Americans Will Erect
Catholic School, China
BEATY, Pa., July 28. (/P)—Survey
of conditions preparatory to the es
tablishment of a Catholic education
al institution in China under the
supervision of St. Vincent Arch Ab
bey here has been completed by the
Rt. Rev. Aurelius Stehle, Order ot
St. Benedictine, who recently re
turned from Peking. He spent sever
al months in China, at the direction
of Pope Pius XI, making the survey.
The project was started seven
years ago when Vincent Ying, a Chi
nese educator, appealed to Pope Bene
diet XV for assistance in establish
ing a university in Peking but noth
ing definite resulted. With the elec
tion of Pope Pius XI the matter was
again considered and it was referred
to the entire American-Cassinese con
gregation believing the undertaking
would be too large to be launched by
any single abbey.
The question was considered at the
twenty-first general chapter of the
American Cassinese congregation, at
the Abbey of Saint Procopius, Lisle,1
111., in August, 1923. A favorable vote
was returned and the project was
entrusted to St. Vincent’s Arch Ab
bey.
The tentative curriculum would in
clude theology and philosophy; let
ters, Chinese and European; natural
sciences; social sciences and history,
and mining and engineering. A prep
aratory school may be included in
the plans and other additions made
to meet plans and other additions
made to meet local educational
needs. The site for the institution
has been obtained and it is expected
that construction work will be un
dertaken within a short time.

Score and 7 Years Later
MONROE, La., July 28. (/P)—'The
distinction is claimed by Monro#1
Camp, No. 9, United Spanish War
Veterans, that it is the only ohe in
the country having for its three prin
cipal camp officers th#- same men
who commanded the veterans as a
unit in the Spanish-American war.
The officers are Frank P. Stubbs,
commander; Eugene J. Courtney,
senior vice-commander, and Walter
B. Mangum, junior vice-commander.
They were captain, first lieutenant

fantry, during the Spanish war.
Elephant Repeats Act
After 14 Years Interval
VIENNA, July 28. (/?)—A decree
issued by the late Emperor Francis
Joseph 14 years ago, recently was
vacated and the act which caused
the issuance of the decree immediate
ly was repeated by the one punish
ed by it. The victim of the aged
emperor’s wrath was “Maidy,” the
female elephant, born at Schoen
brunn Zoological Gardens in Vienna,
July 17, 1906.
When about five years old “Maidy”
was being admired one day by a
party which included a lady-in-wait
ing at the royal Court. Filling her
trunk from the great concrete tank
which had been provided for her,
“Maidy” blew the water straight
into the face of the lady-dn-waiting.
When the Emperor heard of the
misbehavior he ordered the elephant’s
tank covered and condemned “Maidy”
to go without a bath for the remain
der of her life.
It happened that the nineteenth
anniversary of the elephant’s birth
last month was a warm day and those
now in charge of affairs in Aus
tria, figuring that no danger could
come from vacating the late emper
or’s decree, restored “Maidy’s” bath
ing tank. The big beast plainly
showed her delight with her first
plunge in 14 years.
That plunge apparently recalled
Jier last previous one and “Maidy,”
perhaps thinking it part of the pro
gram as before, immediately filled
her trunk with water and then emp
ties it into the faces of the park
inspector and half a dozen of his
friends who had assembled to watch
her get reacquainted with the tank.
This time, however, the offense was
overlooked.
Tourists Learn New Terms
On Visit Yellowstone Park
ASHTON, Ida., July 28. (^—Yel
lowstone Park has a vocabulary all
its own and tourists visiting it the
first time have many surprises in
store tor them. An automobile driv
er is never a chauffeur in the park.
He is a “gear-jammer.” A waitress
is always a “heaver” and a cook is
only known as a “meat-burner.”
Most of the employes in the hotels
and camps of the park are students,
twenty universities and colleges are
represented among the hundreds of
waitresses and housemaids working
in the big hotels and camps. There
are also many school teachers among
the wTomen employes and this year
most of these motored to the park
in their own cars. The chauffeurs
and other men employes of the trans
portation and hotel company also
came chiefly in their own autos.
Many of the students motored all
the. way from New York, and large
numbers of them came from Calif
ornia.
LUTHER ANNIVERSARY

BERLIN, July 28. (AP)—A special
oldtime vesper service was held re
cently in the Berlin Cathedral to
celebrate the 400th anniversary of

dition to the cathedral service there
was an outdoor celebration in the
square fronting the Luther monu
ment. A large crowd joined in the
singing of old German carols.
