Florida and an eradication campaign
is planed, the State will have, from
Father O’Neill’s report, a fairly de
finite idea of the kinds of plants
found in the wild growth of the pen
insula, and the amount in which each
is found. In an eradication campaign
it is necessary not only to destroy
the pest in cultivated plants, but also
in related plants in the wild growth.
Heading a party of five graduate
entomologists, four of them from the
University of Florida and one from
the: University of Mississippi, Father
O’Neill set out to ascertain as nearly
as possible the approximate number
of each kind of plant growing in the
peninsula of Florida.

NEW YORK.—His Eminence, Pat-
trick Cardinal Hayes, Archbishop of
New York, was welcomed home from
his ad limina visit to Rome by 225
prominent priests and laymen of New
York, at a dinner given by the Cath
olic Club of New York, in its Club
House. Cardinal Hayes was the prin
cipal speaker at the dinner, over
which Victor F. Ridder, president of
the club, presided.
The Cardinal stressed the need for
a keener realization of the place of
the Church in building an enduring
civilization, and urged members of
the club to rededicate themselves to
the faith.
The Cardinal said his message was
no new one, but rather the reaffir
mation of the necessity for realization
of the love of God, loyalty to the
Church and of love of fellowman and
country. These things are inter
twined, he declared, and one cannot
exist without the presence of the
other.
“I have seen the pyramids and the
land of the Pharaohs.” His Eminence
said. “I have looked into the eyes of
the Sphnix—but all of these things
are but ashes. Egypt had culture, it
had beauty and it had power. Once
I went to Athens. There are the ruins
of the Acropolis, the evidences of
learning and eloquence, beauty and
culture. Here again, all are ruins and
decay. Neither of these civilizations
had the spark of immortality.
“When you go to Rome, you feel
life—not necessarily noise and acti
vity, but life that draws on hearts
and minds and souls of many races,
that makes them come overseas to
kneel at the foot of Peter’s successor
in the Eternal City.”
All of the forty Cardinals who were
in Rome at the time of his visit, on
missions similar to his own, reported
increasing reverence for religion in
all countries, Cardinal Hayes said.
“We have passed, it seems, beyond
the anti-religious spirit so prevalent
in many countries, a few years ago,”
he added.
When he reported the progress of
the Church in New York, the Cardi
nal said His Holiness expressed his
happiness, and said: “Here is my
blessing—send it back to your Dio
cese and America.”
Cardinal Hayes expressed his hap
piness at being back in “dear little
and big New York” and complimented
the Catholic Club for its atmosphere
of fidelity, loyalty and sincerity. Its
standing had brought it near his
heart, he added.
“I would regret,’ ’he continued, “to
see its prestige and influence wane
in this vital moment of history, for
it has proved its influence for the
family, the home, dignity of the indi
vidual, for justice and right in charity
and the great struggle in the heart
of the nation to realize the great pur
pose of the founders of this republic.”

CHICAGO, 111.—The seventh annual
tv ational Catholic Interscholaslic
Basketball Tournament, held under
the auspices of Loyola University of
this city, will be held here March 19
to 23, inclusive, it has just been an
nounced. All games will be played in
the Loyola University Alumni Gym
nasium.
The tournament is strictly an invi
tation affair. Winners of the 13 af
filiated tournaments which determine
the champions in their respective
States and sections are invited auto
matically to represent their district.
Teams which have won State cham
pionships are invited, as are teams
that have achieved exceptional rec
ords. In those States where no af
filiated tournament has been organiz
ed the representative for entry are
considered for invitations, except that
those teams participating in affiliat
ed tournaments need not make ap
plication.
Numerous handsome prizes are
awarded in the tournament, and the
team winning the Cardinal Munde
lein Cup—the first grand prize—is re
garded as the National Catholic Bas
ketball Champion of the United
States.
More than 30 teams were entered in
the 1929 tournament, and almost 50,-
000 spectators witnessed the games, a
substantial increase over preceding
years. De La Salle Institute, Chi
cago, 111., won.
Chicago Loyola U.
Names Lay Council
Jesuit Fathers There An
nounce New Arrangement
(By N. C. W. C. News Sendee)
CHICAGO—A radical innovation in
the conduct and management of
Catholic educational institutions was
announced at a dinner held at the
Chicago Club at which an adminis
trative council composed entirely of
laymen was organized by the trustees
of Loyola University to supervise and
direct the business and financial ope
rations of that institution.
According to a statement made by
the Rev. Robert M. Kelley, S. J..
L.L.D., president, who presided at
the dinner, the action of the Loyola
trustees in thus setting up an admin
istrative board of laymen is unusual
in the management of Catholic col
leges and universities conducted by
members of Religious Orders in this
country. Because of the rapid growth
of Loyola, however, and the enormous
increase in its purely business affairs,
the Jesuit Fathers, who form its
faculty, have been impressed with the
need for sound business counsel and
guidance. The council appointed
last night, of which Col. Stuyvesant
Peabody, president of the Peabody
Coal Co., is chairman, will proceed
at once to the reorganization of the
fiscal structure of the university upon
the basis of modern methods of uni
versity management and direction.

Out-of-town work done on
short notice.
In order to do this, he divided the
State into 10 different habitats, or
plant societies. From 10 to 40 loca
tions widely scattered throughout the
j state were selected in the case of each
I haibtat. In each of these 10,000
I square feet were staked off, and every
| plant in the area was named and
j counted, except the grasses, which
| were estimated.
i In all, nearly 300 surveys were made
and approximately 1,000 kinds of spe
cies of plants were encountered.
About a quarter of a million plants
were counted in the entire survey.
The result of all this work will be
figures showing the average growth
per acre of any plant found in any
significant quantity in the peninsula
of the State.
Father O'Neill is compiling the re
sults of his surveys in the herbarium
of the Catholic University—a group
of rooms in one corner of the very top
floor of McMahon Hall. So secluded
is Father O'Neill’s headquarters, and
so close is his application to his work,
that few of those at the University
know of his presence or of the im
portant work in which he is engaged.
Father O’Neill is himself unwilling
to talk concerning the work, except
to give an outline of the task en
trusted to him and the manner in
which he undertook its solution. He
is, however, eloquent in his praise of
the heroic manner in which the offi-
eials_ and people of Florida met and
survived a real crisis, which, he de
clares, was of concern and importance
not to that State alone, but to the
whole country.
Before coming to St. Anselm’s
Priory here, Father O'Neill was at St.
Leo Abbey, St. Leo, Fla. He is a
native of Allentown, Pa.

LATROBE, Pa.—The Rt. Rev. Aure
lius Stehle, O.S.B., Archabbot of St.

of St. Vincent College, and Chancel
lor of the Catholic University of

breakdown while attending the meet
ing of directors of the Pontificial So
ciety for the Propagation of the

The Archabbot's zeal in doing the
will of the Holy Father, Pope Pius
XI, with regard to his Chancellor

Peking, and, at the same time, taking
care of the great many duties con
nected with the Superior’s position at
St. Vincent undoubtedly have been
the cause of his collapse, it is said.

MOUNT ANGEL, Ore.—One of the
most picturesque of all the missiona
ries working among the Indians of
Canada, Father Charles Moser, O. S.
B., is returning here soon, after thirty-
years among the Indians of the Can
adian West Coast. Father Charles, as
he is affectionately known to hun
dreds of Indians and others living in
the territory, has become famous in
his three decades in the north.
Since 1920 the retiring missionary
has been priest-in-charge of all mis
sions on the West Coast of Vancou
ver Island, B. C., with a territory ex
tending from Barkley Sound to Quat-
sino, a distance of approximately
300 miles. Although 56 years old,
Father Charles has remained extra
ordinarily active, traveling constant
ly between the missions of his terri
tory.
Through his travels he has become
famous and residents of the West
Coast, Protestants and Catholics alike,
as well as travelers on the steamers
on that route will miss the pictures
que figure in the weather beaten
old straw hat, or in gum boots and
oilskins. Father Charles, when tra
veling is more accustomed to the
latter garb, as his points of disem
barkation along the coast usually'
have necessitated reaching shore in
a native canoe, with a wet landing
almost a certainty-.
Crusading for his Faith has not
been the sole concern of the mis
sionary. He has held any number of
jobs. Among other things he lias
compiled a complete dictionary of the
Indian language; acted as returning
officer for elections; fulfilled the
duties of Shipping Master; built with
his own hands churches at Ehattisat,
Opitsat (Clayoquot Village), and
Port Alice, served as Postmaster at
Ivakawis; acted as Dominion Govern
ment telegraph agent since the West
Coast line was put through from Port
Alberni to Nootka in 1914; farmed
rather extensively at his headquart
ers at Christie’s School. Kakawis.
Clayoquct Sound; maintained a herd
of cattle for beef supply, butchering
his own beef, and dressing it; and
acting as medical advisor to Indians
on back trails, unable to get the ser
vices of doctors.
CHINESE LET OWN HOMES

Workers’ Wages Withheld
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
DENVER.—The plight of the Mexi-'
can and Spanish beet worker in Col
orado is becoming worse, with com
panies and growers holding back sal
aries and causing widespread discon
tent, according to a statement by
Thomas F. Mahony, of Longmont,
chairman of the K. of C. Mexican
Welfare Commitee.
“The present condition is unneces
sary and is being used to work an in
justice upon a helpless people,” Ma-
hony’s statement said. "Many of the
workers are leaving the country, not
to return; others will leave if they
can get away.”
The beet workers are paid on an
acreage and tonnage production basis
and according to Mahony are being
deprived of the money they have
earned because of technical clauses
in their contracts.
FUNING, Shina.-CN. C. W. C.
Fides)—Devotion to their church of
the Christians of Funing was beauti
fully demonstrated recently when a
fire broke out at midnight in two
nearby Christian homes. The church
was saved because a Chinese virgin
living in one of the houses, imme
diately upon discovering the flames
left her own residence to burn and
roused the Christians of the neigh
borhood to save the threatened sacred
edifice. The Christians- attacked the
fire desperately and with great per
sonal risk. One man on the roof fur
iously beating the flames was told
that his own house had caught fire.
“Never mind my house,” he shouted
“let’s save our church!”
Funing Vicariate is in care of Span
ish Dominicans who count over 30,000
Catholics.
