VERDUN
(By Berton BraleyJ

(By BertOn Bta2ey.)
''Thsy shall not pass!" In dugout and
In trench
The phrase was muttsred - the
.poilus fought. -
The earth and sky were but 4
shAmbles, fraught
With gas and bursting shelfs and
with the drench
OF shrapnel. Yet, In all the battle-
stench,
MID horror heaped on horror past
all thought
The thin line stood. A miracle was
They could not break. the Will that
held the French.
Each human soul must face its own
Verdun
That crisl. when the armies of
despair
Attack the fortress in : serried
mass;
Not by brute strength may this great
light be won,
But only by the Will that can de-
!, clare
IN face Of ali Heirs host, .They
shall not pass!"

Yet this We know. he tried to break

SHOULD WOMEN
KNIT ON SUNDAY?
tBy Rev. Charles ste,zle.)

Let's put It down at the outset that

ters 10 . labor Of love- as we'll a. Or
necessity. And the need n so great
We can't regard ordinary ssSabbath
observance'' rules as final.
The women who knit have always
cooked meals on Sunday. They
have been busy about a lot Of things
Justified by 'the law Of necessity
although much Of their sunday work
q been due either to miamanaee-
ment or their families ~selhshness.
The soldiers need sweaters much
more than most Of us need special
meals and personal service on Sunday.
therefore,. Il it's right that women
should do Sunday work for US under
normal conditions, they should knit
Tor the soldiers on Sunday II they
But. there are other considerations,
and We may as well be honest with
ourselves regarding them.
Much as boys need sweaters.
they need bullets more. And England
a discovered q seven-day week il
bad for munftion workers, and our
government is insisting upon an
eight hour day, eve on war Jobs.
It's true most women who knit
sweaters don't work as hard or as
steadily as munition workers.
Il they do work al hard, they have
no more right to knit sweaters on
Sunday than the munition workers
to work seven days per week:
and II they don't, why can't they put
In more time week days so they won't
be compelled to knit on Sunday?
Honest1y-tsn't it true many women
knit on Sunday because it's . pretty
good way to pass the time? Couldn't
they turn out as much IL they knitted
more systematically during the week ?
This doesn't apply to women whose
work occupies every weekday mo-
their bit in knitting.
It's a question whether under Ger
tatn circumstances some women have
the right to exhaust their strength and
nerves even by knitting for soldiers
on sunday or any other day.
As for knitting on Sunday during
church seFvtces-only one who hasn't
even q glimmering Of what such serv-
ices are for would justify it No

Bad Habits

Those who breakfast at eight o.
clock or later, lunch at twelve and
have dinner at six are almost certain
TO be troubled with indigestion. They
do not allow time for one meal to
digest before taking another. Not
7ess than five hours should elapse be-
tween meals. If you are troubled
with indigestion correct your habits
and take Chamberlain Tablets, and
you may reasonably hope for a quick
recovery. These tablets strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
IFS functions naturally. Obtainable
everywhere. $ Il.

Monday when a pig escaped from a

seem, the pig made straightway for

tripped him up, the Israelite's nose
coming into contact with the sidewalk
and the compact scraping a portion Of
the hump from his probosis. Cursing

and, daubing his nose with salve which
he produced from his grip, he re-
marked: "Dis gompels me to sell mine

How Catholics Stand.

John Whelan of New York, in his
annual address as president Of the
American Federation of Catholic socie-
ties, said, among other things, at
Kansas City, Mo-:
Gail sacrifices demanded of us shall
be met cheerfully. Whether the strug-
gle be long or short, we pledge the I'M
deviating loyalty to our country of
100000 Catholic men and women
united in federation"
Catholics, he estimated, would prove
to be 35 per cent of the American
fighting forces. Active work already
is under way to provide for their
spiritual and physical needs.
"Much as we deplore war, we want
no peace with dishonor or with future
danger to the starry banner or to the
world at large" he said.
From these words, spoken by one 0!
the most patriotic and most Influential
Catholics in the United States, or il
the world, the trend of Catholicism il
relation to the war can readily b.
seen. ..".

So Big He Couldn't Miss 1t.

The average foreigner can rarely
comprehend the geographical area
Of the United States, as was quite
fully illustrated by the -Englishman
and his valet who had been travelling
due west from Boston for five days.
At the end of the fifth day master and
servant were seated in the smoking
car, and it was observed that the man
was gazing steadily and thoughtfully
out of the window. Finally his COM
panion became curious. "William,' -
said he, "of what are you thinking? ?"
~ was just thinking, sir, about the
discovery Of Hamerica," replied the
valet. columbus didn't do such a
wonderful thing, after all, when he
found this country, did he, now sir ?
Halter all's said an done, low could
e 'elp it?"-Everybody's Magazine.

Turned Over to Federal Authorities.

The letter Of DR.. j. H. Dorsey of
Glencoe charging that F. A. Tiegen, a
nonpartisan league spellbinder> (son
of Representative A. F. Tiegen) y ex7
torted $1730 from drafted man for
filling out exemption claim papers, has
been turned over by state officials to
an agent Of the federal department Of
justice for investigation. It is claimed
that Tiegen based the exemption claim
upon the grounds that the drafted man
was an agriculturist when he knew
that such claim would be turned down.
Would not the fact that Tiegen col
lected a sum of money from the draft
ed man for filling out the papers, as
charged by DR.. Dorsey, imply that by
so doing he was practicing extortion?
