SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Sad September.

September is a sad month, usually
P, for the Summer vacation girl who had
+; the time Of her life while she was
away at the mountains or the sea-
shore, meeting new people and max
| ing new conquests. 1t is IN TINS
| month that she meets with disillusion
and disappointment-bitt disappoint-
ment. Consequently it is at this time
| that the Summer girl must guard
against heart-break-she must be pre-.
pared for the worst.
| When Peggy came back from the
mountains, she could talk nothing
but Orrin-her wonderful blue-eyed
| Orrin. whom she'd met one Summers
day on a lovely lake.
| They were just made for each other.
she'd realized instantly. He'd looked
20 stunning in his sport clothes, and
he swan and rode and played tennis
so well. And he'd fallen for her be-
| cause she was such a good athlete.
| Such beautiful romance had
started between them! When Peggy
T, had come away after her vacation.
| Orrin, who lived in another city. had
promised to arrive in New York. where
| she lived. and spend few weeks
there in September. So that by Sep
| tember 10. Peggy was all excited
about seeing her glorious Romeo
| again.
She could hardly believe that such
| happiness was to be hers. She went
to meet him at the station. to be sure
| that no one else should see him first
and grab him.
! AS she watched the train eagerly
| she saw no one get off who looked in
the least like her hero. and her heart
sank. But suddenly a voice hailed
her. Turning, she saw before her a.
| rather bulky figure, clad in what
seemed to be the worst-looking clothes
/ she'd ever seen.
| 1t was with a dreadful shock that
| she realized she was gazing at her
| heavier looking in ordinary street
clothes than he had been in bathing
| togs. And she'd never dreamed he
would have such horrible taste. The
world looked very black indeed. She
knew she didn't love him at all. as
| she surveyed this rather plump.
rather badly-dressed stranger. who
! looked so out of place on the city
! streets.
How was she to get rid of him?"
she wondered with agitation.
But she needn't have troubled.
Orrin was experiencing the same
kind of disillusionment concerning
her. st..- ~...,l,. 81 .-
In the country Peggy had seemed
Just his type-a good -natured, easy,
going pal--a splendid athlete and a
regular sport.
But viewing her now in her natural
setting, he realized that she was too
citified for him--she looked too so.
phisticated, too much the perfect New
Yorker to please him.
They parted on the best of terms.
but with the firm conviction never
to expect too much again of a Septem-
ber meeting after a June romance.
And it were wise Of all YOU girls
who arc looking forward to Septem-
ber reunions not to count too much on
them.

SIR JOHN LAVERY, ARTIST,
HONORS U. S. BRUNETTES
Painter of Portraits of Millionaires
Speaks Well of Blondes, But
Prefers Other Type.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 3o.-Sir John
Lavery, who is reported to have
painted more portraits of American
millionaires than any other artist,
while putting in a good word for
blondes. says ne prefers American
brunettes.
Sir John and Lady Lavery, just

burgh that they are planning another
visit within the next few months.
Sir John believes that numerous
valuable oil paintings in the United
States are being damaged or ruined
by the ravages Of the heat arising
from steam radiators.
Il doubt" said the artist, whether
the climate Of the United States Ia
any more injurious to works OF art
than that Of Europe. but I do believe
the overheated dry atmosphere OF mu-
seums and residences in which there
are oil paintings and tapestries can
not he other than a serious menace"

of production and illustration the
United States had little to learn from
other countries. The illustrated daily
and weekly newspapers were charac-
terized as "marvels Of excellence and

From the Spanish period until the
time of Juarez the church's wealth and
power increased. In 1857, the year in
which Mexico's first anti-cIerical con-
stitution was adopted, it was consery-
atively estimated that the church con-
trolled over one-third of the material
assets of the nation-lands, houses,
mortgages, etc.
The 1857 constitution prohibited the
church from owning property, just as
the present constitution does. Never
theless, under the long dictatorship of
Porfirie Diaz (1S77-1911) most of the
laws curtailing the activities of the
church became ineffective. It is said
that property valued at many millions
is held for the church, even today, by
devoted catholics, who pass as the
owners in the eyes of the law. Bishop
Gillow of Oaxaca is understood to
have left a personal fortune of $780,
100000 at his death year ago. Bishop

$4O,000,000. Announcement by the

Mexican people could neither read nor
write. Instead of schools, churches
we're built. The money that should
have been devoted to educational pur-
poses went to enrich the clergy. What
elementary schools had existed in the
first years Of the Spanish period were
closed and education was restricted to
ecclesiastical training and the teach
ing OF the sons of the wealthy. 1t
was in this way that the church full
filed its function as schoolteacher
Yet when the government of President
Gales, which in three years has es-
tablished 1000 schools. insists on the
constitutional provision that education
must be secularized. the priesthood
has the audacity to inquire how the
Mexican people can be educated with
out the participation of the church!
Enough has been cited to prove be-
yond all doubt that for many years

the catholic church has been a vital
prop of the prevailing social order in
Mexico. Not only was the church a
big property owner and therefore d.
rectly interested in perpetuating the
semi-feudal system, but its hierarchi-
cal form of organization, its insistence
upon authority, ETC., made it the nat
ural handmaiden of the ruling classes,
to whom its higher officials were
bound by ties of blood and family in
timacy. It is, therefore, not to be won
dered at that the church in Mexico, as
everywhere else, has always distrusted
progress. eFr ar
The church continues to represent
the interests of the old landed aristoc-
racy. Its social basis is profoundly
reactionary. We shall see that its ac-
tivities are no less SO.

how much wealth was accumulated IL
legally by the catholic episcopate.
The Monsters TentaeIes.
The backbone of church organiza-
ton as far back as the colonial pc
riod lay in the 1913 parishes with
some $4,000 ecclesiastics; the 264 con-
vents with more than 5000 celibates;
the 157 missions with their many ex-
plotted Indian worshipers.
From the church radiated all feudal
authority in the villages and the
church controlled the most diverse ac-
tivities of the people. With forced
labor, temples were erected in every
community; with forced contributions
they were enriched to ostentation.
Ten per cent of the products Of the
land was for the church; the ground
had to be blessed by a priest before
sowing, professions and religious SER
vices were organized to pray for rain
in times of drought. Baptism imme-
diately after birth of a child, con
firmation shortly .afterward, meant its
conservation to the church.
The mass in the morning, the rosary
in the evening, confessions, commun-
ion, extreme JUNCTION, the benediction
OF the grave within a church cemetery,
kept the people well under the con
troll of the church, even after they
were dead. Even domestic animals
had to be taken to church once a year
to be blessed. The priest was pastor.
physician, chief OF police, school
teacher and judge. sr.
Where Ignorance Was Bliss
For Whom7
The church built upon the Ignorance
OF the Indian masses. For $50 years
the catholic hierarchy had complete
charge OF education in Mexico, and at
the end OF that time 80 per cent Of the
