PRIESTS PLEASED
 WITH ATTENDANCE
NOvena at St Francis Church Continues to At-
 tract Big Crowds
WASHINGTON HILL

Despite, the indictment weather this morning the crowds attending the masses at St Francis church were just as large as in the past few days. The novena which will continue for the remainder of the week is proving to be one of the best attended in recent years. The missionary fathers last night urged the people to go to confession early and despite the fact that confessions did not start until Mon- day evening hundreds have receiv- ed communion at the masses yes- terday and this morning. The 5:3O and S:3O o'clock masses which are the novena masses were crowded this morning and the at- tendance at the other two masses was also gratifying.
 Last night Father Mathews, who spoke in the upper church urged the people to keep up the good work until the conclusion of the novena. The sermon last night was on the Sacrament of Pennace'' and the priest told how our Lord had given the priest the power to hear a sinners confession and to give him pennace for his sins.
 The novena will continue until next Tuesday morning when the forty hours devotion will bring it to a close. Services. every night will be at 7:15 in the upper church and 7:30 in the basement. Con- fessions will be heard every morn- ing after the 5:30 and 8;30 o'clock masses and in the afternoon and also after the services in the even ing.

 In conclusion, I may point with pride to the part the Irish played in the formation and cultivation of this great land of ours. Without en- croaching on the pages of this esteemed paper, I beg to ask for space to summarize a few comments in support of my foregone conclusions:

JEREMIAH SMITH DIED YESTERDAY
 AT CAMBRIDGE
Could Have Been Secre- tary of Treasury If
 Health Permitted

Cambridge, Mass, March 13.- (UP)-Jeremiah Smith, Jr, 65, internationally-known for his work in the postwar financial rehabili- tation of Hungary, died of a chronic circulatory ailment at his home here yesterday. A shrewd Yankee lawyer, he not only served Hungary undenr appointment of the League of Nations as commits sioner-general, but also aided in organizing the Chinese consortium and showed the Mexican govern- ment how to adjust its national debt. Acclaimed by the Hungari- an parliament as "the Savior of our country" Smith refused I preferred decoration and requested that the $6O,000 due him for his two years work be turned back to the government. In 1893. President Roosevelt offered him the post of secretary of the treas- ury, but Smith already was af- flicted with the illness which was to take his life, and was obliged to decline.
 Smith was born ln Dovern, N. H., January IA, 1870, son of Jere- miah and Hannah (Webster) Smith. His great-grandfathc was once governor of New Hamp- shire. He attended Phillips Ex- eter academy and graduated from Harvard in 1892. later practicing law in Boston, where he was a member of the firm of Herrick, Smith, Donald & Farley. During the World war Smith served over- seas as captain in the quarter master corps under Gen Charles F. Dawes. In the peace negotiations at Paris he acted as counsel for the treasury and financial adviser to the American peace mission, Since 1927 he had been a member of the Harvard corporation. A bachelor. he leaves no near rela- tives.

Of all the events in Ireland's history there is nothing that left such an indellible impress sion in the minds of the Irish people as the teachings of St Patrick during his twenty eight years of missionary work within tbe shores of Ireland. Ireland was not the only coun- try to profit by Gods. teachings spelled by, St Patrick as his seats of learning produced missionary students for gospel work in many foreign lands. Historians have differed slightly as to the birthplace of St Patrick, but they all have come to a final mutual conclu- sion as to the date of his birth-about the year S73.
 At the age of sixteen, he was as history tells us, taken by force from his homeland, Brittany in France, and sold as a slave to tread the black ravines of the hillsides of western Ireland. It is safe to state St. Patrick's Day did not originate at this date nor at the date of his landing in Ire land In the year 389.
 Year of 40O
 Seven years of captivity in pagan Ireland planted in the heart of St Patrick that fear and love of God and as years rolled by that fear and love forced him to visit Ireland again in tho year 432 to conn plete Gods work in planting the seeds of Catholicity and Christianity in the soil of holy Ireland. The sad but eventful year 46O brought to close the glorious work of one of Gods greatest missionaries-St Pat rick.
 Ireland, at this date, realiz- ing the great blessings be- slowed on them through the workings of St Patrick pro- claimed the day as a national holy day and has kept 1t sacred through all those past centuries and will hold 1t sacred till the wheel of time turns its last revolution.
 Assuming these historical assertions are within the cir cle of accuracy, we are to-day celebrating the 1875 anniver- sary of st Patrick's Day. Of all dominant personalities of worlds history through all ages, none held higher sphere in the Christian world than did St Patrick.
 It may be of interest to the readers of this article to know that St Patrick's Day this year will be celebrated in the good old Irish style in our : own city. From your own doorstep you can witness a true silnile of St Patrick's Day in all cities, towns and ham, lets in Ireland. The process sion may lack the display of the shamrock to some extent, but the notes of the good old, Irish music will ring in your ears.
