men, extending down to the pres
ent day, comprises many Of the
and most prolific minds
to be found in the intellectual life
of these centuries.
Since Catholic teaching reaches
out and embraces all the mental
and natural sciences, it was but
natural that the Dominicans should
enter these fields. With trained
specialists in every branch Of hui
man learning, they achieved the
highest distinction not only in the
sacred sciences but in all those
spheres wherein art, history and
human lore of all kinds held sway.
Painting and architecture espe-
cially owe a profound debt to the
Dominican genius which has left
some of the worlds masterpieces
as proof Of their attainment.
The duty Of preaching has car
ried the Dominicans into the great
mission fields Of the world. The
blood of their martyrs stains many
a foreign land, while the triumphs
of their zeal are legion. Saints in
large number from the ranks of
st. Dominic have been canonized
or beatified; st. Plus V, the last
Pope to receive the honors of
canonization, being among them.
Today, the order Of st. Dominic
is a power in the Church of God.

THE NINE THOUSAND AND
THE NINE.

DIR. Coakley, of Pittsburgh,
makes the following appropriate
comment: "Last year 5000 Cath
Ollie persons died in the diocese OF
Pittsburgh. Out Of the 5000 it is
doubtful if nine of them left any
thing at all to any charity in their
wills. Suppose each of these
5000 had left the De Paul Insti.
tute the paltry sum of 800! Sure
ly this is not much after a lifetime
Of savings, with death, Judgment,
heaven and hell staring us in the
face. The result would have
been 100000"
Now, here precisely is a point
upon which this column has often
contained reminders. Tt. seems
that our Catholic people r will
ing enough to contribute their
share of support towards the
Church during their lifetime.
They seem to forget that the
Church militant, suffering and
triumphant form but one whole.
Wherefore, when they are sum-
moned hence they are satisfied to
sever all relations with the world
below. At the same time they are
not averse to receiving the suf-
frages Of their friends and rela-
tives on earth.
This is an entirely mistaken
view. Catholics are ready to adj
NIT that the material blessings Of
life come from the hand of God.
Why, then, will they refuse to
give back to God a small part of
His largess? They r not asked
to bequeath their all to religion 4;
but the Church surely has a right
to expect that her continued min
istrations in life deserve, not a ma
terial reward, indeed, but a form
of recognition that will enable her
to extend her benign care to 9TH
ers in need. A man in his will
does not forget those who were
bound to him by ties Of blood: are
the ties Of grace and the sacra-
ments less strong?
The few dollars contributed by
each Catholic each year assist the
Church to carry on her work in
his parish. If he but gave the
matter a moment s thought, would
he begrudge a few more dollars
after his death in order that the
Church might enlarge her efforts
for the poor, the suffering, the
unfortunate, as we'll as for the
spread Of the kingdom Of God it.
self? The laborers in the Vine
yard are willing: they lack but
the means. This is the cry from
almost every parish and diocese
as well as from every foreign mis-.
sion. A hundred dollars or so.
left in each will, would prove a
blessing Of great value to the
varied works of religion. In any
case, that small sum, however di.
verted on earth, will not assist the
departed one iota. If turned into
the treasury of religion it will add
considerably to ones merit in the
life to come.
Think it over before Death
overtakes you.

TARIFF BILL GOES TO SENATE
Committee Hopes to Have Bill
Taken Up Soon.

Washington.-The emergency tariff
bill designed for the relief of the far
mers and to check dumping of foreign
goods, was ordered favorably reported
by the senate finance committee.
The measure approved by the SEN
ate committee differs radically from
that passed by the house, antidump-
ing and currency valuations provisions
having been sharply revised, although
tariff provisions were not changed. A
provision to continue government con-
troll of dye importations through the
treasury department was added by the
senate committee.
A new feature of the measure is
provision prohibiting foreign exporters
from shipping into American markets
in event Of their refusal to permit ex.
animation of their books by American
agents to determine costs and sales
prices.
Chairman Penrose of the committee
said he hoped to have the senate take
up the bill soon. After passage by the
senate, the measure must go to confer
ence for adjustment of differences be.
tween the senate and house.

COTTON SURPLUS
CAUSE OF WORRY
GOV. HARDING'S STATEMENT RE-
VEALS DIRE NEED FOR
REDUCTION.
WILL SURVEY SOUTHWEST
Crux of Farmers Problems Declared
to Be the Foreign Situation
Resumption of Building
Advocated.

hington.-GOvefnor Harding OF
the federal reserve board announced
that he would begin a personal survey
of the farm credit situation in the
middle west and southwest.
Reports to the board, Mr.. Harding
said, indicate that next years Ameri-
can cotton crop would be within rs
per cent of this years totals, although
at the end of the present cotton year
on July l there will probably be a
surplus of 100000 bales, or nearly a
worlds supply under present condi-
tons.
In the face of this situation, he
added, bankers naturally are cautious
IA increasing their loans ON farm pa
per. He expressed the belief, how
ever, that there would be sufficient
advances to care for the immediate
needs of the farmers in planting their
crops.
The board, the governor said, had
thought it advisable he make a tour
Of the farming area to learn the prob
lens of the country bankers and trade
organizations.
The crux of the farmers problem,
in the view of Mr.. Harding, is the
foreign situation. The farmers, he
said, must have a market for their
commodities, as they cannot go on
indefinitely on credit without selling
their crops. He thought the reduc-
ton of the rediscount rate by the
Bank of England might aid American
farmers by making possible a more
liberal market for grain and cotton,
not only in Great Britain, but other
European countries.
Inequalities in price readjustment
as between the wholesalers and re-
tailers and the transportation situa-
ton also were described by Mr.. Hard
ing as contributing causes to the
present agricultural situation. Ces-
sation Of building also has been felt
and it was the governors view that
a resumption of building would re.
suit in general easing Of expenses,
including high rents, which would
react to the benefit of the farmers.
The federal reserve board, Gov.
Harding said, has no supecific plan for
relief of the farmers. He explained
that the reserve banks could not make
direct loans to farmers, but could only
rediscount the loans of member banks.
The governor said he would first
visit Chicago, which is the reserve
system center for the important farm
lands of Illinois, Indiana and Iowa,
and then Cleveland. Returning here
for the advisory council meeting of
the board, he will then proceed to
Topeka, Kansas City, Oklahoma City,
Nashville and other localities.

MUST GET BACK TO WORK
Hope of the World Rests With the
Hard Working Americans, Says
V.-President Coolidge.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-The greatest hope
of a stricken world lies in the sturdy,
hard-working, home-loving American"
Vice President Coolidge declared here,
in an address at the founders celeba-
ton at Carnegie institute. He eulog-
lied the late Andrew Carnegie, who
established the institute, as a man
who represented American ideals"
"The whole nation" asserted Mr..
Coolidge, "the whole world, following
out his plan, can advance the cause of
civilization. Under it there has been
wider and wider distribution OF
property, a higher and higher stand
ard of education, deeper and deeper
appreciation of the obligation of self
sacrificing example"
1.-The question Of human welfare"
he added, lis not an economic ques-
ton. 1t is a moral question. There
is no difficulty with the present adj
vance of scientific knowledge in pro-
viding for the welfare of the race.
The ability is not lacking even if no
further advance were made in dis
covery and invention. The material
and intellectual forces are sufficient;
the present efficiency is not there. 1t
is the disposition-the moral force is
the disposition the moral force
that is lacking. Men are not doing
as well as they can with what they
have. Our civilization perishes unless
the great powers it has developed are
directed by a greater moral force"
The philanthropic, declared Mr..
Coolidge, put his trust not in force,
but IN reason.
"The ideal is right" he said. What
our country needs is the moral power
to hold it.
"There are readjustments to be
achieved There are sacrifices to be
made. They cannot be evaded. They
cannot be made vicariously. They
must be made by all the people. 1t
is no time for dickering. We must
go back to work in accordance with
the best standard that the public can
maintain, but we must go back to
work
THAT done, the rest will take care
of itself. Beneath the tumult is the
haIl, working, home-loving American.
He has decided to cast his lot where
Carnegie cast his. In that decision
lies the greatest hope Of stricken
world "

MIDGET Babies often Thrive.

Parents whose children are abnor-
for recent figures show that tiny in
fants frequently grow up quite robust,
and of normal proportions. Accord
ing to the observations of an English
doctor, a girl baby born Is years ago,
to a Mrs. Warwick of Barrow-in-Fur-
ness, for instance. weighed only one
and three-qarter pounds. She now
turns the scale at $50 pounds, and is
an exceptionally healthy and intelli-
gent child.
Even more remarkable is the case
Of Leonard Merrick, who stands over
6 feet high and weighs $50 pounds, all
Drawn and muscle and sinew. At his
birth, % years ago, he weighed only
Is ounces, his head was not much big
ger than a billiard ball, the, mouth
was only just about the size of the
end of a pencil, and the mothers we'd
ding ring would slip easily up the arm
as high as the shoulder.
A baby exhibited at one of the meet
ings Of the British Obstetrical society
weighed only 20 ounces and the Medi-
cal Times once announced the birth Of
one that turned the scale at exactly
one pound. Both these grew up strong
and healthy, and of normal proper
lions. In short, small infant seems
likely to do as well as a big one, al
ways provided. of course, that it sur
wives the perils Of babyhood.

NEWS Goes FAST
Drum-Beat in Africa Has Tela-
graphic Speed.
Marvellous System of Signaling Has
Long Been One of the Wonders
of the World.

News is carried by drum-5eat In
Africa at rate as fast as the tele-
graph, writes A. S. Crawley in the
London Daily Mail.
THE natives of Central Africa have
a wonderful system of signaling from
village to village by drum-beat," he
says.
' Generally the property of the chief,
these official drums, which are many,
forming a set of varying size, are as
a rule of the species known as incl
sioudrum. This is a long, narrow,
hollow cylinder made from a tree
trunk, with the ends closed.
"The drum is placed in either a
horizontal or vertical position, the for
mer producing the best results. Big
drums carry more than ten miles.
by relay a message may travel
1000 miles in little more than the
velocity of sound.
The drum-telephOne depends upon
an elaborate code of sounds. Eu-
ropean travellers often order their din
ner and nights lodging at the next
village by a drum message. The vii
layers use it as we use a postal, tele-
graph and telephone service-and
there are no charges.
For the home service the drum
plays the part also of the church bell,
the clock, the town crier and'the daily
newspaper. For instance Rev. James
RoSooo u-hoSa A fr;oon odvaDturac opd
discoveries have recently been report
ed, notes that it announced a birth
or a death, the new moon and the week
ly fast day.
ITO help understanding Of the mar
velous code, as complete as a lam
guage, the remarks of Sir Arthur B.
Ellis (writing of West Africa) are in
point:
ITO a European the rhythm Of q
drum expresses nothing beyond a re-
petition of the same note at different
intervals of time, but to a native it
expresses much more. To him the
drum can and does speak, the sounds
produced from it forming words and
the whole measure Of rhythm a sense
"Thus. at a dance of companies in
one measure they abuse the men Of
another company :. then the rhythm
changes and the gallant deeds of their
own company are extolled. AL this,
and much more, is conveyed by the
beating of drums, and the native ear,
trained to detect and interpret each
beat, is never at fault"
