THE PlERCES
Lyceum's Famous ntertainers

Much interest is centered about
Edward Avis because of his reputa-
ton as the greatest living bird mimic.
He is one of the finest entertainers
before the public and his part of the
program Thirty Minutes in Birdland"
will prove one of the most fascinating
and instructive acts Augusta has ever
seen.
Another feature that is different"
will be the appearance of Daddy
Grobecker's famous company of
Swiss Yodlers. The Yodlers are
one happy family-Daddy, his two
daughters, his son-in-law, and the
champion yodler of all Switzerland
They have been together for years
ana offer a program intensely inter-
esting and instructive.
The Pierces, lyceup's leading dra
matte entertainers, are today among
the most notable of the established
platform successes. They have for
more than fifteen years pleased most
discriminating audiences with their
plays and sketches. Humor, pathos,
drama and music are beautifully
blended into an irresistible program
by these unusual entertainers.

William Cote, George Z. Fletcher and
Atwood B. MARI have also been
talked Of for the berth.
The Office of city auditor is little
discussed, and as yet few names
have been mentioned as possibilities.
There is to be one vacancy on the
board Of assessors, and rumor per-

honor.
Both the present oyerseer Of the
poor and the city engineer have one
more term to serve in their present
capacity, and no aspirants for these
positions have as yet appeared upon
the horizon.

CALENDAR TO REMAIN
PLAN TO CHANGE DATE OF EAST
Err is NOT APPROVED.

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
British delegates who have return
ed to London from the recent con-
gress, in Rome, of the International
Astronomical Union, when the assem-
bled astronomers were received in spe-
cial audience by the Holy Father, re-
port that the congress has rejected
the proposal to fix the date of Easter.
A special commission of the con-
gress, over which the Cardinal Arch
bishop of Malines presided, considered
this question, and the outcome of their
deliberations was that they decided
on the retention of the Gregorian cal
endar in it's present form The gen.
eral opinion of the congress seems to
have been that without the general
agreement of the Churches, there
could be no change in the method of
fixing Easter.
AS this decision has been come to
in Rome, it may be taken for certain
that the Parliament will abandon al
together its plan for fixing the date OF
Easter; a proposal that was embodied
in the form of a Bill. presented in the
House of Lords by the Earl of Dess-
borough.

TREND OF MODERN FICTION

There is a school-or maybe it
is only scattered crowd-of
modern writers who pander to the
depraved taste Of the morbid and
who, by their pornographic out
put, often turn the innocent soul
into the blase, sophisticated mind.
Their treatment Of subjects that
moral purity avoids, and their
covert sheer or thrust at Christian
belief, imperceptibly lead to a
weakening of faith not only in
God, but in human goodness. Not
a few there are, who, like Boccac-
clio, Rabelais, Murger and other
purveyors Of filth, pour forth their
scented offerings reeking with
poison.
Sunday supplements and GER
tain magazines are the worst Of
tenders in this field. With the
printed word they add fuel to the
imagination in the salacious pic
ture and the immoral illustration.
Few Sunday papers there are, it
seems, but carry the most outland-
ish scientific" articles with a
flood of dirty views. They are
not insinuating, as formerly; no.
they wallow in filth without any
pretense to decency. Their fiction
leaves nothing to the power of inn
agination. This faculty is reliev-
ed Of all effort in perception by
means of the revelation on the
pictured page.
lsthere not here an opportunity
for women's organizations to
purge our ordinary reading mat
ter of the obscenity that should
be repulsive to every decent wom-
an? For after all, it is the fe-
male Of the species that is expos
ed to wanton insult. Woman s
weakness, her person and her
misfortunes are portrayed with
unbridled license in word and pic.
ture. A strong movement, cham
pioned by several million women,
would 60 far towards cleansing
the Augean tables as they send
forth their streams of putrid filth.
Age does not need such condiment
in it's mental pabulum, while
youth soon loses the taste for solid
virtue.

DON'T QUIT THE CHURCH.

One Of the traits of the Cath
Ollie Church is that there is no
open season with regard to attend
ance at Mass on Sundays. "Closed
for the summer signs do not
adorn the facade Of Catholic
edifice. The obligation to hear
Mass on such days is personal
one: it accompanies one whittier
soever he goes. The practical
believer is aware Of this response
bility, and he seeks on every occa-
sion to live up to it.
AT or near all the large summer
resorts throughout the country
may be found church where the
tourist or vacationist is afforded
the opportunity to comply with
his obligation. That usually he
does so is apparent from the
crowds that throng such churches
eloquent testimony that the faith
is still strong in the Catholic
heart. Very often, too, do we re-
ceive requests for information as
to whether there is a church near
such or such a lake or resort.
There is a type Of person, how
ever, who seems to plan his out
ing in such way that he can ex-
cuse himself from attendance at
Mass, for the simple reason that
there is no church within hailing
distance. It may be mere acct
dent in some cases, while again it
is known to be deliberate.
Perhaps worse still is the per-
son who starts out early on Sun
day morning for some pleasure
fishing, hunting, autoing, etc.
and simply dispenses himself from
the obligation without reference
to the condition of his soul. 1t is
not rare, in cases of accidental
deaths on Sunday excursions, to
discover that the unfortunate
failed to hear Mass before seeking
his outing. The best and the
manly method is to play the game
safe: attend to the obligation
which is incumbent on every Cath
Ole, and one is thereby assured
both Of the blessing of God as well
as Of clear conscience. 1t pays
in the end.
