BARRING HEAVY TRUCKS
TO SAVE STATE ROADS
Highway Dept. Will Limit
Loads on Soft Surfaced
Roads During Thaws

Minnesota trunk highways will be
closed to heavy trucking wherever
necessary to prevent damage to the
routes now softened by spring thaws,
Charles NJ. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, announced this week.
The first order under the policy was
issued to cover, the: North Shore road,
Minnesota trunk highway No. l be-
tween Duluth and Grand Marais-and
many others are to follow, the COM
missioner said.
"The truck owner who Attempts to
move excessive loads on soft road only
wastes his own and his neighbors'
money, makes necessary repair work
from funds which otherwise could be
used for improvements" said Mr..
Babcock. "For that reason the CO.
operation of the general public is ex-
pected to, preserve the highways
against abuses this spring. Mainten-
ance superintendent are instructed
to maintain close watch on this sit
uation and any misuse Of the roads
will result in drastic action"
Approaching that the public will
not continue the road development
program so vital to their business,
commercial truck and passenger line
operators are pledging full assistance
in the preservation plan. They will
use light touring cars instead of
heavy bussess and hold up the big
trucks until the highways are free
from frost and again in condition to
carry heavy loads, according to their
voluntary reports to the highway de-
|partment.

THE PoPE,s ORIGIN.

There is much comment in the press
about the democracy of the Church.
based upon the fact that our Holy
Father, Pope Plus XI. is a man of the
people, whose parents were industrl-
Gus and hard working. 1t is surpris-
ing to, the average non-Cathoilc 10
find that poor man has a chance,
even for advancement. not to say ell
ovation to the highest :honors in the
Church. Yet this is not the first time.
There are many such conspicuous in
stances, says the New World.
Pope Plus X knew similar expert
ences in life. His brother and sisters
remained at their honorable occupa-
tions, only occasionally becoming his
guests.
Pope John XVIII .sprang from poor
people Damascus II was the son of a
woman who depended on the aims of
the parish. Urban Nv was the son of
a cobbler. Nicholas " belonged to a
poor family. Celestine v was the elev.
enth son of poor people. Benedict Xl
XXII was the. son of a collector OF
waste articles. Benedict XII was the
son of q miller. Boniface TX belonged
to a poor family who had fallen from
a high station. Alexander V got his
bread when boy by begging. The
mother of Nicholas v lived by raising
poultry. Sixtus TX was the son of a
fisherman, whom he aided in his boy
hood. Adrian vi was the son of a
shipwright. Plus v was the son of q
shepherd. Sixtus V was the SON of a
herdsman.
All these wore the triple crown-the
crown of superiority of merit over
birth, of mind over matter, and oil
moral worth over human might and
pretension. Surely it is proof that di
vine guidance in selection of the Pope
takes no thought of the things the
world values.

Writing to The Catholic Herald on
Personal "Reminiscences of the Late
Bishop Grace of SACRAMENTO, Cal.,'''
Rev. Vincent Morrison, A. B., after
speaking of that prelate's simple and
retiring character, of his studious
habits and of his love for children,
concludes thus: :Is.s
Bishop Grace was Alter Christus'
in the. true sense Of the word. In the
administration Of the holy sacrarnents
peculiar to his office as bishop--in of.
fering the Mass-or occupying the
pulpit. there was a dignity and rev
erence which was an inspiration to
the assistants as we'll as to the laity
who were present. Speaking from his
throne, vested in his episcopal attire,
he reminded me forcibly of the Saw
ior speaking to the multitudes on the
shore of Galilee from the bark OF
Peter. There was in him the same
kindness, the same simplicity OF
speech, which characterized the dis
courses of the Master, and their sim
plicity and kindness were the para
mount characteristics in which he
showed himself to be this, very Alter
Christus' in the true sense of the
word. !"

KINDNESS TO THE LITTLE ONES.

: A young woman of about eighteen
years was being considered for posi-
ton in which she would have good
deal to do with children, and some
one said of her:
We'll. have known her nearly all
of her life, and know that she is al
ways nice to children. She is often
in our home where there are six chill
dren, and she is always obliging and
appreciative."
'That is high recommendation, ~
said another woman. II would be in
clined to fight shy of a young woman
who did not like children and who
was unkind to them
The woman who is mice to chill
dren" has good heart. She would
be as apt to be mice" to the old peo-
pie as to children and one would not
be apt to find her rude or really I'M
kind to anyone. HE who doeth a
kind deed to little child, doeth it for
all the long years that lie ahead of
that young life.''
OF all forms of human kindness,
none are of greater value than the
kindness shown to the little ONES Of
the world, and those who never show
any kindnesssof this nature are sadly
deficient in one of the sweetest and
noblest traits of character.
