members might 60 home for next weeks
carnival festivals.
There has been considerable specula-
ton as to whether the Nationalist, who
bolted the Reics1stag early this week
with the National Socialists, will re-
sumo their seatg when the Parliament
reconvenes.
It Is understood that within the Ma
tionalist ranks q spirited contest has
arisen over that issue. Representatives
Of the agrarian interests are anxious
for resumption because the agricul-
tural ministry budget comes up for dis
cussion soon and they believe their
constituents would not understand why
their representatives did not appear for
o debate so vital to their interests.
The National Socialists left the way
open for their RETURN. but it does net
SEEM likely they will come back on the
18th For the present this has no para
mount significancn. but should they
continue to remain absent difficulties
will arise every time measure comes
up requiring the presence Of two-thirds
of the house.
The government and its supporters,
however. refuse to worry about stu
alton so problematicai.

LATROBE, Pa, February 14.-Faced
toward the Allegheny Mountains in a
setting pleasantly pastoral, statue of
BonifacS WINNER, first Arch Abbott Of
st. Vincent Arch Abbey and founder
of the Order of st. Benedict in the
United States, will be mounted this
Spring.
The statue Of Father WINNER, In
bronze. weighing $500 pounds and
standing liz feet high, is the work OF
Ferdinando 6eeboeck, VienneSe Sculp-
tor living in Rome. It has been ship
ped here from Rome and will be placed
In front Of the Arch Abbey Church.
The monastery was founded in a
one-story brick school house, and at
first there were four students and IA
lay brothers. Now there are nearly a
score Of buildings.
In ore of the first buildings con-
6tructed by Father WINNER and. his
monks the fathers live today, their
manner Of living probably as monas-
tic as was that OF the monks of the
Middle Ages
There was a strange contact between
the somber monaStic life and the mod
ern surroundings Of st. Vincent Col
lege, where may be heard the moaning
Of q saxophone and the basket ball
referees Shril whistle. But stepping
from the wings housing the college into
the monastery one shuts out all such
worldly sounds and seemingly is trans
ported to another era.
Within the monastery conversation
u conducted In undertones, and there
the foot Of woman never has trod.
