Trenton, N. J., April s.-Right Rev. Monsignor John H. Fox. vicar general of the Trenton diocese of New Jersey in an address at a corner stone laying today of the Blessed Sacrament church and school, rapped prohibition, declaring, it had been adoped through the activity of narrow-minded persons who would have more greately benefited the country at large is they had turned their atten- ton to checking the divorce evil in up- lifting the morals of the people,"
 Monsignor Fox said he fully recognized the evils of liquor and the tran of the nnaappiness it's abuse left. The way to overcome this, he asserted was not through legislation, but through religious training and the elevation of the people to a higher moral plane. He said he had witnessed more drunkennss and more evil under prohibition than when the use of liquor was regulated.
 He also opposed the teaching of eugen. ics in public schools, asserting taat the young mind was not fitted to properly deal with these subjects.

BIRDS SING. THE REQUIEM
 OF NATURALIST BURROUGHS

Roxbury, N Y, April 3.-The body of John Burroughs was laid to rest this af-, ternoon on the mountainside where he was born exactly S4 years ago. From the peaks and the valleys of his beloved Catskill mountains came hundreds of neighbors to pay him the final honors. Others from far-off corners of the nation joined them at the grave of the great naturalist.
 All morning long and in the early af- ternoon the slope down the two miles of rocky mountains to Roxbury was dotted with groups of villagers trudging upward to the burial spot.
 Back of the grave. which was blasted from solid rock, was the clump of woods where MT. Burroughs hunted the fox and observed the birds during his youth and old age. Near by the weather-blackened house in which he was born could be seen.
 In an opening in the woods few hum dred yards away was the house where Jay Gould, childhood playmate of Bur roughs and later great railroad man. was born. Beyond 1t, the schoolhouse where both men gained their first know ledge from books.
 Down the slope a few yards distant was "Woodchuck lodge" where MT. Bur- roughs occasionally became host to his close friends, Thomas A. Edison. Henry Ford and Harvey s. .Firestone. They stood beside the grave today and when the ceremony was ended paid visit to the sylvan lodge"
 i The burial service was simple. There were a few short prayers followed by tho recitation of poems. Some of the lines were dedicated to Mir. Burroughs and ont of the poems had been written on thu death of the naturalist by Edwin Mark l ham,
 There was no music, but in the sway ! ing trees birds were singing the requiem i of the man. who understood them.
