Church highly for its stand in re-

speaker said: "The radicals and
Reds have finally found their way
into the clergy, posing as pacifists.
Many of the ministers are not red,
but are deep pink in eolor. I was
reared a Methodist and have no af-
filiation wiht the Catholic Church,
but I wish to praise the religious
institution for its stand against Com

O—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0—0
Q.—Under what circumstances is a
priest permitted to reveal what he
heard from the sinner in the con-
fessional?
A.—The confessor is not permitted
under any circumstances to reveal
anything learned through the con-
fessional which in any way would
be a detriment to the penitent. This
is a matter between the penitent
and God and no one else is to use
it for any purpose.
Q.—Intending to visit the World’s
Fair, I pefer to lodge there with
Catholic people; to whom should I
apply?
A.—Write to Mrs. Mae Spehn Mc-
Grath, Tourist service, 111. Club for
C. W., 843 N. Mich. Ave., Chicago,
111. Inform her when- you intend to
arrive, how long 'you will stay and
what kind of accomodations t you
would prefer.
Q,—How long would a non-Cath-
olic have to be instructed before
being received into the Church?
A.— That depends on the fervor of
the desire, the intelligence and dil-
igence of the convert and on the
previous information about the Cath-
olic religion. No fixed time can be
assigned. The more carefully the per-
son is instructed the greater will
be the appreciation of the acquired
true Faith.
Q.—Does the Immaculate Concep
lion mean that the Blessed Virgin,
like Our Lord, was conceived by the
Holy Ghost and had no* earthly
father?
A.—No. The Blessed Virgin was
born of human flesh and blood just
like every mortal. Her parents were
Sts. Joachim and Anne.* The Imm-
aculate Conception means that the
Mother of God, by a special pri-
vilege, was preserved free from ori-
ginal sin from the first moment of
her conception. Her soul was never
displeasing to God because it was
never stained with sin of any kind,
either actual or original.
judge — Guided by the evidence
ami the finding of the jury I sen-
tence the defendant to a 20 year Im-
prisonment.
Attorney — Your honor ,the de-
fendant is of very poor health. He
won’t even live 20 yean.
Judge — In that caae, I will re-
duce the sentence to life Imprison-
ment.
Federal Care of Our Children
--o--
There are zealots on every question who really want to
force a regulation on the activities of others. Most of these
zealots do not want their activities regulated. One of these
regulations was the “noble experiment’’ or national prohibi-
tion that kept on reaching out for many years until in an un-
guarded moment it was adopted-
A far worse excentricity has been adopted by our Fed-
eral lawmakers and is awaiting an opportunity to be rati-
fied by a sufficient number of State legislatures to make it n
law of the American nation. That excentricity is the Child
tabor Amendment. In the case of prohibition, there was
a limitation of time for its ratification, and if there were
not 36 States ratifying it inside of seven years, the question
would have l>een dropped for some time at least. But the
Child Labor zealots “stole a march” on their opponents by not
setting- any limit on time in which to get 36 ratifications, so we
have the prospect of having the “Damocle’s sword” hanging over
the heads of peaceful citizens forever or until in an unguarded
moment the Texas legislature ratifies it. The amendment has
been rejected twice in Austin, but the injustice in the method
of dealing with the question is, that we may reject it any
number of times; and it may come up again. Our lawmakers
at Austin may discuss it at $10 a day each till doomsday, and
its rejection is of no consequence. But let them once adopt it,
and it “stays put”. We can’t get rid of it. Is there any
justice in this? Is this impartiality?
Now, who wants this child labor amendment? If we
take the census of these zealots (not of their families, because
very few have any), and of their motives for the adoption of
the law, we would find that they really don’t have the child’s
training for best citizenship at their heart. Their little min.<
:s set in one direction and it seems to them that no one with n
grain of sense should or has a right to think and act otherwise.
No wise parent wants the Federal government to take
charge of the authority over their children or to dictate to
them when and what work shall they allow their child to per-
form. Such laws would lie absurd and 'impossible to be car-
ried out justly- Consider the children of New York, for an
example, as compared to those of Texas. In proportion to
population there are five times as many children in Texas as in
New York and their work differs Just as much. The work
done by Texas children mostly in the fields is beneficial to their
health. If the children’s work in the sweat shops of New York
or some other localities injures their health or intelligence, the
parents will keep the child from ’here if it is at all nnssihle
That parent is certainly to be pitied who must have the i-’e-ler-
j;l government to dictate the work for his child. Where avch
is the case, let local authorities take charge of it instead of forc-
ing such oppressive beauraucracy upon the whole nation.
Whole books could be written on the question, but few
would care to read them. Since our Legislature is apt to take
up the Child Labor Amendment at any time and the proponents
are watching every favorable opportunity to force its ratifica-
tion, a unified protest against 'it may carry some weight and
prevent the waste of time and money in discussing it In the
Austin legislature halls. —sk—

The Cost of Catholic Education
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
The following are some of the striking figures con-
tained in the Rev. Paul E- Campbell’s study of the cost of
Catholic education in the United States and the amount of
money that is saved to taxpayers because of the existence
of Catholic schools:
Catholic school population (1932) elementary — 2,193,160
Catholic school population (1932) secondary — 241,869
Texas Historical Sketches
There is no state in our Union whose story of life equals that
of Texas history. Its true story surpasses in its interest, variety and
beauty that of any state or country, the most varied part of its life
having been enacted in the past 100 years. But leading to that were
events no less thrilling and important, the variety of incident won
derful adventure, endurance, valor in war and peace in the past 400
years makes the story of the life of Texas unequalled.
To the present time, ‘Texas the largest of the 48 United States
has lived through phases of development and governmental change*
that were not fickle or unimportant. From the oblivion of prehistoric
life it duwns on the civilized peoph of the 16th century as an open
abode of various Indian tribes, descendants of hitherto unknown nations.
For all we know, the1/ lived here undisturbed until man of whiter com-
plexion and entirely different civilization came upon the scene and
a contest for possession began, resulting in the vanquishment of the
aborigines. Lack of unity on the one side ami superiority of war equip-
ment on the other was mostly the cause of these results.
A glimpse of the Spanish at the beginning of the 16th century,
later French, then again Spanish through Mexico, then part of Mexico,
then a free republic, part of United States, member of the Confeder-
acy, and back in the Union are the highest points in Texas’ life story.
The second day of March, 193d, will mark the one-hundredth
anniversary of the important turn in t la life of Texas and it behooves
every Texan to help celebrate that anniversary in the most appropriate
manner. Committees are at work now deviling ways towards that end,
and those who by reading or by experience have seen the development of
Texas will certainly help in the good work. To acquaint those who through
some cause have failed to inform themselves so far about the life of Tex-
as, the TRIBUNE intends to publish articles on the subject, with the
hope that the stories will be welcome by all Texans with more or leas
patriotic feelings, and by those outside of the State for the interest-
ing romance that the life stories really are. Tell your friends who did
not subscribe yet for the Tribune, that they may do so and receive
the Texas Historical Sketches from the beginning.

WAXAHACHIE, Texas, Aug. 31.
(AP) — Death has ended the rain-

an electrician who contended he
could shake moisture from the hea-
vens by exploding bombs in threaten-
ing clouds.
Burned critically two days ago
when a bomb thrown from an air-
plane prematurely exploded, setting
fire to the ship and endangering the
lives of four persons, Boze died
last nite, a believer in his cause.
His hands, arms, face and body
were severely burned when the bomb
burst shortly after he tossed it out
of a window. The inflammable air
plane win| caught fire and seconds
later the plane was ablaze.
Pilot Lou Foote brought the burn-
ing ship to earth in a cotton field.
As Foote fought to land the plane,
Boze, already badly burned, beat out
flameg around the pilot’s seat with
a piece of cardboard. Miss Ger-
trude Jefferys, a Dallas night club
hostess and a newsreel photographer
named Terry were in the plane. Miss

Thig was ascertained Thursday
at the national council of Methodist
youth, which has drawn 900 dele-
gates from all parts of the country
ttf attack the problem of "Christian
youtli in building & new world.”
“Folk dancing must be distin-
guished from social dancing,” ex-
plained the Rev. Owen N. Geer, who
in his book, "Adventures in Recrea-
tion,” published by the board of
education of the Methodist Episcopal
church, gave several differences, in:
eluding:
First, social dancing usually
means dancing with the same part-
ner throughout the evening, whereas
folk dancing means a constant
change of partners.
Also social dancing tends toward
u close embrace—particularly true
in jazz. Folk dancing makeg close
embrace difficult if not impossible.
As the keynote speaker, Dr. Al-
bert Edward Day, pastor of the
Mount Vernon Methodist Episcopal
church, Baltimore, Md., urged the
national council to consider the need
of a new economic system.

Austria Rule By Italy
Seen
—o—
PRAHA, Czechoslovakia, Aug. 30.
—Franz Winkler, former Austrian
[vice chancellor, charged today that
Prince Ernst von Starhemberg, pre
sent vice chancellor, “has been on
Mussolini’s payroll since 1929.”
“Austria today is completely in
the hands of Mussolini,” said Win-
kler, a fugitive from his country.
In a startling interview he listed
the Vatican as among the contrib-
utors of Von Starhemberg’g Fascist
Heimwehr (home guard) in its fight
against Nazism.
Mussolini, he said, smashed ne-
gotiations when Germany and Aus-
tria were on the point of an “agree-
ment” 18 months ago.
“Von Starhemberg has received
not less than $1,000,000 since 1929
to do Italy’s dirty work in Austria,”
Winkler said.
Boze was taken to a hospital. It
was at first believed he would re-
cover. Pneumonia developed and
he sank rapidly, dying 30 hours af-
ter the accident. .
It was his third attempt to bring
rain. On two previous occasions
astonished witnesses felt light show-
ers after Loze had exploded bomba
in the heavens. Once he fired pro-
jectiles thru a trench mortar and it
ra*ned 10 minutes later.

Ford To Build Own
Steel Plants
DETROIT, Aug. 30.—Henry Ford
today declared his independence of
steel manufacturers, annoucing that
he will spend $13,000,000 to build
two new steel mills at Dearborn, to
make all the steel needed for his
vast industrial empire.
The Ford statement said the con-
struction program will take about
eight months and will cost between
$12,000,000 anty $13,000,000.
“When the new millg are ready
Ford can produce 3000 cars a day
without buying a pound of steel in
the market,” the announcement said.
The plants are expected to turn
out 1500 tons of finished steel a
day—36 different kinds, to supply
every need of the Ford Rouge plant
and the other far flung units of
the Ford organization.
The move will place Ford in a
position enjoyed by no other large
manufacturer in the world—complet-
ely independent of the steel manu-
facturing concerns.
