GERMAN SCHOOLS SAFE
GOVERNMENT CANNOT BAR RE-

(By N. C. w. G. News Service.)
The government of Saxony, at the
instance of the Socialist party, recon-
mended to the national government
that religious instruction be excluded
from all public schools. The follow
ing is the reply received from the
Minister of the Interior:
'The elimination Of religious in
struction in the public schools can be
achieved only by an amendment to the
Constitution. 1t would be necessary
for me to submit such motion to the
National Government. In the present
state of affairs such a motion would
t.ettse.ss1 sssss rejected j Nsithss NenaE
the bill have any chance Of accept
ance by the Reichsfat or the Reich
stag, whose decisions are governed by
the provisions of article 76 of the
National Constitution. In view of
these considerations, am no. in a
position to recommend the proposal
and will refrain from submitting my
own stand for the decision of the
Saxon Landtag."

THE ROMAN QUESTION
VATICAN-QUIRINAL REcoNclLIA-
TloN Is URGED BY SOCIALIST
APPLAUDEp BY DEPUTIES.
(By N. c. W. c. News service)

Wy Az W W. We AN0"o SSA vASOJ
Professor Mussolini's statement in
the Chamber of Deputies that the rec
onciliation of the Vatican and the
Quirinal is "opportune, logical and in
evitable," has continued to be discuss
ed with more sympathy and approval
only little while ago to win from the
press and the political leaders. Prof.
Mussolini is Socialist.
1t is the first time that the subject
has received discussion in the Chamber
with such clear understanding Of
the large and influential part which
the Papacy has taken in the affairs of
the world and of the benefit which the
Church's moral power has been to
Italy. The newspapers even of "neu-
trail" and anti-clericai dispositions
either have hailed Professor Musso-
lini's proposal with commendation or
at worst have treated it with mild dis
sent.
Professor Mussolini affirmed that
the reconciliation of the Church and
the State is not only opportune, but
historically and essentially logical and
Inevitable.
"The development of Catholicism
throughout the world" he said, 20
bliges hundreds of millions of persons
to keep their eyes fixed on Rome as
the center of the Universe. This is a
great moral force for Italy"
This declaration of fact that most
Italian statesmen realize, whether or
not they proclaim it, brought unani-
nous applause in the Chamber.
ITALY, as far as the political status
of Palestine is concerned" continued
Professor Mussolini, "has but two
courses to follow-that of English pol
icy and that outlined by Pope Benedict
in his recent consistorial allocution. As
for me, l do not hesitate to declare that
Italy should follow the course outlined
by the Pope"
The applause which greeted these
plain statements was only one sign
that Professor Mussolini has made a
profound impression on Italy.

A JESUIT ON FASHIONS

It is the duty of parents to repress
any attempts at indecent dressing on
the part of their daughters, Father
Scott explains in the following words
Il can understand how flighty girl
may indulge in such license of dress
through vanity and ignorance of its
sinful effects; but how Christian
mother will tolerate it in her daughter
is incomprehensible. Mothers have
had experience with the pitfalls of
life. They know that with ever. pre-.
caution there is nevertheless constant
danger for their daughter. Yet they
allow those dear to them to risk their
worldly happiness and their immortal
souls for the sake of fashion"
Referring to the excuse that the
girls must buy what the stores offer,
Father Scott declares that if the Cath
olic women and girls demand modest
fashions, the merchants will see that
they are supplied, in most instances
and that even in cases where the
modest girl will find means to make a
modest alteration.
Dress Well But Decent.
"a girl of brains and taste does no,
have to depend upon improperly to
make herself charming" he says
There is an instinct in you which
tells you when you overstep. I have
known women who pretended thai
their extreme style was perfectly
proper, but on the approach of really
proper person they hastily covered
themselves with a shawl or wrap"
"a girl should dress WELL" Father
Scott declares. mo man can have
any respect for girl who does no
know how to dress. Charm Of persol
is one Of Gods gifts to women. Tha
charm Of person shown at the expens'
Of decent dressing detracts from wo
men in the estimation Of an honorabl,
man. And girl should not court tn,
esteem of any but ths honorable"

lMMopEsT DRESS OF WOMEN
LEADS TO MORAL SUICIDE
FATHER MARTIN SCOTT, JESUIT
AUTHOR, CONDEMNS INDECENT
FASHIONS-CAUSE OF LAX
MARRIAGE.

The woman who attracts attention
or admiration at the cost of modesty,
is committing moral suicide. declared
Father Martin Scott, S. j., the we'll
known author, in recent article on
Women and Dress"
God put the instinct of attractive
ness in women in order to induce hon.
est love and marriage" he writes.
The way some women dress now
induces only dishonorable love. In
fact it is wrong to call it love at all.
It lis just passion, sex passion, and i'm
plies no esteem, no honest purpose, no
idea whatever of true affection"
Father Scott quotes DR.. Foveau de
Courmelles, a well-known European
physician, as blaming the feminine
craze for indecent dress for some of
the worst evils confronting modern
civilized nations. DR.. Courmelles
says:
"Woman's clothing has reduced it.
self to the most simple expression by
it's scantiness. She is dressed in these
days when she Is undressed."
Passion Bad Substitute For Love.
Women as rule are not aware OF
the effect which an improper display
of their person has upon a man,
Father Scott says, deploring the fact
that many unfortunate marriages are
based upon merely sensual attraction
Nothing fades so fast as the attrac
ton founded on animal passion" he
says. THAT Is one reason why there
are so many regrettable marriages.
now. The scandalous dress of some
women exposes them to lustful eyes
generates false love and lays the
foundation Of lifelong misery"
Paganism in modern thought ant
customs is blamed for the prevalence
of indecent modes of dress. "Tht
Catholic Church" says Father Scott
realizing the vital necessity Of safe
guarding virtue, has always taken I
firm Stand against lascivious dress
But with the spread OF irrehgiol

Mexico indicate that conditions there
are most unsettled. An armed band
is reported to be roaming around Yuca-
tan, terrorizing the Inhabitants. Re
ports from Chiapas, Campeche and

been several clashes recently. In one
instance the radicals invaded Catho-
lie Church, dragged out the priest and
