How to Eliminate the Dangerous Glars
In Front Of You.
Elimination Of glare from automobile
headlights is r1diculously easy when
the headlights are hang on forked
brackets. according to George 8. Waite,
sales manager Of a large motorcar cor.
poration. He says:
THE problem Of headlight glare.
which Is not only inconvenieRt to ap-
preaching motorists, but positively
dangerous, and which has caused so
many accidents. has been the subject
OF deep study for more than a year by
a committee Of members Of the Soci-
ETY. OF Automobile Engineers. At the
conclusion OF its Investigations the
committee made recommendations for
a standard headlight which would
throw concentrated beam Of light
for a distance Of 200 feet and yet with
its highest point not more than forty.
two inches from the ground
''The solution is to set the lamp so
that the upper edge Of this beam.
which, If the lamp is a good one, is
cleary defined, will be parallel to the
ground. When the lamp is set square
the center line OF the beam is parallel
TO the ground, but the distance be-
tween the edges OF the beam grows
greater as the distance from the lamp
grows greater.
'lt is, however. easy to understand
that IL the upper edge Of the shaft Of
light is parallel to the ground the light
will extend for as great a distance as
the lamp Is capable OF throwing it, but
will be sufficiently low so that 1t will
not strike the eyes Of a person ap-
preaching, whether afoot or In a We
hicle"

PROSECUTING THE
PRESIDENT.

Little attention was paid to the
ladies" who formed a "silent
picket" around the White House
last week. The incident was
treated rather humorously. The
announcement that another pick
ct is to be established by men to
force the President to support a
pension measure is more serious.
This method of forcing execu-
tive action will not appeal to the
common sense of our people. 1t
is too much like brow-beatine
the President. The Chief Execu-
tive OF the nation has many cares
and he should be guarded from
personal annoyance. If any set
of propagandists may picket the
White House the result would be
indecent. The official home of
the President might be surround
ed day and night by all sorts and
conditions OF men and women
clamoring for their particular
hobbies. Whether they desired
something wise or something fool
ish their method would be an
abuse of the right of petition.
Every one appreciates the close
relations that should exist be-
tween the President and the peo-
pie. The right OF hearing should
be given every man or set of men
who has an honest grievance. At
the same time it should be borne
in mind that the President must
not be made the object of per-
sonal persecution.

THE MILITANT BISHOP OF
LIMERICK.

DR.. O'Dwyer, the famous Bish-
op of Limerick, is now IS years
of age. He is Tipperary man,
born at Holy Cross, which was
also the native place of the late
Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia,
who erected simple freestone
Celtic Cross over his fathers re-
mains in the old Abbey. DR.
O'Dwyer was the only son of the
late John Heating O'Dwyer. He
was educated at Maynooth, and
was ordained in 1867. While a
curate at St. Michael's, Limerick,
in 1886, he was appointed Bishop
of Limerick. AS a keen publicist
with trenchant style; as con-
troversialist on education ques-
tons, and as a writer of letters
not always pastoral, the Bishop
holds an authority by no means
confined to his own countrymen

Should just give them a little
thrashing now and then to let
them know they must behave
themselves" He said there had
been too much ''monkeying" with
Mexico.
The principal value attaching to
the Senator's opinion is that it
may foreshadow new Mexican
policy. There are indications
that the administration is grow
ing weary of the task of recogniz-
ing the Carranza government as
having "the moral and material
capacity for administering gov
eminent" 1t may be that it is
willing to give Mexico "a thrash
ing now and then" without de-
claring war. 1t is a forbidding
prospect, but it will be worth
while if it makes Carranza rea-
lie that the United States no
longer approves of its continuous
sacrilegious brutality.

CATHOLIC MEN MUST BE
UP AND DOING.

Representative Michael K.
Reilly of Wisconsin, speaking at
the annual smoker of the HOLY
Name Society of Holy Trinity
Church, Washington, last week,
said:
"The church never faced a more
trying position than it does now
in the vast army of Christian an
tagonists who are abroad in the
land spreading their dog1nas of
non-belief in the divinity of Christ
and everything Christian. The
Catholic man must be up and do
ing, fortifying himself by educa-
ton in order to be ready to fight
intellectually for the faith that's
in him. 1t will devolve on the
Catholic man to overthrow the
tide of socialism and other sects
of anti-Christ, and education
must be the weapon that will
bring our beautiful country back
to its first principles-'In God We
Trust"

BILL FOR MEMORIAL TO
NUNS OF THE BATTLE
FIELD DOUBTFUL.

It's beginning to look doubtful
as to whether the bill, granting
a site in Arlington National Gem
etery, on which to erect the Me-
mortal to the Nuns of the Battle
field, by the Ladies' Auxiliary to
the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
will be reported out of the Ii
brary Committee of the House of
Representatives at this session of
Congress.
If the resolution is reported out
favorably by this Committee, it
will undoubtedly pass the House,
and those who have given their
time and labor in the interest of
this Memorial earnestly ask the
Catholics throughout the coun-
try to urge the members of this
Committee to get together and
favorably report the bill out of
the Committee. 1t has already
passed the Senate, and unless it
goes through the House all the
work will have to be repeated at
the next session.

GETTING AN EDUCATION.

When DR.. James Lukens Nc
Conaughy told the young men
and women OF the Evanston High
school that 'most boys and girls
haven't brains enough to war
rant going to college," he blasted
the hopes of many. He also add
ed that many OF them would be
better off earning five dollars a
week" than attending college.
The doctors righteousness is
not a worthy argument for or
against a college education. No
one will consider it seriously and
we doubt that the doctor intend
ed it seriously. 1t may serve to
remind us that colleges do not
manufacture brains. Their mis-
sion in life is to develop them.
The failure of a college education
lies in the fact that too many
young men go to college for an
education with the same frame of
mind that they go to their tailor
for a suit of clothes. To get an
education in college requires
more than paying tuition and sit
ting in a lecture hall for a pre-
scribed number of hours. You
cannot get an education by
breathing college atmosphere. To
absorb, the brain must be put
through an absorbing process
OF course, there must be brains
to do the absorbing.
There are defects in our Amer
lean colleges. TO these defects
must be attributed many failures
of college men. The majority OF
failures must not be laid at the
door of the college. Too many
boys go to college to learn foot
ball too few to get all education.
1t may be that i'll many OF our
educational institutions the for
mer is too much accumulated.

II AM THE WAY, THE LIFE
AND THE TRUTH."'

Three men set forth in search
of Truth. The first said: II will
go to seek it in the wisdom of
others. There, if anywhere, is it
to be found" So he ensconced
himself in the alcoves of great
library and began to pore over
the tones OF all the sages in all
centuries. Years and years he
delved thus. One day, an old
man, he abruptly closed the vol
umes spread about him. "They
all contradict each other" said
he. There is no such thing as
TRUTH"
The second man had said: at
is not i'll books but in the lives OF
my fellow men that I shall find
Truth" So he went forth for the
quest, through all the marts and
byways OF mankind. In a few
years he returned wearing the
cynic's sheer.
The third man had hesitated.
Said he: Before l go to seek
Truth, fancy it will be we'll that
| should try to practice it my
self" And in that endeavor he
became so absorbed that he post
poned his great quest, year after
year, all his life long. AS he lay
upon his deathbed he sighed deep
ly, 81 vowed to seek for TRUTH y
he murmured, ''and I have brok-
ell my vow.'
And then, even as he raised his
eyes, there stood before him a
shining apparition, OF great beau-
ty. 81 am TRUTH" said the fig
ure, and smiled down upon him.
And, as the man gazed in silent
amazement, the voice continued:
Truly, you had no need to look
for me, for you found me and l
have been at your side ever since
that day long ago when you chose
to do rather than to seek."-Col-
lier's Weekly.

PROHIBITION SCORES
AGAIN,

Prohibition took step forward
last week in both branches of
Congress. In the Senate drastic
amendments to the postal appro-
priation bill were agreed to, which
would make criminal the impor-
tation of liquor into states which
prohibit its manufacture and sale
for beverage purposes, and which
would exclude liquor advertise
ments from the mails in states
which legislate against such ad-
vertising. On the House side the
national prohibition constitution
al amendment was favorably re-
ported from the judiciary COM
mittee, with the prediction by
Chairman Webb that it would be
passed within a very short time.

CHURCH GROWS IN
SCOTLAND.

Slowly but surely Catholicity is
progressing in Scotland. Its
numbers are being increased, not
only by the influx of Irish and
Polish exiles, but also by the
stream of converts from the other
religious denominations, which
yearly increases in volume. This
increase is particularly marked in
the Glasgow archdiocese, where
the necessity has arisen to found
a number of new parishes, in Or
der to provide proper accommo-
dation for the religious needs of
the growing community.
Two of these new parishes have
already been mapped out in the
mining districts of Lanarkshire,
at Tarbrax and Mossend. AL
ready ground has been secured at
Tarbrax, and the erection of the
necessary church and school
building will shortly commence.
The new church for Mossend will
probably be located in the Holy
town neighborhood.
The growth of Catholicity is at
tracing attention in non-Catholic
circles, and Presbyterian minis
ter recently treated the congrega-
ton of one of the Glasgow
churches to sermon on "The
Evolution of the Irish Navy"
In the course of his remarks he
said that the Irish navvies were
making remarkable progress in
numbers and power in Scotland.
1t is undoubtedly true that the
revived Church in Scotland has
been solidly founded by the Irish
NAVY, but the Irish navvy's sons
possessed OF the vigorous menta
and physical constitution of the
Celt are steadily climbing upward
in the social scale, notwithstand.
ing the formidable difficulties by
which they are confronted. To.
day the sons Of those Irish nav.
vies can successfully compete ii

world of intellect with the more
favorable circumstanced sons Of
Scotland.

MISGUIDED PATRIOTISM.

A big New York trust company
gave an indefinite leave of alb
sence to a number of its employees
because they were Germans.
Their pay is continued. Such
conduct is not only unjusti6able,
but is a bad example to others
who may discharge their German
employees wi bout continuing
their pay.
There is no cheaper form of
patriotism than to deprive a man
of his bread and butter simply
because he belongs to nation
with which we are on unfriendly
terms. To discharge an employee
solely for the crime of being Ger
man is an act of uncivilized STU
pidity and cruelty. Every decent
citizen should be ashamed of it.
Observing the war from dis
lance we have learned how hatred
has debased humanity. We have
seen men of wisdom and culture
throw reason to the winds and
become like savages.
With such an example in front
of us we should strain every nerve
to prove that we can be cour-
ageous abroad without being
DULLES at home. To prosecute
helpless and harmless men is a
shabby way to uphold our ma
tional honor.
