appears to be most influential. Many
commercial and manufacturing con-
Germs have to come to the conclusion
that the abuse of alcohol on the part
or their employees is detrimental to-
their interests and they refuse the
services of men addicted to this;
habit. Few companies, says the New
York Sun, have been courageous
enough to refuse employment to men
who use alcohol moderately, because

Workmen of 25 to A years who are
users of alcohol, have been traced
three times as many accidents result
ing In injuries as to all the other
workmen together and the loss of time
arising from such injuries was four
fold that incurred by all the. other
Workmen. 1t was calculated that by
torb1ddtng the use of alcohol 7 per
cent of all accidents would be pre-
vented, and the workmen's sick bene-
lit societies would save 100000 marks
annually, more than $1,OOO,OOO. These,
Facts were clearly brought out in the
hyglenic congress by DR.: w. F. Boos,
who also points out that most acct
dents occurred on Monday, showing
that they were probably due to week
end tipping, which leaves the man in
an unstable condition There is no,
doubt that the regular use of alcohol
even in moderate quantities, gradually
undermines the nervous system: the
man grows less alert, his senses are
less acute, and when he is injured this
is evidenced by the occurrence. of de-
l1rium tremens.
When the new workmen's compen-
satlon acts come to be fully enforced
employers will begin to realize the
role of alcohol in the production of
accidents for which they will be held
liable, though intoxication may have
been a contributory cause. The re-
suit will doubtless be salutary; the
powerful pocket nerve" will influ-
ence employers to avoid workmen who
use alcohol at all, in order to diminish
the probability of accidents. There is
no computation of the benef1cent re-
suits OF such precautionary measure,
not alone in the saving of life, limb
and property but in the enormous
benefits to the workman and his fam
lily, whose resources, meager enough
at best, would no longer be crippled
by the OUTLAWS involved in illness and
deaths caused or furthered by alcohol.

REMOVE THE TEMPTATION.

The saloon business is a detriment
to the sobriety, the orderliness, the
good morals, the domestic peace, the
industrial well-being of the commun-
ity. Even those who are in 1t for gain
admit that it is bad business. They
know well that the city would be far
better off If the liquor trade were
banished altogether. It's influence
is invariably prejudicial to the public
veal. 1t is not the way to Danish it
to license it. To vote sanction is
not the way to restrict it's ravages.
If prohibition does not entirely pro-
hibit, it does hinder the sale and it
does remove the temptation from
many. 1t is a great aid In the warfare
upon the vice of drunkenness or in
temperance.

began much earlier than it does
now. The purple vestments with
which the Church clothes her
priests on Septuagesima is a re

which should animate the true
Christian from now until the
splendors of an Easter morn burst
upon the world from the confines
of an empty tomb.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 1s, 1918.

In the Divine Office and in the
Mass the Alleluia, indicative of JOY
and gladness, is omitted from
Septuagesima Sunday until Holy
Saturday. The Church puts on
her penitential robe and invites
the faithful to draw nearer the
Saviour with contrite hearts.

of eternal glory"

If people would only act in
accordance with their knowledge
of what is right and wrong there
would be fewer souls shipwrecked,
fewer lives of promise blasted at
the threshold of their careers. But
"our light is greater than our
heat" In other words, we know
better than we do. The heart
leads more people astray than the
mind. Our Lord says Blessed
are the pure Of heart. F." Those who
cultivate a pure heart directed by
an enlightened conscience need
fear no evil.

This year the Sacred Heart Re
view of Cambridge, Mass, will
celebrate the twenty fifth anniver-
Sary of it's foundation. In looking
forward to this milestone in it's
journalistic career it planned to
commemorate the event in an
especial manner. Some time ago
it requested the Holy Father I'd
grant it the privilege of erecting
a chapel or shrine, to be dedicated
to the Sacred Heart, in the
grand Basilica which is being
built in Rome on the site OF
Constantine's victory over Max
entius in the year 313. This
Basilica is to be memorial of
the recognition and freedom
accorded to the nascent Christian
Church by the Roman Emperor
sixteen hundred years ago. The
two shrines in the Basilica hav-
ing already been provided for,
the Sacred Heart Review has been
granted the privilege of donating
the high altar itself, which is to
be dedicated to the Sacred Heart.
This altar will cost twenty-five
thousand dollars and the Sacred
Heart Review calls upon its read
ers to contribute the necessary
amount to enable it to make this
offering on the occasion of its
silver jubilee. No doubt, the many

of that flag which now floats over

cred people?
Aye, more than that. Go back
to the early days Of discovery and
exploration and see if it is possible
to write the history of this land
without bringing in the names of
the Catholic discoveries, explor-
ers, missionaries, organizers, and
pioneers in every field of en-
deavor who helped to make its
boundless possibilities known to
the nations of the earth. 1t is a
matter Of elementary historical
knowledge that the children of the
Catholic Church were the first to
offer the incense of worship to the
Omnipotent God amid the track
less forests and on the unfurrowed
plains Of the new world; and,
relying on the promise of the
Saviour we have every reason to
believe that, when this Republic
has run its course, the devoted
children of the Mother Church of
Christendom who stood sponsors
at its cradle will be foremost
among the loyal citizens who, with
tear-dimmed eyes and sorrow
laden hearts, will chant the final
requiem of true freedom among
the sons of man.

decision. Nelson, under Billy No
lan's management, stopped Britt in
eighteen rounds on their second start
at Colma. In the third bout, in San

er twenty rounds. The last time they
stepped ten rounds without a de-
cision at Los Angeles, and Nelson
was given the popular verdict. Britt

"Beefsteak Punch" Talked About
Britt reminded Nelson of how SILK
the Battler got in the third battle,
after which the Battler claimed a
beefsteak upset him. But admitted
he got a licking that time, and Britt
offered to illustrate the "beefsteak
punch" for us. 1t is nothing more
than good left hook, a delivery at
which Britt was an ade~+.
Then James Edward showed how
the Battler used to whale him in
the clinches, using both hands and
his head at the same time, and the
Dane displayed the blow with which
he offset the "beefsteak left" in their
final combat, a right to the stomach
which started with Jim's left.
They were g pair OF great ring
men in their heydey. They both
fought Joe Cans, Terry McGovern

land at the time. They will 20 down

nized as white champion until Mel

Neither one Of thea cared much for
Cans. In their third battle, which
was not long after Cans won from
Nelson on a foul at Goldheld Cans

coaching the coast star. Britt was
winning. he knew how to fight Mel

Cans squelehed by Both.
When Nelson heard Cans shouting
advice u Britt ne ducked into a
cllnch in the Britt corner and yelled
at the colored man:
After l get through whipping this
dude YOU climb in here and I will

Then Britt turned on Cans:

OSTON, Sept. 2O.-The selection
X Of Robert w. Emmons, 3D. as
the managing director of the
New York syndicate to handle the
new cup boat to be built for the trial
races by Herreshoff is pleasing news
to Boston and New England yachts
men. This syndicate is headed by
Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Bob" Emmons, as Mr. Emmons Is
Familiarity known, Is a broker on
State street, of the firm of Schirmer,
Chaplin & Emmons, and is one Of the
most popular men who has ever han
died tiller rope.
Emmons has been sailing boats
since he was knee high, and he is a
good one. Even the late Charlie"
Barr who put across the line more
cup winners than any other man, ad-
mitted many times that when a man
sailed against Bob Emmons It made
no difference whether he was a pro-
fesslonal or amateur skipper; he had
fight on his hands until his boat
got the gun.
Emmons Had Avenger Built.
1t was Emmons who had the big 10
footer Avenger built to race in a
specified class in the New York Club
races some dozen years ago. The
boat didn't fit the class after IL had
been launched, but Emmons took it
out, and with some allowance he
cleaned up the fleet, took the King S
cup and a few other choice trophies
from the staid old New York Club 5
lockers, and then sold the AVenger
to New York parties.
This boat is so good to-day that it
came along with the New York Club 5
feet this year and made a good clean
up.
Emmons this year sailed success
! fully Harry Payne Whitney's new So
footer Barbara and raced all season
with nine other boats of this type,
| including young Junius s. Morgan's
Grayling. 1t has been great racing
all season. with Emmons well up in
the winnings.
He Raced the Bibelot.
He took the sender boat Bibelot,
built by Herreshoff, and one of the
first Of this famous designers, and
won with it four years ago. This boat
was finally selected to go to Germany
after the Prince Henry gold cup, with
two other Massachusetts sOnders, and
1t won. He made such a race Of this
that the Bibelot was purchased by
| German yaChtSmen and their later de-
signs were patterned after this boat.
Mr.. Emmons served on the German
| and American Race Committee dur
| ing the sender boat races at Marble
head last week.
Clean-Cut sportsman that he is, he
| is out after all the cups and trophies
| that are offered for any race that he
| goes into and with Emmons in the
race handling the long tiller or the
wheel, 1t Away makes a yacht race.
He is and always has been an all
round athlete. While at Harvard he
was one of the best football ends
ever over at Cambridge and was also
crack tennis and ball player.
He is a member of the Eastern
Yacht Club of Boston and the New
York Yacht Club. He will have much
to do with the plans of the new cup
boat that will try for the honor Of de-
Tending the American Cup from Sir
Thomas Upton

sibility for last years upsets are Fred
Merkle, first baseman, and Fred
Snodgrass, one of the best outfeld-
ers in the game. It will be remem-
bered that the latter muffed a fly
ball during one Of the games in Bos-
ton, which let in the deciding runs
for the Red Sox. In the same game,
Merkle failed to go after a pop foul
by Speaker. This lapse cost the
Giants the game.
The fact that these same men
pulled plays OF incredible brilliancy
on other occasions during the series
did not help the result in the least.
That these errors were the effect of
nervousness and anxiety to win is
obvious, but Merkle and Snodgrass
are both seasoned veterans now and
should be able to hold themselves
under control in even the most trying
situations.
But as long as baseball is played
there will De some who will shine
beyond their wonted splendor in

who will play far below their nor
