FRENCH OR ENGLISH?
FRENCH BOY SCOUTS SWEAR
FEALTY TO KING GEORGE.

When the English Boy Scout regula-
lions were translated into French the
unimaginatiye official translator had
slavishly put into French form the
oath used in England, SO that for the
past ten years or SO French Boy
Scouts have been solemnly swearing
fealty to King George And the most
amusing part of the story is that this
fact only came to light a fortnight
ago when two Paris lads joining a
local section of the Boy Scout Union
were asked to swear fidelity to God,
King and country" Their little minds
were greatly exercised and returning
home they asked their parents to tell
them something about the king
they henceforth were expected to
serve faithfully. This led to the
surprising discovery that boys of the
French Republic had been taking an
oath of loyalty to King George OF
England.

PAL NUNCiO IN ATTENDANCE.

The Basilica of Saint Deals, in
Paris, has just been the scene of

Guesclin, Constable of France, who is
inferred there.
Mgr. Cerretti, Papal Nuncio to Paris,

ture of the grandeur and popular
spirit of the ancient monarchy.
Constable Bertrand du Guesclin, one
of the greatest popular and national
heroes of France, was a type of the
old French chivalry. Born in Brittany
in 1921, of a family descended from
the king, Hakin, he was the eldest
of ten children and was distinguished
for his unruliness. AS youth he
went in secret to a tourney where
he defeated several knights, one OF
whom was his own father.
Du Guesclin took an active part, un
der King Charles V, in the war oil
| independence against the English
from whom he won back the province
of Normandy. The long period of un
| rest in France having led to the for
nation of the great companies,
composed of old soldiers and vaga
bonds who lived by pillage, Du Cues
'clin cleared the country of them b,
organizing them and taking them Il
Spain to fight against the Moors. /

Denis in funeral procession which
LASTED three months. The funeral wa

Charles Y, desiring to honor the mem
DRY of Du Guesclin, caused his funera
u to be celebrated a secoud time.
Il One Of Du Guesclin's sisters was
nun who victoriously defended he

FOLLOW ENGLISH MODEL
TWENTY DIFFERENT UNITS-MA-
LAY STATES HAVE cATHO.
Lie FEDERATION.

A Catholic federation has been
formed in the Federated Malay States
on the lines of the Westminster
Catholic Federation. Out of total
estimated population of about one
million in the Malay States, there are
some 22,950 Catholics.
This latest recruit to the West
minister model now places on record
about twenty declarations that are be-
ing ruled after, that organization in
different parts of the world. All these
organizations are in constant CORE
spondence and the closest touch with
the Westminster officials.
These self-governing declarations are
to be found in India, Burma, Aus.
tralia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Trini-
dad, Cape Town, Pretoria, and in other
places, and all together they present
a very solid unit working to the same
end, that of bringing the social power
of Catholicism more prominently into
the civic life of Catholics.

FAvORS WORKING MEN
SAN FRANCISCO WAGE BOARD
FIXES SCALE OF coMPENSA-
TON BY INCOME FOR YEAR.

The disastrous effect which drastic
reduction in wages would have on es.
tablished standards of living, recog-
milton of the principle of the eight
hour day and the establishment of an
annual as opposed to a daily wage,
were considerations borne in mind by
the Impartial Wage Board of San Fran
cisco, of which Archbishop Edward ].
Hanna is chairman, in fixing its wage
awards for the year 1922
The awards, which were effective
beginning January 1, will apply to the
Building Trades crafts, including more
than three score different classes OF
workmen and their helpers. In most
crafts, slight reductions in wage are
called for, and, except in the case Of
unskilled labor, eight hours will con
stitute days work and five and one
half days a weeks work.
"The Board had to bear in mind tht
lack of continuity of employment II
many crafts" declares its report. Il
is not SO much what craftsman re
ceived by the day as it is what he re
ceiyed by the year which counts in de
termining his real comre~ sation. TIL
board was primarily concerned Will
the establishment of an annual as OF
posed to daily wac In addition t
this consideration OF the non-contiN
uous nature of the employment, which
stands in the way of compensatin
the craftsman on the exclusive basi
| of standard OF skill. there Is TIL
further consideration OF the varyin
hazard to life and limb OF employment
in certain crafts. Where the leopard
Of life and limb is great, the craftsma
is legitimately entitled to higher col

"A letter came to me the other day

glad that little Julia Grant is doing
something for the refugees of Russia,

tract. Bids will be opened the first

superstructure, which is to be entire
ly of brick, according to plans and
specifications prepared by Victor Cor
della, of Minneapolis The extreme
dimensions of the building are: 10
feet by AZ feet, exclusive of front
steps and two sacristies. The people
are very enthusiastic to have this new

all to have it paid for while it is in the
process of construction. Their old
church was too shabby and small for
the needs of the congregation, so
they decided last spring to erect the
basement the first year and the entire
superstructure the second year, and
they have pledged an amount suffi-
cient to cover the entire cost of the
building. Their present incumbent,
Rev. S. B. Kuzniak, is with them ten
yeats, and it is mainly due to his un-
firing efforts that the new building
will stand as monument of his faith
full flock to God The laying OF. the
cornerstone will take place immediate
ly after Easter, and work upon the
building will commence as soon as the
weather conditions in this part of
Minnesota will permit, so the entire
new structure will be ready for occu,
