NO DRIVING SEASONS
Auto Riding as Enjoyable in Fall
and Winter as During Sum-
mer Months.
EXTRA CARE is NECESSARY
During Extremely Cold Weather Radi-
ator Must Not Be Left UnduIy Elk
posed-Lubrication and Cool
ing Systems Also Need to
Be Watched.

With the present day development
of the automobile, there is no longer
a question of driving seasons for the
motorists to ponder over Several
years ago the average automobile
owner would look for safety of ga
rage for his car over the winter
months, just as soon as the first snow
began to fly. Now, however, 1t is the
exception rather than the rule for a
car TO be put in dead" storage at any
time Of the year, and thousands of mo-
florists in this country take particular
delight in touring over roads during
the fall and winter months. There Is
a strange fascination to winter driving
in the suburbs that holds a number OF
car owners in its spell.
With the increased use of cars dur
ing the winter there has developed
tendency on the part of number oil
owners to neglect the care OF GER
tain parts of their cars. One of the
most frequent difficulties encountered
by the winter motorist is brought
about by neglecting to take care OF
the fabrication and cooling systems
of his car. It is not unusual to see
the car standing unattended and with
it's radiator entirely exposed to the
cold winter blasts. If car is left IN
this state for lengthy period its driv-
er is certain to have trouble in start
ing the motor, and occasionally too
lengthy period of exposure develops
serious expensive damage. The safest
way to avoid trouble of this nature is
10 use an anti-freezing mixture in the
radiator. Perhaps the most simple
and most effective preventative of
freezing is a two to one solution of
alcGlol and water. BY filing the radi-
ator with such a mixture the motor
will be safe from freezing on even
the coolest days. A lighter grade of
cylinder oil might be used to good eff
feet during the winter. An owner is
apt to neglect to lubricate the small
parts of his car during this time of
the year. Instead of paying the same
attention in this direction as he would
in the summer.
Another remedy, and very effective,
is to equip your car with dash-prim-
ing device. Just before attempting to
start the car, inject considerable gaso-
line into the cylinder and thereby in
crease the possibilities of the mixture
firing quickly. These are but a few
suggestions for the winter motorist,
but if they are followed much of the
annovances SO often encountered will
be eliminated.

1t is not too early to select the hens

ers. 1t will be too late about the time
you are ready to set the first eggs if
raising early and productive stock is
your object. Then you will not know

now is the time to select these.

THE CARE OF MAYNARD
GIRLS.

The problem of caring for way
ward girls is one which is receiv-
ing considerable attention from
social workers at the present time.
1t is even more difficult of solu-
ton than that of how to deal with
erring boys whose misdemeanors
have brought down upon them
the Christening hand Of the law.
Like other States in the Union,
Minnesota has made provision for
the care and possible reformation
of Maynard girls in the State
School for Girls at Sank Center.
This institution is, undoubtedly,
as good as any Of its kind, in so
far as it provides its inmates with
all that is necessary for their
physical welfare. It gives them
everything that a state school OF
this character can give in the way
of educational uplift, or appeal to
their better nature; but il ID def
cient, as such Institutions must
inevitably be, in providing the
proper foundation and incentive

WHAT ABOUT THE CATHOLIC
ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX?

The Catholic Encyclopedia, in
fifteen volumes, was completed a
year ago. At that time it was an
nounced that an Index would be
issued in the course of a few
months. We were told that this
additional volume was contem-
plated from the beginning Of the
work and that it's preparation
would, therefore, require only a
comparatively short time. What
has caused the delay in the publ
cation of it?
While the Catholic Encyclopedia
was in course of preparation we
were kept informed in regard to
the progress Of the work. Since
the fifteenth volume was issued
from the press in December, 1912,
nothing has been heard from the
publishers except that the Index
Volume would soon be issued.
In justice to those who subscribed
for the Catholic Encyclopedia this
volume should have appeared
many months ago. Why has it
not yet come from the press?
Without this Index the Enclo-
pedia is robbed of much of its
value as a book Of reference. In
very many cases one has to guess
under which of several possible
headings the subject in which he
is interested is treated. By rare
luck his first guess may prove the
correct one; but, as general rule,
he has to search a long time and
even them his efforts may not be
rewarded. By all means let us
have the Index at once, or, at least
let us know when it will be ready
for distribution.

In recent issue we announced
that the Catholic women of the
Archdiocese of St. Paul will have
the honor and privilege of provid-
ing all that is needed for the fur
nishing and decoration of the
chapel Of the Blessed Virgin Mary
in the new Cathedral. When COM
pleted, this chapel will be the out
ward expression of their love for
the Mother of God and tes-
timony of their gratitude for the
many favors and blessings OBJ
tanned through her powerful inter
cession.
We are pleased to announce
that the Sisters Of ST. Joseph, their
pupils and friends, have signifed
their intention Of furnishing the
chapel of st. Joseph, the patron
of the Community. The devout
clients, Of the foster father Of the
Saviour will, no doubt, gladly
come to the assistance of the Sis
tiers of st. Joseph and enable them
to make this chapel a devotional
shrine for all who would honor
their glorious patron. Contribu-
tions for this purpose should be
sent to the Sisters Of st. Joseph,
st. Joseph's Academy, st. Paul,
Mimi.

The Epiphany of our Lord
which occurs next Tuesday,
January 6, is not HOLIDAY Of
obligation. Nevertheless, it is a
festival Of devotion on which all
who can conveniently attend Mass
should do so.
AS the name indicates Epi-
phany means manifestations
commentaries the day on which
the infant Jesus was revealed, or
manifested, to the Gentle world
IN the persons of the Magi who
came from the East to visit Him.
The Epiphany is the complement
of the Nativity. The visit of the
shepherds to the crib on Christ
mas night revealed the Infant
Saviour to the chosen people
whom they represented. But the
Saviour came for the salvation of
all; and the universally of His
mission was made apparent when
the three Eastern kings who rep
resented the great world outside
Judaism offered to Him, on behalf
Of the Gentiles, the homage of
alteration and love symbolized by
their gifts of gold, of franklin
cense and myrrh.

According to the New York
Tribune, statistics compiled by
Frederick L. Hoffman, show that
in 1912, there were 1874 murders
in thirty large cities of the United
States-a rate of 81 in every 100,-
900 of the population. In this re-
gard the United States stands in
marked contrast to Italy, whose
people we are inclined to look
upon as a nation of stiletto-users,
among whom the rate per 100000
is only SO. In New York City
the murder rate per 100000 was
60; in Paris, SO, and in London
only 1.31.
Whittier are we tending in the
United States? Respect for life
and the rights of our fellowmen
do not seem to be a strongly in
grained national characteristic.

THE SHEPHERDS MASS
SINGULARLY PICTURESQUE cERE-
MONY IN THE HILLS OF.
ALASKA.

A little known and singularly pic
turesque religious ceremony takes
place every Christmas eve in Alassia,
known as the Shepherds Mass, says a
writer in Travel and Exploration. It
is celebrated in the Church Of St.
Ambroglio.
After the priest has given an adj
dress and amid the solemn strains of
the organ there is seen advancing
slowly up the aisle a tell, venerable
shepherd, the patriarch of his clan.
He bears on his arms, carrying it
carefully and tenderly, young lamb,
snowy white.
The whole congregation is in a
state of strained attention The shep-
herd boys press forward in their ex-
element; the older shepherds are
anxious, and the shepherdesses hang
on their husbands arms, for to them
this is a moment of supreme interest
The shepherd, calm and direct, ap-
proaches the sanctuary steps. The
priest meets him, and, taking the
lamb in his arms, sprinkles it with
holy water, signs it with the Sign OF
the Cross and returns it to the shep-
herd, who, with reverent bow, silent.
ly and slowly walks down the aisle
and passes out into the night to the
hills.

ing year, asd happy throng Of shep-

AN APPALLING RECORD.

Investigations in the Munich hos
pitfalls have proved that "one in
every Is hospital patients died of the
disorder known as the "beer-drinkers'
heart" France is the land of high
wines, but alcoholism is ominously on
the increase there. Forty-five per
cent of the murderers, 81 per cent of
the incendiaries, and 70 per cent Of
the thieves are shown by the prison
statistics of France to be alcoholic
subjects. From the effects of alcohol
alone France loses yearly 10000 in
fants under one year old, and 100000
under ten years. Is not this an ap-
palling record? Is it any wonder the
Church there is passing through a
great crisis? During the years 1861
to 1865, inclusive, there entered the
asylums of France 1888 insane per-
sons. In the same space of time, 20
years later, there entered more than
$1,000. What was the principal
cause? "Dr. Serieux made researches
and found that of relapsed cases 70
per cent were drinkers, while of
violent lunatics SO per cent were
drinkers" Writing on the quantity of
alcohol consumed in the region of the
Lower Seine, Louis Fourdot says that
in almost all the cases of insanity
among men alcohol is the efficient
cause" And Krafftebing maintains
that "all forms of insanity, from
melancholia to imbecility, are found
in alcoholism"
We applaud the sentiments of Sir
Henry Grattan Bellew, who at the
last meeting of the Irish Association
for the Prevention of Intemperance
said Gas reported in the "Freeman's
Journal" November 22): Let no
drunkard ever call himself a patriot
or ever talk of patriotism. The
drunkard was the greatest traitor to
his land and race. He was criminal
whose crime might keep on multiply
ing for centuries to come" This is
strange language of Christian Irish
man, who does not mince his words
and who has the courage of his con-
victions. 1t is certainly justified, as
shown, by the dreadful circumstances
of the case.

THE USE OF THE PRAYER
BOOK AT MASS.

The Most Reverend Archbishop
preached the sermon at the late
Mass on Christmas Day in the
Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception, Minneapolis. After Mass
he took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to speak of the new Pro
Cathedra! Of st. Mary, and an
nounced that it's formal opening
would take place on the first Sun
day Of May.
"The new Cathedral, ?" the
Archbishop said, twill not be in
full readiness before that date.
Several additions must be made
to the building itself; and T be-
lieve, that the people themselves
will not be in readiness before
that time. During the service
noticed that large number of
those assisting at Mass were with
out prayer books. Now, a ruling
will be made, or if not, it should
be made, that no one will be adj
mitted to Mass in the Pro-Cathe-
dral unless he or she is provided
with a prayer book. ask Father
Cullen to order, between now and
the first Sunday Of May, a whole
carload of prayer books. / say
deliberately, a carload, for that
number of books will be needed
Judging from what I now know
to be the case. "
The Archbishop is right. It is
hard to understand why prayer
books at Mass have gone out, OF
use; but such is the fact. There
may be some excuse for this
neglect of the prayer book al
Mass in churches like the Immacu
late Conception where stained
glass windows render the interior
so dark that it is hardship tt
! read a prayer book. And yet, by
some strange faulty, pastors ex
pend large sums of money in pro
viding their churches with stained
glass windows which exclude thu
light of heaven and render then
so dark that artificial light il
necessary to enable those who us,
prayer books to read them.
1t is difficult to see how peopl,
can follow the Mass with any de
gree of devotion without the use O.
prayer books. It is almost impos
sible to avoid distractions at Mas
when telling the beads or counting
the prayers on one s fingers. With
out the use of a prayer book how
can the faithful take part in tn,
Holy Sacrifice according to tn,
spirit of the Church? How cal

isolated example OF Rome oppo-
sition to public institutions of all
kinds, but is merely one of the
means she employs to retard the
wheels of progress.
There was nothing in the lecture
to commend it to the attention of
any man of common sense. 1t was
the same old story of baseless de-
nunciation and downright misre-
presentation which has been re-
hashed in every age Of bigotry for
the delectation of dupes who are
as ignorant of the facts of history
and of the teaching of the Church
as the lecturers themselves. The
whole harangue would serve as
excellent copy for the Menace,
were it not that it has already
appeared, substantially, in that
vile sheet. Yet strange to say,
Van Meters incoherent talk re-
ceived generous applause from the
greater part of the audience-an
indication that the majority of
those who went to hear him were
already marked with the same
brand Of bigotry.

notice this so-called lecture were
it not for the fact that a number
of men engaged in business in this
city were interested listeners. In
order that our Catholic people and
the public at large may know who

AN EVIDENCE OF DECAY.

A young man asked me once how
lean progress, and gave him this
statement: ANY race, nation or
civilization which permits its annual
drink bill to reach the fearful sum of
nearly two thousand millions, when
millions of its citizens have barely
enough food and clothes for existence,
is not progressing, but decaying.
Capitalism, not the appetites of mems
is the root, trunk and branch of the
drink evil, because it plants distilleries
and breweries and saloons where none
existed before, and is determined that
it's business shall increase until every
human being is buying and drinking
all that he can digest of alcoholic
wares"
"Then you do not recognize the
validity of the argument that beers
and wines and liquors have the same
standing in the market, and therefore
the same rights, as groceries and
meats and fruits and vegetables?"
81 shall be willing to recognize it
when opium, morphine, cocaine and
all the other drugs acquire the pres
ent privileges Of their sister drug,
alcohol. Why they should be banned
by law and alcohol thrust into your
view and use in every saloon, on
every sign-board, forced almost into
your mouth by legislation framed
by distillers, brewers and saloon
keepers is not easy to understand"
-KeD. John 2. Smith In the APE Maria
