...Duke of Norfolk, the Archbishop of Canterbury and 350 Officers of the Gold Staff who will act as ushers at the Abbey Ceremony, last week made a tour of 100 toilets in remodeled Westminster Abbey. These have been specially built for the convenience of Britain's aristocracy privileged to remain in the Abbey without a chance of escape for six and one-half hours. A jesting officer of the Gold Staff ordered all the cisterns to be tested together. As a workman obeyed the command, the Archbishop protested: "Tut, tut, that will never do. It's just like...

Already about its holy business in Ethiopia last week was a "Catholic Expeditionary Force," a mission headed by Archbishop Giovanni Maria Emilio Castellani, 49, lately of Rhodes. Under this able Franciscan, Vatican-trained native missionaries, white priests and what the Protestants called "swarms of nuns" were pitching in to "reclaim" 5,000,000 Copts to the Catholic faith, with which the Ethiopian Coptic Church was allied in early times and again for a few years in the 17th Century. From Vatican City came report that Italy and the Church's C. E. F. will follow the British empire-building...
