The great problem confronting the public speak
er, the amusement promoter, the politician seeking
office. and the business man, is just this:
"How can we effectualy reach people-great
crowds of people-without expending enormous
sums?
"What can we do to assure hearing-or a read
ing-of our message by large audiences, and not pay
too dearly for the privilege"
The degree of success reached by the speaker,
the promoter the politicians, the business man. de-
pends very largely how much he knows of the art
Of reaching many people without overspending.

WOMEN NEVER CAN SEE JOKE
This Was Browns Conclusion After He
Had Recounted One That Had
Been Told to Him.

latter had a parcel under his arm, and
Brown, always inquisitive, wanted to
know what it contained.

know, I've just bought a pair of CATERS
very nice ones, too"
"Where at?" asked Brown.
"Oh, I don't know the name, but
it's a little shop just down that alley
across there" said Johnson.
"Ha-ha!" laughed Brown, who al
ways liked his little joke, then they
must be alley-gaiters."
This so tickled Johnson that he
made up his mind that he must tell
that to his wife, so, on reaching home,
he burst into the room, and laughed
until his wife thought he would never
stop.
| She could not make out what on
earth was the joke, so Johnson started
to tell her.
"Ha-ha, he-he. Oh, Tor, such joke
I just met Brown, and he asked me
what I'd got in my parcel.
IT told him I'd bought a new pair of
leggings, but didn't know the name of
the shop, but it was just down the
court.

out of it. He said, Good Then

upon the men who had volunteered for
his proposed division to France to dis

CHRISTMAS IN THE NAVY
SPECIAL CELEBRATION ALWAYS

No matter where they happen to be
stationed, Uncle Sans "Jackies'' al
ways give special attention to celebra-
ton OF. the feast Of Christmas. The
men are granted special leave of alb
sence to visit their families, if within
a reasonable distance. When chance
locates them ip a foreign port, they
are allowed exe9a 'shore leave and
usually make trips to some interesting
city, paying visit, if. possible, to
some famous church for the Christmas
services. They are also given one
of the most elaborate dinners of the
year, whether In port or at sea; for
if it becomes necessary at this season
to take voyage, stores for the Christ
mas dinner are taken on board before
sailing.
In port the ship is decorated with
green's both inside and out, and the
day is devoted TO making Christmas
merry for the men, whose duties re-
quire'them to remain on board or near
the ship. Sports and games add to
the pleasure OF the day; and in the
evening the ships minstrel troupe gen
orally gives an entertainment. The
singing of Yuletide carols is a, delight
full feature of Christmas eve.

Jerusalem Delivered
REJoIciNGS IN ROME AT HOLY
LAND LIBERATION.

The news of. the liberation of the
Holy Land from Turkish domination
was received in Rome with great re-
joicing. The Holy Father has natural
1y been following with keen interest
all the steps that led up to the tri-
umph. The exigencies of his position
of strict impartiality and neutrality
prevent him from giving utterance to
opinions of political nature.
On purely religious grounds solemn
services were held in Rome on Sun
day, December 16 by order of the Car
dinal Vicar, in the Church of Santa
Croce in Gerusalemme, where all
day large crowds of the faithful
were present. In the evening an
immense concourse filled the church
and the entire square in which
it stands as the tie Deum' was
being sung. The Cardinal Vicar
gave benediction from the steps of the
church. The bells of all the Roman
churches rang out in celebration of the
event, that of st. Peters leading.

CHURCHES INJURED, AND TWO
PROBABLY RUiNED-CoNvENTS
DAMAGED.

A special correspondent Of The
Catholic Register of Toronto, Canada,
resident in Halifax and thoroughly
familiar with Catholic affairs there,
sent, on Monday, December IL, the fol-
lowing reliable account of the extent
of the blow sustained by the Church
in Halifax in the terrible catastrophe
that has overtaken that city:
st. Joseph's parish suffered most
severely, as it includes the totally
devastated area within a radius of
about half mile of the point in the
harbor where the munition steamer
exploded. st. Joseph's Church, Glebe
House, convent, public school, and
Young Mems Hall, are all in ruins.
The parish comprised over six hun
dred families, one hundred and sew
enty-five of whom are totally wiped
out. There are not more than twenty
families who have not to mourn one
or more members. An appalling num-
ber of people will be totally blind or
otherwise grievously MANNED.
Father Grey. who had just finish.
ed saying Mass and was in the church
at the time, was pinned in the debris
but was rescued with only slight in

who had only recently returned from

and who also had a narrow escape
during one of the air raids in Eng
