Old Belief Rented

The story of finding a live fish or
frog In the stomach of person has
always been popular, though without
any foundation Of fact. Occasional
ly, however, cases have appeared in
scientific literature in which fish ac-
tually have been swallowed or inhaled.
On the coast Of France, Italy and
India, a fisherman sometimes holds
live fish between his teeth while bait
ing hook, and, inadvertently open
ing his mouth, has let the fish slip
back into his throat. In such a case,
death from strangulation follows I'M
less medical attention is secured in
time, says a report in Hygela Maya
zine.

Superstitions Lasting

The black cat superstition is a d.
rect descendant of the days when the
cat was wOrshiped in Egypt. Some
years ago the swastlca swept the coun-
try as lucky emblem. AS basic
form Of design, 1t was known in the
Orient thousands Of years ago, and
recent excavations have disclosed that
1t was similarly used as a religious
ornament by the Mayas and Incas of
Central and South America hundreds
of years before Columbus discovered
America. AS lucky emblem 1t was
based on oriental legends, where 1t
has played part in religious worship
for centuries.

Clever Judge

Not all Englishmen drop thei his"
To many of them such clipped words
as "'ot" and "'ouse" sound as IN
pleasant as they do to US. The story
is told that on one occasion a case
having to do with horse was being
tried before Judge Darling, and the
plaintiffs attorney kept referring to
the animal as "orse."
Justice Darling stood 1t as long as
he could, then he said: mfr. x, was
the animal large horse or a little

Then, Mr.. X, for the remainder
Of the case let US call 1t a pony"

A long-lost manuscript that tells
OF the beginnings Of the present
method of beekeeping has been redis-
covered and added to the library of
Cornell university. II is the journal
Of Rev. L. L. Langstroth, who in 1852
invented the type Of beehive which
has become the foundation of present
day scientific Bookkeeping. He made
daily entries in this journal for As
years. After his death in 1893 1t was
lost, and 1t was only recently found
In forgotten attic. 1t is regarded
as the most valuable possession Of the
beekeeping library of the university.

There is no scientific ground for the
legend that a swan sings beautifully
just before 1t dies. No swan ever
makes any sound which resembles
singing unless 1t is the so-called whis-
Ting swan of Iceland. According to
Greek mythology, Apollo, the god of
music, passed into a swan. Swan
song is now popularity applied to a
last or dying work, such as that OF a
poet, artist or oser-Pathfinder

'MIGS' CHAMPIONS
 AT TWO SCHOOLS
Wendler Wins at Northend and
 MarciencZyk at Bartlett

A former Springfield. Mass. school champion. Louis Wendler of I227 Glen street. became champion of the Northend school in the games played there yesterday afternoon and will take part in the inter- school games at Willow Brook park Saturday morning. Wendler was champion of the Sacred Heart school in Springfield in 1926. He had a hard battle winning his lau- rels for among the contestants was a former Northend school cham pion, Robert Manfredi, who pushed him hard for the title. as did Ed ward Gennette, Dominic Rich and Amanda Gasoline.
 The championship at the Bartlett school was also determined yester- day afternoon, the winner being Edward Mancienczyk, 12 years old, of 35 Horace street. There was a large gallery at the Bartlett school. the spectators draping themselves all over the fire escapes until dis lodged by Officer William O'Mara. Some of the Bartlett games were very we'll played. Francis Zliczewski, John Alagna and Fernando Marotti. all semi tnalists, showing consider able skill. but Marcienczyk elm- mated them all with tricky left hand shot and therefore will repre- sent his school in the inter- school games.
 The ring at Willow Brook park was inspected this morning and seems to be in excellent shape for the inter- school games on Saturday in spite of the recent rains. The games which were scheduled for the Lincoln school on Monday afternoon were postponed on account of rain and are being played there this afternoon. Weather permitting. , games will be played for the school championships at the Camp and ! Rockwell schools Thursday after noon and at the Levi Q. Smith school on Friday afternoon.

POPE OPENS WAR
 0N IMMORAL BOOKS
Calls on Bishops to Aid Him
 in Crusade

Rome, May II R-War against novels short stories. dramas, com- edies and pictures favoring sensual passions and certain type of las civious mysticism" has been start ed by the supreme sacred congre- gation of the sacred office carrying out the wishes of Pope Plus.
 The pontiff's stand against inn moral publications Is in line with his recent denunciations of i'm modest dress and immoral customs. and ecclesiastical circles interpret 1t as emphasizing his desire to have the Church of Rome lead the world away from the moral laxity that came as an aftermath of the Great war.
 Following the pope's petition to all the bishops of the Roman Cath 1olic church to cooperate in sup pressing immoral books. the su preme sacred congregation sent to the bishops definite instructions for carrying out the campaign. The Holy See, the document points out, Is mortified not alone by the great number of books dealing with sen- sual vices. but by the dissemination of publications which dare to justi- fy morbid sensuality by false re- ligious mysticism. shamelessly in- yoking God and religion.
 Ut is no wonder that the world, seeker as it Is of itself even to the point of despising God, should de- light in these books" the docu- ment adds, but it Is painful that writers. calling themselves Chris tians. should write them
 The new papal instructions are outlined as having a threefold pur- rose = to denounce the danger. especially to youth. of immoral books: to invoke the aid of the bishops and the diocesan clergy in reading and banning books, whose number is too great to permit de tailed examination by the authori- ties of the Holy See, and to im- press on Catholics that the read ing of evidently immoral books constitutes a mortal sin, regardless of whether these books have been expressly condemned by eccesias- tical authorities or placed on the list of forbidden books.
 Faith without good works ts dead" the document says, adding that because of the great frailtS of human nature and it's great ten dencies towards sensual pleasures. neither the splendor of the style of writing nor accurate psychologi- cal analysis based on modern theo- ries, nor the fact that punishment follows vice and remorse follows abandon can justify immoral books.

Porto Rico naturally does not fig

cause it is American territory. The
effect of American investments, how
ever, is much the same as far as the
masses of the people are concerned.
American loans in foreign countries
fall in two main classes. First, there
is the money loaned direct to govern

and municipal. Second, there is the
