Catholic ImformatiOn The voice that cannot
 be stilIed

From a building surrounded by the City of Rome is raised to the world time and again the voice of 8 single mana man who is spir- itual ruler of almost 0,OOO,0 Catholics-civil ruler of a few hundred subjects in 8 country of some 160 acres - the Vatican State.
 Often his voice is raised in benediction, in spiritual direction raised to fulfill the obligation im- posed upon his predecessor, the first pope, by the command of our Lord to St. Peter: Feed my lambs! Feed my sheep"-raised by authority of Him who said: "Who heareth you, heareth me-"
 No army or navy or air-fleet or submarines has the Holy Father. No forts or entrenchmentS or weapons of defense. Yet time and again his voice rings out, rebuk- ing warlords armed to the teeth deploring murder and persecution the robbing of man of his innate rights-censuring those who deny God, who make a god of the State, who make of their own race the elect of mankind.
 Again and again without fear or favor, the Voice of the Vatican is raised against the enslavement of the laboring man through exces- sive capitalism, the slaughter of the innocent through so-called mercy-killing, the crime against mans body through sterilization, the sin against God and nature through contraception, the threat against civilization through God- less education, the ruin to family and State through divorce.
 No matter how popular the sin or the error-no matter how threatening he is who is rebuked, the voice of the Vicar of Christ comes forth that he who has ears may hear, that the evil may be made manifest that men of good will may know and act and be saved.
 Peter, the first Pope, and many other Popes, raised their voices and were murdered. Our present Holy Father and his successors may suffer a like fate; but the Voice of the Papacy cannot be stilled; for that voice is the echo of another which 1900 years ago guaranteed its own perpetuity by the promise: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away" (Mark 13:3D.

Eisenhower's Plane Misses Turning Over

Tokyo, May 11-UP) - Undis- turbed when his plane narrowly missed turning over on its landing at Aasugi airport Gen. Dwight Eisen- hover spent his first day in Japan yesterday hearing reports on the AL lied Military Government.
 Eisenhower was imperiled momen- tarily when the C-54 in which he was flying from Shanghai swooped into the airstrip at an abnormal angle, touching its tail to the ground before the wheels settled down.
 The huge, four-engine craft was lighted by the pilot and came to a halt without damage.
 As the five-Star general stepped from the plane, he was greeted by his former boss. Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur. In 1909, Eisenhower, then lieutenant colonel, was MacAr- thurs chief of staff in the Philip pines.
 like, old boy, how are you?" Mac Arthur asked, shaking hands.
 Mac, how are you?" Eisenhower replied.

Wheat Bread Trade
 For Nylons Advocated
By GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Staff Writer

George Mardikian, nationally quoted San Francisco reStaurateur, urges all American women to help the starving in war-torn areas.
 By eating less wheat bread a day, you will be. saving lives of women and children who need wheat to survive" he says. And you can use the money saved to buy an extra pair of nylors."
 Mardikiap, on tour of the country to rouse Americans to the need for preventing starvation from breeding anarchy in Europe. reports that only about 20 per cent of American housewives have begun to follow the Famine Emergency Committees recommendations.
 "It's certainly not our fault that we must feed the tragically starv- ing of other countries. But it is our moral obligation" he believes. Hungry people know no law. We have to feed them, and certainly Americans can always find 8 way to do a necessary job. But we must get started quick"
 Local Color in Frozen Dinners

 Plant Peas on Paper First
 Garden specialists of the U. & Department of Agriculture suggest that everyone who intends to have garden this year make 8 definite plan, on paper, before starting any actual planting. Any woman who's ever made a dress knows how i'm portant the paper pattern is. She wouldn't think of cutting into s piece of cloth without one.
 The size of your garden plot will be governed by several fac- tors-the amount of land you have adjoining your, home, or the space you can get in . community gar den. plus the time you can give to gardening. Remember, it's bet. ter to have 8 small garden to which you can give good care than big one you eventually neglect.
 In other words, be realistic ir your garden-planning. If dad hal to take full care of the garden after working hours and on Saturdays a 90 by 5O-foot plot is about thu right size. This will supply thu average family, and probably vii give enough extra for more canning
 In a small garden, you shoulS consider carefully the food valu, of the vegetables you're going tx raise, and choose those that bes justify the space they require.
 Beans are a good choice, as ar' tomatoes. And you'll want leaf! vegetables like chard, kale, lettuc' and cabbage.
 | Carrots, beetS and onions CT, good additions. too.

Police Instructor !. AnaLyzes Accidents
It. Dwyer Expresses Opinion Few Drivers Ever Deliberately Cause Accidents; Many Influences at Work

Few, If any, drivers" says Lt William c. Dwyer, become involved in accidents intentionally; every one tries to avoid them" Their causes and how they can be avoid- ed is the topic this week of an ar- ticle by It. Dwyer the Police De- partment's safety instructor. In his weekly series of articles on traffic safety the officer Tets off little steam" with an article which puts a new slant on the safety angle.
 "The battle of man versus mach inc, like Old Man River, goes rolling along day and night with little ol no interruption " writes It. Dwyer
 "The casualty list, which is al- ways present, rises and falls in &C., cordance with the behavior of the mortal behind the wheel of the car Thousands of plans have been of- fered and put into practice in ar effort to eliminate the slaughter or the highways of the country. The mad pace continues in spite of a liberal use of Education, Engineer ing and Enforcement. The answer lies with the individual, in his will ingness to cooperate without pres- sure on the part of enforcement agencies.
 Few, if any, drivers become in- volved in accidents Intentionally; everyone tries to avoid them. But we are human, subject to mistakes at the wrong moment, possessors of idiosyncrasies which may be the basic cause of many automobile ac- cidentS. Let us turn back the pages of history for some sound advice and warning by the sages of old. It is equally applicable today as 1t was when given centuries ago. Concern ing death, which is not a pleasant subject to discuss, one of the Bis hops of France said: Strange weakness of human nature, that death is never really present to it, although presented on every side and in every shape" How true that is, yet nothing is more. unwelcome then the truth. During the past week we read a story stranger than fiction about 8 youth who sat in a prison electric chair ready to pay his debt for a crime committed against the state. The electric cur- rent was turned on, he quivered slightly, and then something went wrong with the apparatus. He was removed from the chair practically unharmed. How close he was to death. Yet we are all one step from eternity especially when we take to the highways.
 "Folks, let's face the facts, we place our life in jeopardy when we take to the highways. So please drive carefully, be prepared for emergencies, give the person on foot some consideration thereby doing your part in keeping down the &C., cident rate. You may stand in line for stockings, butter, etc., but there is no chance of getting another life, at least on this planet.

professor of psychology knows from years of specialized study:
 Women have come to me for 8 hat to make their dreams come true. Sometimes they do.) They have come to me in disappointment or grief, for hat to take their minds of their troubles. (1t often workeO. They have come for 8 hat to hold a husband. (This is more difficult, but possible) They have come for hat to catch 8 huS- band. (ThiS is easy).
 Being milliner is sometimes like being a doctor. I prescribe a hat covered. with pink roses to drive the blues away. I advise a daring hat for the woman who feels that she is in a rut and wants to get out. For the girl who wants to get her man, make a young inno- cent romantic hot, to make her look like flower.
 Behind every woman who buys hat there is a man-dreamed-up or real. :"
 LILY MAKES HATS LIVE
 So read Miss Dache'S wise and witty story of what a hat can do, and many times has done, for a woman-and see if hat-buying won't be more fun in the future than it has ever been before.
 And if you yourself go and come home with 8 flower garden atop your head at which your husband raises startled eyebrows, your an- swer to that is in the book, too.
 This designer of some of the most beautiful hats worn in America says, bluntly: q have no crystal ball and never have I studied palmistry-but I can tell your character by the way you buy a hat. When a woman comes in timidly and asks for something conservative, please II know she is afraid of her husband"

After her mothers death in Philadelphia, P&., in 1905, Miss Jarvis sug- gested a special church service for mothers, to be held in the church she had attended since childhOOd-the Andrews Meth Odist of Grafton, shown at right. This was done in 1907. Next year the first public Mothers Day services were held there and, simultaneously, in Philadelphia. In 1910 Gov.

STATE TAKES
CONTROL OF ES
Delaware, First State To Re-
sumo Employment Service
Control Since War
PREVIOUSLY FEDERAL

Delaware Tuesday became the
first state in the nation to take
back under state control the En-
ployment Service-which for the
past five years has been operated
as a federal office. The states
plan for operation of the U. S. EN-
ployment Service were approved
and the employment office will be
turned over to state officials by the
federal government on Saturday.
Albert Stetser, chairman execu-
tive director of the Delaware I'm
employment Compensation Com
mission which now includes the
state employment service, an
nounced the change-over. In NAM
ing Nov. 16 as the day for return
of the Employment Service to
state operation after five years
during which it had been lent to
the federal government, Mr.. Stet-
ser said: "The Congress of the
United States has chosen to return
to the states their employment SER
vice agencies. I accept and heart
lily concur in the verdict and pledge
the operation of the State En-
ployment Service in the spirit in
which all good citizens accept and
carry out the recommendations of
our Congress. This agency has
never failed to cooperate to pro-
mote the welfare of our state and
we shall continue to do so." A
letter from Robert c. Goodwin, di-
rector of the United States En-
ployment Service at Washington,
stated: "You are to be congratulat-
ed on receiving the first approved
plan and for the sound provisions
set forth in that document. The
proposed organization structure
and program statements are, in
our opinion, such as are best de-
signed to insure an effective en-
ployment service operation in your
state"
