mission has grown to recognition and
favor in the American Church. The
Right Reverend Bishop of Sioux City
and a large number of priests from
the Middle West were also present

Calvin, and in fervent appeal he
called on the Catholics of America to
devote their energies to a great
crusade for the conversion of the Chi
nese Republic. After the Mass the
Archbishop formally presented the
cross to each of the missionaries.
A luncheon followed, at which Arch
bishop Harty presided. In response to
the toast of the mission Father
Blowick, superior general of the mis-
sion, paid well-merited tribute to
the noble work already done by
American Catholic missionaries from
Techny, ILL.,, and Maryknoll, N. Y.

nouncement that as soon as professors
were available seminary for the
education of American young men for
the Chinese mission would be estab-
lished at Omaha.

PHARMACY GRADUATES
PLEA TO UPHOLD THEIR PROBES.
SION.

In an address before the graduating
class of the st. Louis College of Phar-
macy, Father William Agnew, S. j.,
of the University faculty, made a
stirring appeal to the graduates to be
faithful to the trust that the public
gave them in consequence Of their
graduation. This, he said, is most
necessary in these days when SO many
occasions are thrown before them to
of pecuniary gain, in aiding drug
fiends to secure drugs harmful to their
physical and moral welfare.

life informed by the spirit of Christ.
AS an example he instanced st. Paul,
a prisoner in bonds at Rome, whose
influence has outlasted the secular
might and majesty of the Caesars
empire. Such spiritual idealism is not
less needed today to accomplish results
of enduring value. 1t is only in the
name of Christ that men may achieve
the supreme conquest, self-mastery,
and to attain that the first essential is
reverence for the Name at which
every knee should bow of those that
are in heaven and on earth and under
the earth"
The Archbishop then conferred upon
the students the emblem of the Holy
Name Society, while the College choir
sang hymns suitable to the season and
the occasion. Solemn Benediction, at
which the Most Reverend Archbishop
officiated, brought the beautiful cere-
mony to fitting close.

SUES K. OF c.
JOSEPH FORTIER, A CANDIDATE,
STARTS LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST X. OF c. DEGREE TEAM
IN CANADA ON GROUNDS OF
FALSE IMPRISONMENT.

Fraternal orders that have a secret
ritual including limitations into vari-
Gus degrees, are anxiously awaiting
the outcome of legal proceedings
which were instituted last week by
Joseph Fortier, clerk in the Superior
Court Of Sainte-Scholastique, Quebec,
Canada, against ten members of the
Knights of Columbus on the grounds
of false Imprisonment. The plain
tiffs case is based on alleged gro
tesque and humiliating treatment
which he declares he suffered in the
course of a recent initiation ceremony
of the knights of Columbus at Saint
Jerome, Quebec.
The plaintiff has retained as coun
sci four well-known attorneys. While
M. Fortier's is the only action thus
far brought, it is intimated that other
suits would follow on the part o1
candidates who were initiated with
Fortier.
M. Fortier has refused to accede tc
request to submit the affair to g
tribunal of honor rather than to have
it aired in open court.
If Judge Cusson entertains the
plaintiffs action it will mean that any
candidate who is initiated into a secre
order or into high school fraternity
in Canada can bring his case into civi
| court. On the other hand, there il
| the likelihood of a ruling that mas
| much as the plaintiff voluntarily ap
piled for membership into the Knights
! of Columbus he consented to the con
| ditions of initiation, and that hence
there was no false Imprisonment.
However, even in the latter event
the Fortier incident will have al
awkward after-effect on the ritual o
| the knights of Columbus, at least il
| Canada. The information which tn
| plaintiff and other candidates divulge,
was so detailed and the publicity tina
their disclosures received in the Cana
dian press was so widespread, as t
have robbed the initiation ceremon
in question of all future effectiveness
and as to suggest the advisability c
it's virtual abandonment or thorough
going revision.

ST. JOAN OF ARC

wounded in the breast by an arrow.
She was evidently inspired by God
with special knowledge of warfare, for
she easily surpassed the generals of
the day, on both sides of the struggle,
in military science and ability.
King Is Crowned.
Joan followed up her success at Or
leans with a brilliant series of victo-
ries and completely routed the Eng
lish in every battle. On July II. 1929,
as the Maid had predicted, Charles VII
was solemnly crowned in Rheims, La
Pucelle standing beside him.
The principal aim of JOan'S mission
was now accomplished, and she desir-
ed to return home, but was detained
against her will to lead the army. The
King became Indifferent to the war,
and Joan received but little support.
Through the carelessness of her own
troops she was captured by John Of
Luxembourg, and was sold to the Eng
lish for $4,000
Tried for Heresy.
The English feared their prisoner
with a superstitious terror, and they
were ashamed of the dread which she
inspired. For these two reasons they
determined to have her put to death
as a witch and a hereto. A ready
tool was found in the person of Pierre
Cauchon, Bishop of Beauvais, an un-
scrupulous and ambitious man.
Joan of Arc was tried at Rouen on
February 21, 1881. She was not allow
ed lawyer to defend her. Although
accused in an ecclesiastical court, she
| was kept in q secular prison where
she was guarded by dissolute English
| soldiers. Joan bitterly complained Of
this but without avail.
During the trial Joan conducted her.
self with modesty and nobility. The
| trial ended on March II, and in sew
enty propositions she was accused Of
many Grimes" The malicious Cau-
| chon determined by all means to have
| this heroine burned at the stake.
Burned at the Stake.
| Finally, on May 81, 1431, Joan OF
| Arc was led forth to be burned. She
was allowed to make her confession
and receive Holy Communion, and she
! placed upon the wretched Cauchon the
responsibility for her death, solemnly
| appealing from him to Almighty God.
| Her demeanor at the stake was so
touching that it moved even her bit
ter enemies to tears. She asked for a
cross which she tenderly embraced.
AS she was bound to the stake and
the flames leaped up to devour their
human prey she continued to gaze
upon the cross and to call upon the
name of Jesus. With this sacred name
on her lips she gave her soul to God.
After her death her ashes were thrown
into the river Seine.
Twenty-four years later revision of
her trial was ordered at Paris and
many witnesses testified to her rare
virtues. An appellate court constitut-
ed by the Pope, after long inquiry and
| examination of witnesses, revised and
annulled the sentence pronounced by
| the miserable Cauchon's tribunal.
Joan of Arc, after performing mum
ber of miracles, was beatified by Pope
Plus x, April II, 1909. Her canoniza

Maid of Orleans.

Warfare Against
 Expensive Clothing
Denim For Men Matched by Ginghan and Calico For 'Women-Clothier Says it is "a Fool Idea" "

Tampa, Fla, April 1s-Whether the wearing of the overalls and calico in- stead of blue serges, native Palb beach, es, humspuns, voiles and other expen- sive clothing will bring down the high cost of dressing is an experiment first started here and now spreading through out the nation. The whole country now knows of it and has characterized it as the Tampa idea"
 Mayors of cities, judges; bankers, doc tors, lawyers, business men and others from Maine to California joined Over all Clubs and appeared in public in blue or khaki denim as d protest against the high cost of clothing. Many women joined the crusade by wearing gingham and calico gowns. Broadway and Fifth avenue, in New Tory city, have been invaded by wearers of denim and even staid United States senators have dis cussed the possibility of donning it. The new style movement, it's origina- tors say is dictated in the spirit of pub lie duty and necessity and does not in. dicate any lessening of desire on the part of either men or women for good and stylish apparel They think, how ever, that it is worth while to try to populariZe overalls for men and calico anC ginghams for women and it is no Sc cret that the feminine experimenters art | still looking for the return of silks, or gandies and the like to the limitation! of their purses. N
 So it came about that Hafford Jones secretary of an insurance company started the Overalls' club of Tampa Each member pledged to wear overan as a regular thing until clothing price tumbled. Hundreds have joined ant many are making good. Others say the. 1 are keeping the pledge just as faithful, l by taking advantage of the clause whicl allows them to wear old clothes in liel of overalls-just so they don't buy an new stuff.
