P.OTAEY AJTD itlllGluS The Vatican at- Rome ha3. altefred its 1 attitude toward P.ot&rr, and -frsftklj sayi that iedbtfs cf the Catholic clergy and laity &ay ispia membership in Rotary organizations An unfortunate misrepresentation of Rotary had been presented to the Holy See it being alleged that Rotary "inculcated religion without God." Perhaps Rotary leaders themselves were in a measure responsible for the misunderstanding, as it is the com mon habit of some of its speakers to refer to Rotary as "religion in busi ness," At any rate, the international pres- Ident of Rotary, I. D. Sulton. of Tam J. pico, Mexico, Journeyed to Rome, and in a personal interview with the Pope succeeded in convincing him very J. quickly and conclusively that Rotary is not being offered as a substitute J. ' for religion, even though some super J Rotarians seemingly attempt to make .J. it so. .J.J Mr. Sutton, incidentally, is a Cath .t.'olic, the first member of his faith to t. be made president of Rotary Inter S. national nnd he journeyed to Rome with a confident belief in his mind J. 'that he could correct this palpable i J- misrepresentation and misconception J- of the object and purpose of Rotary. J. That he succeeded in doing so is proof conclusive that no mistake was J- made in electing him to the presi- dency of the great organization. l Rotary is interested in promoting Jim good conduct and good will, but it is so far removed from religion it is sur J prising that there could have been J. any misconception about it. Had the Vatican authorities per- i J- sisted in their-attitude of opposition to Rotary International only evil l could come of it. Rotary, like similar J organizations is a living demonstia- . tion of practical tolerance and good I?..?, will between men of different creeds i - anil races ana Is nrt to be iigniiy condemned by any religious body on jthe ground that its viewpoint is ini micable to religious faith. The quick success which attended Mr. Sutton's personal call at the Vatican again illustrates the virtue of having the right man in the right place at the right time.

The truth is the cost is mount ing constantly. The figures for the first seven months of the fiscal year show an increase rf $ 1 Sf.,1 ::s..r70 etver the same montns ot tne pieced ing year. While there may not tie ; corresponding increase during the it mainder ef the year, it is estunatei at Washineton that the year v. il show a probable increase for the en tire period of about ten millions i month. During the first seven months, a : m. par if with the same pern u o last vear, there has. been a reduction of cost in the executive establishment and in the Depart n:iit of justice but in all other executive branch- the increase haV bVen found nees sary. This does not necessarily imply carelessness or extravagance, but may and probablv does measure the con- stunt increase in -,v l iitneni.tl a tivities. The President is said to l e that there is little chance for further reductions on this account. The only thing to be considered perhaps, is th possibility of curtail ing these activities. Old-fashioned statementship would be shocked at many of these. Perhaps the elimin ation of many of the paternalistic features would be advantageous and work no hardship. Certain it is that with corresponding increases, quite as easily defended, in state-and local governments, the time may come when taxation will require a curtail ment of some of the activities that are constantly adding burdens to the taxpayers. : o : FOOL PROOF AIRCRAFT Probably it is going altogether too far to predict that the flying machine may eventually be made fool-proof constructed so that it will be almost mechanically impossible for a pilot to come to grief. Yet there are times when one won ders. At the Newark (N. J.) airport the other day an electric device was set up beside the flying field. For in the distance an airplane approached. As the first sounds of its humming motor reached the field, the electric appar atus promptly turned on all the flood lights so that the flyer could see to land. That is the sort of thing that makes one wonder. Already there is a device that tells a pilot, without need of map or light, whether he is on his course. A wing slot to elim inate tail spins is now being tried out. Another invention will show the pilot at all times in darkness, fog or snow storms exactly how far his plane is above the ground. Put together a few more inventions like those nad you'll come mighty close to making flying fool-proof in sober fact. :o: There seems to be no doubt that the doctors are becoming more dis criminating. One in Hutchison, Kan sas, has announced that he will not answer the call of any man who eats too much three times a day. "Such a man," he says, "is a hog and should call the veterinary, surgeon and not a doctor. POWDER GECFUSu TOE j r.r.iLnjnt There is a great deai'cf talk now aday? about fredoa. The ycur.er Federation, vre have teen toid over an.i ever again, i" de termined to haTe it, if it has to shock evry maiden aunt in the country. Women, newly emancipated and per mitted to smoke cigarets in public, are getting it also. Restrain and re pression have become hateful words; any psychologist will tell you that they are fatal to the soul's develop ment. It is customary to blame all of thir. on the war, but that point is im material. Whether or not the busi ness of "self-determination for small nations" is responsible for the young sophist icate's loss of inhibitions might be a curious question fora so viologist, but it doesn't really make much difference. The point is that we seem, in the last few years, to have determined to have individual freedom at almost any price. Having reached this decision, it really wouldn't hurt us to stop fret ting and figure rut just what we are going to do with our freedom when we get it. Freedom is a curious thing. Lik no many other of life's desirable goals, it can be reached only by indirection. Aim for it to the exclusion of all else and you will lose it. Forget about it, and strike out for some quite diverse objective, and you may unexpectedly find it. For life has a way tf building up ties and responsibilities that cannot be dodged. Without at all intending to, all of us drift gradually into one after another entanglement. Present ly we find that our lives are not our own. Other people have claims on them. We cannot do anything with reference to our own wishes alene. We must always consider how what we do will affect other people. But our plight is worse if we de liberately set out to avoid all en tanglements. We wall ourselves in and by gaining a sort of ise.lation we make ourselves free to do as we will; and then we find that we have taken on a new kind of slavery. We are hold in our own (bains. We cannot do the fine things we might have done, for they spring from those very entanglements we shunned; by look ing for freedom we have r-nined only emptiness and futility. Most, of us. by choice (r neces sity, take the former course. We create unbi eakbh' ties between our selves and other people, and these ties restrict our movements. On by one the brave dreams we used to have of doing exciting, pleasing pnd unusual things fade out. We find that we can never do them, because our relationships with those who love and trust us will not permit it. Yet that is not entirely a misfor tune. For. by being prevented from realizing our secret dreams, we are gradually made free from them. "We are released from bondage to unat tainable desires. With this freedom we are enable to serve, not ourselves. but others. i nus, eventually, we learn how it is that he that is master of his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a city. We discover the value of r?elf- saenfiee. And strangely enough we get a new kind of freedom that we had not dreamed of before. :c: Senator Heflin called the reporters squirrels the other day.

Pat Panek's St. Paul high school cagers Thursday night displayed the stuff that won them the 1928 state prep school bas ketball tourney, when they came from behind to win their first class A en counter with Geneva. 35 to 27. The St. Paulies were trailing in the rear at the half time, with but 12 points to 19 for Geneva, but the start of the second half witnessed a brilliant rally on the part of Martin, center; Lynch, guard, and Davis, fcr ward. Refusal on the part of the Geneva squad to "stall" when these tactics might have re versed the final outcome, aided in opening things wide for the on-rushing champie.ns. Heath and Willy, at forward posts, featured the loser's game. York. Grand Island, and Crete were winners in other early games in class A. York disposing of Fremont. 2:. to 19; Grand Island beating Al liance, JS to T. ; and Crete trimming Columbus, 20 to 8.
