United Press Leased Wire

ROME, Jan. 24.-Pope Benedict
XIV on his death bed expressed a
wish that Cardinal Lafontain, patri-
arch of Venice, succeed him, accord
ing to Cavaliere Fagiani, Benedict's
private chamberlain.
Fagiani in an interview, declared
the Pope repeatedly designated Card
inal Lafontain, who with Cardinals
Maffi and Ratti, is now the foremost
candidate to succeed Benedict.
The Sacred College is now compos-
ed of eight cardinals created by
Pope Leo. twenty five created by
Plus X when Cardinal Del Val was
Papal secretary OF state. Thus Merry
Del Val and Gasparri may have q
determining influence in the conclave.
Cardinal Merry Del Val, himself
mentioned as q possible successor to
Benedict, was believed likely to op-
pose Cardinal Maffi. More opposi-
ton to Maffi was believed likely to
arise from Vatican conservatives
such as Cardinal Gasparri, Papal
secretary Of state, VINO are believed
to disapprove his cordial relations
with the Italian royal family.
The precedent that the secretary
OF state cannot be chosen to the
Papacy seems to be initiating against
The choice Of Gasparri as successor
to Benedict
Popular Deputy Defiausto, in an in
terview, declared France was sup
porting Cardinal MERCER Of Belgium
for the papacy in the hope of break
ing the custom of choosing an Italian
for pope. The Corriere Italia, how
ever, describes this statement as
"fanciful."
The Paese warns of the possibility
that in the conclaye of Cardinals to
meet February 2 there may be found
q small but determined element which
will hold out for selection of cardi-
nal an Italian.
Decision as to when the actual -
terment Of Pope Benedict will take
place will be made by the Sacred
College late today. The time set may
be either tonight or Wednesday night

ASSURANCES AS TO
ROAD THROUGH
VALLEY

j. L. Travers, secretary of the I'M
peral County Highway Commission,
has letter from IN. D. Darlington,
president of the California Highway
Commission, bearing upon the pros
poets Of state highway through the
valley and connecting the important
towns with the county seat. The letter
is in response to a letter by Mr.. Tray
ers asking when relief in this respect
might be expected. Mr.. Darlington re-
plies that it is contingent upon what
is left after the completion of the road
from Banning to Whitewater. The fol-
lowing is quoted from Mr.. Darling
tons letter:
II have yours of the 18th inst. in
regard to the condition of the high
ways in Imperial County following the
recent rains. We ali realize that the
situation in the Valley has been very
bad Immediately following the storm
and are anxious to do everything pos
sible to help out.
~ am unable to say anything of a
definite nature until we have received
bids on the stretch between Banning
and Indio. -;
Owe will call for bids on the last re-
naming section between Banning and
Whitewater within a short time and
when these bids are in will know just
what funds are available for work in
the Valley. 1t is our purpose to de-
vote any surplus funds remaining in
the allotment for this highway, after
this essential link between Banning
and Indio has been taken care Of, to
work within the Valley itself.
"As soon as the cost of the above
mentioned stretch Of highway has been
determined by actual bids, we will
be able to give you definite infOrma-
ton.
"We have just awarded contracts on
two sections-one between Whitewat-
er and Edom, and also, between Edom
and Indio, so that this work will be
under way within few days and will
be pushed forward to completion as
rapidly as possible"

Walker D. Hines Furnishes
Facts and Figures to Sup

LABOR WAS INEFFICIENT
Technical Data and Practical
Facts Tend to Offset Case
Set Up by Railroads
United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Claims
of the railroads for large sums of
money from the federal government
because Of alleged inefficiency of
labor was opposed by Walker D.
Hines, former director general Of
railroads, testifying before the Sen
1te interstate commerce commission
today.
He also revealed that labor effici-
oncy increased after the passasr of
the eight hour law and stated this
law which caused an increased num-
ber of employees had probably caused
misleading reports as to inefficiency.
Using traffic units per man hour
as the basis of measuring" labor,
Hines said these units had increased
from 81 TO 1915-before the Adama-
son eight hour law passed-tQ So in
1917 and Disagreement control
years--l00 in 1919 and 10l in 1920.
The nations railroads were in dis
reputable shape when they were
taken over by the government, but
conditions were improved under fed
e8al control, Hines said.
"The notion that the railroads were
broken down by the government was
wholly contrary to facts" Hines said.
''This is proved by the phenomenal
traffic which was successfully hand
led in 1920,
During federal control the roads
were operated by the same practical
railroad men who operated them be-
fore and since federal control. Re-
ports OF our regional directors can be
searched in vain for anything indi-
eating a broken down condition of
the properties
On the contrary, Hines maintained,
the report gave proof that the prop
critics had been substantially main-
timed except for some shortage of
rails, ties and ballast upon some of
+ho roads.

as soon as practicable.
Passage of resolution declaring
for reduction of land armament, but
without an agreement to put any lin
itations into effect at present, is now
under consideration among some of
the conferees. 1t would be simply a
declaration Of policy, such as the re-
cent resolutions on the Far East.
This would not condemn France di-
rectly for blocking limitations of
armies in the present conference, bat
it might be hint to the French that
their policy of maintaining a large
army does not meet with the approval

Why is it that in different places we

Why is it that in different places we
find different attitudes on the part of
the authorities Of the Church in the
question of mixed marriages? There
are places where the dispensation is
granted without any question; in 9TH
ers, long course of instructions is
required. 1t is pretty hard to see the
boasted unity of the Church in this
regard.
Unity of the Church by no means
requires absolute conformity in all
minor and accidental points of disci-
pine. The United States is one ma
ton; yet the laws of the various
states may and do vary. The gener-
al law of the Church regarding mixed
marriages DEGREES: That such mar
riages are deprecated and forbidden
by the Church; that dispensation is
required before permission for such
marriages will be granted; that pas
tors are commanded to warn their
people against such unions; that the
non-Catholic party must give guaran-
tees safeguarding the Catholic reli-
zion of his wife and of the children

TELL It NOT
SEX HYGIENE NOT A SCHOOL
SUBJECT-AARVARD PROBES.
SoR SAYS KNOWLEDGE DOES
NOT KEEP PEOPLE STRAIGHT.

The teaching of sex hygiene in the
public schools of America is deplored
by DR.. Richard c. Cabot, professor of
medicine and social ethics at Harvard
University.
1t isn't knowledge that keeps peo-
pie straight" according to this uni
versity authority.
IF it did," DR.. Cabot argued, doc
tors and nurses would be the most
exemplary people in the world-and
we know they are not.
THE teaching of sex hygiene in
public schools is not helpful to the
youth of the land, in my estimation %
he declared. 'In the first place, it
centralizes the attention and the
thought and the Imagination on a
thing that we do not want the thought
centralized upon; hence it's teaching
is contradictory.
Children develop along sex lines
at widely divergent ages. What one
child is ready for in the way of in
struction the next one is not ready
for, and to force knowledge upon a
child who is not ready for it is a
serious thing. Such knowledge should
be impaired to individuals and not to
groups.
Besides, knowledge is not the thing
that keeps people straight The ex.
ample of people we care for is the
thing that does that, hence the value
of the right kind of companions for
both children and adults"
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1922-09-30

tice. The responsibility of granting
the dispensation and of safeguarding
the Catholic religion of the wife and
the Catholic training of the children
rests with the individual Bishop.
Bishops are human, and they vary in
their judgments. What satisfies one
may appear inadequate to another.
Hence we see that some demand more
safeguards than others. This is q.
matter of discipline, and the Church
has never taught nor practiced an abb
solute uniformity of discipline. Thus,
the discipline of the Church about
Communion under both species Of
bread and wine has changed; the
method of public penance, the number
of holy days of obligation, the rigor OF
the fast, have been changed. So, too,
with the discipline concerning the
subject of mixed marriage. The fun
damentals, the essentials, are the
same in all dioceses Of the world.
The fact that in some localities a
course of instructions is exacted, is
most accidental as regards the Sac
rament of marriage and is left to the
prudent judgment Of the Bishop, who
should best know the conditions of
his own diocese.
