POPE'S PLEA SEEN
:=ASFASC|ST PRAYER
Pontiff Believed Changing
From Critic to Compassion
ate Father Toward Party.

~ the Associated Press.
ROME, July 20-An address by Pope
Plus, in which he prayed for a miracle
that would make the blindest OF the
blind see," was interpreted today as
a reference to the Fascist party and as
an indication of a new and promising
spirit In the controversy b-tween the
church and the Italian government.
Il wss accepted in Rome that IN this
announcement the Pope had adopted
the attitude of a compassionate father
and had discarded the role OF reproving
critics.
In connection with this interpreta-
ton, it was pointed out that Premier
Mussolini's tone had been somewhat
Quieter lately so far as the church
controversy is concerned.
The Pope. in an address yesterday
celebrating the virtues of the venerable
Caterina Laboure. declared miracles
were greatly needed lin a moment when
the whole church suffers when its head
suffers which soTrows when its head
suffers, which is struck when one Of
Its most precious parts is struck"
Without Mentioning the FaSciSts by
name, the Pontiff prayed for a miracle
that the blind may see and that those
may see who do not hear, do not under
stand and do not comprehend This is
9 word of great compassion, because per-
hapS no one has taught them that of
which they are ignorant.
4. Perhaps they are not like us in
having the opportunity of knowing,
studying and approaching the truth
that We know"

The ten biggest news events of the
year 1880, according to Kent Cooper,
general manager of the Associated
Press, were: Andree, Coste and Bel
lonte, Bobby Jones, Gandhi, the Lind
bergh baby, the Columbus peniten-
tiary fire, the American drouht,
Planet x, King Carol, the Burning of
Dirgible R-101.
Selecting the ten biggest news
events of the year is like selecting
the ten most beautiful women or the
ten greatest paintings" says Mr..
Cooper in an interview published by
The American Magazine. "The
choice depends upon ones taste, en-
vironment, and emotional tendency.
Probably not one person in 10000
will agree with all the selections
have made. / believe, however,
that in any competently selected list
of ten, five of my choice would have

The nation is pessemistic. Every
one draws long face and talks about
bad business, bread lines, unemploy-
ment, and crime. Contrasted with
some other years 1880 has not been
a good year but when all is consider
ed it has not been as bad as painted.
It is but poor memory that can re-
call no other year in which similar or
even worse conditions prevailed.
The fact that at its beginning we had
seemingly fallen from the giddy
heights of an insecure prosperity to
the normal, and that following blind
leaders we had bumped against a
wall, means little in the long run. 1t
is not the physical result that counts
but the mental and spiritual lesson
that has been taught. Even the farm
er who has been visited by drought,
poor prices for his products and al
most every other depressing vicissi-
tude has come through in way and
has planted his crops and is looking
toward hopefully to another years
chances. The resourceful people. of
this great nation may be down but
they are not out. Dover, Del. Index.

Peasant Had Definite
If Peculiar Grievance

One Of the most familiar stories of
Athenian history is that Of Aristides
and the peasant, says an article in
Boston paper. The ancient Athenians
were just as human as any other peo-
pie of later times, despite our tend
ency to regard them as supermen.
Aristides, 1t will be remembered, was
great and good man whose policy
was opposed to that Of the brilliant
and INSCRIPTIONS Themistocles.
The deadlock between the two
leaders had to be broken by ostrac-
ism, which provided for the tempo
rary Punishment of the less popular
leader. A peasant accosted Aristides
and asked him to write the name Of
Aristides on his ballot. This was a
vote for Punishment and the leader
asked the peasant If Aristides had
ever injured him. "No," the man an
swered, "but am tired Of hearing
him called Aristides the just"

Great Conflicts That
Involved Whole World

We often call the last war the
World war. Actually there are others
that better deserve the title. Take
the Seven Years. war. That was rela-
lively In the Dark ages, SO far as
transportation and communication was
concerned. But the fighting more near
~ covered the entire globe than did
that Of the last conflict, which was
pretty well confined to Europe.
During the Seven Years. war not
only did men, as 1t has been said, fight
but the military and naval activities
OF the belligerents encircled the globe.
At the expense Of France the British
established their supremacy in North
America and their empire in India.
while they assailed on land and sea
the dominions Of Spain in America.
and in the Pacific.
Again, the wars growing out of the
French revolution and the Napoleonic
wars more nearly involved all of Eu-
rope than did the late war, to say
nothing of their fateful effects else

Where Time Takes ON
Some Puxxlinr Changes

Roughly along the 1S0th degree Of
longitude there is fixed what is called
the international date-line," and here
today and tomorrow actually meet each
other. If vessel were steaming from
the Fiji islands toward Samoa at II :55
p. m. on Monday night and crossed
the "date-line" ten minutes later 1t
would actually have the whole of Mon
day before it again, as the time would
then be five minutes after midnight
on the morning of the same day. Had
the ship been sailing in the opposite
direction, it would have approached
the "date-line" in the first few min
utes Of Monday, and, on crossing this
line, it would have started on new
day-Tuesday-and thus have lost an
entire day. So in this locality it Is
possible for yesterday to become to-
day in few seconds. or today to
change into tomorrow in the same
short space Of time.

Forty Per Cent Wasted

William Bennett Munro of Harvard
states that 40 per cent of every tax
dollar spent in the United States is
wasted. through unnecessary govern
mental activities, the shifting of re-
sponsibilities, duplication of activi-
ties and superfluous number of en-
,ployes. He points out that, in times
of stress, taxpayers are misled by
empty promises, and respond to ap-
peaIs to their feelings rather than
their intelligence
Probably every American commu-
nifty has had some experience with
wasteful government. Experiments
in business, retention of out-moded
methods and dislike of modern in
novations, political tia-these and
similar factors have cost American
taxpayers untold millions of dollars.
And they willNcost millions more, I'M
less the voting public demands that
government confine itself to the func-
ton of governing. Rigid govern
mental economy and efficacy would
be one Of the greatest aids to home
building, industrial development and
general progress.

Snow houses are unknown to the
Alaskan Eskimos, and in the Macken-
zie delta region such dwellings are
used only in emergencies.
The snow house has long been and
still is the winter habitation Of q
number Of Eskimo groups scattered
eastward from Coronation gulf to
Greenland. Even in that desolate re-
gion the snow house Is regularly In
hablted only when no other building
materials are available. Some of
these Eskimo hunters are, very adept
at constructing houses Of snow for
the temporary shelter Of their families
The Labrador Eskimos do not live In
snow houses, and out Of the $4,000
Eskimos in Greenland only few hum
bred living around Cape York ever
dwell in such shelters. Even among
these the more usual winter dwelling
consists of walls of earth or stone and
rafters of stone slabs or the large
bones Of animals.
It is supposed that the Eskimos are
descended from American aborigines
who gradually worked their way into
the Far North. Ancient ruins found
throughout the region where snow
houses are still regularly or occa-
sionally used indicate that the house
of stone. driftwood and whalebone is
older than the igloo or hemispherical
house built of blocks Of snow laid in
spiral courses.

SAVE YOUR EYES
BY DIR. j. Fred Andreae, Sec
State Board Optometry
ssThe Tired Eyes,

Just as all other organs and mus
cles of the body become exhausted
by exertion so do the powers of vision
become dulled from use and require
to be renewed by rest, and this is
more especially true if the light is
not of the natural color and quantity.
The needed rest may be afforded
to large extent by the manner in
which the eyes are used. 1t is ap-
parent from close observation by OBJ
tometrists that the eyes work togeth-
er in a rather peculiar manner, moi
both actively as one but each eye &C.
lively by turns, the other eye COM
ing to the support Of its fellow every
few moments to save each other
from exhaustion. AS very few
people have eyes which are equal in
visual power it is apparent that much
strain may result from this natural
alternating process of vision and
often it is necessary to have the eyes
properly balanced" with the need
ed glasses in order to obtain com.
Portable vision.
Entirely apart from this popularity,
however, the eyes may be rested
when engaged in reading, writing,
sewing or other close work by glanc-
ing up from the work and looking al
a distance every few moments thus
allowing the converging and accom-
modating muscles of the eyes to relax
and take on new strength tempo
rarily. If the eyes be closed a few
seconds now and then it will be
found that they will continue their
normal sensitiveness and activity for
longer working period. 1t is only
in recent years that eyes have been
required to do so much continued
work at short distances and as the
process of natural evolution is very
slow, eyes are not yet adapted to
such work. Rest 'The Tired Eyes. y

a means of self-defense, and offense.

So father said: BILLY, don't you

Honolulu Smokeless

Honolulu is smokeless city and
for that reason 1t is rated clean or
free from the smudge which has
married the structural appearance Of
New York and particularly Pitts
burgh. Except for the chimneys Of
the gas and electric plants there are
no chimneys in Honolulu. In the first
place heating systems are not needed
and the greater number of house
wives or servants use gas for cooking.
Some more cook outdoors and others
on a charcoal stove which does not
give out any smoke. This interesting
Hawaiian city, 1t was pointed out, IL
not a profitable field for painters.

Simple Meals Are Best

Families with limited income, as a
rule, do not need to be reminded
that simple meals are always best,
says the Bureau of Home Economics.
When the income is small most
adults as well as children will find
their appetites are satisfied with an
abundance of few foods rather than
little bit of several things.
You can follow your family food
guide, the bureau advises, if you
serve meat or fish three or four
times a week as the main dish for
dinner. Other days you may choose
cheese, baked beans or thick pea
or bean stew.
The meat allowance is small but its
flavor can be extended and the whole
meal made more palatable if vege-
tables are cooked with it. Other
ways in which this can be done are
by stuffing, making dumplings and
gravy, or by cooking the meat with
potatoes, rice or macaroni. The
Skillful use of onions, carrots, celery
and tomatoes in small amounts high
tens the flavor of stews and soups
while at the same time 1t adds to the
attractiveneSs of meals. You should
definitely plan to usepart of the
weekly allowance of vegetables for
this purpose.
Potatoes and one other vegetable
or fruit should be served every day
for dinner. Some days the vege-
tables may be served raw as salad.
Canned tomatoes, shredded cabbage,
grated carrots and turnips, sliced
onions, and many greens may be
eaten raw with salt or salad dressing.
They are delicious and more health
full raw than cooked. Then none OF
the mineral salts or vitamins are lost,
This also saves fuel cost
A dessert is not absolutely neces-
sary but adds interest and flavor to
the diet. Some inexpensive and
very good ones include bread, rice or
Indian pudding and shortcake made
with dried fruit.
