John of VerceUi First Director
Of Holy Name Organization
Master General OF Dominican Order, One of Most
Noted Friurs of Thirteenth Century-Actipe
for Many Decades

The first director and probably the
founder Of the Holy Name organiZa-
ton was an elderly frfar named John
of Vercelli, who, at the time was
master general of the Dominican or
der - ri ey
John was chosen as director of the
new order by Pope Gregory X, who
wished to reward the noted friar for
his zeal and devotion.
John of Vercelli was born in or
near Vercelli, Italy, at the beginning
OF the thirteenth century. His achieve
ments as q student in the schools of
Vercelli and at the University of
Paris attracted the attention of his
elders, and he started auspiciously on
career as professor and preacher.
While in Paris he became interested
in the newly founded Order of St.
Dominic and soon enrolled as a mem
Der.
Has Remarkal,se Career.
1t was not until the middle Of the
thirteenth century, according to Rev.
Reginald Hughes, o. P, Of New
York that Johns apostolic endeavors
began to draw widespread attention.
From 1881 until his death 80 years
later the affable old friar passed
through a career which merited sin
gular admiration even In that age
Of great men and gigantic labors,"
he states in an article in the Holy
Name Journal
I'm 1851 he was summoned by In
nocent Nv to pacify the turbulent
provinces Of northern Italy; in 1860
he was named to direct the suppress
sion OF heresy in the same states; in
1852 the preaching of a crusade to
Jerusalem was intrusted to him; in
1857 the much desired return Of the
Greek schismatfcs to the true faith
round in him jealous co-operator
and the preaching of a second cru
sade fell to his lot; finally, in 1872.
1877 and 1878 we discover him on
difficult diplomatic missions to Italy,
France and Spain.
For 80 years John, staff in hand
trudged the roads Of France, Italy and
Germany, until the holy see came To
regard him as one highly conversant
with affairs in all Europe, and dis
tinctly capable of performing invalu-
able services
COlIapses ON Road.
This was the man chosen by Greg
ory Y to direct the preaching of the
Holy Name devotion, the man who may
truly be called the first Holy Name
director. Certainly in the day OF Johr
Of Vercelli we do not look for ar
organization as complete and perfect
as that OF our own time. But to Johr
must be conceded the distinction ot
being the first official director Of the
devotion. More than that, there is
reason to believe that John may have
been personally responsible for the
Holy Name movement itself
Worn out at last by the fatigues oi
countless journeys across Europe
most of them at an age when the or
dinary man seeks a restful life, the

KENTUCKY VOTING LAW.

Kentuckians living outside their State
cannot vote by mail, but must register
and vote in person, Gov. William J.
Fields has informed Joseph e. Good
key, Of Berwyn, Md, in reply to the
latter's inquiry on the subject The
law permitting voters to vote by mail
was held unconstitutional about two
years ago, the governor said.
The new registration law in brief
provides, that one must register in the
precinct in which he lives; that he does
not have to reregister hereafter unless
he moves into another precinct; that
supplemental registration dates are on
October and s, which gives oppor-
tunity to qualified voters who were un-
able to register September and g.; that
a voter may register next year il he
fails to register this year, and that
voter, il he has changed his residence,
may register at the regular annual reg
isration in the precinct in which he is
legal voter.

Prisoners Are Made
to Sing and Talk

Berlin.-One of the most interest
ing by-products of the World war has
been the founding in Berlin of an IAN
thropophonetic" library as a part of
the Prussian state library. 1t Is an
aggregation Of human sounds perpet-
uated upon photograph plates and was
founded by Prof. Wilhelm Doegen.
Struck by the idea that the pres
ence Of the prisoners of war from ev-
cry quarter of the globe in German
intercment camps afforded unique
opportunity for assembling collec-
ton Of sounds and songs and pro-
nunciations Of words, he undertook
the task.
Professor Doegen spent months in
visiting the prison camps as head of
a commission of scientists, and asked
the prisoners to sing folk songs and
pronounce words and utter various
characteristic music on native in
struments of various countries.
The collection of sounds now num-
bers some 5000, and includes those
from most nations of the earth, as
Professor Doegen's researches were
greatly extended after the war.
OF each reproduction three original
plates are made with an estimated
life Of 5000 or 10000 years. These
are carefully stored in the vaults of
the library, while ordinary hard-rub-
Der plates are used for the demonstra-
lions.
More lately the collection has been
extended to include noises in nature,
such as the rustling of leaves, the
whistling of the wind, the roar Of the
ocean and the roll of thunder

Preston demurred. Insistent, the men
forced him to remove his garments,

enough of their own tatters to save
Mr.. Preston the necessity Of creeping
