His Err1inence's Request
"Antigone" Staged Under Direction of Father Bonn, With Greek Choruses by Prof. John L. Bonn Wins Commendaton of Harvard Pro-
 fessor-Cardinal Asks Repeat Performance.

An article by Louis J. A. Mer- cier, associate professor of French and education at Harvard uni versity, which appears in the cur rent issue of the Catholic review America praises highly the re- cent presentation at Boston Col lege, Boston, Mass, of the Greek tragedy "Antigone" by Sophocles. The play in its original form was presented at the college three weeks ago in an admirable set ting close by the Gothic buildings, by the college dramatic society directed by Rev John L. Bonn, s. J., instructor in the graduate school. The original music for the choruses written in the Greek mode were composed by Profes- sor John L. Bonn of this city. So successful was the presenta- tion that it was repeated last week at Weston college and was also given again as part of commence ment exercises this week at the request of his eminence, William Cardinal O'Connell of Boston.
 Professor Mercier writes: Greek tragedy has been called one of the miracles of the human mind. To produce "Antigone" as students of Boston College did, on May 21. as part of the celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of their college, was a miracle of circumstance. On it's athletic field of many acres, nest ling against blue sky, at the foot of rolling hill topped by graceful main tower of Gothic buildings a Greek stage could find an ap- propriate setting to make the most of the play actors had to be found suited to their roles and they were; while loud speak CTS, artfully concealed, could swell the voices of actors and chorus, and make the harmonies of the Greek verse reverberate to the topmost tiers of seats, as they had never done over the Pentelic marble of the theater of Diony- Sius."
 Professor Merciers article con- tinues in 8 description of "the glory of the Greek cadences," and he remarks later in his articles concerning the plays obvious suc- cess, but there is a lesson in it's astonishing success for all edu- cators. The great meaningful masterpieces are easier to stage than inferior, less convincing works because they nouriSh and sustain the actor. An obvious corallary is the remainder of the century,

How One S Attitude
Influences Sickness

One of the great advantages of
modern medicine is the fact that
treatment of these things is under
taken deliberately and consciously
instead of haphazardly. The old
fashioned doctor with the good bed
side manner, whose very presence
in the sickroom made you feel bet
ter, was unconsciously using psy-
chothcrapy and mental hygiene, but
since his day those specialties have
become scientific and have been put
on a rational basis. Their principles
are understood and they can be ap-
piled consciously for the patients
benefit.
Preventing mental i'll health has
become a movement with definite
objective for an increasingly large
number of informed people. Mem
tai hygiene assumes that mental
health and ill health actually exist
and can be understood. It assumes
that the distress of personality
struggling with an environment is
simply a struggle and not matter
of devils and witches, sin or orneri-
ness, nor yet a matter Of feeble in
tellect or feeble will. Mental hy-
giene further assumes, as DIR. Karl
Menninger said, that mental health
is attainable and our failure to at
tain it or retain it is to some extent
dependent upon our ignorance OF
general principles.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


]. w.: "What is the cause Of an
excess of uric acid in the system2
What foods are likely to be the
cause?"
Answer: Uric acid accumulates
in the system from food only. All
meats, especially liver and kidney,
contain it. The equity tendency
causes it to accumulate more rap
idly than in the normal body.

relevant to our problem" he re-
piled, from the story of Cain and
Abel EDWARDS"
"But isn't it conceivable that
something of the sort might have
happened here?"
Mgr. Smith turned to me. cit
is hard enough to find what actual
ly did happen without looking for
all the things that might have
happened. A dragon might have
flown in at the window and with
his tongue which is sword have
done the deed. A newly invented
balloon might have hung over the
house like cloud and lowered
the murderer to the window. A
man might have made a miracu-
lous leap to the window-sill, and
afterwards have projected himself
into the boughs Of a neighboring
elm tree. Or might have been
hiding all the evening under the
bed, and have changed myself
into a rat on your approach. Yet
it is not very helpful either for
me or for DR.. Tate to invent these
sensational hypothesis"
"You do know then," I said
with some relief, what really did
happen. and who is guilty."
I was waiting breathlessly for
his answer when he suddenly
caught my arm, and we stopped.
There was a slope of the downs
above us, and it's outline was as
smooth and distinct as that of a
dome. There was clump of
trees bent by many years of wind,
and maintaining their distracted
lives in spite of it. can see their
shape and the edge of the hill to
this day, for there was one detail
in that silhouette which made it
memorable to me.
It was such a detail as my COM
panion liked, and of the kind to
which he was accustomed. Black
against the oyster-blue sky of
dusk were two figures, a tall and
a shorter one. It was not only
their position against the sky
which made them look black,
their clothes were black, too, and
there was something fluttering
about the smaller one. I started.
What were those Imply Tapping
things at the mans side, which
hung now close against him, now
rising fiippantly in the breeze +?
Could they be -.
But in a moment T told myself
not to be a fool. There was moth
ing unnatural about the mans
outline. It's Tapping appearance
was produced by black Inver-
ness cape. and having realized
that, knew that it was the vicar.
Mgr. Smith blinked in the bland
and innocent way which I knew
concealed his most intelligent dis
coveries. He watched the two
coming down the hill toward the
Thurstons' house, holding the
crook of his umbrella with both
his hands. 7 was bewildered.
This morning I had, in company
with Lord Simon, seen three Of
the suspects, and he had told me
that his theory was complete.
This afternoon, on my walk with
M. Picon,, I had observed three
more, and he, too, had solved the
riddle. And now, in this madden
ing moment, here was Mgr. Smith,
blinking in his Enthusiastically
ominous way at the remaining
two. For the other figure was
recognizable by now as that Of
Stall.) So that really. after mo-
toring 80 miles or so, walking
eight, and standing in a chilly
breeze staring at the outline of
the downs, was no nearer to the
truth than I had been last night.
