SQUIRREL.

At this some of the neighbors. who
had been hiding near by. couldn't re.
sist a grin of amusement. Some of
them knew to their sorrow that Mrs.
Jay herself was not above destroying
the eggs of other birds. Perhaps
the worst thing that can be said
against Sammy and Mrs. Jay is that
they are over fond of eating the eggs
of their feathered neighbors.

up Chatterer the Red Squirrel. who
could keep still no longer. "Blacky

Mrs. Jay looked UP with a startled
expression in her face. She knew
just who Chatterer meant.
"I don't believe you." said she.
Sammy Jay may have a bad temper

would he break his own eggs. don't

But I'm not the only one VINO

Then out from their hiding places
came all the feathered neighbors, who
had been hiding where they could
see all that went on at the Jay home.
1--WE saw him! All of us saw Sammy
Jay do it," they cried together.
Then Mrs. Jay knew that it was
true. She glanced once more at her
nest of broken eggs, now filling with

CANON
LAW CHANGED
New Regulations in Effect To-
morrow-Marriage Banns
Necessary.

Few vital changes have been made
in the new Catholic canon law which
will go into effect all over the world
tomorrow. 1t is expected priests in
all of the Catholic ceurches will men,
tion the changes in their talks at
misses tomorrow.
There Is a slight change in the
marriage laws and the baptismal reg
ulations are made more clear The
Irish descendants will be pleased TO
learn that hereafter flesh food and
fish may be served at banquets Of
st. Patrick's day. March IL. although
the day falls usually in Lent. The
regulation OF the canon law has often
caused no end of trouble In the ar
rangements for service at the hotels.
but under the revised law Of the
church ST. Patrick's day hereafter
will be eliminated as a Lenten fast
day or a time of abstinence.
Cardinals Are Limited.
1t is also stated in the new law
that no one may be created a car
dinal. a prince of the church. who is
related by the second degree of con-
sanguinity to a living cardinal. This
will eliminate wholly ecclesiastical
politics, and this feature does not
apply to any great extent to this
country, but rather TO Italy. The
three cardinals accredited to this
country are Of no blood relation and
no future cardinal is likely to be
related to any of the existing ones.
The canon law, as 1t has been built
up in the centuries. had grown into
a ma assive and complicated series OF
volumes, each couched In the YER
nacular OF its time. Thirteen years
ago the Pope decided to have new
codex compiled and he called upon
the best minds I'm the church through
out the world for aid. Cardinals. arch
bishops, bishops and priests were set
to studying the old code. each making
a record Of his interpretations and
the reason therefor. and making sug-
eestfops for the simplification- Of the
phraseology. All of these were sent
to Rome. where the commission in
direct charge of the work studied
and digested and wrought. and the
result is a single volume OF nve
books.
The laws have been slightly modi-
fed SO that now it il permissible Tor
a valid marriage to be contracted IN
the period between Christmas and the
feast of the Epiphany, which faiis
on January 6. Heretofore marriage
was forbidden between the hrst Snn-
day of Advent and the Epiphany: now
the period of inhibition ends at
Christmas.

Banns Still Obligatory.

Banns remain obligatory. Where
not announced from the altar. they
must be published in a written no.
tice at the church door. which must
be left in place for at least eight days.
This period is prescribed SO as to
necessarily include two Sundays. on
which, the faithful are obligated to
hear mass and therefore have ample
opportunity to see the notice.
In mixed marriages the banns are
not published except with the ordi-
nary's permission, and then without
mention of the creed Of the non
Catholic. When parents do not know
of the intended marriage of couple
under twenty-one years of age. or
are reasonably opposed to the mar
riase, the pastor may not proceed be-
fore submitting the case to the ordi-
nary and receiving his permission.
Any non-Catholic ceremony in
mixed marriage is forbidden. either
before or after the Catholic ceremony.
The age Of legitimate consent to
marriage has been raised in the case
of males to sixteen years and in the
case of females to fourteen years.

sons of blood or afiinative relationship
the law has been relaxed to per-
nit a marriage between persons IN

dispensation being still forbidden
within the nrst three degrees OF

fty, where the marriage is Of those
connected merely by adoption. the
rule has been established that the

such marriages the church will per-
form them, otherwise not In fact,
throughout the new codincation
there is evident a desire to conform
