Mexican coast
and the receipt of the news by Monte
yuma that the dread prophecy of the
return of the bearded god was about
to be fulfilled.
Ages before the coming of the
Spaniard, Indian traditions declare
that a very wise man had appeared
among their ancestors and taught
them the ways of civilized beings, but
diSsensions arose among them and
this wise man left them to return to
his home in the East. AS he left he
warned them that at some time in the
