ERAGE AMERICAN.

Rev. DR.. Edward Yates Hill, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church
Philadelphia, told the Presbyterian
Ministerial Association that morals
and religion" occupy third place in
the life of the average American.
Speaking in Westminster Hall, DR.
Hill ranked the American conception
of the big things of life in the follow
ing order:
First. Markets and money.
Second. Pleasure and enjoyment.
Third. Morals and religion.
However, DR.. Hill saw brighter
things ahead. -t..-
There is an uprising everywhere

Efforts of the Protestant Federation
of Australia to embarrass Archbishop

K. OF c. ARE CRUSADING FOR
AMERICAN HISTORY WILL
PUBLISH SERIES OF PAM
PHLETS ON SUBJECTS OFTEN
OVERLOOKED IN HISTORIES.

If Thomas A. Edison had confined
his test questions to American His
tory, it is probable he would have
found a smaller percentage of correct
answers from university graduates
than he did to his list of mixed scien-
tific, chemical, geographical; and his
torical queries. The reason fer this
is that American history is not suffi-
ciently studied by Americans, writes
John B. Kennedy.
The knights of Columbus national
officers met in Chicago last Sunday
to launch another national K, of C.
movement, movement that has been
characterized as one "to make Amer.
lean history safe for Americans. y
This does not necessarily mean the
launching of a propaganda against
propaganda, because, although many
so-called American histories have been
written with a distinct bias on the
part of their authors, the principal
defect of most imperfect histories is
not so much what they contain as
what they omit.
For instance, Benjamin Franklin is
known to most Americans as an oracle
of private economics, as printer OF
repute, and as genial .materialistic
philosopher whose industry and wit
left their mark on the men of his time
and contributed much to the begin
nings of American culture. How
many Americans are familiar with the
much more important contribution o
Benjamin Franklin to his country's
welfare-his work as a statesman, as
an ambassador in a time of difficul1
transatlantic communications, whe1
an ambassador had a truly important
part to play in the destiny OF hi:
country?
How many Americans know the
truly great service that Beaumarchai!
of France rendered the Colonies dur
ing the War of the Revolution? La
fayette is deservedly glorlficd il
American history, but Beaumarchais
gave no less of his time and talents t.
the furthering of the cause of Amer
icane freedom.
These and other subjects bearint
on critical periods in American histor.

Investigations by the Pontifcal Com
mission appointed to examine the Holy
House of Loreto, which was damaged
by fire last February, have verified
the tradition that the sacred edifice
stands upon the ground, without foun-
dations to support it, and affirms its
own veneration for the miracle. A
report of these findings has been sub
mitted to the Holy Father, who is
deeply impressed, writes Mgr. Pucci.
Commissions Report.
The verbal process which attests
the Commissions research, dated
April 81, is as follows:
Being today in Loreto, the Ponti-
fical Commission expressly sent by
the Holy Father to ascertain the work
of restoration in the Holy Pontifical
Chapel, after the damage suffered in
the fire which occurred on the night
of February 1928, last, has assembled
again in the afternoon under our
ministrator. In this meeting was dis
cussed Glso the project of renovating
the pavement of the Holy Chapel.
In order to verify the nature of
the undersoil, and ascertain the pos
sible existence of a lower and primi-
tive pavement, it was directed that
there be made test along the west
wall and exactly in the corner placed
at Cornu evangelii, corresponding to
the Annunciation Altar. The open
ing was made by the supervising
mason, Alessandro Cingolani, to a
depth of 81 centimeters. The Com,
mission went over the place and could
ascertain that on that spot no pave,
ment is to be found under the upper
and permanent one; that the walls OF
Holy House, in confederation of the
venerated Lauretan tradition, have nc
foundation whatever, but rest on the
ground.
"The Commission has had the oppor.
tunity of examining, both religiously
and technically, this prodigy already
known to believers, and to affirm again
it's own veneration for the great mir
acle." d.
In addition to the signatures of the
members of the Commission, this
document bears also the signatures ot
the Bishop of Loreto, Monsignor An
dreoli; the Royal Administrator, Gae
tano Falconi; the architect of thu
Sanctuary, Guido CiriIli; Canon Sor
bellini, representing the Chapter; ant
Father Borromei, guardian of the Hol.
House.

PRAY FOR ERIN
MISS MACSWINEY ASKS PRAYERS
OF AMERICAN CHILDREN.

Miss Mary MacSwiney, sister of Ter
ence MacSwiney, late Mayor of Cork,
who is in Washington this week, has
issued an appeal to the children of
the whole world to offer their prayers
and Holy Communions during June,
the month of the Sacred Heart, for
the independence ! of Ireland, for
which her brother died.
Ireland many years ago was dedi-
Gated to the Sacred Heart, and the
month of June, which is set apart for
that devotion, is suitable time for
prayers for that intention, Miss Mac.
Swiney points out
In asking children to pray for the
success of the Irish peoples struggle
for independence, Miss MacSwiney re-
calls the similar request of Marshal
Foch during the world war. He urged
all children to pray for victory fo1
France.

AMBASSADOR TO VATICAN
JoNNART FINALLY ACCEPTS
POST TO ROME.

Senator Jonnart has been formally
appointed French Ambassador to the
court of the Vatican. The decree of
appointment was signed by Premier
BRAND, thus putting an end, by gov
ernmental order, to the deadlock,
which had resulted from the failure
of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Affairs, to reach an agreement.
The new ambassador, who had pre-
yiously refused appointment, reconsid-
cred and changed his decision when
urged to do so by President Millcrand
and Premier BRAND.
Ambassador Jonnart left Paris for
Rome May 26.
Mgr. Cerretti, Papal Nuncio to
France, is expected to arrive in Paris
about the latter part of June.

WOMEN IN POLITICS
To Use Influence by Taking
Part in Primaries

Will women actually have any
power in politics is still matter of
discussion. If the resolution passed
at the recent convention at Lewes is
carried out, the question will be seri-
ously and happily decided. Power in
Citizenship is shown at the Primar-
ies-not at the election. The report
of the resolution passed follows:
At the forty-second annual conven-
ton of the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union held in Lewes, October
5, 6 and Z, resolution was adopted
to the effect
"That we will avail ourselves of the
channels hitherto closed to US to Sc
cure men of high moral character, for
such positions" And,
"That we will participate in the
primary elections for the selection of
delegates to state conventions, as
we'll as in the selection of candidates
for the State Legislature and all local
Offices"
