LONG COURTSHIPS SINFUL
Priest Sees Menace to Nation in TO-
100000 Unwed.

Most of the 100000 bachelor
of the United States are detriment
to the nation, said Rev. Father John
A. Gabriels at st. Peters and Paul's
Cathedral, on Adelaide street, De
troit, Mich, Wednesday night in his
sermon on matrimony. The crowd
was so great that many were turned
away.
1.-The church urges early marri-
ages, for marriage is the natural
state of man." said Father Gabriels.
Every girl should be married at the
age of rs years, and every man be-
tween the ages of rs and so.
There is sin and misery in long
courtships," continued Father Ga
briefs. 1.-The two get tired of one
another before they get started. A
man usually makes the excuse that
he will not marry until he can give
the girl all the comforts her parents
gave her. He forgets it took the pa
rents many years to accumulate
what made it possible for them to
provide those comforts. 4 man usu-
ally does not begin to save until he
gets married.
1.-The seven sins-priGe. covet-
BUSINESS, lasciviousness, anger, glut-
tony, envy and sloth-lie a. the basis
of the bachelor state of existence"
the priest declared.
Father Gabriels said it was very
often a selfish mother who stood in
the way of a marriage O. her chill
dren. He told of a case that had
come under his own experience
that of a man and woman who
waited 80 years because the mother
thought she needed the earnings OF
her daughter to buy not The neces-
sites, but the luXuries, of life.
THE mother who thus stands in
the way of marriage is guilty of
SIM" said Father GabrielS.

Woman Preparedness

Not all the preparedness for the
approaching conflict, in which Amer
lea seems doomed to be precipitated,
is being done in the shipbuilding
yards and the munitions factories;
neither are the men who are plann-
ing to form the first line of defense
the only factors in the issue; nor are
the wealthy people in the large cities
the only ones who are showing their
patriotism at this critical moment.
Not all war depends on powder,
fighting. and money, but part of it
hangs on 1.-The folks back home, who
must guard the families of the sol
diers and sailors. and also help to
keep those on the firing line supplied
with proper clothing, bandages and
other things which cheer and COM
fort the men who are bearing the
brunt of the battle.
Some of the far-sighted women of
Cambridge organized frst-aid class
several weeks ago. and since that
time they have been diligently apply
ing their time to the study of allie
Waiting the pain of anyone who
might be so unfortunate as to meet
with an accident and suffer an in
jury Joining this class did not mean
that everyone who became a member
promised to become nurse. but, on
the contrary, it meant that all those
who declared their intentions OF
taking the course, would be ready IN
case of emergency, whether it be OF
the battlefield or in the home.
Woman preparedness is one of the
soul,stirring topics of the day; i,
reaches depths that the erection OF
forts and arsenals does not touch; Ii
is more important than the con,
struction of an armored cruiser. Wo-
mans preparedness is the opposite OF
mans; his is to meet the enemy ano
fight until either injury or death en-
sues, while woman's duty is to pre-
pare to take the fragments of the
human body which survive the con
flict, and through medical attention
and kindness, revive in that life the
yigor and strength which it once
possessed. Man prepares his hear,
against the weapons which cause the
blood to flow; while woman, in her
self-sacrifcing way, steels her heart
against the foes which pierce and
break the minds and bodies of the
wives and mothers of the men who
patrol the seas, and protect Ameri-
ca from invasion, and the lives of
her citizens, and commerce.
The Cambridge women are called
upon right now to aid in the pre-
paredness movement. Governor
Harrington, during his visit to this
city last week, made several sugges-
lions as to the various ways in which
women may aid during the present
crisis. Mrs. Harrington has request
ed that knitting classes be formed.

ship Maryland. There are several
sewing circles in Cambridge, and it
would not be surprising to hear that
these young women, who, in the
past, have embroidered the most ex-
quisite patterns for interior home
furnishings, or have cleverly used
the crochet needle until some rare
design has been perfected, have sud
denly decided to put aside their own
work and knit for the sailors who

HIRE L o
IRAISINGS SATURDAY

Saturday was not only Tag day in
Gardiner but Flag day as we'll. Never
before have the citizens, both from pri-
yate residences and places of business,
been so prolific in the display of the
national colors as at the present time,
and on Saturday three of Gardeners
largest manufacturing plants added to
the display.
At the factory Of the r. P. Hazard
Company eight large flags, purchased
with funds contributed by the employees
of the various departments. were flung
to the breeze amid the martial music of
Hazards Band and great enthusiasm.
Over the main entrance was a portrait
of President Wilson, framed with small
American flags. From the platform
erected in front of the building speeches
were made by r. F. Hazard and Hon.
George ". Heselton of this city. Both
these patriotic gentlemen urged that all
stand in readiness to serve their coun-
try when the call came to them. in ev-
cry possible way. Mr.. Hazard upheld

stress on the fact that danger is even

might do something. even though they
could not go to the front. Efficient
economy should be practiced by all and
