FOUNDER OF Holy cross COlle2e In WOr-
cester, Rev. James Fitton; ordained in
Boston. assigned to a small parish near
Springfield, Mass; dead at 25.
Was Known as Scholar.
Father Power was known as
scholar He studied at Laval Uni
versity. Quebec; st. JoSeph'S Seminary,
Troy, N. Y. and Louvain university
in Belgium. His only obituary,
biography and eulogy was a short
poem written by a colleague after his
the diocesan newspaper in 1870.
Over his grave was placed stone
tablet In which was carved chalice,
symbolical of the gold chalice with
which he offered his masses on earth.
IT. was an old Irish custom, carving
chalice IN a priests stone and an old
Irish custom to dip the fingers in the
rain water that gathered in this chalice
and make the sign of the cross.
Out of the custom of praying at the
grave in Maiden came infrequent re-
ports of prayers answered and physical
Affections helped. Last month specific
claim of a cure was reported to cem-
etery officials and was brought to the
attention of Rev Patrick Walsh. pastor
of st. Joseph's Church, Maiden. in
which parish the cemetery is situated.
Father Walsh is also chaplain Of All
Souls Chapel In the cemetery.
Father Walsh asked parishionerS to
bring to his attention any facts in their
possession of cures reported at the
grave. This publication in Boston
newspapers of reported cures and the
traditional customs at the grave of
Father Power was followed by rush
of afflicted to the cemetery.
With no preparations to handle the
unexpected crowds women tainted,
damage was done to the cemetery and
traffic blockades occurred on the turn
pixies outside. Police were summoned
to cope with the situation.
An inadequate force was unable to
handle such crowds. Firemen volun-
teered their services on their free days.
Members of the Maiden Post of the
American Legion also volunteered. Gov.
Allen of Massachusetts sent State police
to aid and orderly procedure was es-
tabliShed
Pilgrimages Are Planned.
The grave was roped and fenced off.
Regular lines were formed to the grave
and the chapel. Special provisions were
made for the crippled. Group pilgrim
ages from distant points were formed.
Planned pilgrimages, for the Winter
months were announced to cemetery Of
nClalS from QlSJHIlJ OGAOcS. 1nutNAuudl
supplicants have come from the far
West and South and all this week were
still hobbling to the grave.
The reported cures have engaged the
attention of physicians, surgeons, pSy-
biologists and psychiatrists. In one
case, that of Miss Laura ]. Moody OF
Dorchester, Mass, who had been unable
to walk because of what her physician
termed a poker back" lengthy and
searching investigation Of the anthem
ITCHY of her reported cure has been
begun.
One of the most interesting seekers
of restored health who has visited the
grave of Father Power is the wife OF
Mayor ELECT Curley. She has been there
twice seeking relief from sickness which
has long made her an invalid. The
flrst time her husband accompanied her.
On Thursday, she again visited the
season, she again visited the grave, this
time unaccompanied.

other part of the house.
The remainder of the night and the
following day passed without incident
But that evening. as Alvaro read aloud
to Alexander. the latter interrupted
him. DO you hear that?" he asked.
Alvaro listened. The sound of horse
galloping down the road leading to the
ranch came. distinctly on the night air

complexion will improve so that you
will not need to use so much face pow

the shine off your face. Be sure to use
plenty of soap and warm water to
cleanse your skin at bedtime. Do not
make a practice of using powder until
you are older.

Brushing Aids Thin Thatch.

"In about six weeks I have lost from
100 to 174-16 pounds. My wife thinks
I should stop at no. and I agree with
her. But according to you 1 should
weigh around 1874, as my height Is 5
feet inches. OF course, If the weight
of my clothes, shoes, etc, was deducted
I would weigh less than TIA, probably
1853 or less.
What I want to know is if when
reach ITO pounds dressed. then eat
1910 calories a day (sedentary occupa-
ton. although I have to travel around
and inspect real estate), will that num-
Der of calories maintain me at ITO
pounds? AS I figure it, If / eat not
more than 2,310 calories day i should
not gain anything. For years weighed
1872, but after married 1 went up to
1913. Believe 1t or not I ate far more
when I was 1872 than I ate when I
gained up to 1893!
Your advice about brushing the hair
has helped mine greatly. 1t makes me
puff to do 1t 200 times without stop
ping, but I do it just the same. My
left arm Is sore right now. MIR. F.
If you get down to 1865 or ITO with

10 pounds above the average normal

Duelling was outlawed after Aaron

people who want to prohibit war.

Congress won't be able to stop any

between the sexes. This may be only

Winter Sorrow

When wintry tempests used to roar

and snow, and winds supremely cold

may seem severe to stall-fed jays" the
old men would remark; but in the
times when we were young, such
storms arrived, such winds were sprung
as left men frozen stark. Then temp
ests ragged for weeks on end until the
snowdrifts would ascend to most
prodigious heights: the cold would split
the toughest trees and water on the
stove would freeze, the storm king ragged
O. nights There are no Winters any
more, compared with those we had OF
yore, the climates lost its hold; and 1t
gives us grievous pain when PAM
pered delegates complain about the
trifling cold" Old boys are always
prone to tell about the Winters that
befell when they were young and hale;
about the record breaking snow that
happened 40 years ago, the most his
toric gale. But now they're sitting sad
and mute and say no word when
tempests boot around the Blue Front
store; for facts and figures-things
accurst--all prove this Winter was the
worst in so years or more. It's useless
trying to relate Of storms that doomed
they were outclassed by this years loud
and bitter blast, though records are a
bore. I'm sorry for the old sad men
who'll never have the chance again to
brag of bygone storms: the records
stare them in the face, and make the
briny teardrops chase. and wilt their
ancient forms. WALT MASON.
