ORIGIN OF, CASTING A SHOE AFT.
Err A BRIDE.

AS seen from paintings on the walls
of Thebes, shoe-making formed dis
tinct trade in the reign Of Thotmes
III (about 1900 B. CO.. Reference is
made in Scripture to different SYM
bolical usages in connection with san
dals or shoes.
The delivery of shoe was used as
testimony in transferring a posses
sion. A man plucked off his shoe, and
gave it to his neighbor, and this was
testimony in Israel.
The throwing of a shoe on property
was symbol Of new ownership, as,
"Over Edom will I cast out my shoe. !"
From these ancient practices came
the old customs in England and Scot
land of throwing an old shoe after a
bride on her departure for new
home, symbolizing that the parents
gave UP all right or dominion over
their daughter.

Advocates Mental Examination of
Convicts.-Examinat of persons
sentenced to prison should be made by
competent alienists before they are
permanently confined, Father Michael
]. Murphy, chaplain of the state pris-
on at Charlestown, Mass, declared in
the course of a hearing before the
Legislative Committee on Public
Health, last week. This examination,
Father Murphy said, would determine
the mental condition and responsible
ty of those convicted of crimes.
There are many men crippled in mind
as we'll as those who are crippled in
body" Father Murphy said. II know
of many cases where prisoners have
been sent to Charlestown and remain
ed there until it was found they were
mentally unsound. This is unjust to
the prisoners of normal mentality
Father Murphy advocated the segrega-
ton of prisoners of Subnormal type
and the provision of special care for
them.

born in Vendome in 1912. Shortly
after his ordination he received an
appointment as chaplain in the French
Navy, and during the campaign of

in the Far East. In recognition of his
devotion to duty the Government ap-
pointed him an officer OF the Legion

OLD WORLD NEWS

Maps From vatican.-The director
of the Vatican Galleries has ordered a
Photographic reproduction to be made
of maps painted toward the end of the
sixteenth century in the palace of St.
Damascus. These have never before
been published Reproductions will
be officially presented to the next
geographic congress in Florence.
Lyons ParochiaI SchooIs.-The
Catholic Congress recently held at
Lyons, under the Craftsmanship of
Cardinal Maurin, reported that the
parochial schools of the diocese now
number FOL, and represent yearly ex-
penditure of 5 million francs for the
Diocesan Parochial School Associa-
ton. Another report showed that the
League for the Defense of Catholic
Rights" founded by Cardinal Maurin,
now has $4,000 members.
Paris Undress Craze.-An attack on
the growing immortality of the stage
and women's clothes in Paris was
made when the government an
nounced it will introduce a bill in
Parliament imposing severe penalties
on the ultra-risque. Senator Lamar
Selle pointed out to the cabinet that
the whole city is plastered with i'm
moral theatrical posters, and that the
dancing clubs are filled with half
dressed women.
A Disputed FiIm.-Pope Benedict
has never prohibited Catholics to
view the film, ''The Holy Bible" as
has been reported in the United
States. French newspapers published
statements about such prohibition,
but this was officially denied by
L'Osservatore Romano The film was
first submitted for ecclesiastical opin-
ion, which was favorable. Pictures,
published in American papers and
sent here, do not correspond with the
scenes in the film in question, they
refer to a film which it was alleged,
the Italian government had subsi-
died.
Catholics and SociaIists.-Notwith
standing the overthrow of the Secular
Socialists and the triumph of the
Christian Socialists in the elections
last October, the Catholics of Austria
find themselves in precarious condi-
ton. The Christian Socialists have
organized a government in which
there are several Catholics, but the
Secular Socialists remain the second
largest party in Parliament and ex-
ert a powerful influence. The Chris
tian Socialist government maintains
it's position only by cooperating with
the German Nationalist, who, how
ever, differ in many regards from the
Christian Socialists. The power of
Socialism among the working classes
is still very great. The army, for in
stance, is still under their control,
since they knew perfectly how to or
ganize the men by the socialistic sys-
tenn of soldiers councils. They con-
troll also the factories and have monop-
olized the administration in the polit-
ical center of Austro-Vienna.
