BELG|ANS AND TEUT0NS
CARDINAL MERCER SILENCES
OBJECTIONS RAISED AGAINST
PoPE's HUMANITARIAN AP-
PEAL.

The Pope's appeal for collections on
behalf of suffering children of Central
Europe has produced heart search
ings among Belgian Catholics, who
felt dsinclined to contribute to the
maintenance of Germans while SO
many Of their own and French chill
dren are grievously afflicted as the
result of under-feeding due to the war.
Cardinal MERCER announced that
the collection would be held in be-
half of chose victims of the war who
were especially worthy Of compassion;
the children of nations most tried by
the terrible scourge'
The Cardinal wrote to the clergy
at Brussels, referring to newspaper
protests against the sovereign pom
tiff's action, and explaining that even
if we were the poorest, we should
grow greater in moral and Christian
sense by doing charity to our neigh
bors without distinction of races or
nationalities. National humanity
would cease to be virtue if it laid
down barriers to Catholic charity"

APPEAL MADE FOR ,PloUS LAY
MEN TO JOIN THIRD ORDER.


The Very Rev. Ignatius Smith, O..
p, national director of the Third Or
der of st. Dominic, is DESTROYS of a
grand apostolic drive among tertiaries
living in the world who are so situated
that they can attract good living
Catholic men and women into the
Third Order.
There are thousands among the
faithful who are not only exemplary
Christians but credit to the parishes
in which they reside. They combine
a regular religious life with their daily
business affairs, and they command
great respect in the outer circles in
which they move.
Many of these persons have never
thought of joining the Third Order of
st. Dominic, which was instituted by
| the great father of the Friars Preach
ers for those not free to leave the
| world. None of the rules of the Third
Order bind under pain of sin. Who
ever is enrolled becomes a recognized
| member of the great Dominican
family and participates in all the
spiritual works of the priests, Broth.
crs and Sisters Of the Order. in life
and death. thereby laying up untold
| treasures in this life aad the next.

An ANGLICAN DIVINE


An. Anglican clergyman in London
has been advocating what he calls a
Non-Papal World Federation of
Schisms. This Rev. n. Williams, who
objects to the adamantine external
unity of the Roman Church, fears the
Papacy will not disappear and thus
break up the Roman communion.
His only hope is that a gradual and
imperceptible transformation of the
theoretical basis of the Papacy may
take place in hundred and fifty years
at the earliest, which would permit
his sect to creep in without too much
humiliation. Meanwhile, he suggests
gathering up old Catholics, Eastern
Orthodox and Scandinavian Episco
palians into a vast non apalS com
munian, to which he fondly ina ines
the Pope may one day submitgssthe
question Of her prerogatiyes and posi-
ton!

FRENCH WAR ORPHANS
VATICAN EXPLAINS THAT RE-
CENT APPEAL WAS INTENDED
FOR ALL SUFFERING LITTLE
ONES.

A report from Rome says that the
attention of the Vatican authorities
has been called to complaints that
have been made in France, even
through Cardinal Annette, the Arch
bishop of Paris, regarding the stress
laid by the Holy See on the needs OF
the children Of Central Europe in its
appeal for the collection of funds
for child sufferers from the war The
complaints point out that in France
also, the children of the devastated
regions are in need of assistance.
The Vatican explains that the as,
sistance contemplated is to be extend
ed to all needy children of any of the
belligerent countries. In fact, it is
pointed out, Mgr. Maglione, the Papal
representative in Switzerland, had
sent supplies to the French children
before any complaints had been made
in France

The first state banquet since the

Secretary of State. 1t was attended
by heads of diplomatic missions to the
Vatican and members of the Sacred
College. BY strange coincidence
Herr Won Berger and Herr Won Ritter

Health Through Will Power, by James
j. Walsh, M. d. Published by Lit
tie, Brown &, Co., Boston. Price
$3.50
The versatility of Dr. Walsh is al
ready well known to the American
public. While pre-eminent as a lee
turer and writer on historical and
scientific subjects, he is also high
authority in his chosen profession of
Medicine. In the present and latest
work from his prolific pen, DR.. Walsh
offers the means to help in restoring
the will to it's rightful place in hui
man life. Catholic philosophy teaches
that the human will is the motive and
spring of all rational actions. To-
gether with the intellect, the will is
the faculty that differentiates human
acts from those of the lower animals.
The author in this treatise points
out the value of will power even in
preventing or in curing many physi-
cal ailments. He examines into it's
functions as controlling factor over
habits, pain and various emotions.
The value of this force in upbuilding
the body as well as the mind is shown
in a most conclusive manner. The
whole work is written for the benefit
of the ordinary layman unacquainted
with the technical nature of scientific
matters. It's perusal will we'll repay
any reader, for each one in its clearly
presented pages will discover new
views that will enable him to make a
far better use of his will power than
he had ever thought possible. The
work is we'll bound, the print large
and clear, and a useful index rounds
out the whole book.

purpose in view, whether in the ca
pacity of an active participation or
merely as an interested spectator
The reasonableness of this prohibition
is apparent from the fact that activi-
ties of this nature are becoming day
by day a Sraver source of moral peril
to, society For with the practice of
the many forms of mind-passivity, of
which the Ouija-board is but one, the
doors are continually being opened,
which, give Jan intimate and perilous
access to-the' spirit-world, to the minds
and souls ~ofsunwary men. In numer-
Gus instances, this leads to the loss OF
all religious faith and to the moral and
mental undoing of the victims

WELFARE OFFICER NEEDED

The matter of the appointment OF
county welfare officer was taken up at
a recent meeting of the local w. q. L.
u, and resolutions were passed urging
that the board Of county commissioners
of Pasouotank take immediate action on
the matter. With the schools now get
ting into full swing in the city, and with
several rural schools already started,
while many others will open within the
next few weeks, the problem OF truan-
CIV is assuming considerable proportions
and the need of welfare officer, who is
also truancy officer, is becoming acute,
The first county welfare officer in Pas
ouotank was Prof. Preston S. Vann, who
was appointed last September. and 'who
resigned in the early summer following
his election to the presidency of Chowan
College, at .Muffre ssboro, n. G. The
place was then temporarily filled by
Secretary V. r. Gilmore, of the Eliza
beth City Y. M. G. A, and it is now
urged that a permanent appointment
be made in the immediate future.

THOSE BIRDS WERE
BIG TIME BURGLARS
Couldn't Get Big Sedan and Wouldn't
Take Nearby Ford

Thieves entered the garage of 0. F.
Gilbert. back of his handsome home on
Pennsylvania avenue early Sunday morn
ing. and made an unsuccessful attempt
to get away with Mr.. Gilbert's big, ex-
pensive sedan car. The Yale lock on
the automobile baffled all their efforts
to pick or unlock it, and they finally
gave up after breaking off a key in
the lock. Close beside the big auto
which they tried to carry off was
Ford. The would-be robbers left g
Ford key behind them, proving that,
had they been SO minded, they, could
readily have made a getaway with the
flivver, but they turned their noses up
at the plebian Henneryford, and left it
sitting there unmolested. Neighbors de-
clare that they saw three men leave
the Gilbert garage about four O'Clock
Sunday morning, and an incomplete de-
scription of the trio is in the hands OF
the police, who also have other clues
to assist them in running down the lat
ter. Thus far, however, no arrests
have been made.

WORSE
THAN BAR ROOMS
Sunday Afternoon Speaker Says
Bad Pictures Nullify Work
of School and Church

There is an evil \in your city to-day
more pernicious than the thirteen bar
rooms that used to exist here before
the days of prohibition; declared Col.
I. NJ. Meekins before, an audience of
several hundred men and women citizens
of Elizabeth City last Sunday. That
evil, said Col. Meekins is the moving
picture theatre. And Col. Meekins was
speaking from the stage of the Alkrama
Theatre, the one Movie house for white
people in the city. He was speaking on
the subject of education, under the aus
pices of the Housewives League.
The meeting Sunday afternoon was
staged in the interest of the proposed
| $5OO.OO0 bond issue for Elizabeth City
public schools and discussion of the NOV
| ing picture wasn't spn the program, but
| after the speaker had pointed out the
value of education and the city's need
for more school buildings and better
school equipment, he attempted to show
that the money might be wasted. if af-
ter giving the child the best public
school education that money could buy
we permitted that child to get a dis
torted vision of life from uncensored
picture shows night after night.
Col. NIeekins pronounced thet moving
picture the greatest educational influ-
ence of modern times but it had beer
his observation that it educated in the
wrong direction. He thought the pie
lures should be censored and that every
community should have Board of Cen
sors composed of broad minded citizen:
to pass upon the pictures shSwn in thai
community. He thought all the preach
ers in town should attend the picture:
every night for at least ten nights ane
then meet and compare notes. He saie
lot of preachers didn't know wha
the moving pictures were doing to un
dermine the morals of the community
because the preachers felt themselve
above going to the Movies.
His remarks were roundly applauded

NORFOLK WILL INSPECT

Eastern Carolina Farmers Should OBJ

ulations of That City

Northeastern North Carolina farmers
who rely upon Norfolk as the big mar
ket for their blessed pork should take
note of the fact that the Department of

meat The new order went in effect

Jarvis & Fentress, probably the lar
gest receivers of fresh pork in Nor
folk contend that meat slaughtered by

panied by the Federal Meat Inspection
Certificate will come under the head OF
government inspected meat and will
not be subject to further inspection.
But there will be close scrutiny OF
all meat. going into. Norfolk, never

''The State and City laws require that

! from territory outside of the City of
Norfolk, or about the City in bulk, or

means that all fresh meats shipped to
Norfolk must be wrapped with cloth or
good stout clean paper, and when trans:
ported from place to place in the City
! must be covered, and when on sale must
be covered or enclosed so as to protect
the meat as above outlined"
Jarvis & Fentress suggest that ship.
pers who use common burlap bagging il
wrapping their meat should first wraI
their meat in heavy wrapping paper. Il
is also suggested that shippers exer

tags on each package, one tag on the
outside and one on the inside of the
package. Tags are often torn off il

can not be identified unless there is
