ASKS MEXICO GIVE RELIGOUS RIGHTS Bishop Pleads for Freedom of Divine Worship Mexico City, Nov. 30 UP—Bishop Miguel De La Mora of San Louis; Potosl, today made a plea through the columns of the newspaper El Universal for the government to withdraw religious restrictions. The bishop, who has been in hiding since the religious dispute broke out, ex- plained that he did not represent any other priests, but was speaking entirely on his own responsibility. Bishop De La Mora said that to separate the people from the clergy was practically to separate them trom their religion and to convert them into atheists. “Philosophers can understand the abstract,”” he wrote, “but the people | cannot. Christ did not teach them abstract but only concrete realities which are represented by the| church.” He explained that the clergy and the Catholics in general belleved that they cannot comply with cer- tain laws without transgressing the sacred rights of the church. He sald this was the reason the clergy had| left the churches two years ago. Legal Position The bishop maintained that the clergy was in a perfectly legal posi- tion since there was no law obliging them to officiate in churches. e said the laws that were objected to have nothing in common with the postulates of the revolution, did not contribute to the prosperity of the| country, nor to liberty of thought, and did not impede the aggrandize- ment of the nation. . There was no reason, therefore, he sald, to try to separate the people from the practice of their relision; or from the clergy, he said. | ‘Leave their religion to the people, | it uplifts, consoles, and moralizes them. Heed their clamor if you wish | to work for their welfare. Destroy the source of hatred and rancor and settle once for all the religious ques- tion. Let us all be brothers in the great fold of the motherland—give the people what they ask and they will be happy.” Answers Charges The bishop also answered certain charges against the clergy made by Attorney General Ezequiel Padilla in his argument for the prosecution in the trial of Jose De Leon Toral, as- sassin of General Alvaro Obregon. He denied the attorney-general's charges that the clergy had depart- ed from Christ's teachings, had en- riched itself with worldly goods or exploited the Mexican people. ‘He said Christ gave the clergy the right to possess property in order to finance their religious and charity work. He contended the clergy in Mexico had never taken advantage of this right and has done enormous good with comparatively small re- sources. Once Sentenced to Die; Is Now Wealthy London, Nov. 30 UM — A Paris dispatch to the Evening Star says Mrs. Florence Maybrick, once sen- tenced to die as her husband's slay- | er, has been left a fortune of ap- proximately 150,000 pounds ($750,- 000) under the will of Waiter Thomas Burrell, a British subject who lived in France. Mrs. Maybrick was sentenced to death in 1889. Later the sentence was commuted to penal servitude for lite and after she had served | 18 years she was released in 1905. The dispatch said Mrs. Maybrick was now living in Florida and in- tended to utilize some of the money to start investigations of supposedly new facts connected with the mur. der case. With the ald of these facts she hopes to satisfy the public that she was innocent of the charge of polsoning her husband. EVIL THAT KIDS DO Los Angeles, Nov. Life's darker moments are just likely to predominate in one’s childhood recollections as those of rosier hue, it was shown by tests recently conducted at the Universi- ty ot California. Under direction of Dr. Kate Gor- don of the psychology department, 750 students were tested to de- termine whether pleasant or un- pleasant incidents occurring in childhood were most prominent in their minds. The result, Dr. Gordon says, dis- proves the old theory that the cir- cuses and ice cream cones are more apt to be remembered than the | spankings and stomach-aches.

Mexico City, Nov. 30 (P—Military chiefs, many of whom had seen mil- itary men become president of Mex- ico, assembled today for the inau- guration of a civillan as president, Emilio Portes Gil, former governor of Tamaulipas and later secretary of interior. Portes Gil has been chosen provisional president by congress to take the place of Gneeral Alvaro Cbregon, president-elect who was assassinated last July.

Her work provides data for stellar in- vestigators in observations all over the world. She is Miss Annie J. Cannon of Harvard observatory, now writing the tenth volume of her astronomi- cal guide. When she was a girl in Dover, Del., her mother taught her the fas- cination of star study, and at the same time the principles of house- hold economics as practiced by a generation of girls to whom busi- ness careers were entfrely unknown. Years later, when Miss Cannon went to Harvard observatory, then one of the few places admitting women astronomers, she turned a trained talent for household man- agement into an aptness for high astronomic precision, She took what was then a side- line in astronomy, study of the pho- tographs of star spectra, and with its aid produced a universal astrom- omical utility, a monumental cata- log of nine volumes, classifying nearly a quarter of a million stars into 40 different divisions, accord- ing to the abundance of hydrogen, | helium or other gases in the stellar | She lists the posi- tions and the brightness. Only about 5,000 stars are bright enough to be visible to the naked eys. The spectra are tiny, narrow, rib-' bon-shaped images on- glass photo- graphic plates. The lines in these {mages, examined under a micro- scope, reveal the star's composition, | which is & fundamental fact in modern astronomy. The catalog represents, in time and resources, an investment of a quarter of & million dollars—an in- dustry greater than many & busi- ness woman handles. Preparation and publication of the first nine| volumes of the catalog required 13 vears of work. They were issued in 1924, Miss Cannon has received various scientific distinctions and numerous | honorary degrees. Oxford univer- sity, England, made her a doctor of | science ,which was the first time that institution had conferred this honor upon a woman. 8She is a/ graduate of Wellesley, and a mem- ber of numerous clubs and scien- tific organizations.
