EMERSON INSTITUTE
BASED ON SERVICE

seventy-three years ago Emerson
Institute was founded. That it's
founder was a wise man was clear
to his contemporaries. for he made
service the rock on which he built
service to his fellows.
From about the close OF the Mex
lean war till today this school has
rested on this rock Of service. The
wisdom of its founder is justified
in its long and vigorous life; for
the successors OF the founder have
buttressed the foundation with more
and more service.
It is a cultural preparatory school
essentially, and believes that Ger
tain things are vital to culture. It
offers no competition to CONNER
cial or Industrial or technical schools
1t prepares the soil of the mind To
grow all or any of these things
should the individual desire ia
specialize.
The past June. "A college and
professional degrees were given to
former ErnersOnians.

The K. Of c. Evening School is
now in its seventh year. Begin
ming in the fail of 1919 with a
dozen instructors. 1t has gradually
extended the scope of its work
until now there are a names on
its faculty roll.
From the beginning. large pro
portion of the faculty has been
composed OF members of the fac
uity of Catholic University. More
recently Georgetown University has
also made its contribution to the
faculty list. and the students Of
the Evening School have discovered
that contribution is of high quality.
In addition to Catholic University
and Of Georgetown instructors there
are on the faculty of the Evening
School men active in business and
professional fields and who give an
hour or two each evening to teach
ing the arts or sciences to which
they devote themselves in a prac-
tical way throughout the day. This
Is true especially of the law
faculty, which is composed of
members OF the Washington bar
interested In raising the general
level Of legal instruction.
Accounting and bookkeeping and
business law courses also are taught
by professional men engaged in
their own offices during the regu-
lar hours of the working day.
The universal attitude OF the stu
dents Is that here Is a rare oppOr.
ttinity to sit at the feet of special
lists who know their subjects thor
oughIy and who know how to teach
what they are teaching.
These are teachers, they feel
who have the best training to be
had in colleges and universities,
but who have not lost touch with
their fellows who have not lad
the good fortune to enjoy the same
opportunities.

MANY OLD ROYALTY DIE

About 25 per cent of the heads of former royal houses have died since federal and pro- vincial governments in 1918 were drawn into negotiations to indemnify them for property confiscated during the revolution.
 The monarchist slogan. settle with former princes and kings before they die" has a basis In fact, although all the rulers who have died left heirs who are continuing the fight in the half-dozen states and principalities which have not settled after eight years
 The delay. now prolonged until the Reich stag meets again in November, is costing the governments millions of dollars annually in pensions and rents on property held. The former Kaiser alone draws stipend of S144,- 900 a year. few of the ex-rulers are land poor Prince Johann Georg of Saxony, brother of tho former King Friedrich August, has been forced by circumstances to sell his Dresden palace and estate 10 the city for S1,- 100000. But most of them are holding out for indemnities and it is believed they stand a good chance of getting about half Of the three billion marks which they demand.

ALL GO TO CHURCH

All degrees of motordom, from huge pol ished limousines down through the ranks of the two-seaters to battered motorcycles and sidecars went to church on St. Christophers Day in France, and several ceremonies were held blessing them, with priests In full regalia. St. Christopher, every motorist and most travellers know, is the patron saint of voyagers, and his duties have been heavily increased since the advent of the motor car placed so many more under his protection.
 St. Christopher Jajolet. of all the churches named for the saint in France, is held to be the most powerful, and to this country church, six miles from the nearest railway, motor cars by the score were driven on this day that their owners might have the protection of the | Saint for the coming 12 months. In long line, automobiles of all sorts passed before ! the statue of the Saint, some decorated with flowers and others merely with dust. Each was blessed by Abbe Thuau,
 Those automobilists who could not reach ! this special ceremony went to other St. Christophers less famous but still credited with power to protect them

FRENCH VETERANS
 DENY ANTlPATHY
Insist They Will Welcome American Legion Next Year

Rockland, Me, Aug. fl Pl-The declaration that antipathy toward Americans does not exist among the French veterans of the World war, was contained in two cablegrams from the French minister of foreign affairs received here last night by the France convention committee of the American Legion,
 The messages were in answer to queries sent the French government by the Legion in regard to the at titude of the French people to- wards the proposed Legion conven- tion to be held in France next year. One of the cablegrams said:
 "Inasmuch as. certain newspapers in America have circulated hostile rumors, you have inquired of the French government what may be the attitude existing in France in regard to the convention of the American Legion.
 "The comite d'entente and the semaine du combatant have inform ed you that members of the Ameri- can Legion will be received with enthusiasm by their comrades. You may be assured that for my part the coming to France of your mem- bers, placed as it is above all con- troyersy and all political problems, will be considered as a friendly and courteous visit and a sacred pill grimage to the graves of American soldiers who rest in France. There is not a Frenchman but will greet your members as they pass and kneel with them on these graves"
 The second message denied ru- mors of a hostile attitude on the part of the French veterans. Ii said, in part:
 Representative of more than 2,000,000 French veterans and vic- tins of the war formerly deny the rumors tending to create the i'm pression that France does not want the convention of the American Le- zion to be held in Paris in 1927. "On the contrary French veter- ans rejoice to have the opportunity to show their American comrades that for them lasting comradeshir and brotherly affection remain al ways above the material considera- tions.
 Recent incidents during the passage of foreigners have beer ! isolated cases and insignificant They do not reflect public opinion which remains Loyalty attached tc the friendship of America"

Mackie. 1nwood. L. l., former New York state junior champion, Spencer Brainard of Branford, Conn. and F. NJ. Hancock of Provi- dence.
 Today Marston was to drive off with Mackie as his opponent and Brainard was to try the mettle of Hancock. The finals, 36 holes, come tomorrow.
 Mackie was the most impressive rounds. Both his opponents were badly beaten, and 6. His drives were well nigh perfect and his long butts were as sure as his short ones. On the morning round he was out in par 36 and was one under par for the nine holes in the after noon.
 Brainard in winning his second match on the home green went the IS holes in one over par 72. On the outward journey he played every hole, except the fourth, at par. Coming in he took two more than par on two holes, but got birdies on two others to make the nine holes in par 36.
 Marston played his best golf in the second match but he had sev- eral bad holes, requiring 7S strokes for the circuit. Hancock won both his matches on the 17th green, two
