Benedictine Leader in Fruit Fly Fight (Continued From Page One) 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. (By N. C. W. C. News Service) 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.” Archabbot Stehle of St. Vincent’s III (By N. C. W. C. News Service) 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.

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. Noted Benedictine in Serious Condition in Pittsburgh ANOTHER ANGLICAN CONTORT (By N. C. W. C. News Service) LONDON.—An Anglican clergyman who won the Military Cross for gal lantry during the World War has been received into the Church at Heythrop College, Chipping Norton. He is Mr. Daniel Octavius Davies, who was ordained in the Anglican ministry only in 1928, and was curate at St. Mary’s Church, Ruabon, Den bighshire. (By N. C. W. C.

Aure lius Stehle, O.S.B., Archabbot of St. Vincent Archabbey, here; President of St. Vincent College, and Chancel lor of the Catholic University of Peking, China, suffered a nervous breakdown while attending the meet ing of directors of the Pontificial So ciety for the Propagation of the Faith, recently held in Cleveland, and is at present under the carfe of several eminent physicians in a Pittsburgh hospital. The Archabbot's zeal in doing the will of the Holy Father, Pope Pius XI, with regard to his Chancellor ship of the Catholic University of 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. (By N. C. W. C. News Service) 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.

CHINESE LET OWN HOMES BURN TO SAVE CHURCH! Mexican Beet Field Injustices Alleged K. of C. Official Alleges 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.
