TOFCADAAS gl Vatican City, June 28 (® — The Cardinals of Curia, those 20 or more princes of the Catholic church residing permanently in Rome, are soon to have their modest stipends of about $1,000 a year raised to approximately $4,000. In the process of reorganizing the papal court and the vatican services generally, it came to light that those wearers of the red hat obliged by their duties to reside .n thg Eternal City, were being paid less than some of the most modest lay functionaries. Moreover,-vatican tradition required that they em- play at least one secretary and one servant, and it was desired that ea¢h should have his horse-drawn carriage. On a meagre thousand a year, such a style of living could Bardly be expected; yet, by dint of the most rigid economy,” some of the curia cardinals have actually | beén able to keep up with it. To be sure, a goodly number of thess prelates have had ecclesiasti- cal perquisites of various sorts, or private means which enabled them to maintain their rank without un- due counting of pennies. Btu even for them, the cost of living in 20th century Rome, above all after the forced atabilization of the Italian lird at 19 to the dollar. presented serjons obstacles. But those who had to . content themselves with the ‘mere $1,000 might well have envied the lot of many parish priests in the United States. ‘The expense of accepting a call “to the purple,” with implied resi- dence in Rome, has deterred many an. ecclesiastical diplomat, assigned as papal nuncio abroad, from re- turning to the mother city of Chris- tendom and recelving the highest reward within the pope's gift. The tradition has it that when a papal enyoy has reached the summit of Ble career he shall be admitted to the Bacred College, and leave his diplematic functions to a yvounger man. But the difference between the $15,000 a year, reputed to be the ry and expense allowance of & nunico in a major post, such a8 .

For 10 years Elsie Pearl Trus- kett has been rebuffed in efforts | to acquire priviloges of membership. | Her $200,000 damage suit against | the Kansas City Livestock exchange | now is pending. Buying and selling cattle has been her life work. At one time she controlled the largest incoming livestock business of any woman at the Kansas City yards. She has bought and sold numerous ranches, | and no owns three and rents three | in Missouri, Kansas and Texas. Her holdings total 5,000 acres. | Until last year Miss Truskett employed by various firms in K sas City's stockyards as a catt bpyer. She began in 1903 at $3 a day and was making $400 a menth when they ousted her because, siw says, she was a woman. Miss Truskett's hobbies are writ- ing poetry and helping the desti- tute. She advertised her stockyards business in rhyme. As a sideline she operates two apartments for Ne- groes. Orginally she planned to be a teacher, but instead became & cowgirl who dons boots and spurs as handily as any ranchman. Unless she i3 granted an exchange membership, Miss Truskett will be unable to cont her cattle sales- manship career. In 1921 she helped to lobby the “public market act” through the Missouri legislature. The law was designed to make the livestock ex- change cooperative, When Miss Truskett bought a membership, of- ficials refused to transfer her name to their books. | ex- | The term urasian” the~child of a Hindu mother and a Portuguesc father. avenue leave this week to! was first | used in India years ago to describe | o, —~2 A 4N "GOTHAM $ $$ $¢$¢$$ss 8 S S - _ S PORCH 'ROCKERS Cane Seats. er finished ited Dollar Day.
