LEaTER SEASON BEGINS p
ASH WEDNESDAY, FEB 20
Catholic and Episcopal Churches
Will Observe Occasion.

Ash Wednesday is a week from
next Wednesday, Feb. %, and is the
beginning of the Lenten season. The
day Will be observed with special
services at the Catholic and Episco-
pal churches. Ashes are blessed and
in the sign of cross marked on the
forehead of the members, priests re-
minding the faithful, "Remember
that thou are dust and unto dust thou
shall return"
Christianity at an early date adopt
ed the use of ashes as symbol OF
penance and it Is accepted that the
ritual was borrowed from the prac-
tIce Of the Jews.
Tertullian prescribes that the pen
itent must "live without Joy in the
roughness of sack cloth and the squal-
or of ashes.' The normal peniteni-
tential garb was sack-cloth sprinkled
over with ashes and when not sem
fenced to do public penance the
sprinkling of the head with ashes al
ways played an important part In the
observance. This rite is retained to
this day in the Roman observance at
which the pope presides.
A number of passages in the old
testament connect ashes with mourn
ing. In Homer's Iliad, too, a mani
festation of grief among the Aryan
people is spoken of. Then the
cleansing properties of ashes have
been proposed as being significant OF
moral publication.
The chief foundation for this sug-
oestion is the Rite of the Red Heif-
or in which the ashes of the victim
when mixed with water had the GER
emonial efficacy of purifying the I'M
clean.
The ashes distributed on Ash
Wednesday are obtained from the
pa ms blessed at the Easter season
the year before.-Ch attain cog a

Added Evidence OF
American Prosperity

Every day brings evidence that
the American public are willing
to pay for the things the people
really want.
For many months newspaper
and magazine publishers have
been hard pressed, because OF
the tremendous increase in the
price of white paper. In many
cities one cent newspapers have
raised their price to two cents
without any appreciable falling
Oft of circulation, but the most
striking example of the public
willingness to pay an increased
price fora better product occurred
last month, when the publishers
Of Cosmopolitan, Americas Great
est Magazine, determined that,
instead of cutting the quality OF
the magazine, they would print
an even better magazine and in
crease the price.
Over a million people have been
buying Cosmopolitan for many
years at 15c>a copy, and, with the
greatly improved February issue
more people paid zoe for Cosmo-
! politan than had ever in it's his
! tory purchased the magazine at
15c.
How such a magazine can be
produced, sold for zoe and pay a
profit to the producers is mod
ern industrial problem, especial
Ily when the editor has among his
writer's Gouverneur Morris, Robt.
w. Chambers, John Galsworthy,
Jack London, Edith Wharton,
Owen Johnson, Elizabeth Robins,
Amelie Rives and Elinor Glyn,
The magazine is profusely illus
trated by the greatest of modern
artists. and it's tremendous sale
is only an added proof of the
American public's thorough ap
probation of quality product a
any price.

"SUBS" SUNK
Attacked a Merchant Fleet
Which Was Defended
by Warships
TWO MERCHANT SHIPS
WERE SACRIFICED
Meagre Report of Encoun-
ter Received by Navy
Department

Washington, d. c., Sept. ll.--Six hos
tile submarines are believed to have beer
destroyed off the coast of France on Sept
5 when they attacked fleet of merchant
ships, of which the American steamer
Westwego was one. Two of the mer.
chantships were lost. A report from
Paris to this effect reached the navy de.
partment to-day.
The departments statement says
"The navy department has received a re-
port from Paris which states that the
steamer Westwego reports on Sept.
that while cruising with several other
ships she was attacked by massed force
of six submarines off the coast of France
on Sept 5, the result of the attack being
that two steamers were sunk and prob
ably all of the submarines were lost"
The vessels were presumably under
convoy of American destroyers, and it is
believed that the warships were respon-
sible for the sinking of the submarines
The details of the fight have not been
received, nor were the names of the ves
sells sunk mentioned in the dispatches.
1t is not even known whether they were
American ships. The department has
cabed for additional information.
While the navy department announce
ment did not specifically state that Amer
lean destroyers were conveying the ships,
it was announced recently that a policy
of conveying fleets of merchantships
across the Atlantic had been adopted and
since the Westwego and the other mer-
chant craft which were the objects of
the submarine attack were bound for Eu-
rope it is regarded as more than probable
that American warships guarded them
The American warships have all been
equipped with depth bombs for fighting
This weapon has been per-
'ected by American ordnance experts and
proved very deadly If the detailed re-
,orts bear out the first dispatch they will |
iignalize the most notable action against |
he submarines since the war began as
veil as striking victory for the Amer
can naval forces.
