Contracts In Athens were bound In
two ways. One method was the In
formal handshake and the other was
the formal contract where something
was pledged. At one time men pledged
themselves, but this was stopped UNI
der the laws of Scion.
Were the Athenians familiar with
apartment houses? 1t seems so. Wit
ness the following statement by a we'll
known French economist: people
built for speculation sort OF Inn,
the apartments of which were let to
strangers whom politics or commerce
attracted to Athens, and who had no
right of citizenship there" Rentals
In Athens amounted to about S1s per
cent of the capital invested In the
property.
In the claim of Germany that she
has secured control Of the seas through
| the destruction of shipping, by sub
marines, we have a parallel case In
the history of Rome. The Romans
were never fond of going to sea and
| had a peculiar horror of commerce.
In Carthage they destroyed 500 yes
sells. Augustus, who brought victory
in a naval battle at Actium, greatly
feared water. 1t was through their
| wholesale destruction of ships that the
Romans gained control of the sea.
Ancient Rome faced the same prob
lem we do in the congestion OF cities
and neglect of agriculture. Virgil
lamented this tendency and contrasted
the artificialities of city life and the
simple pleasures of rural living.
Rome, too, had big business" The
great bulk of her commercial and Il
nancial affairs were in the hands OF
the Equities" or Roman knights. The
entire industrial fabric was dependent
on them. Roman "big business" just
like that of today, was not immune
from attack. 1t was constantly being
assailed and accused of graft.
The Romans even used checks about
the same as we do today.

You needn't feel mean just because
you don't drop coin when you pass
a crippled beggar or peddler in the
street.
This is the gist of report from the
Associated Charities, in which it is
said that practically every crippled
or otherwise disabled man can get a
self-supporting job today if he wishes.
The Associated Charities maintains
a free employment bureau for the
exclusive use of handicapped men !;
an abundance of trades are open to
them at the present time, and a
thorough investigation into the con.
ditions of the local labor market has
established proof that, with certain
rare exceptions, there is no excuse
for the man who begs or peddles shoe.
strings or pencils on the street, in,
stead of seeking a selfsustaining and
usefully productive job.

SUPERIOR ENGLISH COURT
Says Mass Is a superstition-ParIia-
ment Alone Can Wipe Out Insult.
L Ion, Aug. 10, 1918.

\DOAdyCu NY SCLSOT.)
Cardinal Bourne took the case con-
corning the requests made him by a
retired Irish butler, and which were
dlsallowed on account of their being
specifically for saying Mass, to the
Court of Appeal. The hearing occu-
pied two days this week, and the judg-
ment of the Court of Appeal went
against the Cardinal and the religious
orders. Dominicans, Franciscans, and
Jesuits, each participating to the ex-
tent of $1,000 apiece. while the residue
of an estate of $4,000 should have
gone to His Eminence. The court held
that the requests were for supersti-
tious practices and such were illegal.
The counsel for the plaintiffs cited the
Catholic Emancipation Act of 1929
and even went so far as to put forward
the doubtful and difficult plea that a
"superstitious practice" was any act of
a religion not recognized by law, but
the Judges declared the law as it stood
had been established for close upon a
hundred years. Counsel then pointed
out that up to the fifteenth century
money left for Masses was not an ille-
gal gift, but this had no effect. The
only remedy is to bring bill into Par
Lament to do away with these disabili-
ties.
1t was a graceful and generous &C.
ton, whereby the knights Of Columbus
gave Catholic fraternal touch to the
celebration of Belgian Independence
Day by entertaining at an elegant
luncheon all the wounded Belgian SOL
diers from King Albert's Hospital, who
came down to Westminster Cathedral
for the Solemn High Mass celebrated
by Msgr, de Waechter in presence Of
Princess Napoleon and. the Belgian
minister, followed by the "Te Deum"
and prayers for King Albert. The
Knights, who were themselves repre-
scented at the ceremony afterwards,
escorted the wounded to their fine new
hut beneath the shadow of the Cathe-
dral, where luncheon was served. An
other notable feature of the celebra-
ton was the presence of the band of
the 9th Belgian regiment, famous for
it's skill and courage, which gave the
music of the service and sounded the
"Aux Champs" at the Elevation. The
Lord Mayor of London attended in
state and the various powers were
represented by their ambassadors.
Cardinal Bourne, who presided and in
toned the "Te Deum," was afterwards
present at the Belgian demonstration
in the Queens Hail.

can a great love for Germany, whose
policies kept ecclesiastical diplomats
continually on guard against the out
rageous and arbitrary actions of
wholly selfish and brutal government,
which was ready to sacrifice the re-
lfgion and souls of it's people in order
to attain it's ambitious objects. Ger
many has condemned her citizens to
absolute surrender of heart and mind
and body to their country. They can
not first be Christian. A Germans
religion means nothing to the govern
ment, when it's interest are at stake.
But now to the actual state of af-
fairs in Rome. A very eminent &C.
clesiastic said the other day on an
occasion when many people were
present: First and foremost, l am
a Britisher," which was severely cen
sured by many, for first and fore
most, some claimed, he was a prince
of the Church. However that may be,
this particular prince of the Church
might be taken as an authority in
speaking of the pro-ally or pro-Ger-
man feelings of the Vatican.
The newspapers antagonistic to
Catholics have repeatedly raised hue
and cry. Why does not the Pope pro-
test against this or that outrage or
atrocity? Here Us the crucial point:
He has protested. But the answers
were often such that it would have
prejudiced the allied cause to have
published them. He went further than
that; he had Investigations made and
found that many statements given out
by the press lacked all foundation.
BY rights his protests should only
have been made when the life or prop.
erty of the Church was involved, but
he went further than that; he pro-
tested even on such occasions as the
aerial bombardment of open towns in
Italy. The answers have never been
published and though know the
facts, l consider the allied cause too
sacred to give the slightest occasion
for criticism to our enemies.
We are only human and dare say
in the enthusiasm of our patriotism
and fight for liberty and right we
have made mistakes, probably exag-
gerated, or even told an untruth. Be
that as 1t may, our cause must not
be sullied by the suspicion of un-
truthfulness; we must be just and
not condemn because it suits our re-
ligious prejudices; first let us hear
both sides of the story. consider it
greatly to the credit of Pope Bene-
dict XIV that he has taken the atti-
tude that he has taken; that he made
the protests and did not publish them,
that his pro-ally heart could not re-
sist the temptation to protest where
theoretically as a neutral and Father
of the Church he had no business to
protest; and finally that the answers
were not published, for had they been,
they might have given the idea that
we allies had gone a step too far in
our statements, solely moved by our
indignation, of course, and might have
prejudiced our fervor, let alone sub
jecting the Pope to the shadow of a
pro-German sentiment.
That the Pope and the Vatican are
although the Vicar of Christ
has no business to be anything but
neutral, is vouched for further by his
compliance to the slight
est hints of the representatives of the
allied nations and of the Italian gov
i'm efforts to clear the Vatican

man elements.

AVIATORS FIND A
GOOD LANDING FIELD

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 15.--Atlanta
has accidentally made the discovery
that she has first class landing field
for aviators in the shape of a long
stretch of fairway on the golf course
at East Lake, and now she will not
feel such a hesitancy in inviting
hirdmen 10 pay her a social call
when occasion offers.
Two young aviators, Lieutenant
Rogers and Lieutenant Johnson, flew
to Atlanta from Souther Field at
Americas last Saturday and gave the
city a thrilling exhibition of gym
nastics above the roofs of the sky
scrapers. They landed on the mill
tary parade ground at Mort McPher-
son. But when they started to take
off" at that place they found that
there was. hardly room to rise with
a mechanician in each machine, and
So the two flyers went up alone and
drove their machines to East Lake,
where they found an abundance OF
room and a fine smooth turf on which
to land and take off.
