FROM ROME AND LOUVA|N
GIFTS ARE BROUGHT TO CATH
OLlC UNIVERSITY BY x. c.
SECRETARY.

A sill1en white zucchetto, worn by
Pore Benedict, has been brought to
this country and received as Christ
mas token by Rev DR.. George
Dougherty, vice rector of the Catholic
University. The zucchetto was Sc
cured by Edward l.. Hearn, Commits
sioner Of the Knights of Columbus
work in France during a recent audi
ence which he had with the Pope, the
Holy Father presenting the skull-cap
Ito him.
Another odd gift was burned book
from the partly consumed library of
the University of Louvain, Belgium.
The book was sent by Prof. de Box
ker, one of the faculty of the war
ravaged university, and was salvaged
with other property from the debris,
1t is history of France of ancient
date. Prof de Booker presented it
to Rev. DR.. Patrick J. Healy, who was
one of his former pupils and is now
director of studies at the Catholic
University.
There has been very little left to
salvage from the wreck Of Louvain
and the gift for DR.. Healy is a pre-
cious one, because there is an un
broken rule that visitors must not
hunt for souvenirs amid the debris.

Brief Reviews and Notices

The Fifth Station: By Thomas F.
Coakley, d. D. Published by the
Catholic Truth Society, Pittsburgh,
Pa. Price, $1.00.
AS was to be expected, the recent
great war has proved a stimulus to
geniuses, near geniuses and ordinary
writer's. Without presuming to assign
the distinguished author of this work
to any particular class it may be said
that he is one of the best known
Catholic writer's in this country today.
AS an army chaplain, having seen six
teen months service at the front with
the American army, DR.. Coakley doubt
less has stored his mind with many
incidents and reflections that we may
expect to blossom forth from time to
time. This booklet describes graph
ically but with great simplicity the
soul struggle of a typical American
soldier. 1t is a rapid pen sketch of
the stuff that makes heroes and mar
tyrs. When you lay the book down
after the last page a strange lump
rises in your throat, and you declare
that Phil was a real hero, and you
incline to the belief that he was also
a martyr.

MGR. BURKE'S FUND
1T HAS REACHED $31,394.t9-
NEEDS OF PRIESTS ILL PRO-
ViDED FOR.

Mgr. Burke's ruby fund has reached
the comfortable sum of $31 ,394.19. 1t
should be great deal more than that.
While this large amount was given as
personal tribute to Mgr. Burke, he
has turned it all over to the Colored
Missions, in which he is SO deeply in
terested. Few people will miss a, dol
lar, but that the contributed dollar
will help wonderfully, may be seen
from the following figures:
The Catholic Board for Mission
Work among the Colored People pays
the salaries of 149 Sisters teaching
the colored children. 1t pays SIS per
month for living expenses" to ID
priests working on the missions. A
small sum, indeed, but it is all they
ask. The monthly payroll covering
these allowances is $3,240. 1t should
be three times that sum.
Since the organization of the board,
IL years ago, over 60 new missions
were established for the colored peo-
pie; over 5000 children were added to
the school roll. But there are 1,000,-
600 colored little ones who go to no
school, much less Catholic school,
Over 100000 of the 100000 Ne
groes in the United States, were never
baptized. A sad condition. indeed
And what of the unbaptized millions
of Whites in the southland? Has not

A STORY OF FR|CK

UTOR.

The publication of the late Henry
Clay Frick's will recently was the sub
ject of much general interest, the be-
queathing of five million dollars to a
Catholic hospital in Pittsburgh prob
ably causing surprise TO Catholics.
But some of the older Sisters of the
hospital were not much surprised, for
his connection with Mercy Hospital
dates far back.
Nearly score Of years ago the
late Mr.. Henry Clay Frick was walk

CARDINAL ANNETTE
URGES PARIS YOUTH TO WAR ON
IMMORAL FASHIONS AND
DANCES.

Cardinal Annette spoke recently re-
garding the indecent fashions and i'm
modest dances which are the vogue in
Paris. He recalls the recent words of
the Pope to Italian Catholic women:
states that society to combat such
fashions was formed in Paris last
spring; that he blesses it's efforts and
that Catholic leaders of society should
Danish such dances from their enter
tainments. He points out that the i'm
modest fashions extend even to chill
dren, and reminds mothers of their
duty in this regard, while he enjoins
on women and girls under pain of con-
science that they must not participate
in the dances with exotic names which
have invaded the bathrooms.
He calls on Christian young men,
who should be the first to recognize
these dances made more dangerous
by the immodest costumes worn in
which to perform them, to second the
efforts of Catholic hostesses to Danish
them from their bathrooms; and he ex-
horts especially those who, he says
with regret. actually combine the prac-
tice of immodest fashions with the fire.

JOBS FOR SERVICE MEN
$25O,0OO,OOo WORTH OF JOBS Sc
CURED BY THE KNIGHTS FOR
WAR VETERANS.

Approximately 1913 900 former sol
diers, sailors and marines were placed
in jobs throughout the country during
the year 1919 by the nationwide en-
ployment bureaus which the Knights
Of Columbus established Immediately
after the demobilization of the A. E..
F., and home troops commenced. The
work OF helping the veterans to get
back to jobs was carried on in all the
large cities where the Knights estab-
lished employment huts and solicited
jobs for the men.
The lowest amount of wages which
any one of the 10000 positions paid
was SIS per week with high aver
age of $40. The number of jobs Sc
cured shows weekly payroll expen-
diture of $25o,000,000. All sorts Of
novel schemes were introduced by
the Knights to find jobs for the men.
One Of them involved the canvass
ing Of employers by the soldiers them
selves. The men who went out to
talk with the business men were paid
four dollars per day and had the
privilege of accepting any good oppor-
tUnity which presented itself. In the
smaller towns and cities the work of
job-hunting was done by the local
councils of the Order.

employing discharged soldiers, max
ing room for 24,500 men within pc

every assistance possible to make
them useful citizens of this grand
country.
"The laws here are not as hard, to
obey as those they had to contend with
in their former countries, but the for
eigners must remember that the laws
of this country must be obeyed by
them, the same as our own people
have to obey them. They cannot tell
the authorities here how to run this
country. They are not dictators. They

Insurance to wipe off the debt.
The women Of Belgium are noted
for their homely virtues and their
spirit Of helping to keep the family
eXchequer in healthy state. They
are women of early marriages and
large families. And yet with all their
household duties they find time to
help the family operations out of
doors.
In line with it's policy of helping
the worker in every way, the gov
ernment has reduced the railroad
fares for their benefit to the lowest
possible mark consistent with profit

journey of 20 miles costs 37b cents a
week; double daily journey of A

Love of Monuments.
Belgium is pre-eminently a land of
civic monuments. 1t always has had
great architects and builders who
spent talent and money with equal
lavishness upon churches, market
halls and city halls. The land is, or
was dotted with them, and they eX,
cited the admiration Of every traveller
with an eye for beauty. 1t is land
Of steeples and chimes. The two larg.
est chimes in the world are found in
Belgium, one in Mechlin, and the other
in Bruges. When played by experts,
their sweet tones, falling from the
skies, are heard for miles over the
countryside, and listened to with rapt
attention.
Belgium is in ruins but has started
rebuilding it's homes with new vigor
and energy. The indomftable courage
of it's inhabitants, who were over
whelmed but never conquered, will
soon bring back order out of chaos
and prosperity out of poverty. The
people are not only energetic and
thrifty; they have a living faith in a
just and bountiful Providence. :.

Why do we bury our dead with head
facing the west? Is it right to bury
them with the head towards the
Church?
With regard to the burial of Cath
olic the present rule of the Church di-
rects that, when the corpse is brought
into the church, the body of layman
is placed with the feet towards the
altar, that Of a priest, with the head
towards the altar. The medieval Gus
tom was that the body of Christian,
whether priest or layman, should be
placed in the grave with the feet
towards the East. Bishop Hildebert of
the twelfth century alludes to this,
and adds the reason, for thus a man
prays as it We're by his very position,
and suggests that he is ready to hast
en- from the West to the East" There
is no positive obligation to observe this
rule, which is merely a custom.
Should a Catholic ask the priest in
confession permission to get married.
Is it necessary 10 mention the name

required to mention the name of the
other party. At the same time when
q person goes to confession, just be-

should speak to her confessor, and

May a person receive Holy commun-
