Denver, Colo.-One of the strangest
cases Of self-imposed starvation on
local record eliminated in the death.

1t the County hospital.
Severns had eaten only liquid foods,
and very little of them, since last
Thanksgiving. For nearly six months
he steadily refused solid foods, and
even the liquids had to be admins
tered to him almost by main force. At
the time Of his death he weighed a
scant so pounds, although normally
his weight was about 1885, according to
his wife, Mrs. Ruth Severns.
Refuses to Eat.
Insanity was the cause of Severns'
refusal to eat. He was taken to tho
County hospital April 90 At an inqui-
sition Mrs. Severns testified that her
husband had been acting queerly and
that she had been afraid Of him for
months. The lunacy commission found
him insane, and he was committed to
the hospital by Judge Ira G. Rothger-
Der until he should be in condition to
move to the state insane asylum at
Pueblo.
But the patient would not eat. The
most appetizing dishes failed to tempt
him. Occasionally he was induced to
drink few swallows Of milk, but not
enough TO sustain life. For weeks he
lived literally upon his bodily tissues,
steadily wasting away until he was

into his head and his bones protruding
sharply. His skin had become the

In Washington during the World
War, in order to accommodate the
great number Of Catholics who be-
came residents of the national capital,
Masses were held as late as 1920,
and in some parishes it was impos-

In this crisis, permission was given

THE MOTHER OF A BOY.

Says a popular magazine: 1.-THE
people of a boys neighborhood are
the first to learn that he is worthless.
A little later his sisters find it out.
Eventually his father discovers it. But
his mother never does"
Exactly; the boys mother never
finds it out because she unerringly
recognizes his innate goodness beneath
the outer worthlessness. She never
finds out that he is worthless precisely
because he never is. There is not such
thing as worthless boy. The diff
ference between boys is not in kind,
but in degree; all are of worth, some
more than others. And the most beau
tiful love in all the world is the love
of mother for worthless" boy.

CATHOLIC WHITE LIST PLAYS.

The following new plays have been
placed on the white List" by the
Catholic Theater Movement, says a
New York City Dispatch. Abraham
Lincoln" adam and Eve," "Buddies,"
Clarence" Ellis Honor Abe Potash"
"Mama's Affair."" "The Purple Mask"
and "Shavings."
The success of abraham Lincoln"
is very significant, proving that a play
of this character is most opportune.
From dramatic standpoint the au-
thor. John Drinkwater, has written a
strong, appealing play, which is admir-
ably presented. The theater is maxi
ing amends for it's many sins when
it presents such play.
Adam and Eve" a delightful COM
edy Of high moral tone, is free from
everything salacious and is highly rec.
commended.
"Buddies," a delightful comedy by
Geo. V. Hobart, is clean and appeal
ing.
Clarence" by Booth Harrington, is
wholesome and amusing fantasy,
clean and wholesome.
"His Honor, Abe Potash" is very
amusing comedy, absolutely clean and
free from any Objectionable feature.
"Mama's Affair" is clean, bright
May and December affair, worthy Of
commendation.
THE Purple Mask" a Napoleonic
melodrama, is a real delight, clean
and highly entertaining.
"Shavings" is homely story, and,
while artificial in spots, is bright and
clean. For that reason, if for no
other, it is commended.

Why ENGLAND HOLDS ON.

The two real reasons why England
does not want to release her hold on
Ireland are: First, because she wants
to continue to make Ireland a COM
mercial monopoly, debating the prices
at which she buys and sells in Ire
land. Second, to make Ireland point
of attack on ships passing those
shores in time of need. II you can
get American goods to Ireland they
will be there on more than equal terms
with British goods, because the Irish
do not want British goods and are
in sympathy with America.-President
