Apartment houses, that must by law
be childless, were condemned by Arch
bishop John J. Glennon of St. Louis in
an address before the federation
"Children are excluded from these
apartments because they get on peo
pies nerves." the Archbishop said
when people find that childhood gets
on their nerves it is time for them to
be committed to institutions treating
such diseases" Archbishop Glennon
declared that apartments housing such
persons should be designated by the
names they deserve.
"There was" the Archbishop said
"a well defined, insidious philosophy
which, with it's missionaries and
prophets, made its appeal to the ma
ton in the days preceding the war;
which conceded no honor to mother
hood but rather proclaimed it bur
den and afolly-proclaimed it's avoid
ance to be both economic and patriotic
even though the means be criminal
and which taught the supremacy OF
selfshness and denied sacrifice. It is
this philosophy which has led to your
apartment house which must by law
be childless, and is the nefariOus one
that must be rooted out and in it's
place restored the laws of nature and
Of God, which mean that the mother
and her children shall take first place
in the esteem, respect, and support OF
all people, This, | would say, should
be for you Catholic women the first
plank in your plans for reconstruction
work
For your second work, | would sug.
gest another, which is intimately as
ISOLATED, if not identical with the first
1t is the restoration of the sanctity
and stability of the marriage bond to
it's pristine value. 1t must always be
remembered that divorce as a system
bears down on womankind.''
Other speakers were Rev. DR.. Pace
and Miss Katherine Hughes.
Fluctuations received from Cardinal
Gibbons, honorary president of the or
ganization, and a telegraphic word of
appreciation from Archbishop Bowling
of st. Paul were read by Miss Helen

BOOZE AND WATER.

Old Forty Rod is on the blink, it's
knell will soon be footed; but water is
goodly drink, when it is not diluted
Oh, water makes no strong appeal to
sports all soaked with whisky; they
want drink that makes them feel
obstreperous and frisky. But soon
twill be a grounding case, this thing
OF water drinking; man can't buy Bit
tiers for his face or get the same, by
Winking. And this will rack full many
mind, to some make life distressing;
but soon the red-nosed sports will find
that hydrants are a blessing. 1t is a
noble thing to rise, at morn, with
buOyant body, and have no sore and
blood-hot eyes, no headache loud and
gaudy. It's fine to spend a restful
night, nor dream of alligators, and
then to have no appetite for steak and
eggs and taters. It's good to have a
bone or two, to have kopeck handy,
that will not go for some ones brew,
some brand of gin or brandy. The
hydrant draws no gilded boys, no dead
game sports surround it; but it in
creases human joys, when once the
soak has found it; when once he's
learned to like the juice that from the
hydrant trickles, he has to wonder
why the deuce he blew for beer his
nickels. .. a3

CONSIDERATION OF FAMILIES

When the Intention for the
month Of June was presented to
the Holy Father for his approval,
he wrote with his own hand: eve
approve of this selection and we
desire that this Conservation
should be as widespread as pos
sible. - This manifestation of
Pope Benedict's deep interest in
the movement to have all homes
consecrated to the Sacred Heart of
Jesus is, as our readers know, an
echo OF his announcements on
two solemn occasions last year,
when the DEGREES that marked the
last steps preparatory to the can
oniZation Of Blessed Margaret
Mary Alacoque were read in his
presence.
On January 6, when the two
miracles necessary for canoniza-
ton were approved, His Holiness
recommended this pious work in
glowing terms: ''In very spe-
cial manner and with the deepest
gratitude we praise God for the
admirable diffusion Of the holy
work Of the Conservation Of Chris
tan families to the Sacred Heart
Of Jesus. Oh, if all families would
consecrate themselves to this Di-
vine Heart, and fulfill the obliga-
tions that result from such a con
secration, the social reign Of Jesus
Christ would be assured. The
dawn lets us know what the noon
day will be and We, who hail in
this practice Of consecrating fami-
lies to the Sacred Heart the dawn
Of that MONDAY so longed for
when the sovereignty Of Jesus
Christ will be acknowledged by
all, repeat with confident joy the
words Of Saint Paul: He must
reign -
This was followed, on January
II, by an autograph letter i'll
which the following words occur
eve desire that Christian families
should consecrate themselves to
the Divine Heart of Jesus and we
bless each and every family that
will thus contribute to the social
recognition of the sovereignty OF
love of the Sacred Heart Of Jesus
in Christian families"
Again, on March II, after the
reading Of the decree that the
Holy See might safely proceed to
the canonization Of Blessed Mar
garet Mary, the Pope renewed his
wishes for the widespread conse-
Grafton of all Christian families tC
the Sacred Heart Of Jesus.

CATHOLIC ALUMNAE
BIENNIAL CONVENTION WAS
TIONS SUPPORTING CATHOLIC
CAUSES ENCOURAGEMENT
FROM ARCHBISHOP BOWLING
NOTED SPEAKERS.

Inauguration of a Catholic press
hour once a week in every Catholic
college, university and academy of the
United States and Canada, when cur
rent Catholic magazine and articles
may be read and discussed by the stu
dents, was urged in a resolution passed
at the third biennial convention of the
International Federation of Catholic
Alumnae which convened last week in
luton also pledged unanimous sup
port to the Catholic press and further
urged that the Catholic encyclopedia
be given a prominent place in the
library of every home as we'll as in
the schools.
The conference was attended by
more than 500 delegates, representing
the $4,000 alumnae of the most promi-
nent Catholic schools of this country
and Canada, and among whom were
alumnae of st. Joseph's Academy, ST.
GATHERINGS college, Visitation acad,
envy, st. Paul; st. Margaret's Acad-
envy, Minneapolis, and st. Benedict's
academy, st. Joseph, Minnesota.
THAT woman suffrage would prove
powerful factor for good" was the
opinion expressed by the Right Rev
erend Thomas f. Lillis, d. D., bishop
of Kansas City, and the Reverend
William S. Robinson of the staff of ST.
Louis university. Bishop Lillis eX-
horted the alumnae members to be
careful in their employment of ''the
powerful weapon that was being put
into their hands," and to use it in the
cause of good citizenship and for the
welfare and upbuilding of the human
race
Father Robinson told the alumnae
that the latest official records show
the United States to have had the larg-
est proportional divorce rate of any
country in the world for the past
twenty years. Social service friends,
stop the hole in the dixie" he exhorted,
"and do it through the ballot. Do it
by ostracising socially the Divorce,
not in an attitude of L am holier than
thou" he said, "but in a spirit of
loyalty to God and country against an
apostate that is poisoning the wells
of humanity"

struction Of a memorial church.
The result Of all this was that to-
day we have throughout the
world the feast Of Corpus Christi,
the Body of Our Lord, and Or
veto enshrines the precious relics
in one Of the finest churches in all
Christendom.
Some years ago Pope Gregory
XVI, the predecessor of Plus TX,
visited the little city. He was
shown the relics which repose in
magnificent reliquary Of solid
gold, silver and precious stones.
He examined the blood-stained
corporal, and then broke Of a
small particle Of the sacred Host,
still preserved fresh and intact,
and placed it in the fire. The tiny
particle, under the effect Of the
fire, acted in the same manner as
human flesh, The Holy Father,
dropping on his knees, at once in
censed the Sacred Host, placed it
back in the reliquary, and affixed
the papal seal Oh the door Of the
tabernacle inclosing the Host.
Today the corporal is exposed
to the veneration Of the faithful at
stated intervals. The blood stains
are still clear and fresh, and the
reliquary, which weighs four hun
dred pounds, is carried by the
clergy, in full vestments, throu Oh
out the city every year on the
feast Of Corpus Christi.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
WHAT is INTOxICATlON?

The intrinsic malice of the drink
excess, which is called intoxication.
Intoxication may exist in different de-
grees and stages; it is the state of
man who loses, to any extent, control
over his reasoning faculties through
the effects of alcohol. There is evil
and sin the moment the brain is af-
fected; when reason totters and falls
from it's throne in the soul, then the
crime is consummated
When man says and does and
thinks what in his sober senses he
would not say, do, or think, that man
is drunk, and there is mortal sin on
his soul. 1t is not an easy matter
to define just when intoxication prop
erly begins and sobriety ends; every
man must do that for himself. But
| he should consider himself we'll on the
| road to guilt when, being aware that
the fumes of liquor were fast becloud-
ing his mind, he took another glass
| that was certain to still further OBJ
scure his reason and paralyze his will.
about the grossness of this vice, it's
baneful effects and consequences, to
which it were useless here to refer
| Suffice it to say there is nothing that
| besots a man more completely and
| lowers him more ignObly to the level
OF the brute. He falls below, for the
most stupid of brutes, the ass, knows
when it has enough; and the drunk
| ard does not. 1t requires small wit
indeed to understand that there is no
sin in the catalogue of crime that
person in this state is not capable of
| committing. He will do things the
very brute would blush to do; and
then he will say it was one of the
devils jokes. The effects on indi-
viduals, families and generations,
born and unborn, cannot be exagger-
ated; and the drunkard is a tempter
of God and the curse of society.
| Temperance is a moderate use of
strong drink; teetOtalism is absolute
| aDstent1On therefrOm. A man may be
temperate without being a teetotaler:
all teetotalers are temperate, at least
as far as alcohol is concerned, al
though they are sometimes, some of
them, accused of using temperance
as a cloak for much intemperance of
| speech. If this be true-and there
are cranks in all causes-then tenn
perance is itself the greatest sufferer.
EXaggeration is a mistake; it repels
right-thinking men and never served
any purpose. We believe it has done
the cause of teetotalsm a world of
harm. But it is poor logic that will
identify with so holy a cause the
rabid rantings of a few irresponsible
fools.
The cause of total abstinence is a
holy and righteous cause. 1t takes
its stand against one of the greatest
evils, moral and social, of the day. 1t
seeks to redeem the fallen, and to
save the young and inexperienced.
Its means are organization and the
mighty weapon of good example. 1t
attracts those who need it and those
who do not need it; the former, to
save them; the latter, to help save
others. And there is no banner I'M
der which Catholic youth could more
honorably be enrolled than the ban
ner of total abstinence.

Writing from the Pyramids of
Egypt, DIR. William T. Ellis muses.
thus: "Proclaimed by the
pyramids, echoing from the Paris
Conference, sounding above all
the tumult and clash Of unrest
the world around, is the timely
truth of the prominence of the
spiritual. All thinking persons
today are deeply stirred by It'd
ings of trouble, Of disorder and
unsettlement. Wherein is the
remedy to be found? What is the
answer? Have faith in God. God
has not let go His hold upon His
world. He is doing wondrous
things; they are not happening.
He is either doing them or over
ruling them. God is still reign
ing"

THE BODY OF CHRIST.

More than six centuries ago a
pious Belgian priest was on a pill
grimage to Rome. Stopping at
the shrine Of St. Cristina, at the
lake of Bolseno, in Italy, he Of
fered up Mass in the famous
church. At the elevation Of the
Host he noticed drops of blood
trickling down on the corporal.
Alarmed at the sight, he left the
altar. At the command of the
Holy Father, who was at Orvieto
with his court, the corporal and
the Host were transferred to that
city, with great solemnity, by the
Bishop and the clergy. The SUI
preme Pontiff examined corporal
and Host, Intercepted the priest,
and then ordered both Host and
corporal preserved in a local
church. Scientific examination
disclosed the fact that the drops
on the corporal were real blood.
At this time there resided in
Orvieto the sanity doctor, Thomas
Aquinas. The Holy Father de-
cided to institute a festival for
the Church in honor of the mir
aculous occurrence that took place
at Lake Bolseno. st. Thomas, at
the command of the Pope, set
about to compose Mass and a
divine office to accompany the
festival. The people Of Orvieto,
proud Of the possession Of such
wondrous relics, began the con-

SELECTING THE SCHOOL.

Once more the question comes
around: To what school shall we
send the children next year.
Glasses have come to an end, com
mencements have put the finishing
touches to the work Of the year,
and parents are looking forward
to the choice of school for the
next term.
Where it is a question Of choos-
ing a club, of selecting a summer
resort, Of deciding on matters Of
domestic interest, there may be
wide latitude Of opinion. In the
matter Of a school, however, for
Catholics the answer should be as
simple as in selecting a church.
The Catholic recognizes but one
church in which he shall worship
he should recognize but one school
in which his children shall be edu-
Gated. The very fact that a Cath
ole hesitates in such a momentous
decision shows at once that his
faith is weak and that his interest
in the little ones is based upon
material more than upon spiritual
considerations.
Our parochial schools are the
glory Of the Church in this coun-
try. They are filled to overflow
ing, while new structures are con-
tinually rearing their heads in
every part Of the land. With re-
gard to the institutions Of higher
education, however, the same
statement must be slightly altered.
After finishing the grade schools,
the children begin to consider So
cial advantages, and their doting
parents frequently encourage at
tendance at secular institutions
where the allurements Of the
world are held out with more
lavish hand.
Our Catholic high schools, col
leges and academies are not
patronized by our Catholic people
as such schools deserve. There is
not the same proportionate attend
ance at these institutions that one
would be justified in expecting.
The result is that, in many cases,
young men and women are left to
the merciless attacks Of material
ism and Indifference that exist
elsewhere. An atmosphere of
positive irreligion, like a mephitic
haze, gradually seeps into the
soul, Catholic ideas and ideals
soon begin to warp, with the con
sequent lessening Of faith and a
growing looseness of morals.
Let Catholics consider seriously.
with their eyes on eternity
whether it is not better for all
concerned that their children
should continue to attend these
institutions which will preserve
the high standards Of faith and
morals so sedulously inculcated in
the grade school. The Church
needs, and needs badly, a cul-
tured, strong, intelligent, religious
laity. Any attempt on the part OF
misguided parents to hamper the
supplying Of that need will be
met by the just punishment OF
God.

THE GOOD AND THE BAD
ABOUT 1T.

It's fine old world to live in
When the weather's keeping fair;
And the weak alone are driven
To destruction and despair;
It's fine old world to grin in
And fine old world to win in,
But a poor old world to sin in,
For the sake of getting there"
It's fine old world to hope in
If our purposes are high,
But a poor old world to grope in
For the ones that fear to try;
It's fine world to believe in,
And a fine world to achieve in,
But poor old place to grieve in,
Whether it be wet or dry.
It's a fine old world to work in
For the things that should be won
But a poor old place to shirk in
While so much remains undone;
It's a fine old world to belong in,
And q fine world to be strong in,
But poor place to go wrong in,
Don't ignore that fact, my son.
It's a fine world to stay in
When there's no booze around.
But a poor old place to play in
While beer and wine abound.
It's grand old world to dine in,
And fine old world to shine in,
But a poor old place to pine in,
Just cause liquors being downed.
