patron Of kV|ATORS
OUR LADY HoNORED EACH YEAR
BY FRENCH AiRMEN.

"Our Lady Of Aviators," or rather
Our Lady Protectress of Aviators,"
is the latest title given to the Bless
ed Virgin 1t had it's origin in Paris.
The aviators OF France have chosen
the Mother of God to protect them, in
their flights, and they have chosen
the little church of st. Palais Sur
Mer (where Bleriot, the famous air
man, and Able Clianan, the parish
priest eXcogitated the movement) as
the center Of the cult. Already all
the Catholic aviators of France be
long to the guild.
When Bleriot flew over the channel
he had a picture of the Blessed Vir
gin in his airplane This seems to
be the origin Of the guild And now
Ia picturesque ceremony is witnessed
every year on August Is, Feast OF
the Assumption. The aviators OF
France arrive in their airplanes al
the little church of ST. Palais Sur
Mer. They hear mass and then carry
in procession the statue of Our Lady
| Protectress of Aviators," and the eX
vote airplanes of silver and COLE
which members of the guild present
| ed to the church in thanksgiving fol
some instance of the protection of thu
Blessed Virgin.

K. OF c. EXAMPLES
BEST SERMONS WERE THOSE OF
KINDLY DEE SHOW THE
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS MADE
CONVERTS AMONG THE SOL
DiERS.

The general attitude of the Knights
of Columbus secretaries and the at
titude of the Catholic soldier boys
toward their faith were given as the
reasons for many conversions, which
William E. Reed, X. of c., secretary
from Longmont, Colo, witnessed dur
ing his years service overseas.
"On one OCCASION he said, while
| was stationed at Hospital No. 2, a
young soldier when offered anything
by the K. OF C. secretary refused to
accept. | thought to myself, surely
it will not do to pass by this young
fellow so the next time | laid some
chocolate and gum on his bed. The
poor fellow was constantly becoming
worse but every day as | passed by
encouraged him with few words.
Not long after, as | was going down
the stairs after one of my daily visits,
l met a Belgian priest who was sta
toned at the hospital. He told me
the boy was dying and had asked to
be baptized. The priest had answered
the boys request to see him.
81 wish to be baptized the boy
said.
The priest was surprised and
asked: What is the trouble; are you
sure?'
"'Yes, l am came he reply. The
worse l used the K. of C. secretary,
the better he used me. He told me

became better, and recovered. Later

example of many soldiers who EN-.
braced the Catholic faith. At another

olics because of the kindness and gen
eral attitude Of the Catholic boys un,
der their command.
There was no attempt to preach
to anyone; the best sermons were
those exemplified by the Catholic sol
diers who attended Mass at every
opportunity and who performed their
religious duties in spite of the handi
caps Of military service. At our hute
every time Mass was said there was
standing room only. The faithfulness
of the Catholic soldiers from the
United States, which impressed
others, was very evident Any time
the K. Of C. were to entertain all
tlocked to our huts."

SAVING THE CHILD
A PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION
OF EFFlCIENcY-c OLIc
CHARITIES EAU MAKES
FINE RECORD.

During the month of July, 1919, the
Conference of Catholic Charities, Pitts
burgh, through it's Child Placing De-
partment, found homes for 112 of the
215 children thrown. upon it's hands.
This means that 112 children were
placed in good homes at the expense
OF the home owners, and the many
charitable institutions of the Diocese
were thus eXOnerated from caring for
them, writes Rev. Dr. Coakley.
The total cost to the Catholic Char
tiles Bureau for placing the 112 chill
dren was exactly $135.52, or $1.21 each.
That means that the Charities Bureau
had to pay once for all time the sum
of $135.52 for it's Investigations in thus
effectively disposing permanently Of
these 112 children in splendid, sanitary
homes, under proper surveillance, and
with regular visitation afterwards.
The County of Allegheny allows the
sum of $4.4S per week for all children
placed out in Institutions or elsewhere,
and on this basis the Catholic Char
tiles Bureau saved the Institutions of
the Diocese the sum of $504.00 per
week for the 112 children placed out
during July. This means 100000 for
the whole month of July, and for the
year it means the enormous sum of
$24 100000 plus. And all this for the
mere trif1e of 1882 originally spent
in Investigating the homes.
We do not know any more eloquent
argument than this one of actual
money saving to convince Catholic
people and priests of the tremendous
Importance of the Conference of Catho-
lie Charities. The Charities Bureau
actually saves money, and saves it in
great quantities.
All this is entirely apart from what
is after all the very real argument in
the whole matter, namely the spiritual
side OF it, the immortal souls of the
children. Had the Catholic Charities
Child Placing Bureau not taken charge
of the 215 cases of children thrown
upon its hands during the month of
July alone, there is every probability
in the world that these same children
would not even have been placed in
our Catholic Institutions, or homes,
but would have been thrown into the
hands of the enemies of religion, who
are constantly on the alert, with vast
sums of money, and tireless energy,
to steal away the souls of Catholic
children.

CR|MELESS IRELAND
LITTLE COUNTRY Is SINGULARLY
FREE FROM cRIME-DEcLARED
MORE LAW ABIDING THAN ENG.
LAND,

The holding of assizes in Ireland usu-
ally affords the Irish people an excel
lent opportunity for an examination
OF its conscience. The judges, in their
addresses to grand juries, are accus-
toned to survey the condition of coun-
ties, and express their opinions there
on with considerable frankness, says
the Irish Daily Independent. The fact
that strikes us most forcibly in the
reports of their statements at the
Summer Assizes just concluded is the
distinction which they find it neces-
sary to make in SO many counties be-
tween ordinary" and extraordinary
cases, that is to say between criminal
and political offences. That distinc-
ton having been made, the next
salient fact is the remarkable scarcity
of criminal offences amongst a people
shown to be at an extreme pitch of
political excitement. Not all the
judges cared to envisage the situation
SO fairly as Mr.. Justice PIN when he
said, speaking Of Meath, that "the
county was in quiet and peaceable
condition, and if there was unrest
they should not forget that unrest
was over the whole world, and in a
great many countries it was worse
than here" The same could have
been said of many other counties.
where the absence of serious cases
afforded striking contrast to the
known conditions in the neighboring
island, but where the admission was
made it was generally grudging one
The grand juries have only to
deal with few cases of crime, but
the police reports supply pretext for
judicial misgiving or condemnation
In places where crime, political OF
otherwise, has been committed, it is
right and necessary that the Judge
should denounce it. But the matter
does not end there. 1t would be vel
worth while for his Majesty's judges
to ask, as thinking people in IRELAND
! and elsewhere are asking, how it hap
| pens that people as free from of
| lenses against the moral law as any
! on the earth, and very much more
orderly" than their predominant
I, partners, have yet to be lectured upoi
their political unrest, sedition and ter
rorisIn.. And having asked ,theg ques
| ton, will any Judge be frank enough
to give the answer?

possible, by word and example and
prayer, to effect the conversion of the
non-Catholic party. (4) In some do
ceses, the non-Catholic party is asked
to receive some instructions in the
Catholic faith. The reason is that by
marrying a Catholic, he becomes the
head of Catholic family, and he
should know something of the religion
of the family Of which he is the head.
These are the conditions that the
Church requires before a mixed mar
ri2ge may be tolerated.

VATICAN MARRIAGES
INSTANCES WHEREIN POPE OFF,
GATED AT WEDDiNGS-RECE
EVENT RECALLS MANY OTHER
SUCH SOLEMN CEREMONIES IN
ROME.

As reported recently, the Holy
Father himself, in the chapel of the
Sala Mathilde at the Vatican, has said
the nuptial Mass and blessed the mar
riage of two members of the Roman
nobility, Don Clemente Prince del
Drago and Donna Giacinta Ruspoli.
The bride is the niece of Prince Rus
poll, who is the Holy Fathers Master
Of the Sacred Hospice, the official,
that is, who had charge in old days
of seeing to the accommodations of
pilgrims to Rome, great or small,
whom the Pope treated as his guests.
After the Mass His Holiness first gave
the newly married pair a little ad-
dress, then gave them and few near
relatives the privilege of having break
fast with him.
Precedents.
+ 1t is not the first time that the Pope
has blessed marriage of distin-
guished people in the Vatican For
precedent, we can go back as far as
1472, when Sixtus " celebrated the
marriage Of Sofia, niece of Constan-
tine Palaeologus, with Ivan ii, Prince
of Moscow. 1t was in st. Peter's-but
in those days St. Peters was the same
as the Vatican-aRd there was q not
able assembly of great personages,
Roman, Slav and others, present. 1t
was SiXtus " also, who joined in mar
riage by procura King Ferdinand |
with Joan Of Aragon.

Este, We're married in great pomp in
the Vatican in 1902, in the presence
of Pope Alexander VI, himself a
