To Prevent Auto Freezing

1t very often happens that the auto
mobile owner is responsible for freez-
ing his engine by thinking at won't
get cold enough tonight" and keeps it
up night after night until finally a
night comes when it does get cold
enough, and the result is his cylin-
ders are burst. Freezing water is not
particular just where it breaks a cy-
Under, and frequently it is cracked in
place very hard to weld, and is
thereafter one continual source of
trouble.
A good habit to form is one that,
S%hen you don't know, don't guess, but
drain.
1t Is better to spend time putting in
water than paying to have cylinder
and radiator troubles repaired.
good anti-freezing solution is one
part alcohol, one part glycerin and
four parts water. This solution will
not freeze at twenty degrees below
zero, but it will leak out and evapor-
ate. If you will take a sample every
time you put in extra water, dilute it
a little more than that which is in
your engine and set it in cold place,
you can tell when to put in more alco-
mol GyIcerin will not evaporate, so
often

Negro Firebug COnfesses

tective sent by Governor Harrington,
Arthur Johnson, the negro arrested in
connection with the fire in the stables
of the Chestertown Strawboard Com
pany, recently, has made confession,
acknowledging that he started thai
and two other recent fires in the county.
For several months the people of Kent
county, Md, have been greatly worried
over mysterious fires. The splendid
administration building, William Smith
Hall, at Washington College, Chester
town, was destroyed, the new college
gymnasium partly wrecked and Middle
Hall at the college threatened; William
E. Laud's barn and stable and imple-
ments, completely destroyed; William

GAINS FOR THE GUARDSMEN

There will be gains for the young
militiamen for whom the bugle has
sounded; gains that in many cases will
far more than offset their losses. Sud-
denly they have learned that there is
bigger boss in these States than Busi-
s-obligations which all the ordinary
obligations salute and give way to.
Suddenly they learn that there is a
mortgage on their time and strength
and skill prior to all the liens that it has
been the effort of their young manhood
to satisfy. Suddenly, after being hard
fastened to a task for years, they find
themselves shifted from their vocations
to what has been their avOeation, and
with nothing to do but be soldier.
1t is an immense change; a swapping
of all the little chains that restricted
life; change of thoughts, duties, asso-
Citations and physical and mental habits;
chance to develop in new ways gen.
eral revaluation of men and things. All,
men will not profit by it equally, and
some will be hurt by it. But to very
many it will be stimulating and develop
ing, leaving them better citizens and
broader and more valuable men than it
found them. Fhey will have opened
great window of life and looked out,
and that is worth whiles-LVe.

THE DIOCESES AND THE PENSION FUND
Three millions of dollars have now
been pledged to the Clergy Pension
Fund. 1t is confidently expected that
the remaining two million will be
pledged before March l, 1917, the date
set for the conclusion of the campaign.
1t is evident, however, that in the
collection of the three million, large
percentage of the most generous Church
people have been approached. In Sc
curing two million more, organization
of a very effective sort must be secured
in the dioceses- which have not yet con-
tributed. Every parish is expected to
contribute to this Fund. What are we
going to do? Delaware has pledged her.

ST. BARTHOLOMEW DAY-AUG. oath
"When thou vast under the fg-tree,
l saw thee" St. John 1:58.
St. Bartholomew was one of the
twelve apostles, and is generally be-
lieved to be identical with that Nathan
ael whom Jesus saw ''under the fig
tree,' before mortal eyes could have
discerned him, and of whom He said,
''Behold an Isralite indeed, in whom is
no guile" He preached the Gospel in
Arabia and India, travelled through
Asia, and finally settled in city of Ar
menia; where he was most cruelty
martyred by the idolatrous people whom
he had tried to turn to the faith of
Christ-fayed alive, it is said, by the
order of the king. Let US try to imi-
tate the example of his ready faith and
patient obedience, that we may be
faithful over few things, and, with
him, hereafter, "enter INFO the joy of
our Lord"
Welcome whosoever thou art that en-
terest this Church; Let the Holy Spirit
give thee reverence and bless thee.
We come to pray for one another, to
seek Gods will concerning US and the
world, to share our joys and divide our
sorrows. Is there another institution
like unto the Church? Pray and give,
work and wait, and in all worship.

More Big Fish

Chief Hilyard will have to look well
to his piscatorial laurels for some of
our boys are competing. The other day
the Scribe saw Albert Schuman Juggling
a bass almost half as long as himself a
pound catch and the second pound
haul he or his brother Parker has made
with his patent fancy bait.
The fish of today are up with the
times. They have heard about benzine
buggies and flying machines, ETC., and
so it's none of your old style, dull,
wriggling worms for them, they want
the latest" something that shines like
mirror plate, sparkles and flashes all
colors of the rainbow
The moral of this true fish story"
is, if you would catch big bass or any
sort of fish, go see Mr.. Letherbury and
get one of his pretty painted little gon-
dolas and miniature submarines brist-
ling with hooks that fool the silly fish
every time. Then your hamper will
bulge with the succulent funny trophies.

OBITUARY
DEATH OF JOHN DUNN

Four weeks ago The Transcript an
nounced the retirement of Mr.. John
Dunn, who for thirty-four years had
been in the employ of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and today with much
regret we are called upon to chronicle
his death.
While attempting to descend from
the second floor of his boarding house
last Saturday evening at nine o'clock,
he lost his footing and fell to the hall
way below. About fifteen minutes
later, Mrs. Schuman returned to the
house and found him lying on the floor,
unconscious. She Immediately sum-
moned a physician and his examination
disclosed two large knots on the fore
head and an ugly cash in his temple.
Both the physician and Mr.. and Mrs.
Schuman did everything possible for the
patient, but he never regained con-
sciousness, and the end came peace
fully at 1920 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Since the death of his wife ten years
ago Mr.. Dunn had made his home with
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Schuman, and
after his retirement he continued to
reside with them.
The deceased was II years of age and
came to this country from Dublin, Ire
land, in the year 1868, and had no rela-
tives in the United States.
The funeral services were held at st.
Joseph's R. C. Church, Wednesday
morning at ten o'clock and the remains
were taken to St. Francis Xavier Gene
terry for interment.

Crime Decreasing

Crime and misdemanor is steadily on
the decrease in Colorado, and arrests
have fallen off from month to month
since prohibition, largely through wo-
mems votes, went into effect. Arthur
]. Finch, State Superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League, reported at the
National Convention of the League last
week in Indianapolis that in Denver
alone in January, February, March and
April of this year there were 97S fewer
arrests than during the same months
last year, when the saloons were oper-
ating.
"The Denver county court officials, ="
he said, recently made a statement
that the divorces have dropped 35 per
cent. since the saloons went out of
business.
