During the twelve months of 1915 the average car loading amounted to 1875 tons. In 1916, this was increas- ed to 17.11 tons, or 1.36 tons more put into each car. In the first six months of 1917 the average car load sing of 1923 tons was an increase over the corresponding period of 1916 of 1.62 tons, and over 1915 by ".68 tons.
 The New Haven is continually striv- ing to show still furhter improvement in. the loading of it's freight cars. The company is obtaining the active sup port and assistance of shippers and consignees, to whom is due much of the credit for the improvement already recorded.
 Some idea of what can still be ac- complished may be had from the fact that if the average car loading could be further increased by only 1 ton 1000 pounds-it would mean a saving of 121,996 cars a year, or 10,166 cars a month.
 With the government making unpre- cedented demands on the railroads in order to facilitate the prosecution of the war, the New Haven is redoubling it's efforts to attain this increased loading. The company is continuing to impress upon the shipping public that it is it's patriotic duty to load cars to their full cubic or weight capacity in order that freight may be handled more expeditiously and efficiently, and thereby help to make the railroads more efficient servants of the govern ment.

ANCIENT BUILDING RESTORED, Public Spirited Contributors Have Preserved Old Store at Norwich Town.

In the restoration of Joseph Car penter's store of ancient date situ- ated on the Norwich Town Green, the architect is succeeding in a large de- gree in putting the building back to the time when the town green with office, jail, liberty tree, three tav- erns, four or five stores, and printing offices, was the center where all the settlements of the town eliminated"

Places where were doors and windows were unexpectedly found, and these are being recut making ad ditional light in the building. A trap door and down a ladder to the cellar which has been cleaned and put in order, way to the loft. a new floor. are among the Improvements. The building has been shingled, clap boarded newly, the foundation made firm, and new sills installed. Here is the old chimney with the forge of the silversmith, Gardner Carpenter who in 1904 piled his trade. In one part of his bench probably stood, also the table for the variety. of articles on sale. On the other side his brother Joseph kept groceries. It is said by the oldest resident on the Green that in former times the principal articles for sale were Porto Rico molasses and Jamica rum.

NEW HAVEN ROAD
 INCREASES AGE LIMIT
Railroad Will Employ Both Younger and Older Men in Operating. De-
 Partment.

The New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has taken steps to employ both younger and older men in the Operating depart ment than have been accepted here tofore. The old age limits were 21 years to 35 years. Under the new plan the limits for firemen will be IS to 45 years, for trainmen, Is to 50 years; and for other employees, Is to 60 years.
 This action has been taken as a means of assisting the government in the prosecution of the war. The new limits take in men not subject to the draft act, and will tend to reduce to minimum applications for exemp- tions due to industrial occupation that would arise otherwise prevail in re- spect to railway men.
 For six months ending June, 1917 the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company showed marked improvement in the average revenue tons per loaded car mile as compared with previous corresponding periods. The average car loading for the first six months of this year was 1923 tons. This compares with 1861 tons in the corresponding period last year, and 1855 tons in 1916.
 There has been a steady improve ment in car loading reported by the New Haven for the past three years.

STIRRING WORDS FROM A JESUIT

Rev. Felix Restrepo, S. j., has some
stirring words to say on the subject of
foreign missions, which we quote:
THE present century is the provi-
dental hour for the conversion of un-
believers; in this century is to be
fought battle, perhaps a decisive
one, in which Buddhism, Brahminism,
Mohammedanism, Professionalism, Ra-
tionalism and the Catholic religion
will all take part.
ITO win the victory, the Church
counts on the heroism of her mission
aries, sisters and other workers in the
mission fields. But this is not enough;
it is absolutely necessary that the en-
tire body of Catholics take part in the
enterprise and help it on with their
money, with their sympathy, with
their words, with their influence.
1T is essential that, as the soldiers,
during the long days spent in the
trenches, gun in hand, under a rain of
fire, feel themselves strong and irwin
chile, because behind them the heart
of the nation beats vigorously, so, too,
the missionaries, during the long
years spent with the apostles weapons
in hand, in distant and deadly eli
mates, shall feel that behind them the
entire Catholic world is moving, act
ing, full of enthusiastic interest for
them and for their work"

DoN,Ts FOR MOTHERS.


A writer in recent issue of Moth
erss Magazine gives some very peril
nent advice to mothers in regard to
their attitude with their children. She
says in part. Don't think that the
moment you are alone with your boy
or girl you must find fault or endeav-
or to improve the occasion by a little
moralizing, no matter in how loving
a spirit. This is. hard don't, for no
one is so anxious to help a child to-
ward perfection as is the parent, yet
it surely leads to an avoidance Of the
moments alone together, which should
be times of happy condolences.
Neither should parent correct
the child before others. Never mind
if well meaning relative does say,
My dear, i am surprised that you do
not show more force of character;
your children are suffering from a
lack of discipline Pass the matter
over till you and the small offender
can have it out alone. # the circum-
stances are such that it cannot be
passed over take him out OF the

SEE THE FUNNY SIDE.

Humor proves to be the saving
clause of many distressing situation.
The trouble with most of us is that we
take our troubles altogether too seri-
ously. We fail to. see the funny side
of things that for the moment concern
us, even though we. are quick to grasp
it when we are mere onlookers.
In the face of gathered clouds that
seem to shut out the sunshine forever
it is not a bad idea to remind our
selves that this old mother earth has
been revolving on her axis for count
less ages, that generations of men
have come and gone for thousands of
years, and that the march of human
progress has gone right along in the
forward direction despite what seem
ed to be occasional setbacks.
Laugh and the world laughs with
YOU" There is humor in nearly
every situation if we can only see it
from the right angle. Those of us
who try to smile in adversely and
think how much more laughable it
would be if conditions we're reversed,
at least feel less uncomfortable over
it and take pleasure in looking for
ward to the time when the shoe will
be on the other foot.

BRINGING IN THE SHEEP THAT
HAD sTRAYED. :

Conversions, as rule, are lasting
in the mission countries, but now and
again pagan surroundings are too
much for those new to the Faith.
Father Frassen, a Holy Ghost Faith
er in Africa, tells of the recent death
of one of his former mission school
boys. Joseph by name.
This young man, after leaving the
mission school, unfortunately forgot
the good advice that he, had there re-
ceived and drifted from bad to worse.
AT last he was taken seriously sick,
and Father Frassen happened to hear
of it, although the young man was
living in a village a great distance
from the mission.
He at once decided that he must
go to Joseph and try to win him back
before it was too late. The neighbors,
however, endeavored to persuade the
priest not to go, telling him that the
journey was a very dangerous one and
that he was not strong enough to at
tempt it. They agreed to go them.
selves and bring Joseph to him, and
to this arrangement the Father con
sented.
They started off in a heavy rain, and
two days later returned with poor Jo-
seph, who lived just long enough to
make his peace with God. He now
lies buried near the little church in
which he was baptized.

FROM AN EPISCOPAL BISHOP.

The Rev. DR.. William T. Manning,
rector of Trinity Church in New
York, has been elected Bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese of West
ern New York, of which Buffalo is
the episcopal see. Trinity Church,
New York, is the largest and the rich.
est Episcopal parish in the world.
DR.. Manning is a leading figure in
the High Church" branch of the
Episcopal Church, which has most of
the doctrines, practices and ritual
services of the Catholic Church with
out admitting the primacy of the Pope.
Many high" Episcopalians favor a
union with the Holy See, and from
their ranks many converts are re-
ceived. The so-called "Ritualists," I"
who also call themselves Catholics" J"
are particularly favorably disposed
toward the Catholic Church. DIR. Man
ming is chairman of the Committee on
Faith and Orders, which is reaching
out in every direction to bring Epis-
Copalians into closer union with the
Catholic Church. AS one of the fore
most advocates of unity he has often
taken part in services at the altars of
the Eastern Church.
Toward the end of October, 1915, a
lively scene was precipitated at the
quarterly session in New York City
of the Protestant Episcopal Board of
Missions, when DR.. Manning and an
other prominent clergyman and three
Bishops resigned from the board, be-
cause the latter would not rescind it's
decision to participate in the forth

i Rev J. ]. Williams, s. j., knows
some of the hardships of apostolic life,

ing abandoned infants, as it is in

coming Pan-Protestant Congress at
Panama. Dr. Manning and his asso-
ciates regarded that Congress as an
affront to Catholics and an obstacle to
Christian unity.
Bishop Weller of Fond du Lac,
Wis, one of the three Bishops who re-
signed, said that siding with Pan
Professionalism at that time was pecu-
liarly unfortunate, for the Anglican
community, including both the Eng
lish and Episcopal Churches, had al
ways regarded itself as an intermedi-
ary between the Catholics and the
>Protestants.
"The Catholics can understand us, ;"
he said, "for we have orders and a
priesthood and an episcopate. We
can treat with them with the idea of
bringing about unity and help in draw
ing all Christian bodies into one fold"
The Bishop said he and the Rev. DR..
William T. Manning we're members of
Congress on Faith and Orders,
which had church unity for its ulti-
mate goal. Letters had been inter-
changed between members of a COM
mittee of this congress and the Papal
Secretary of State just before the out
break of the European war.
"It was the intention" said the
Bishop, eventually to send delega-
tion of Episcopal bishops from this
country to confer with the Pope on
this matter, but everything was stop
ped by the war. After that conflict is
over, l think the hearts of men will
be more disposed toward religion and
something can be done. l do not ex-
pect to see church unity come in my
life, but l believe it will some day."

GOING HOME.

'Tis worth the score of years to be
returning
Back DER smooth sea with track
of foam.
There's gray frost on the pane, and
turf-fire burning,
And young eyes watching for the
coming home.
All, you'd be glad, too, to hear the en-.
gines pounding,
And you going back where white
fields are spread.
Your heart would run before, so you'd
soon be rounding
The Moorna hills, behind near
Kerry Head.
Goodbye to the city where my heart
was pining
For speck of the sky, for a blade
of dewy grass
In Creelabeg there's a gentle sun
a-shining
Between the showers that dance for
you and pass.
All, Creelabeg! / can't live on with
out you,
So I'm going back with Christmas
- in the air.
l went from you, but never did l
doubt you
Put fresh turf ON, dears; will soon
be there!
