After |B exile of more than seven
years in the United Staves of Amer
ica, the last of the Mexican refugee
prelates, the Most Rev. Eulogio G. C.
Gillow, D. D„ Archbishop of Oaxaca,
Mexico, has entered the capital of his
archdiocese. The venerable prelate
"was given a rousing ovation. His
Grace rode in an open auto at the head
of a long procession.
His first visit was to the shrine of
Our Lady of "La Soledad," where a
Te Deum was sung. From there the
procession wended its way to the Ca
thedral where another Te Deum was
chanted. Finally Archbishop Gillow
"was escorted to the archiepiscopal pal
ace where a sumptuous banquet was
given in his honor.
SPffMJf HUGE
BELFAST ADMITS EFFECTIVE­
NESS OF CATHOLIC BOYCOTT.
When the Orangemen in Belfast
forcibly expelled Catholics from their
employments and homey, Catholics in
the rest of Ireland determined to dis
continue trading relations with Belfast
and other north of Ireland centers. It
had been the fashion of the northern
Protestants to boast that they monop
olized the wealth of the country. They
Ignored the fact that it was through
the trade of the Catholics of the south
and west they derived the bulk of
iUheir trade and profits.
They have at last been constrained
to admit this fact. The topic came
liefore the Belfast Chamber of Com
merce. Complaint was made that the
boycott had played havoc with their
Iwsiness. Belfast goods were refused
everywhere by Catholics, with the re
WBlt that the firms involved had to
withdraw their travelers from the
road.
The lwycott ^is started by the Or
angemen when they hunted Catholics
from their homes and their employ
ment but they have been taught a
lesson by th| Catholics generally.

Who was Salome in Biblical his
tory, and what did she do?
The Salome mentioned in the
Bible was Mary Salome, the mother
pf the two apostles, James the Great
er, and John. She was one of the
Galilean women who had followed Je
sus, and ministered to Him. At the
crucifixion of Our-Lord, she was pres
ent on Mt. Calvary with Mary Mag
dalen, and Mary, the mother of James
the Less, and Joseph. (Marl. XV,
40). In company with these same
women, she went to the sepulchre
early on Easter morning, bearing
sweet spices, to anoint Jesus. With
them she found the sepulchre open,

Is there a St. Laura? Who WM the?
When
is
her feast-day?
According to a Spanish martyr
ology, St. Laura was a widow, in Cor
dova, Spain. After the death of her
husband she entered the convent of
St. Mary of Cuteclara. She was
elreted Superior of the convent and
was a model of holiness for her nuns
for nine years. The Saracens, who
had gained possession of Cordova,
brought her to trial as a Christian.
When she refused to abjure her faith
she was cruelly beaten, and thrown
into a bath of boiling pitch, until she
died on October 19, 884. Her feast is
on October ID,
What i$ th« Holy Grail?
The so-called Holy Gvail wns the
subject ol' various mediaeval legends.
There is no historical foundation for
it, nor has the legend ever received
the approval of the Church. Accord
ing to the English version of the
Legend, which Tennyson in his Idyls
of the King has revived, the Holy
Grail was the vessel whieh our Lord
used for a chalice at the Last Supper.
Do we know anything certain con
cerning the physical appearance of
our Lord?
We have no authentic portrait of
our Divine Savior. The earliest pic
tures of Christ are those in the cata
combs of Domitilla, where there is a
head and bust of Christ which served
as a mode1 of the conventional figures
as represented by the great Roman ar
tists. It is probable that the early
portraits of Christ were made from
the traditions concerning His appear
ance. Our modern pictures of Christ
generally correspond to those of that
time and we may believe that they
are very nearly correct.
K.C.
KNIGHTS TO EXTEND, EFFORTS
TO BENEFIT DISABLED SOL*
DIERS.
Beginning with May, the Knights of
Columbus intensive welfare work for
disabled men in American military
and marine hospitals will go into ef
fect. It will be financed by the por
tion of the K. of C. war fund orig
inally set aside for the proposed con
struction of a memorial building in
Washington, D. C. During the past
two years the Knights have conducted
hospitalization work on a minor
scale, their activities being restricted
by departmental regulations, to rec
reation work.
The new program, while not spe
cifically extending the nature of this
work, calls for an intensification of
it, so that the disabled men will, re
ceive more opportunities for amuse
ment, which form an essential part
of their restoration to normal physi
cal and mental condition.
"The peak of goyernment hospital
ization work," Dr. E. W. Buckley, su
preme physician of the K. of.C., states
in the official announcement, "will not
be reached before 11)28. This means
that at least until that time we shall
have as legitimate protegees of the
government hundreds and thousands
of men who bore the brunt of the na
tion's fighting in the war. Plans have
been carefully made towards the end
of restoring these cases, thoroughly
cured, to civilian life within the next
ten years. This may appear to be a
long time for the war to be remem
bered, but the war will not be forgot
ten, economically, until the last Lib
erty bond is redeemed."
FOR URGE FAMILIfS
EASTERN EDUCATOR SUGGESTS
MEDALS FOR PARENTS OF
NUMEROUS OFFSPRING.
Awards of medals should be made
by American colleges to those of their
graduates who become the fathers or
mothers of families of four or more
children, Dr. William H. Davis sug
gested in an address he delivered to
the School of Hygiene and Public
Health in Baltimore. Dr. Davis is
chief statistician for vital statistics of
the 'United States Census Bureau,
Washington.
Eacli college graduate who becpm.ep
the father of four ehlldrefl should re
ceitfe a bronze medal a graduate who
becomes the .father or mother of six
children should receive a silver med
al. and a gold medal should be given
to a(graduate who becomes the father
or mother of eight or more children,
Dr. Davis declared. This is the plan*
adopted by the French universities as
an incentive to arrest the deeline of
population in France.
Only the large number of births
among the immigrants who have made
the United States their home accounts
for the increase in this country'^ pop
ulation, Dr. Davis said..
"There is absolutely no doubt," he
continued, "that the fad for small fam
ilies among the educated and prosper
ous is stunting the growth and intel
ligence -of our nation. President
Roosevelt ahd Dr. Charles W. Eliot
went on record in favor of larger fam

MARY, PROTECTRESS Of AMERICA
(Continued from Page I.)
From every Catholic land of Europe,
the Irish and the Germans, the Italians
and the Slavs, have added their quota'
of ancestral piety toward the Mother
of God, and have contributed each
their share toward our American de
votion to her. Nowhere, in particu
lar, are the Month of Mary and the
October devotions more popular. It
is clear that Mary Immaculate is to
day no less the celestial friend and
protectress of this land of destiny
than when Father Marquette first
chanted the "Salve Regina" above the
broad flood of the Father of Waters.
We need not wonder, therefore, that
the Sixth Provincial Council of Bal
timore s|et its formal approval in 1846
on the selection of Mary Immaculate
as our patroness in, heaven or that
the Holy See soon confirmed tyeir
actioii.
Defined a« a Dogma.
In 1849 the Seventh Provincial Coun
cil informed the Holy See that the
Fathers thought it proper that the Im
maculate Conception of the Blessed
Virgin Mary should be defined as a
dogma, and in 1855 the Eighth Pro
vincial Council gave voice to the uni
versal joy of American Catholics at
the long-expected papal definition of
the previous year. In 1866 the Sec
ond Plenary Council of Baltimore de
creed that the feast, December eighth,
should be observed in every diocese as
a holy day of obligation, and the Third
Plenary Council in 1884 plaeed it
among the six feasts of obligation.
Leo XIII confirmed this decree and
added to it the weight of his author?
ity. In 1914 Pius solemnly approved
the project of the National Shrine of
the Immaculate Conception commend
ed to him in person by Cardinal Gib
bons, and in 1919 Benedict XV ratified
in a beautiful letter to Cardinal Gib
bons the act of his predecessor. He
urged at the same time all American'
Catholics to contribute generously to
the great church projected at the Na
tional Capital in honor of Mary Im
maculate, particularly all societies of
men and women, and himself offered
as a magnificent and generous gift, a
full size mosaic copy Murillo's Im
maculate Conception, now in the
Louvre at Paris.
Our Obligation of Gratitude.
Since, therefore, every page of
American Catholic life bears the im
press of Mary's name and influence,
and since the whole continent is so
visibly dedicated to her in the most
solemn manner,, every sentiment of
gratitude for her protection and in
tercession urges us to honor at all
times the great Mother of God, first
by. a Christian life, and then by the
completion of that noble monument in
her honor, the National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception at Washing
ton, on the grounds of the Catholic
University, to which Pius and Ben
edict XV have urged us with eloquent
words, and more eloquent generosity,
and whose corner stone was laid a
year ago by Cardinal Gibbons, in the
presence of seventy Bishops. It was
his last act of a national character,
and in his dying hours it was a .great
spiritual comfort to him that his name
was inseparably connected with the
great church in Mary's honor, even
though he was not destined to see its
mighty dome dominate waters of
the Potomac.

ERS. v.\
An effort has been made to persuade
the American people that money for
the relief of distress has been offered
by Great Britain and refused by Ire
land. The cable sent to America by
Bishop MacRory should destroy any
effect this form of propaganda was in
tended to have in the states. The
only funds subscribed in the British
Islands in aid of sufferers in' Ireland
consist of contributions by Irish Cath
olics themselves.
Dr. MacRory says:
"Not a penny of the millions alleged
to be available for the relief of dis
tress in Ireland has been given or of
fered by the British government to
relieve the want and misery of the
expelled workers of Belfast ar^d their
wives and children."
Instead of granting millions, as al
leged, the British Treasury has cur
tailed outlay on every useful Irish
service. Grants to local authorities to
the extent of $7,500,000 have been cut
off. The votes to departments engaged
in works of public utility have been
reduced. There is no money appor
tioned for housing or public, health
service. Land purchases transactions
have been practically suspended. Ed
ucation
HI
all its branches is starved.
County Councils have, owing to the
withholding of grants, been obliged to
discontinue the repair and improve
ment of the highways.
Yet Ireland contributes 260,000,000
dollars a year to the British Treas
ury. Never before had the tribute
reached such a high figure.

VATICAN RELATIONS BILL
Temporary postponement ©f the hill
authorizing the resumption of rela

This action is not regarded as more

respecting reparations.

APRIL 29, DATE OF DEATH OF LU
CAS D'ACHERY, FAMED AS PRO
FOUND STUDENT OF MEDIAE­
VAL HISTORICAL AND THEO
LOGICAL MATERIALS.
April 29 was the anniversary of the
death of Lucas d'Achery, a learned
French Benedictine (Maurist), who
performed historic work as a scholar,
and who died on that date in 1685, in
the Monastery of St. Germain dei
Pres at Paris.
s
This scholarly Benedictine was bori!
in 1609 at St. Quentin in Picardy. He
was especially noted as a profound
student of mediaeval historical ann
theological materials, mostly in orig
inal manuscripts. To the collection,
elucidation and printing of these he
devoted his life.
In 1637 he became a member of th
Monastery of St. Germain des Pies,
and it is said that in his long so
joum of nearly 50 years he hardly
ever went outside its walls. He was
librarian of the monastery, and thus
became well acquainted with its great
treasures of mediaeval history anl
theology. By correspondence with
Other monasteries in France and else
where, he soon became a bibliographi
cal authority of the first rank, his
specialty being all that pertained to
unedited or forgotten writings of med
iaeval scholars.
D'Archery was a type of the meel
iaeval Benedictine, humble and self
sacrificing, virtuous and learned. In
spite of the fact that he suffered much
from illness, he was foremost in all
