CHURCH Head
RAPS HOOVER
ON MESSAGE
Catholic Secretary
Takes Exception
To Action

WASHINGTON. Oct. 14-E-
Language chosen by President Hoo
yer In a message to American
Lutherans for the anniversary this
month of the protestant reforma-
ton has brought denunciation from
a Catholic source.
Father John j. Burke. secretary
of the National Catholic Welfare
conference issued a statement last
night asserting Mr.. Hoover had
clearly violated "the spirit IL not
the letter OF his oath OF office" In
a brief greeting the chief executive
wrote for the American Lutheran,
a church publication.
Immediate answer came from the
presidents secretary, George Aker-
son.
ANY such suggestion or implica-
ton IS that made by Father Burke"
he said. "is an injustice both to the
presidents own sentiments and the
complete religious tolerance he has
always felt and has always ad-
vccated both publicly and private
ly."
Father Burke said the president
had insulted millions OF Americans
but held 1t more important that
he had congratulated one parti-
cular religious body ION the changes
IL introduced from older concep-
tons Of religion and government.
The Message
The presidents message was:
Il send cordial greetings 10 the
Americans OF Lutheran faith who
are celebrating on October 3ist the
anniversary Of the protestant re-
formation and the 400th. anniver-
sary OF the reading OF the Augs-
burg confession. from which date
SO many OF the changes in point
OF view from older conceptions
both OF religion and government.
The effects OF these historical
events r reflected in our national
life and institutions. In religion
through the predominant numbers
OF adherents TO protestant faiths
and in government through the
principle Of separation of church
and state. II Is fitting that we
should commemorate the persons
and events from which mighty
forces have sprung"
Father Burke said 10 was entirely
proper for the President 10 send "a
message Of congratulation on the
civic work done by Americans OF
the Lutheran faith"
Oath Violated?
But, he added. In the actua:
message which President Hoover
sent to them. for the celebration OF
Reformation Sunday, the President
clearly violates the spirit If not the
letter Of his oath Of office as Pres
ident Of the United States"
He questioned the historical ac-
curacy OF the Presidents utterance
also. asserting:
Luther was not a champion o.
the separation OF church and state
but a most arbitrary defender ~
state absolutism.'
1T does matter very much" he
concluded, Ito the whole ~constitu-
tional structure Of our country. and
Its institutions. that the President
OF all the people. who is called by
virtue OF his office TO respect the
religious rights OF all. conFratulates
one particular religious body or
the changes II introduced from
older conceptions OF religion and
government, and declares that We
as q nation should commemorate
the Protestant persons and the
events from which these mighty
forces shaping our country have
sprung"

advantage Of this opportunity to
learn cooking from an expert is ex-
tended by The Herald.
Attendance at the school is alb
solutely free and without any OBJ
legation. The school is bzirg put
on by The Herald in the belief that
by such means it can offer to its
women readers a service which will
be appreciated and found OF much
practical value in their everyday
lives.
Mrs. Ihrig will give five lectures,
each OF them a complete unit in
itself, treating of The various
branches of cookery and the inter-
esting problems pertaining to each
OF item. Those ATTENDING each one
will. Of course. get the most bene-
fit from the program. Lectures are
TO be given each day from Mon
day to Friday, from 2:3O to 5 D. m.
Mrs. Ihrig Is widely known
through the pages of national wo-
mems magazines. as well as through
connections at various times with
standard food products COMPANIES
Her qualifications are such that
any woman interested in cookery
can scarcely afford to miss the per-
sonal presentation through lecture
and demonstration of expert cult
nary technique.
The two cooking schools previ-
ously sponsored by The Herald
met with a wide response, not only
in Brownsville. but throughout the
Valley, and interest is expected 10
be even greater this year.

MANY times a child has every

still is dissatisfied. This may not be
the youngsters fault. Often it is due
to condition easily corrected.
Take the experience of Mrs. S.

to please Margaret. She was fretful,
feverish, suffered a lot from colds.
She was constipated.
Mother told me about California

Mothers by thousands praise this

love it. Doctors recommend it to
relieve constipation, feverishness,
fretfulness, headaches; to open the
bowels in colds or chldren's ailments.
Appetite is increased by the use of
California Fig Syrup; breath is sweet

For your protection, the genuine
