necessary to make one visit a day for
five days to the principal church Of each
place and to three other designated
churches, to receive the sacraments of
Penance and the Holy Eucharist, and to
pray for the intention Of the Pope. 1t
is explained that The intention Of the
Pope is the propagation Of faith, peace
and good will among peoples, and the
protection of the Holy Places in PaIes-
tine in a manner conforming with the
rights Of the church.
IAN the faithful of the archdiocese
are urged to join with the faithful
throughout the world in the celebration
Of the Jubilee, the Cardinal stated.
They are earnestly exhorted to make
the visits required. to receive the sacra-
ments, to pray ~fervenrIy for the inten-
tons of our Holy Father. and thereby
avail themselves of this extraordinary

BOY BABY BORN UNDER 3 FLAGS
OFFERS PROBLEM.

Here's a knotty problem for immigra.
ton officials, lawyers and Washington
officials to decide.
Miles Prior Barsan was born yester-
day on the Olympic while the White
Star liner was lying alongside her pier.
The cbild's father, Caesar Barsan, is
a naturaIized American. The chiId's
mother comes from Rumania. But the
baby was born on American soil in a
British ship.
AS far as anyone could make out yester-
day, baby Miles will be the only baby
born in New York with the privilege of
deciding whether he will become an
American citizen.
Then again, he may have to wander
around for the rest of his life. while
red tape is deciding whether he is Brit
ish, American, Rumanian, or what have
yOu?-Lbid.

Mr.. C. R. Davidson, who with Col. STRAIT.
ION completed the expedition.
From DR.. F. w. Aston and Mr.. C. R.
Davidson,
Rerkulen, Sumatra, Jan. 16.
After night of heavy rain the dawn
Of Thursday was cloudy. We walked to
The romantic old English fort. the o.
serving station chosen by the British
Expedition, where there was a busy
sceue, the observers working hard in the
n DIST tropical heat finally adjusting all
the instruments. At midday the wealth
er was hopeful and the apparatus was
ready. We had a hurried luncheon in
the fort. which was then unusually Qui-
ct, as it had been cleared of the chat
tering wives and bowling infants Of the
native police.
AS the time Of t%otality drew near the
observers arSiOusly watched the sun
and the time. The seconds licked and
at length a spot of intense b!ackness
appeared on The edge of the un. The
eclipse had started.
We had now an hour and a half to
wait We hardly dared to lock at the
clouds, which seemed to be rhickening
everywhere and were especially dense
over the American observing station on
the hills
Sunlight gradually faded, and as the
crescent Of the sun became narrower and
narrower the clouds began to thin.
Plates were handed round, and then an
eXpectediy someone shouted, GO. To-
paiity has Begin" The next 100 sec
ouds were like a crowded hour. There
was no sound but the steady count Of
the seconds and the click Of the photo
graphic apparatus. The fortunate OBJ
servers looked for d few seconds on an
amazing spectacle-a jet-black disc with
Vivid red flames here and there on the
edge surrounded by streamers of the
corona. The sky near the sun was abso-
Iutely cIoudIess, and pale moonlight and
blue stars were visible.
Suddenly the edge fared blindingIy,
and the eclipse of 1926 was over.
The plates so far developed are good.

WHAT ECONOMY IS FOR

While thrift is being preached strongly that it
to embody all the virtues, why not look at it
squarely2 When is thrift thrifty? What is it for?
What all after is what the Great Teacher
said he came to help get. Il came that We might
have life, and that more abundantly.
That's all there is to it. That's the goal. The rest
is matter of method.
Money is the means Of keeping life going 1t is
the measure of labor turned into lie If it is spent
heedlessly life becomes cramped and uncomfortable.
Wherefore employ thrift, which is merely way to
keep money in order If spend too much on one
thing we haven't got any for something else. Money
must be saved while it is being earned, lest there be
days of earning. Banks, insurance policies bonds
real estate-these are means, not ends.
While this knowledge is kept clearly in mind, all
is we'll.
Wise people definite percentage of every unit
of income They keep ready fund for rainy day.
They have fund for chdren's education, for their
own old age They provide for dependents in of
death disability. They put what they can into their
business other that income may increase.
The rest they spend freely making life happy and
comfortable as they go along
This sounds simple but everywhere are people
who don't get the point. They spend today's money
galy, along with tomorrows next years, todays
whlm. Tomorrow and next year they find themselves
sold into miserable slavery Or they worship economy
and don't spend enough, and become lust as miserable
the other fellows.
When family or a business is considering the
purchase of something which will make its operation
easier probably increase its returns and good WILL
should think twice before it decides If its plan for the
year complete and this purchase, however desirable
in itself will upset the balance, it is wisdom to post
pone. But to refuse the thing which will benefit the
family business merely because it can wggle along
without It, and because economy, virtue requires
that people buy think they do without, is a poor
business principle. Persisted in that is heading for
disaster
Thrift is not moral principle. II is method of
maintaining balance.

police can't stop it,
Judge Nix of the juvenile court in that city adds
his testimony that the boys and girls are no worse now

"Petting, it is called" he observes ''leads to
more marriages than scandals. And besides YOU can't
stop it anyhow It was always done, no matter what

1t IS no sin for a boy and girl to be in love"
