 ly known as the Sunday school mass. the Rev. Father Kitrlck was the celebrant and at 10;30 the Rev. Father Coyle of- ficlated.
 Features of the Sunday school mass in- clude hymns in English. sung by the children, and the reading in English of portions of the service. The celebrant at the altar is permitted to say the mass only in Latin, but Father Coyle, stand ing in the pulpit, reads slowly and with distinct enunclation, the translation. In this way the attention of the children is held closely and the mass is said to be singularly impressive and edifying.

Fa- ther Giles occupied the pulpit and preached stirring sermon on education- the importance of instructing boys and girls in Christian doctrine at the same time their intelects are being trained. Father Giles preached at the church of Our Lady of Sorrows at the o'clock mass.

nefarious business Will the people of Birmingham submit to that? Surely not. .It is useless to say that you can make people good by law. That Is an old tbread-bare argument of the devil We arc not irving to make people righteous by law. But we are trying to protect the innocent restrain the wicked and pun ish the guilty. We want right upon the throne and the guilty upon the scaf- fold.
 .T,et the American people be warned. Russia lies helpless at the feet of Japan today because her government and people are corrupt A proud nation has been hu- initiated. reproached by her own sins. History repeats itself. It is necessary for ue to beware of such calamity and save our country for any such fate that nav await us < punishment for our cor ruption and lack of righteousness.
 The Remedy.
 "The remedy lies in a revival of right eousness in the nation; a revival of truth loving and sin hating. We need politi- cal reformation that will sweep the whole country, and fill every office with an honest man.
 'sWe must begin with the children and young people We must teach them to love the true and hate the false. We must create national pride among them that will safeguard the honor of the nation.
 '1f a stranger invades the sanctity of the home he does it at the peril of his life. Let 1t be so with him who dares to rob the state of its virtues. Let us hope to effect a more general realization of the truths that the wages of sin is death and he that Is steadfast in right eousness shall attain unto life.'"

ANOTHER LETTER
 ABOUT SPRINKLING
MAYOR BARRY OF DALLAS SAYS THE STREET CAR COMPANY SPEiNkLES ALL TRACKS FIX cEPT IN BUSINESS SECTION.

w S. Reynolds, chairman of a commit tee recently appointed by the Woodlawn city council to cooperate with the com mittee from the East Lake board of all dermen in an effort to secure the use of sprinkling cars by the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company on the tracks of the East Lake line, is in re- ceipt of a letter from Mayor Bryan T. Barry of Dallas, Tex. in regard to the use of the sprinlklers in that city.
 Mayor Barry explains the manner in which the dust is kept down in Dallas. He states that the board of aldermen Of that city adopted an ordinance requiring the street railway company to sprinkle their tracks and two feet on each side. According to the information conveyed in the letter, the ordinance has never been tested in the courts, as the railway company readily compiled with it's pro- visions. s-s
 In the business portion of the city the streets are sprinkled by water wagons owned and operated by the city. The traffic, the letter states, is so heavy in that portion of Dallas that tbe use of motor sprinkling cars would not be prac- ticable. In the residence section, how ever, the streets are sprinkled from curb to curb by the street car company. The plan. Mayor Barry says, has been in op- eration in that city for five or six years and has proven entirely satisfactory.
 So far as I know" said MT. Barry, "the street railway company has never refused to do anything we asked them. They are public spirited enough to want to keep down the dust along their lines and add to their business and the pleasure of their passengers"
 The communication from the mayor of Dallas Is the third received by those in- terested in the movement here from the chief executives of cities where the use of motor cars for sprnkling the streets has been tried. The other letters were received from the mayors of Memphis and New Orleans.
