A Simnle Solution

The trouble with the U. S. A.
It's very plain to me,
Is wanting more than it should need,
All very unlike me.
My wants are modesto, plain and few,
Of fine simplicity.
I'd like to have house in town
With bedrooms only ten
A modesto country place, as well,
With golf links and a hen,
With simple milk from simple cows
And fat pigs in pen.
The car I'd choose would not be loud
Or overly ornate;
A limousine in blue and then
A quiet Rolls Royce Eight
A runabout for shopping trips
Or catching trains when late.
For yachts think just one would do,
Some sober thing in black,
About three hundred tons or so
That leaves a foanay track,
For little trips to Bimini
Or else to Spain and back
And with some dresses, just score;
Five velvet bathing suits,
Some riding clothes, three evening
coats
And pumps and shoes and boots;
Il think I'd be quite satisfied
And ask no substitutes.
In men, also, my tastes are mild
And suited to my means.
I'd have a few for dances and,
For contrast, one in jeans,
Three cultured ones for theatres.
And five for moonlight scenes.
And so I think that if, like me,
This country wanted less
And made itself be satisfied
With simple ways and dress,
Wed hear no more of strikes and
things
Or national restlessness.

FATHER M0AKLEY
CONDEMNS MORTAL SIN

Through a misunderstanding the i'm
preston has got out that because OF
the tragic death Of Sister Mary Theresa,
sister Of the Rev. John p. NJ. Walsh the
retreat at the Cathedral. under the aus
pices Of the Knights Of Columbus, had
been postponed until the arrival OF
Father Walsh in Wilmington on We'd
nesday evening. This Is erroneous. as
Father Moakley, who conducted the
womens retreat during last week. will
remain at the Cathedral and preach the
scheduled sermons until relieved by
Father Walsh.
Father Moakley took for his text last
evening, Know thou and see that IL is
an evil and a bitter thing for thee TO
have left thy God" In part, Father
Moakley said, "As my text will imply,
we will consider this evening the mean
est, the direst thing in Gods earth. The
one thing we try to hide. the thing we
don't want to talk about-sin.
"Sin is a deliberate violation OF Gods
law. Not the laws Of a city. State or
Nation, for that we leave to lawyers to
settle, but this evil is the wilful turn
ing Of man TO God and saying, 4 will,
or will not In defiance 10 His COM
mandments.
Mortal sin kills the soul; kills the
divine light Of the soul. Mortal sin in
principle kills God in us; breaks down
the authority Of God; brings Him down
from His high sovereignty. Dares to
insult God and dares to cast him
aside"
Father Moakley enumerated several
ways Of SHINING mortally, including that
which Is attracting worldwide atten-
tion-prolteering. Visionary loss of the
reasonable price is an injustice and
a crime against God and a cause Of
revolution. Some men in business
consider any price fair, but such a
principale or such a slogan is dishon-
est and unfair.
Father Moakley will speak this even
ing His text will be THE Destiny Of
Life"

pink hue.
AT one time during ihe> display, the
streamers seemed to radiate from a
point at the zenith, looking much like
woman's hair. At other times it
seemed as II some unseen Zeppelin

All during NE time Of the phenome-

milky aspect while between the bands
OF light gulfs Of darkness yawned, the

The most brilliant part Of last nights
aurora was IN the North and Northeast,
although the streams form the heavenly
light reached as far as the constellation
of Orion. south OF the stellar equa-
tor. The planet Jupiter was at one time
also involved in the nebulous streaks
Of light.
Telegraph instruments all over the
United States were greatly affected by
the auroral display, which Is usually
ihe case. In one case, a delay Of 20
minutes was experienced. after which
the wires began working again.
The telegraphh "tickers" in Wall
street felt the presence Of the aurora
early yesterday afternoon, and cleo
trical experts were able to predict last
nights aurora Electric lights "jazzed"

So powerful was the disturbance.
that owners Of fine watches noted that
their instruments had gained or lost

the influence OF the electrical currents

Many causes are adduced for the
aurora Bore3lis All scientists agree

however, seems to be from to 40 miles.
and even higher AS the limits Of the

auroras occur at higher intervals, al

trary opinion.
