ROME INTERPRETs NEWS.
Considers Catholic Church viii Lose
Privileged Position.

BY Gable to The Star.
ROME, Italy, April 18.LThe latest
news from Spain, to the effect that the
new Republican government will eStab-
lish equality of religious SectS and
liberty of conscience, is taken to mean
that the Catholic Church will lose its
privileged position.
The VSlican maintains an attitude of
complacency, but meanwhile is keeping
in constant touch with King Alfonso at
Paris and the Republicans at Madrid
in an attempt to check any anti-clerical
movement and sound out the possibili-
ties of the monarchy's restoration.
The present lineup of European ma
tionS, which is already badly scrambled,
has been still further complicated by
the revolution, Rome begins to realize
only too well.
Spain Seen as French Ally.
The possibility that Spain, which since
the World War has been extremely
friendly toward Italy, may now make
an about face and side with France on
international questions, is presaged by
the reported statement of the new
Spanish minister of finance, Indalecio
Prieto:
Democratic Spain will be much
better neighbor for France than
oEd1l, ESPECIALLY II C11SAC
should be incidents with Italy"
Senior Prieto, who is a sworn Socialist
and, therefore naturally unfriendiy to
Fascist Italy is also reported as saying
that the Republican government would
Immediately denounce the treaty Of
friendship with italy.
Calls Statements Incredible.
The Fascist press describes these
statements as incredible. Admitting
that SPANS internal affairs are her own
business, II Lavoro Fascista warns that,
IF, as in this instance, they wish to
violate deliberately the normal rules for
international relations and bring for
ward the question of international poll
tics, attacking relations with friendly
country with bad intentions, we must
not conceal the fact. but must call it
to the attention of our government and
competent authorities"
While there is strong reason to believe
that Spanish clerics deserted the
monarchy when they saw the republic
gaining, 1t also is no secret that the
Vatican is likewise worried by the out
come in Spain. 1t is notable that the
Jestlits removed all their archives to
Rome two weeks ago

Moreover, the monasteries and re-

Meanwhile. the Spanish government
defends itself against all accusation of
any anti-religious policy.

HOPE OF YULE CASH
-
Philadelphia City Workers
Look to New Year for

. Next Pay Roll.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, December 17.-Mu-
nicipal employees abandoned hope today
Of receiving their midmonth salary
checks in time for Christmas shopping
and looked forward to New Year day.
On that day the city expects to cash
the warrants which 1t intends to issne
in lieu of cash.
On the first of the year the city will
pay cash obligations due bondholders,
including the sinking fund, which will
receive approximately 100000. With
these funds the Sinking Fund Commits
sion plans to purchase long-term bonds
which the city now Is selling lover the
counter" The treasury thus will be
able to cash the pay warrants.
The city had asked the banks to pur-
chase now the bonds which the sink
ing fund will be able. to take after the
year end SO that with the proceeds the
$4,000 employees could be paid. The
bankers yesterday declined to purchase
the bonds. In letter to the council
they said that the purchase should not
be made, as it does not meet the real
and broader problems facing the city.
The letter said the bankers ARE,
however, willing to cooperate with the
city in an endeavor to formulate a pro-
gram to deal comprehensively with the
financial problems facing the city"
NO indication was given as to the
nature OF the proposed program.

a slave to money. If you do enter that
sort of slavery you will be serving

may give you the gold that you crave,
he may exact in return happiness,

possessions.
The woman is q slave to money who
refuses to spend freely where her health
is concerned. She is the woman who
will not rest because she may have to
sacrifice some part of her salary or
spend portion of the money which
she has saved. She is the woman who
refuses to have needed dental or surgi-
cal work done to save her money at the
cost of her health, if not her life.
Other women hoard and stint all of
their lives so that they may accumulate
money. Finally reaching dried-out old
age, they pass ON and their heirs enjoy
the fruits of the slavery. Other women
dress all Of their lives in dowdy clothes
and deny themselves common comforts
in their abject slavery to dollars. At
the end their money is a hooking trib-

An old-tirne style of afghan Is being
revived It belongs to the late Vic
torian period, and many were the odd
combinations of colors that were then
considered artistic Today the COM
binations may be as various, giving a
Kaleidoscope effect true to the earlier
afghans, or the same type of work can
be carried out to suit present-day styles.
The entire afghan or, in present par
lance, slumber robe, Is made of small
squares of crochet in shell stitch. The
squares are crocheted together with
black worsted, which stitchery forms
an inclosing outline for each section.
The squares are put together diagonally.
Edges of the afghan will require half
squares to fit into the triangular spaces
to make the shape regular. These half
squares may be of shells, but plain cro-
Chef is recommended. This. or regllla-
ton afghan stitch, is f1rTner than the
shell stitch and makes a preferable
edge. ALI around his triangular wedge
portion comes a fancy edge of shell
crochet to supply an ornamental finish.
The objection to the old-time afghanS
Of this sort is the motley color work
A certain design Is carried out in each
square, but this is minus color similar
ity. Fol" example, each square is grad
ed In tone from light or bright center
to dark edge, but this is regardless of
color similarity It is purely q matter
of shading. Odds and ends of yarn can
be thrifty used. They must be ar
tist'cally combined for any beauty.
Mo6srn afghans can use this scheme
Of small squares and have each square

of solid color but in varying tones. The
center of the afghan is then made Of a
diamond formed of nine squares as
shown in the illustration. Make these
the lightest tone. From this grade the
color in succeeding diamond-shaped
outlines to the outer edges. At each
corner there will be tria 1gle of dark
tone to complete the square or rec
tangular shape of the afghan.
This plan can be altered so that each
diamond of nine squares is made of
different tones of some chosen color
and these graded diamonds assembled
to form the entire afghan. A very deep
tone of the same color Is used to crochet
the sections together. A pattern can
be made Of numerous squares crocheted
together, and these squares be joined in
patchwork quilt style to form novelty
afghan. The picture gives a pattern
for an afghan of this sort that is fasci-
mating. It has been designed especially
for this article.

Everyday Psychology

This Jazz Age.

The mass psychologists tell us that
we are now In the heyday of the jazz
age. That we have reached its peak.
At least that's the hope of those mod
ern thinkers who love to call them
selves the intelligentsia.
This so-called Jazz age came in with
the late World War The world as a
whole sank back to a psychological
level popularity described by the term
"infantile"
The war period exalted youth and all
the want of responsibility that went
with It, Intelligence, individual and
social, was measured only by an in
ability to understand the world In which
we found ourselves. Inexperience was
the ruler; magic and luck its avowed
landmarks.
Perhaps that's why institutions of
learning, great and small, have been
running a race to enthrone youth and
inexperience in the chairs Of their
presidencies At least that is what the
aging professors imagine and painfully
surmiSe.
The hopefuls among the social phi
loSophers say that We are beginning to
emerge; that youth is again growing
into adolescence, and maturity seems
to be around the corner.
Economically speaking, the present
depression was inevitable, and eco
nomic sanity, the natural by-product
Of experience, is also inevitable.
Perhaps we are still too close to the
infantile to Understand this jazz age.
The inexperience, ignorance and ire
Sponibility Of any age are hard to alb
sorb. But other jazz ages have come
