AMERICAN WOMEN
PAN-AMERIcAN CONFERENCE TO
INVITE NORTH AND SOUTH
AMERICA.

The Pan-American idea, which crops
up sooner or later in all fields of pub
lie activity in North and South Amer
lea, is now to be extended to the Wom-
en- of the two continents by the Ma.
tional League of Women Voters
Preparations are being made for the
Pan-American Conference of Women
to be held at Baltimore next April
1t is to be composed of delegates OF
the several governments and of dis
tinguished. women of Latin-American
countries to whom personal invita-
lions have been extended.
or the forthcoming conference, Dr.
Rowe, director of the Pan-American
Union, is quoted as saying: Il feel
certain that the conference will have
definite and lasting educational val
lie in the United States, making
known to our people the important
results which the women of Latin
American countries are now securing,
both in the enlargement Of their civil
rights and the strengthening of their
civic activities

OLDEST INDIAN DIES
AGED CHIPPEWA WAS ONE HUN
DRED AND THiRTY-SEVEN
YEARS oLD-RoBUST UNTIL
TAKEN OFF BY PNEUMONIA
BECAME CATHOLIC EIGHT
YEARS AGO. Il

On February Z, there passed away
perhaps the oldest man in the world.
He was acknowledgements, trans
lated, Wrinkled Meat, a Chippewa In
dian of Cass Lake, MINI. His chief
claim to fame seems to have been his
great age. His birth, which took
place in 1885, antedated the American
Constitution and the first Inaugural
ton of, Washington as president. His
memory was clear and keen, and he
recalled and told correctly about
events in the war of 1912.
Wrinkled Meat was born near what
is now Pokegana, Pine county, Mimi.
Nearly his whole life was spent near
Cass Lake His boast was that he
never had fought the white man. He
never slept in a bed and was never
known to sit on chair. Up to the
very last, he preserved his quaint In
dian customs His first real taste OF
civilization was at McKinley's inaugu.
ration and the second at the Chicago
auto show in 1917. On both occasions.
he refused all the Injuries offered him
by the best hotels and slept on the
floor. After taking time to think
| it over, Wrinkled Meat became Cath.
olic eight years ago. ssa
The funeral Of the aged warrior
took place Thursday of last week from
St. Charles Catholic church at Cass
Lake. Rev. Francis Mockler officiated.
During the burial of the venerable In
dian, all business houses and stores in
the city suspended operation. At his
express wish, he was buried in a com
mon box made Of rough lumber.

CATHOLIC PHOTOGRAPHY
HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION TO
ATTEMPT CoMPlLATl oN--NEED
OF THIS WORK EMPHASIZED BY
LOSS OR INJURY TO DIOCESAN
ARCHIVES.

Three projects that promise to have
an important bearing upon Catholic
historical endeavor in the United
States, and throughout the world,
have been announced by the Ameri-
can Catholic Historical Association,
and will engage the special attention
of it's members this year.
They will include the preparation
of a universal photography of Cath
Ollie Church history in all languages, a
complete study of the present status
of Catholic archives in the United
States, and the compilation of list
of subjects of books most needed by
American scholars on historical
church subjects.
No general photography of Church
history exists in the world today. The
| necessity of such a. photography was
| so impressed upon the scholars who
gathered at the recent convention in
ten, S. j., of st. Ignatius' University,
| Cleveland, was selected to head com
1nittee which will begin preparations
for such a work this year. He will
| have the aid of members of the Asso.
citation in the United States, and the
Vatican libraries and other great cen.
ters of Catholic learning throughout
| the world will be called upon to assist
| in the compilation
The Importance of the study of
Catholic archives in the United States
has been made manifest by the fact
that scholars during the past few
years have found that immense treas
ures of Catholic history have been lost
because no adequate provision was
| made to safeguard them. During the
| Civil War, valuable records Of the
New Orleans diocese were destroyed

ROOF COLLAPSED UNDER WEIGHT

During the night the roof OF the
church of Saint Charles,:a at st. Etien-
ne, Paris, gave way under the weight
of the. snow and collapsed suddenly
into the interior of the church. The
pews, benches and chairs were
crushed to- dust under the avalanche.
Only the choir and the. main altar re-
main intact. There were no casual.
ties.

ming, the church was filled with the
faithful who were attending Bene-
diction. During the sermon unusual
sounds were noticed by the members
of the congregation, but no one was
alarmed by them. There would have
been very few survivors had the roof
collapsed during the service.

SIN general the figures tend to show
that foreign-born women had more
children last year than did those of
native stock" said Dr. Copeland.
When you combine the fact that
the children born to native mothers
are less than those born in other lands
with the further fact that infant NOR
tally is greater among babies OF ma
tive stock. there is indicated that our
population is becoming less Ameri-

tically the same relative. percentage

The statement that there is d
greater mortality among infants of
Ameriean-born mothers will, no doubt,
surprise many. One reason for this

terested in the following clipped from
the Liverpool Catholic Times:
The O'Rourkes in Lithuania.
Mr.. Francis McCullagh, the cores
|pondent of the Manchester Guar
dian" in Lithuania, tells of his visit
to a chateau near Minsk, which he de-
scribes as IAN Irish CASTLE" because
it is the home of Count O'Rourke, who
claims to be the representative of the
historic line of the old princes of
Breffni. He has an interesting story
of how the O'Rourkes found their way
to eastern Europe. One of the treas
ures of the old chateau near Minsk is
a sword with which Brian O'Rourke,
the head Of the clan in the seventeenth
century, fought, at the Boyne and un-
der Sarsfield at Limerick. After the
fight ended, he went to France with
the wild Geese" and Joined the Irish
brigade. Two of his sons fell fighting
in it's ranks at Fontenoy. Three of
his descendants took service in the
Russian army under the Empress
Elisabeth, and son of one of these
adventures, Joseph O'Rourke, fought
in the wars against the French re-
public and Napoleon, won distinction
as a cavalry leader, rose to the rank
of general, and was rewarded by the
Gar Alexander with countship and.
a large estate near Minsk.
These Lithuanian O'Rourkes are
playing distinguished part in the,
making of the new republic a Cath
olic state, and a son of the household

According to my wife, who is an
Episcopaiian, her minister stated in
his sermon on, believe, The Holy
Catholic Apostolic Church, that the
Protestant Episcopal Church dates
from the time Of the Apostles; that
at the Council of Nice there were
members of the Church of England
present. IT,
There is no assertion or claim more
Il easily or clearly disproved from his
tory than this. 1t was not until the
sixteenth century that the Episcopal
Church, or Church of England, sprang
into being; and the occasion of its be-
ginning is well-knewn fact. King
Henry VIII had petitioned Pope Gle
ment VII to annul his marriage, a
real. true valid union with Queen
Catharine, that he might marry his
mistress, Anne Boleyn. True to the
doctrine of Christ and Catholic teach
ing, the Pope refused. Henry was en-
ragged, and in spite of the. Pope's de-
cision divorced Catharine and married
Anne. He became embittered against
the Church and by an Act of Parlia.
ment had himself set UP as the Head
of the Church in England. BY this
act, the Anglican Church came into eX,
istence and the Tudor Sovereisns and
their Parliaments became the origin
of the Church's jurisdiction and the
arbiters of Church doctrine and ritual
Under Edward VI more drastic
changes were made. The Book oil
Common Prayer replaced the old doc
t1ine and ritual, all the affairs in the
churches were removed by the Reya
Council, and in their 80 place
Communion table was erected. This
was done in order, as they said, tt
move the people from the supersti
tons of the Popish Mass into the
right use of the Lords Supper. These
statutes were repealed under Queer
Mary, but re-enacted under Elizabeth
by the Parliament of 1858. Under hel
cruel reign, and through her blood
thirsty measures, England became
strongly Protestant. Since then Ang
llcanism did not take its rise unit
1884, it is, absolutely ridiculous ant
foolish for one to say that there were
members of the Episcopal Church
present at the Council of Nice, which
took place in 325 A. d.

Government Gives Up Hope
of Preventing Walkout by
Miners Situation 20 Be
Watched.

Washington, March 25.--There is
no likelihood that a suspension. Of
operations in both the hituminoAS
ana anthracite fields ON April 1 can
be prevented, it was said yesterday
at the White House. The govern
ment was said to have exhausted
its resources in the way of suggest
ing conference" between operators
and miners.
Though the situation will be
watched as it develops the govern
ment has no plan for taking action
before April l, and what will be
done after that will be determined
by the effects of the strike.
From an administration viewpoint,
it was said by high official who
discussed the matter following its
consideration at yesterdays cabinet
session, it is considered fair to say
that while the bituminous coal mine
operators have been the principal
obstacle to q conference between
the miners and their employers,
which might have adjusted the
strike, similar proposals looking to
a conference We're resisted by the
miners last October, and later when
the government again advanced
them. However, the administration
does not consider this as constitut-
ing a good excuse for the bitumin-
GUS operators, particularly those in
the central competitive field, re-
fusing to enter upon negotiations
now.
At the same time the government
recognizes that there is a very diff
ficult economic problem to be work
cd on. in the coal industry, There
