Rome.-Modern fashions for wo-
men were characterized as "an out
rage in every sense against human
and Christian dignity" by Pope Plus
in addressing 1000 Representatives of
the Federation of Catholic Men.
Emphasizing his displeasure over
the present modes, the pontiff urged
fathers to check their daughters and
wives irreverence and corruption as
expressed in immodest clothing.
The head of the Holy Roman Church
will not go far in opposing the vast
wave of feminine exposure that is
now giving the sons of God visions
more or less beautiful of beauty
unadorned." AS an early father of
the church once said in speaking of
women, "When her shift is removed,
her modesty is gone" We think it
has been removed. Women are now
well acquainted with the blessings
of brevity in garments. There are
only a few places remaining, covered

Occasions Which Make
Silence a Sacrament

There was whole world of wisdom

ages of faith ascribed to his Creator:
BE still then and know that l am

marked that no two men can DO said
to be truly friends unless they are con
tent to bask In each others company
without expression of words. There
are occasions when silence is the sac
rament Of faith and reverent Joy, the
seal and sign of a living union with
the infinite and confident fellowship
with our fellow man. 1t is In the
practice Of this silence that we learn
how to discipline life, and recognize
the profanity of the glib common
places of mere passing companionship,
Of formal religion and the useless vol
utility Of controversy. We refrain
from words because they are made
quate to express our experience, and
the gertrude of faith and confidence
surpasses the powers of speech. "rhe

that once while the train In which he

speed, the writer suddenly remem-
bered that he had box Of matches In
his bag They might become lighted,
and catch fire, or perhaps his papers
might burn, and the baggage Of other

VisibiLitY After Storms

The weather bureau says that high
visibility occurs on land Just before
storm, but the highest visibility oc-
ours just after certain storms. The
explanation of Increased visibility Just
before a storm is as follows: One OF
the things that spells visibility Is the
glare In the atmosphere, due to sun.
light scattered by dust between the
observer and the object In view. Now
when the sky becomes clouded, as II
does before storm, the sunshine Is
cut Off and with It the disturbing
glare. Immediately after many storms
the air is exceptionally free from light
scattering dust--washed out by the
rain and visibility is correspond
lngly good.

Daisy Queen of FLOWERS

Asked to name the queen Of flowers
the average person probably would
designate the rose. but the botanist
would do no such thing. To him the
stamens and plstils are the real flow
ers, and the petals, only the flowers
clothes. The makeup Of the rose and
all It's family shows an early stage In
flower development. The real queen Of
the flowers is the daisy. In the daisy
the botanIst finds the stages Of devel-
opment OF all other flowers. There are
about $50 flowers or norets on each
daisy. Even the white or plnk-tlpped
rays are not petals but whole flowers
and the yellow boss Of the shield con

ers, each making seed.
