publication is expected to make its

In "Cathedral at Rheims," Rader
takes excerpts from his English

"A very unique cover design will
appear this month," he related.
"The background of the design is
a map of the old Roman forum

Saint Patrick Used
Shamrocks to Tell
Irish of the Trinity
When the day for the "wearing
of the green" rolls around much
talk gets afoot concerning the na
tionality noted for a peculiar brand
of confetti as well as in refeience
to the great patron saint of Ire
land, St. Patrick. Following a
custom which has little basis of
fact in most people's minds, many
add verdant bit of one kind or an
other to their wearing apparel on
March 17.
All of this bedecking in green is
a distant shadow of the missionary
work of one of the greatest apos
tles of Christianity. St Patrick.
strange as it may seem, was not
an Irishman. His nationality is in
dispute even among the most au
thentic of church historians. The
dispute, however, is not as to
whether or not he was an Irish
man or something else, but as to
whether he was born of Scotch or
French parents. He werct to Ire
land as a missionary in the fourth
century. By a simple and very ef
fective method of persuasion, be
converted the people to the new
faith of Christianity, or to be more
exact to Catholicism. His effective
ness is demonstrated by the fact
that the Irish more than any other
people have retained that faith
down to the present thru all
storms of dissent.
The shamrock, which was the
original decoration of green, had
its origin in one of the sermons of
St. Patrick. In explaining the doc
trine of the Trinity, which means
three persons in one God, or the
three-fold nature of the Godhead,
this apostle demonstrated his
meaning to the people by using a
three leaf clover as an illustration.
The shamrock that the saint used
is more likely to have been white
than green according to commen
tators on the subject.
There seems to be no authentic
basis for the popular story that
students under the direction of the
department Of mechanical engine
ering of the college, and one award
is for a graduate and the other
for an undergraduate student.

Hairbrush Sentence Given to
Mailbox Pilferers
By Police.
Two little girls, six and eight
years old, admitted Friday they
had been taking mail from houses
on sorority row. Their confession
to Juvenile Officer Lt- Beals has
cleared up the mysterious disap
pearance of letters from home for
the past several weeks. Checks,
small articles of clothing, and in
cidentals that can be sent by mail
are among the things members of
the sororities have been missing.
Identity of the two girls was
discovered when a neighbor wo-,
man noticed some torn letters and
silk stockings tucked away in the
casing of basement window, and
notified police.
Lt. Beals checked the neighbor
hood. Two girls, six and eight, he
was told, were een entering sor
ority bouses. When he questioned
them at Bancroft school they read
ily admitted the thefts. They tried
it because, thev said, "a boy in an
other school told them he did it."
Postal Inspector Jack Bradley,

the youngsters administered tonic
