COMPUTING AGE IN AFRICA.

Africans, as a rule, like to consider
themselves very, very old. To be an
ancient" is to be one of the judges
and advisers of the tribe. Therefore
having no exact dates to go by, they
are able to give themselves as many
years as they please.
Father Tanguy, W. F., sends an in
stance of this chara cteristic in a cou
pie of blacks he encountered in Chi
louboula, East Africa, not long ago
To one Of them he said:
"Kalindira, tell me. How many
winters have you seen since God put
you in the world?"
ooh, Father. l am very old; my
winters are like the stars; they can
no more be counted. I have lived
through the reigns Of many sultans
When the Europeans arrived in my
country, was already aged"
''And you, Kapaso, when did you
make your appearance ON this earth?'
"A lie is not good, Father, so | will
not lie. When Mullenga, the spirit
of evil, caused the elephants, the buf
faloes and the cattle to perish
throughout the land, I was in my
mothers arms
The man alluded to the hoof and
mouth disease that ragged here in 1889,
so that he was in reality quite young.

HOW A PROTESTANT EDITOR
HANDLES A FOOLISH BIGoT.

We have never met, and do not
know, the editor of The Salt Lake
Tribune-but we do know he is a
menace to the bigots who are foolish
enough to come within reach of his
burning pen. Under the caption,
"Shermans Tirade,'' the brilliant
Protestant writer said:
NO American, no matter what his
creed or convictions may be, can read
the speech of Senator Sherman
against the League of Nations, in
which he attacks the Catholic Church
in her head and members and gives a
false statement of her teaching and
spirit, without mingled feelings of an
ger, shame and pity. The question
naturally arises, is the man a fool, a
fakir, or fanatic, or a dangerous
demagogue, with the meanest quail
tiles of all three? Is he simply ignor-
ant and to be pitied or malicious and
to be punished?
Whatever may be the explanation,
is there place today in the United
States Senate for such a man? At a
time when all the constructive forces
of the country should be marshaled
for unity and cooperation, such an
appeal to blind bigotry is not simply
a misfortune but a crime. He admits
that he took counsel and deliberated
before committing the folly, and con-
sequently, is not entitled to the con-
sideration given to one who speaks in
anger or under strong provocation.
If this is his mature judgment, what

SHELTER THE LEPERS.

The leper asylum at Shek-lung
near Canton, China, was never before
SO crowded. It's director, Father Des
wazieres, P. F. NJ, says there are
over seven hundred inmates in the
hospital, figure that surpasses any
reached since it's foundation. Pagan
mandarins outside the district be-
seech the nuns to receive their lepers
knowing how well cared for and how
happy the poor creatures are when
living in Catholic institutions. The
mission workers are only too glad
to respond to these appeals from
influential pagans, if they can, as it is
a proof that they and their faith are
making a good impression-but how
can they do so with almost empty
purses!
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1919-12-20
is his character? Is he trying to dig

is his character? Is he trying to dig
up and explode the dynamite of big
otry, which the war and the work of
the Catholic Church have buried?
THE Senator's statements and in
ferences are not only false but often
sive and dangerous. In the face of
facts known to all the world, as we'll
as of the glorious record of Catholics,
from Foch down to the private in the
ranks-where the Catholic Church
gave more than her share of Drawn
and blood-for a United States SEN
ator to rise in his place in the Senate
and maHciously falsify the Church's
teachings, impugn the motives Of the
Holy Father. question the loyalty and
patriotism of Catholics, is an insult
The press of the country should de-
nounce the outrage; the state of Ill.
inois should relegate this man to the
limbo of dead politicians his fellow
Senators must resent the disgrace, for
Senator Sherman has shown himself
to be lacking in the essential qualities
of Senator, of an American and of
a gentleman
Coming, from a secular journal,
such a defense of the Catholic Church
is remarkable; as indicative of the
feelings of the great secular press
leaders throughout the country it is
still more important, pertinent and
commendable. In the face of all this
we may well ask with The Tribune:
SIS there place today in the United
States Senate for such a bigot as
Sherman of Illinois? Should not that
state relegate him to the limbo of
dead politicians"

The first missionary to Borneo was
an Italian named Father Antonio Ven
timiglia, Theatine, who reached the
island in 1888. He died rather mys-
teriously, after making some converts.
The next attempt was made by a
Spanish priest in 1857, and in 1881
the Mill Hill Fathers began evangeli-
zation on large scale. Considerable
progress has been made by them.

Cincinnati Psychology

years of failure in forty-6ve pennant races without

If 1t was the same club that started out the rocky

psychology thereof would be slightly tinged with
pessmism.

to wear their collars cut low in order to be prepared

ones who make the base hits and the runs.

est hghter-Dempsey as he against Willard or
Jettres as he against Fitzsmmons in their first
fght?"
Mentally matching from 1919 against one
from 1879 calls for more than normal imagination
Je1frles at that date twenty-five pounds heavier
than Dempsey was against Willard almost as fast
and much more rugged. With that ancient crouch he
had better defence than Dempsey seems to have
but not as much leverage in his punches Jeffries
was not dropping them in two rounds But
ne was meeting Fitzsmmonses, Corbetts and Sharkevs
not Morrises, Futons etc.
Isn't 1T almost enough for a man to be the ton
liner IN his profession in his day and time?
1t must not be forgotten that Jeries was the man
who practically killed off all competition, and that
after holding the title for six Years he had to retire
and pass it along to Tommy Burns because there was
no else who wanted to take the losers end
