Headquarters for COCA-COLA Mt. St. Mary's College, Emniitsburg, Maryland, April 30, 1940. DLE Editor NOTRE DAME SCHOLASTIC, Notre Dame, Indiana. Dear Sir: XH^ Like Y'r ob't ser't, L. Elizabeth PIPE TOBACCO and CANDY Wilson, I have perused your slick (Pulp indeed, Miss Wilson!) and noted a cor­ respondence between one Gallagher and the nine old men commonly referred to as Willmann. I have since forgotten what Gallagher's complaint was, and having associated with your collegiate-parade marshal for some years, I figured it wasn't worth while looking up -what he said. If it was any good, he's said it before, or he'll say it again. But the spectacle of a fellow-male beset by two women — and in a leap year at that — moves me to extend a helping hand, to withdraw the veil from his cloistered youth, and to refurbish a tarnished char­ acter. As much as I can. Miss Wilson may be correct in calling our mutual acquaintance John Betz Al­ bert Willmann. In my day, he referred to himself invariably as John Albert Betz Willman, in that order, except in Hughesville and Montgomery, Pa., where he was widely and favorably known as "Humpty" Logan, and looked upon as mighty white indeed. It may be well that your columnar lead-off man is tending toward a not- unpleasant embonpoint. Strict truth might even force the admission that the whole thing has turned into a rout. But in his youth, one would have been hard put to it to find a more lissom arid agile youth. For two semesters of his high- school life, he was entrusted with the high duty of ringing the bell that ter­ minated classes; and so adept was his footwork, so precise his timing, that he was called on only once in Virgil, as I remember, and then only because he slipped on a wet track and failed to reach the bell in time. ..;^^^ Coca-Cola has the As for stealing bases — I can, if nec­ Drink charm of purity.

RADIO CLUB'S LITTLE THEATRE — LAST TIME NEXT TUESDAY Birth Control Blamed For White Race Decline Dr. Alejandro E. Bunge, South Amer­ ican engineer, economist and statistician, finished the last of a series of six lec­ tures yesterday and left the University to take part in the Pan-American Scien­ tific Congress, to be held in Washington, May 10 to 18, as an official delegate from the government of Argentina. Dr. Bunge was on the campus from May 1, presenting his lectures in the auditorium of the Engineering Building. The topic of his first two lectures was "The Splendor and Decline of the White Race," while the last four dealt with "A New Argentina." Ordinarily both topics would occupy six lectures each, but due to an accident and his subsequent late arrival at the University, Dr. Bunge was forced to condense his material. While speaking of the white race Dr. Bunge stated that the prime factor in the decline of Caucasian supremacy was birth control. "There has been an im­ Fr.

OUR DAILY BREAD

LITURGY . We must cram into this little space some mention of the joj'ous events that crowd the next few weeks. Sunday, and the week that follows, we celebrate the birthday of Holy Mother Church. "Be­ hold I am Avith you," is the reassuring watchword we should often repeat as against the clamor of the evil forces of the world. The happy coincidence of Pen­ tecost and Mother's Day should deepen the significance of both, and the loyalty their mutual relations imply.

Its importance this year is unique. First, the consciousness that we are free thus to honor the King of Elings; secondly, that we should feel it a duty to do so. "Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man confess before the angels of God." (Luke 11:8)

Mass Calendar: May 12-18 Each day of the Octave of Pentecost has its own Mass. The Sequence, or hymn, recited after the Gospel is a sum­ mary of the effects of the Holy Ghost. In the Canon the Communicantes and Hanc Igitiir are proper to the feast. Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are the summer Ember Days, the offering of the first fruits of the new season. The second prayer on Wednesday is of St. John Baptist de La Salle, founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools; Thursday, St. Uvaldiis, Confessor; Fri­ day, St. paschal Baylon, Confessor, a special patron of the Blessed Sacrament; BYRON NELSON, V.
