PAPAL POLICY BANS
POLITICAL RIVALRY
Vatican Statement Advises
Catholics to Uphold
Civil Regimes.
By the Associated Press.

ROME, May 2S.-The Pope has
spoken clearly and definitely on a sub
ject of vital importance to the polit-
ical life of Italy, France and Mexico,
as we'll as the United States, namely,
on the Holy Sees attitude toward the
relations Of Catholic individuals and
organizations with civil authority.
In letter, approving the new status
of ''the Federation Of Italian Catholic
Men," addressed by Cardinal Gasparri.
papal secretary of state, to the head
of the organization, the Pope defines
the function Of Catholics in social life
as defense in spreading the practical
application of Christian principles,
while maintaining themselves above
political competitions"
Catholics. the pontiff adds, should
promote eff1caciously the interests of
religion not less than public we'll
being"
Interpreted by Editor.
Interpreting the Pope's definition,
Count Dele Tore, editor of Osserva-
tore Romano and authoritative spokes-
man for the Holy See, asserts that
this task entails political activity only
to the extent that 1t urges recognition
in spirit and discipline by govern
ments in their laws and codes of re-
ligious virtues.
mo one who loves religion, family,
fatherland, liberty and the principle
of authority, order and progress can
object to this" he says. "The
church sees in the legitimately con-
stituted powers the guarantee of
civil society and Of order and disci-
pline.
Adhesion to Civil Regimes.
"While prudently and tirelessly
working to make them closer. more
adherent, more inspired by Christian
thought and laws" he continues,
Catholics must never lose the sense
in every case of unequivocal adhe-
sion, respect and obedience to the
civil regimes, the political system Of
governments. Obedience to the laws
and authority Is a primordial affirma-
tion."
The Osservatore Romano expresses
pride that good Catholic" can be
considered synonymous with good
citizen" Apparently referring to the
situation in Italy, 1t mentions the
Catholics "loyal submission every
where, at all times. to the public
powers. above all party currents"

WILKINS ATTEMPTS
NEW ARCT|CFL|GHT
Explorer Starts for Point
Barrow With Prospect OF
Hop to Greenland.
By the Associated Press.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 2S.-A
new Arctic expedition was begun to-
day when Capt. Gorge H. wilkins.
Australian explorer. and Alger Gra-
ham, Detroit aviator, took off by air.
plane for Point Barrow, northern.
most tip of the American continent.
Thence they planned to fly across
the Arctic uneXplored region north
of the American continent, in the
hope Of reaching Grantland or Green
land, far to the north and east.
Their heavily loaded plane. the De-
troit News II, failed to rise on the
first attempt. but the second time it
scared northwest in the direction of
the Brooks Range. A large store OF
fuel and supplies awaits them at
Point Barrow.
1t is more than 1000 miles by air.
line from Barrow to Greenland, and
wilkins and Graham face the pros
pect Of spending the Summer on the
ice and walking out if their plane Is
forced down. e
Has Dual Objective.
wilkins proposed hop to Greenland
has dual objective. He hopes to be
able to determine whether the. tabled
Arctic continent exists. He also will
gather meteorological and other scien.
tific data, which may be of value In
future Arctic aviation.
From Barrow Wilkins has laid out
an uncharted course through the fogs
over the polar ice pack. The route
has never been traversed by man,
p1fhnttnh 1a,Nkc aud Axs IN n
direction from Point Barrow each
Spring.
The northward exodus Of the birds
commenced several weeks ago, and
Wilkins hopes to follow the birds
to solve the enigma of their destina-
ton. Because of the lateness of the
season and the fogs which shroud the
Arctic with the coming of the Spring
thaw, wilkins take-off over the
Arctic may be delayed.
Will Grasp Opportunity.
When he left here, he planned to
make his dash into the unknown at
the first favorable opportunity.
The route chosen from Barrow to-
ward Greenland is between territory
explored by previous Arctic expedi-
tions working northward from the
American continent by dog sled and
the route traversed by Capt. Roald
Amundsen in his dirigible, the Norge,
in its flight from Spitzbergen to Teller,
Alaska.
During wilkins previous flights
over the Arctic he demonstrated that
it was possible for his plane to alight
on the ice and take off again undam-
aged. His plane, Detroit News No. /,
was abandoned in the ice 70 miles
froom shore when 1t ran out of gaso.

Even Bearings Are Wood
Most. of the rural grist mills
built prior to 1859 were equipped
with wooden machinery entirely.
Wheels, axle-shafts, bearings and
all incidental machinery were
made of wood. Being by vocation
millwright in that day meant
that the workman qualifying in
that trade must have the ability
to build milling equipment en-
tirely of wood.
Hickory and maple were proba-
bly, most widely used for making
machinery. Gum-wood was used
in the making of some of the
smaller and more intricate cog
wheels and dogs" this wood be-
ing highly impervious to splitting
and warping.
Of course, had this machinery

shape for cogs. Series of these
wheels would be erected where
needed in the mill for the trans
mission.of power. They meshed
exactly and there are cases on
record where wooden eogwheels
lasted for as long as so years in
practically constant operation.
TaIlow as Lubricant
Various forms of lubricant were
used, but sleeps tallow seems to
have been the most favored lubri-
cant for wooden machinery. The
continued use of this lubricant in
cogs and in bearings resulted after
years Of use in the wooden parts
becoming almost impervious to
wear and time.
The wooden machinery in some
of these antiquated mills is today
in good condition, still shining
and solid. just as it was when
some long-dead millwright shut
off the power half a century ago.
Men living today, who, as
young men and boys. worked
around mills powered by wooden
machinery say that the wooden
cogs, when in operation, had a
tune all their own-a soft, sooth-
ing sort of rhythm that made
working about the dusty hoppers
and beneath the creaking shafts
a pleasure rather than a task.
Millers usually gained their pay
from tithes. That is, patron of
the mill gave the miller one
bushel out of every 1G ground.
The fall and decline of the COM
munity grist mill in this district
began with the starting of the
present great milling industries in
the northern middle west.
Today little but memories re-
main of a once colorful and profit
able industry-and the few an
eient mills that struggle valiantIy
on are as much an anachronism
as the one-horse shay.
