Most of the unkind, unjust, brutal
and wicked deeds which pierce the
hearts of men and WOMEN and little
children and fill the world with grief
and fear are done by those who think
they are doing the usual and proper
thing.
Even when men do things for their
own advantage, when they have only
their selfish interests in view, they
often think that they are doing just
what others do or would do underS
the same conditions. It does not oc-
cur to them to do likewise.
Men have to live, SO they say, and
then proceed to get their living by
methods in common use, no matter
if other people are robbed that their
living may be richer-P ittshurg

page editorial of a recent issue of

Episcopal Church for this section of

The observations apply particularly
to church folks, though, of course the

Pope is Filmed For First
Time in Worlds History

ROME. Aug. 2O-For the first time
in history a Pope has posed for the
motion picture camera. Not only was
permission granted for the. filming of
scenes in LourdeS chapel grounds, but
Pope Benedict today took a leading
part, posing first with various groups
and then for "closeups' and express
ing much amusement at the persist
encc of the American photogra pliers,
who went within four feet OF the
pontiff and snapped his smiling into
the camera.
This occurred after the Pope had
celebrated mass for the visiting Amer
lean knights Of Columbus in the open
vatican gardens and had given holy
communion personally to each knight.
Complete Pictures of Vatican
Vatican officials were amazed that
the Pope appeared in these scenes for
about 20 minutes. which proved the
most complete pictures ever taken OF
| Vatican ceremonies.
The Pope seized Supreme Knight
F1aherty by both hands, blessing the
knights and America He welcomed
the visitors in a short address, which
was translated by Archbishop Ger
retti, formerly of the papal elegation
at Washington. The Pope drank a
cup of coffee with the knights after
celebrating mass, and after he had
posed for the pictures drove through
the gardens, thanked by knights to the
Vatican.
When the Vatican officials objected
to the Pope being photographed he
said: Let the Americans have what
they want"

But undoubtedly the most mysteri-
Gus, as well as the most sinister, of all
plants is the mandrake, ow-growing
plant with large leaves, and bearing a
fruit something like an apple.
The mandrake has always been asso
ciated with madness and evil. To pull
q mandrake out of the ground was at
one time held to be certain death, and
to all who heard its shrieks as it was
torn from the earth came madness.
The root of this plant is in shape
something like human form, and
makes q strange kind Of screeching
sound when pulled out of the ground.
In Italy the society ladies paid high
prices for mandrake roots, because
the possession of such was thought to
insure offspring to child!ess women.
This superstition probably arose from
the references to the mandrake in
Genesis 30:14: And Reuben went
in the day of wheat harvest, and found
mandrakes in the field, and brought
them unto his mother. Leah. Chen
Rachel said to Leah. Give me, pray
thee, of thy sons mandrakes.'
