Moo-oo!
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,
Have you ever passed a dairy farm at the moment when the cows are coming in to be milked? Have you seen them swinging in a slow procession down the lane? And have you ever at such a time asked for a glass of milk, just for the pleasure of drinking it, so now and warm and virtuous ?
Milkmaid" is taken when it is like that. It is carried swiftly in cans as clean as new pins to a spotless and speckless condensery where cleanliness is almost a mania.
And then it is sealed to protect it from dust and dirt and germs and pump and preservatives. Just the richest milk taken when it is warm and good and made safe for you and your children, but with the cream carefully left in it and only water taken from it.
JOHN I.

Preas to say, to Roman Catholics throughout the world, "Look! Only the Fascist regime has made It. possible for the Pope to breathe fresh air without giv-
up any of his claims." And Inter, when, or if, as the Fascists hope, the Castel Gandolfo journey had served as a prelude to Ruc- cessful negotiations for a settlo- ment of the Roman Question, the regimo would. truly say that it had achieved that which all its predecessors had deemed impos- sible. In plain English; all the prestige would be for the State, and the Holy Beo, would risk fall- ing into a false position.
There are no aigne that tho Church, wishes to hurry on its eventual reconciliation with the Italian State; there are Home aigns that several members of the College of Cardinals think it would be disastrous to the Holy' See's prestige abroad if the Pon- tiffs did leave the Vatican, unleas, of course, territory were restored and complete Independence of postal and telegraphic, commur.i- ention guaranteed, thereby render- ing the Pontiffs quite Independent of that State within whose bound- aries they have their own property. Moreover, the Holy See has nover, throughout its long history, been in a hurry to settle those manifold problems which have arisen from various sources.
Never in a Hurry.
The State, being several cen- turies youngor, is more hurried; from time to time it sends off some ballon d' cosai; and, in most cases the Vatican drawa back almost at once. And, curiously enough, His Holiness, whom the lay nOWE- papers 'reported as having said he could no longer take the ale in his garden because the tropical air took his breath away." In- mediately resumed his daily walk, from 6 to 7 in the afternoon,
"But next summer?" ask the Inymen. Who can tell? It may be cooler. Or, some wealthy and de- vout Catholic, and there are many, may offer to His Holiness some land near enough to the Vatican yar- dons to make direct communica tion therewith easy, and high' enough to catch the breeze that blows across the marshes from the ses on the hotest afternoon. And hera a Buзmmer villa could be built, furnished with all those modern improvements which the papal apartments, according to the lay newspapers, sadly lack. And His Holiness could drive through the new gardens and the old to the Vatican for audiences and drive up the hill when they were over, And there would be no question of his leaving his own territory, or being hurried over negotiations for a settlement of the Roman question.
Costel Gandolfo is not the only Balution; and the Holy See 's never in a hurry.
