Gus menace TO the shipping of the harbor
as il occupies a portion Of the best an
chorage. The obstruction has increased
annually during the past ten years by

Even more important than this OBJ
struction to navigation is the fact that
this wreck. although it contains the
bodies Of siXtythree American seamen
or what is left of them. is apparently
bandoned and forgotten by the govern
ment and people of the United States
Thousands Of Americans and other thou

not one omits to express regret and CEN

STUNTD MIND AND BODY.
DR.. McGuigan Discusses the Evils Of
Child Labor.

In his address to the League Of the
Good Shepherd At ST Patricks Church
last evening Rev. Thomas r. McGuigan
took the text Charity Seeketh Not Her
Own directing his remarks TO the child
labor problem
The greater we are ourselves" he
said, "the more filled we are with that
laida BILE self-love that leads us to fash
ion ourselves a perfect member of the
Christian body The more Christ-like
we become the farther out we may reach
for the betterment of our fellow-men.
1T is a good thing to stoop down and
pick up an unfortunate from the gutter.
it is infinitely better to save him from
stumbling. The many efforts now made
to enable our children and youth to grow
up useful and happy citizens are worthy
of our support.
"A sound body is never the product of
close confinement during the years of
growth for long hours at a time in work
shop or store or office or factory. /,
stifies the lungs for want of sufficient
breathing space: ii softens the muscles
requiring exercise: II strains the nervous
system by overtension. A sound body in
these conditions cannot be the receptacle
Of sound mind.
"A mind sound and we'll balanced for
the strife Of life cannot receive its first
education in the marts of trade. If mind
and body are dwarfed and warped. what
must be said of the moral and religious
sense? A broad companionship with
youths yet in the mutative age generally
drags down to the lowest level
There Is enough evil in the associations
to start all downward. There is not the
strength of individual character to resist
and lead upward. Then working boys and
girls assume the estate of manhood and
woma anhood when they draw their first
pay and must have the pleasures and
recreatfons Of their elders. Late hours
on the streets or in cheap. baneful the
aters are accepted with avidity. De-
prived of childish fun and recreation all
week there is no time for God, church or
prayer on Sunday.
There was a large attendance of the
membership of the league.

WOMAN AND HER HAT.
Engineering in Filming It On-In
 Heavy Weather.

A fierce gust of wind that swOoped down on a woman walking up Park row tore off her hat and sent it roll ing like a cartwheel across the car tracks.
 Why doesn't that happen oftener?'' man who witnessed the spectacle asked of his sister.
 Because women pin their hats on so that they won't blow off" she said. "A woman wouldn't look very pretty running after her hat in the street, and so she takes precautions against losing it, and her precautions are elaborate.
 "A man can jam his hat down tight on his head and make it stick, but a woman can't do that because she wears her hat on top of her head, where all she can do is to pin it on with those long hat pins through hat and hair.
 T have known a woman to use eight hat pins, making a sort of criss- cross, mutually bracing network of these long pins running through her hat and hair to keep her hat on straight and true. Some women use four hat pins. I use only three.
Arizona republican., 1909-07-23

But pins are a pretty precarious means of attachment. On a still day the pinned on hat goes all right and says where a woman puts it, but on a windy day the woman has her troubles; you can take it from your sister that this is perfectly true. The wonder to me is that women pin their hats on to stay as well as they do do; I can account for this only on the suppOsition that they must be natural engineers. instinct lively skilled in the art of running their hat pins in such a manner that they will brace and hold effectually For all that, though. the wind does play pranks with women's hats brace them as securely as they may, it blows them down over their eyes and down over the backs of their heads and twists them every which way.
 T came in myself this afternoon with my hat so skewed that a bow that should have shown at the front was now around at the side of my head; which was much as if the bow of your necktie, which should appear under your chin, should work around to show under your ear.
 'Is it any wonder, brother, that we hear women ask, Is my hat straight Still for all her troubles in keeping it straight a woman seldom loses her hat; she always looks out for that New York Sun.
