Mass was held in the Auditorium last
Sunday morning, Father Barry officiating.
"A car of steel was received in the yard
last Friday for the Blacksmith Shop.
Several teams were busy during the
week bringing in white sand, which has
been stored under the Bath House.
Anyhow we are glad to say that the
Steward kept his word and gave us plenty
of turkey and other good things ON Thanks
giving Day.
Yes the same Christmas sweets will be
purchased as last year and every inmate
will receive the same-provided he donates
his share for the fund.
The basement under the Machine
Shop is so full of material of every descrip-
ton that one is hardly able to find his way
through there. Yet everything is piled up
neatly and in order.
We have seen many interviews take
place at the Deputy's Office, but never such
a long line as that of last Saturday morning.
The orders for Christmas will be a record
breaker.
This truth comes to us more and more
the longer we live that on what field or in
what uniform or with what aims we do our
duty matters very little or even what our
duty is, great or small, splendid or obscure,
only TO find our dutv certainly and some
where or somehow, to do it faithfully
makes US good, strong, happy and useful
men. and tunes our lives into some feeble
echo of the life of God.-Phillips Brooks.

Love

Love is the filling from ones own
Another's cup;
Love is daily laying down
And taking up.
A choosing of the stony path
Through each new day,
That other feet may tread at ease
The smooth way.
Love is not blind, but looks abroad
Through other eyes,
And asks not, "Must l give?' but "May
, l sacrifce?''
Love hides its grief, that other heart
And lips may sing;
And, buoyant, walks that other lives
May buoyant, wing.
Sinner, hast thou love like this
Within thy soul1
Twill change thy name to saint, ere thou
Hast reached thy goal.

Leaves From Our Poets.
Do Apple Seeds Point Up
Or Down

When teacher called the Apple class, they
gathered round to see
What question deep in apple lore their tasks
that day might be.
"Now tell me- said the teacher, to little
Polly Brown,
"Do apple seeds grow pointing up, or are
they pointing DOWN."
Poor Polly didn't know, for she had never
thought to look
(And that's the kind of question you can't
find in book-)
And of the whole big Apple class not one
small pupil knew
If apple seeds point up or down! But then,
my dear, do you.-Carolym Wells

Somebody's Worse off Than
You

When you look around with envy
On the men who We more than you
Do you ever stop and ponder
There's lots their wealth won't dor
Will it buy place in heaven?
Can it buy love pure and truel
Could it buy that little baby,
Who is waiting home for your
When your heart is sad and heavy,
And you re feeling bad and blue,
Do you ever stop and think awhile,
There's lots worse off than you?
Don't you know there's more behind you.
You are not the last one in the racer
There's many fellow that you know
Would gladly take your place.
We spend so much time wishing
For things we haven't got
That we can't enjoy the blessings
We have, and know them not.
So don't look on with envy,
Twill make you sour and old;
You've very many blessings
That can't be bought with gold
Do not think all are happy
Just because they have wealth.
Why! All the money in the world
Can't by one hour of health!
So if you're we'll, be happy;
Thank God both day and night
For giving you what wealth can'tbuy-
A good big appetite.

STEEL MAKERS TO ADJ

q
\ Washington, March 8. - Machinery
looking to the prompt execution of his
program for speeding up naval con-
was set in motion today by
Secretary Daniels. He conferred with
representatives of the major ship
building companies and later with
Secretary Wilson of the labor depart
ment and Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation OF Labor.
Difficult Task.
President Wilson called at the navy
department during the day and talked
with Mr.. Daniels. The president was
told that even With an emergency
fund of more than $i00.0o0.ooo now
available, backed by authority to re-
quire preference for navy orders and
If necessary to take over ship yards
or other plants. it would be a difficult
task to get ships rushed to completion.
The, ship builders will present to-
morrow detailed statements OF what
they might be able to do with adj
ditional funds in the way OF speeding
up. They will also show just what ad-
ditional work each plant may be able
to undertake.
Skilled Labor Scarce.
The most serious problem Is that
of securing skilled labor Mr.. Daniels
asked the advice of Secretary Wilson
and Mr.. Gompers as TO what steps to
take to increase the supply Of labor
in the ship trales.
"A conference OF steel makers and
other concerns which supply material
for the navy will be called shortly to
be followed by similar meetings with
Of smaller ship build
ing companies, which are not now en-
gagged on government work.
Must Serve Country:
The president under the law has the
power to require such companies to
place their full facilities at the dis
posal Of the government by issuing
proclamation declaring an emergency
TO exist.
Secretary Daniels saids the ship
builders with whom he conferred to-
day showed every desire to cooperate
with the government. He pointed out
however, that where he wished to
talk about building destroyers In a
year. the ship builders talked of two
years.
The. great stress will be laid, 1t is
understood on quick construction of
the smaller craft, such as submarine
chasers, submarines and destroyers.' At
the same time the eight new capital
ships, five battle cruisers and three
monster dreadnaughts, must be laid
down in addition to new scout cruisers.
To obtain submarine chasers the de-
partment plans to call upon small boat
builders along both coasts, the hulls
to be of wood In order to relieve the
steel trades and steel workers of this
strain.

He tries his very best;
So let us cease to always call
