 THE FATHERS
 or ST. SUFFICE
 Three hundred years ago in the parish of St. Sulpice in Paris, Father Jean-Jacques olier, who had given his life to the service of God after . miraculous restoration Of his sight, joined with two other priests of the city to establish the first com- Enunity of 9k. Sulplce. The society was to devote It's efforts exclusive ly to the training oi young men for the priesthood, The parish rectory was their first seminary but as the number og young seeking their inc struction and care rapidly grew. they were forced to seek larger accom-. modations and thus arose the mother seminary of all Sulpician seminarles, the Seminary of St. Sulpice in Issy, France. Today in many parts of France, an Canada, in the United States and In China, to the Fathers of SC. Sulpice is entrusted this tHe- mendously important work of the Church, the training of her priests.
 Practically unknown to our Amer ican Catholics the Fathers of St. Sulpice have been giving noble serv- ice to the American Church for the past i60 years. They do not become bishops, nor do they become pastors. Practically they remain lifelong seminarians because with their boys they spend their lives. When the flve-thirty bells rouses the seminary the Fathers flnd their way with the seminarians to the prayer hall for meditation. They have their living quarters with the boys. They recre- ate and study in the same hours. Masters of the spiritual life and rec knovned scholars. the priests of St, Sulp.ce have made an inestlmahie contyibution to the cause of religion in America.

'HThe upward trend in production costs continues to be reflected in fairly general price increases. Gains in prices during the past month are reported by 43 per cent of the bus- mess executives contributing to this survey as compared with q percent in the preceding month Pros duction ceilings have now been reached in many industries , Any further gains in production costs are therefore expected to be more fully reflected in higher prices for finished goods.
 l796 Increase
 Upward and downward move. ments, in wholesale prices presage similar movements, although usually less extreme, in retail prices and in cost of living gen- erally. The bureau of labor statistics index of wholesale prices. with 1926 as base of 100, was at TS0 in September, i940, ct 67.l in June io41, and was at 9i,6 on September i3, i94l. It seems ill- evitable that this increase of more than IT per cent in wholesale prices will continue to exert an upward pressure on retail prices.
 2. In connection with cost Of liv- ing, the suggestion is made that ex- penditures above maintenance plane of living are luxury buying.
 In 1887 the Works Progress Ad. ministration published figures te show the average cost In 50 cities of maintaining for year an un- skilled manual worker, his wife, and two children. The report says that the maintenance level of living rep resents normal or average minimum requirements for manual workers The man wears overalls at his work The family does not own an auto' mobile.
 "On the basis of prices in June loAl, 1t would cost from $i 300 to Si,- $50 to provide this annual budget in cities varying in price levels from 8 low in Mobile, Ala, to high ir New York, N. Y.
 ITO sugegst that this minimum maintenance budget represents ar adequate living standard for Amer. ican families Is to misunderstood the figures. In referring both to the maintenance budget and to the em- ergency budget at a slightly lower level, the report of the study says this:
 "Neither of these budgets ap- breaches the content of what may be considered a satisfactory Amer lean standard of living.

 3. That the salary cuts required of public employees during the de. precision years have nothing to dc with the current situation.
 Tt must be admitted that the onset of the depression created 6 crisis in public finance which, ir some instances, had to be met through salary reductions. The sacrifices made by public em. ployes at that time are directly related to the present problem Many public employees incurred debt and deprived themselves oi necessities from which they have not fully recovered. Furthermore their salaries when cut during the depression had been for years lag ging behind the wages of other employment. Even though by i94C the public salary level approached its pre-depression level there con-

When there aren't many housef1ies
around perhaps it is good time to
talk about those two winged insects.
We should need to travel a long dis
tance to find a person who likes
houseflies and perhaps at the end
Of our trip we'd come back without
having found such a person.
Yet certain things about house
flies are interesting. How does it
come about that a fly can crawl on
the ceiling? Why doesn't it tumble
down, as we might expect from the
laws Of gravity?
That has been something of a
puzzle and different answers have
been given. Men have studied the
feet Of flies through the microscope
and have seen small pads on them.
A bit of sticky moisture from the
feet may help the fly stay on the
ceiling.
Another way to answer the ques-
ton is this: The pads on a f1y's feet
may bring about a kind Of suction.
AS the feet press against the CELL
ing they may use the force of air
pressure to stay where they step.
In any case, a fly can do what
you and I cannot DO. 1t can walk
upside down.
Another question which has puz-
Eled some persons has been the skill
Of Z fly In landing on the ceiling.
The fly is right side up as it flies
along, but suddenly 1t gets to be

upside down. Just how does that
happen?
Perhaps some persons know the
answer, but certain scientists do not.
Only recently three British scien-
fists were "stumped" during radio
program when an R. A. F. pilot. in
playful mood, asked them:
How does a fly land on the CELL
ing? Does it loop the loop or turn
upside down before landing, or
What?"
The fact seems to be that flies do
not always make ceiling landings in
just the same way. Mr.. j. D. Alan,

ing flies as they landed on the
ceiling. and he reports:
Much patience is needed, because
the fly will not land where you want
it to land. Further, the touch
down or touchup is so fast that it
beats the eye.
THE least common landing is the
plain half loop. More often the plain
half roll Is used, and most common
OF all IS a double action which no
pilot should try to copy.
approaching the ceiling at high
speed, the fly does a right-angle
turn and skids sidewise. Then It
does half roll and lands on the
ceiling"
Mr.. Alan's ideas are interesting.

what happens. Perhaps some one

East and West could have made
game in either black suit, but
South's fine Jump to four hearts
prevented them from getting to-
gether. West was afraid to show
his clubs at the level of five and
couldn't support spades with only
jack-small. Even his decision to
double was fairly close, and. as 1t
turned out, losing venture.
West opened the jack of spades,
East played the queen to show COM
plete control of the suit and South
won with the ace. Apparently he
was doomed to lose spade, heart
and two diamonds. But South saw
that he might be able to make the
opponents guess badly.
At the second trick he led the
king of hearts and West took the
heart ace and returned his other
spade. East won and continued
spades, South rufflng high. South
then led hve rounds of trumps,
discarding two diamonds from
dummy as soon as possible. When
South's next -to-last trump was led
West was down to two clubs and
three diamonds and had to choose
another discard.
If he had given the matter in
telligent consideration he would
have seen that his partners opening
bid marked him with the ace OF
clubs and a club discard by West
was therefore quite safe. But West
had noted only that dummy had
discarded diamonds as though that
suit were quite unimportant. He
therefore discarded another dia-
mond himself.
That gave South his contract.
He cashed the diamond ace and
led another diamond, clearing the
suit. That allowed him to win the
last two tricks with the seven of
diamonds and his last trump.
