How can you afford the mon

neighbor Of mine, years ago, as |
was putting a window into the
basement of our house to light
up a workbench our children and
their mother had planned for
their use.
| replied; Yes, this will cost
SIS to say nothing of the work,
but if it, makes the place inter-
esting for the children, so they
can benefit by working with their
tools, and keeps them at home in
stead Of idling their time else
where, mother and | think it will
pay"
He disdainfully answered; Il
don't believe in such nonsense"
and went his way.
He has had trouble with his
children; his boys ran away from
home, one of them turned out
badly. That our children have
done better, mother and | attri-
butte partly to the little workshop

One of our boys had small print

in the publishing business. An
other made a number of handy
contrivances for use in the home

the agricultural college, and will
return to run the farm. One

The Rev. Father j. C. Thomp-
son rector of st. James Catholic
church, Steelton, Pa, has con-
demned the tango, hesitation and
the other so-called modern dan
ces.
Father Thompson recently adj
dressed a short talk to the young
people of his church in which he
advised them to refrain from in
dulging in any Of these dances.
Using for his theme, "The Mod
ern Dances" he characterized
the tango as "the Devils bait"
and asserted that there was little
doubt that the modern dances
are indecent.
Quoting Bishop McGavick of
Chicago, the Rev. Father Thomp
son said; There is an epidemic
Of impurity which has grown and
spread in the last few years.
This epidemic is shown p%articu-
larly in the modern dances which
are merely limitations of the an
imals. They have descended
to that-to the animals a n d
worse. The special dance, over
which the world seems to have
gone mad, is a dance of sin. 1t
comes from the haunts of sin and
the houses of infamy. It's his
tory is a history of SIM" Father
Thompson said today.
While we never saw the new
Devils bait for souls, called
tango (Which is Latin for | touch
but having made some inquiries
we find that the concensus of
opinion is that the tango is i'm
moral, indecent and vile and no
decent woman would indulge in
it under any circumstances"
