SHRINE CEREMONY
CHANGE ANNOUNCED
Feast of Immaculate Conception to
Be Held in Gymnasium Instead
of in Crypt.

The celebration of the feast OF
the Immaculate Conception, which
was to have been held tomorrow in
the crypt of the National Shrine of
the\ immaculate Conception at Cath
olic University, will take place in
the gymnasium, owing to delay in
the installation of the heating equip
ment in the crypt. This ceremony is

high mass will be sung by Bishop
Thomas J. Shannon, rector of the uni
versity Rev. Ignatius Smith, O. T.,
will deliver the sermon.
THE National Shrine of the Immac-
ulate Conception is being erected in
honor to the Mother of God" said
Rev DR.. Bernard A. Mckenna, direc-
tor of the National Shrine. when
Columbus and his men celebrated for
the first time in the New World the
feast of the Immaculate Conception,
they opened in gratitude and joy the
history of Our Lady's glory and hon
or over the immense spaces of the
New Continent hitherto closed to the
gospel and it's civilization.
During these long centuries North
America claims it's large share in
this ever-increasing devotion to Mary
Immaculate, eliminating in the
solemn dedication of the American
Catholic Church to her by the fathers
of the Second Plenary Council Of
Baltimore. The first missionaries of
the New World were well advised in
deed, to present the Crucified One as
the Son OF Mary Immaculate. Amer
lean womanhood could not but sense
at once what the great message meant
for them in the way of emancipa tion
from the burdens that paganism i'm
posed on the weaker sex. They arose
at once to the highest level of spir-
itual equality, and the new reverence
for womanhood, thus engendered. was
no small element in the Christian
civilization of the aboriginal peoples
la Purisima became the ideal OF
Christian cleanliness of life, of self
respect and moral decency in the
social relations, the ordinary chan
nels of divine graces for the con-
duct of the family life, the bright
moral star before whose beauty the
obscenity of savage life weakened
and was vanquished. Without The
example, the grace, the inspiration OF
Mary Immaculate, the missionary
would have been helpless in the pres
ence of the deep moral per
versity that met him on all sides

MUSICAL EDUCATION
FOR YOUNG is URGED
District Federation Hears Plea
Also for Support for Ameri-
can Talent.

ut is necessary for Us to change
the entire attitude OF the American
public toward music before We can
hope to have a musical nation. ana
mis- is what We mean when the Ma
+fouaI Federation of Music Clubs of
america says that appreciation of
music is The bottom plank in its
PLATFORM" said Mrs. John +. Lyons,
national president OF the organiZa-
tfon. in an informal talk before the
board of the District Federation yes
terday afternoon, in the Homer Kit
Studios.
'statistics show that at least so
r,er cent of the American children to-
DAY have no music in their homes or
in their school life she continued.
''In New York City. undoubtedly the
music center Of the world from point
Of view of the amount and fine quail
ity of musical entertainment offered,
only per cent of the entire popula-
tiou hears that music. The men of
the present generation in particular
arc unmusical, because they We're
brought up to believe that the study
Of music was a subject for girls alone
and were not encouraged to learn to
play any instrument or to sing. It
was thought unmanly. When people
are grown it is difficult to develop in
terest and real appreciation of music,
but children naturally love beautiful
music The hopes Of making our
country u musical nation depend
upon the little children.
Plea for Americans.
Let me ask you to help in giving
the American artist and composer a
chance. l feel quite sure that what
ever the debt of the United States
to Europe for musical artists and in
spiration may have been at one time,
it has been more than paid off in dol
lars We should be glad our country
is young in music and art for youth
IS invaluable. We do not want to
shut out the foreign artist and COM
poser but at least give the American
Il $3.50 chance. 1t is practically i'm
possible for a native composer to get
n fair performance of an orchestral
work, for there are not many orches-
tras and all of them have foreign
conductors, unsympathetic to Ameri-
can ideas in musical composition

Navy Department is finding some d1f-
ticuIty in keeping the submarine
school at New London, Conn, UP to
its allotted strength of as.
Requests from officers for sub
marine duty are very limited" said
a curcular issued by the department,
land it is believed that this is due
largely to the fact that officers are
under the impression that ~ they
take up this duty it Will be difficult
FOR them to give it up.
The departments policy is to rotate
uualified officers between submarine
