The leaflet, "Hunting Insects in
Winter" put out by the Vermont de-
partment of agriculture and prepared
by Harold L. Bailey of Bradford, who
has charge Of insect suppression work
in the state, is an interesting, instruc-
tive and valuable leaflet. He calls
attention to the fact that fastened to
the twigs and bark of our trees in
winter are egg masses, cocoons and
cases of many kinds of insects which
reduce production and cause much
damage in the summer. Lessening
this drain is a patriotic service in
which all may partake but is a work
particularly adapted to children I'M
der direction of teachers or leaders,
in searching for and destroying these
sources of breeding. Contests by
oranges, Boy Scouts, schools, ETC.,
would be advisable and copies of these
leaflets illustrate what to look for and
how to look for them. Mr.. Bailey
we'll says: "In this way the state and
government would be greatly assisted
in their efforts to prevent the spread
of these insects (tent caterpillar, gyp-
sy and brown-tail moth, etc. Also
the collector will have the joy of an
out door sport nearly approaching the
thrill of hunting larger game, and
better still, their eyes would become
trained in seeing things in nature that
they never knew before" Mr.. Bail
ely suggests seven kinds Of insects to
look for and describes in text and
just what they are.

What can be done in the way of
saving IS well illustrated in the report
from Waterbury that the state hos
pitaI there is saving ten barrels Of
-four per week by the $3.50 plan.
There are many Vermont communi-
ties with about the population Of the
state institution Of which we are
speaking. If ten communities with
an average population of some $50
people can save 100 barrels of flour
per weeb-and this could easily be
done IN Orleans county-what would
it mean the nation over. The illus
tration only emphasizes the
necessity Of every individual feeling
that his part is to save his bit. Too
many people remark, "Well, what
eat Won't make any difference" Or,
"What can save won't help any" It
VIII help. And you may as well get
used to it. This saving will become
absolutely compulsory later on.

Evidences are accommodating that
the habit of saving among the Amer
lean people, especially among the pa
irons Of savings banks and the postal
savings, is far outstrirping the finan-
cial demands made upon them by the
government. While no exact figures
are available at present, it is known
that postal savings deposits have
steadily gained during the year, 1917,
and notably since the 1st of July of
that year, which was after the first
issue Of the Liberty loan. The reports
from savings banks also show
steady gain, and the same is true of

WHY PARocHIAL SCHOOLS?

Non-Catholics are often at loss to
understand why the Catholic Church
in this country maintains separate
public schools at the expense of mil
lions of dollars, when the state sup
ported public schools open their doors
to all. Some Catholics there are who
could not enlighten such questioners
adequately; and there are even some
Catholic parents who are so short
sighted as to send their children to
public schools, ignorant of the moral
handicap which they are giving their
children by not sending them to a
parochial school. The following from
an address delivered by Rev. D. /.
McDermott of Philadelphia on the oc
casion of the dedication of parochial
school states succinctly the reasons
why Catholics build parochial schools
and send their children to them:
Why does the Church establish
Catholic parochial schools when the
state has abundantly provided for the
secular education of Catholic chill
dren as we'll as the children of other
denominations?
Why does the Church deprive her
children of the boosted advantages
which the unlimited resources of the

missionary Record.
ORIGIN OF GLOVE is YELLED IN
ANTIQUITY.

To discover the origin of the glove
one must go far back into eastern his
tory. In the far-off days when Ruth
cleaned in the fields of Boaz, the term
shoes" was used for the hand cover
ing. This title is still preserved in
the German language.
There is good authority for saying
that the sshoe" mentioned in the
fourth chapter of Ruth was a glove,
for among eastern nations no traffic
was complete until the glove had been
transferred from seller to buyer.
'Over Edom will l cast my shoe,"
has also been quoted in support of
this theory.
The Persians wore gloves, but they
were more properly hand Shoes be-
ing without fingers. Our word is de-
rived from the Anglo-Saxons glof, a
hand covering, which is a testimony
to their antiquity. AS late as the tenth
century the manufacture of gloves was
confined to the Germans
In the Anglo-Saxon times English
women used to thrust their hands into
the ends of their nantes, which were
conveniently shaped for that purpose;
but when the Heptarchy was dissolved
the German glove or 'hand shoe
came into fashion, and with the Nor.
mans came the warlike gauntlet.
The Normans wore gloves of iron
which could not have been very com
Portable, and they also wore silken
gloves, which they sometimes per.
fumed with poison and presented to
their enemies when they wished to rid
themselves of an adversary.
Jeweled gloves were worn in the
fourteenth century as insignia of rank
and the clergy would change them
according to the color of their vest
ments.

preservation as any of their fellow
citizens ought to convince even their
enemies that there is nothing disloyal
in the Church's efforts to promote
Christian education.
The fact that Catholics contribute
to the support of both public and pa
rochial schools ought to be evidence
both of the sincerity of their convic-
lions on the educational problem and
of their love of learning. The convic-
ton that man pays to maintain is as
sincere as that for which he is willing
to burn or die.
The fact that vast numbers of learn
ed, religious and patriotic Americans,
who have no sympathy with the Catho-
lie Church, express dissatisfaction with
the public schools, point to their de-
fects and failures, ought to convince
Americans of the correctness of the
position of Catholics on the school
question.
The fact that England and Germany,
that Canada and Belgium have denom-
national schools, that these Protestant
countries support Protestant schools
out of the school fund, ought to prove
conclusively that parochial schools are
not the outgroWth of disloyalty, but
the outgrowth of the governments
due regard to religious differences
conscientiously entertained, ought to
prove that a parochial school, where
all the children are of the same faith,
is the only one in which secular and
religious training can at the same time
be impaired without sectarianism, the
only one in which liberty of con-
science and freedom of worship can be
guaranteed.
In the face of these undeniable facts,
which ought to prove their suspicious
unfounded, why do so many Americans
persist in charging there is sinister
purpose in the Church's efforts to pro-
mote Christian education, and persist
in suspecting Catholics of disaffection
or disloyalty?

FOR THE BOYS OVER HERE AND
OVER THERE.

AS the fighting continues, and with
the drafting of all eligible men into the
service of the United States, the need
of Mass outfits for army and navy
chaplains becomes more and more i'm
perative, if we take into consideration
the spiritual welfare of theTboys who
are fighting for us.
The Catholic Church Extension So
ciety is in position to furnish a splen-
did outfit, complete in every detail and
containing all the requisites for the
celebration of Holy Mass. This outfit
is small, being just little larger than
the average child's school case; light
in weight, and may be carried conve-
niently by means of a shoulder strap,
easily detached if the chaplain desires
to carry the case as he would an or
binary suit case. This outfit is being
furnished to army and navy chaplains
for $100, and practically every chap
lain who has already received one of
these kits agrees that he has seen
nothing that can equal it.
There is many a chaplain in the army
and navy who is still without one of
these compact outfits. For the sake of
the boys who will derive the most good
from them, will you not send your do
nation for the purchase of one of these
chaplain Mass kits? If you are not in
a position to give 500, do not deprive
yourself of the pleasure of helping to
buy one for an army or navy chaplain.
Any donation toward the purchase
of chaplain Mass outfits will be most
acceptable to the Catholic Church Ex-
tension Society, whose offices are 10.

"UNCLE SAM"

|. The popular term, "Uncle SAM" as
applied to the United States govern
ment, originated in Troy and Green
bush, N. Y, during the war of 1924.
Ebert Anderson, Jr., one of the con-
tractors supplying the army of the
North with provisions, in October,
1912, advertised for proposals for pork
and beef to be delivered to him during
the first four months of the following
year in New York, Troy, Albany and
Waterford. Among those who con-
tracted to furnish him with beef pack
ed in barrels, were Ebenezer and Sam
uel Wilson, the latter Familiarity called
by Trojans "Uncle Sam" AS the beef
was delivered at Greenbush barracks
from time to time the Troy soldiers
referred to it as Uncle Sans" beef.
The other soldiers, not knowing who
"Uncle Sam was, thought that the
term was applied to the letters U. S.
stamped upon the barrels by the gov
eminent officials. Consequently it was
not long before the term Uncle Sam"
meaning the United States, was in
common use.

JAPANESE AND MALAYS.

The Japanese hat resembles much
the Malayan. So also does the Jap
anese umbrella. The ancient Japan
csc helmet was adorned with horns
of animals Similar helmets exist in
the Malayan archipelago. The old
fashioned weapons of the japanese
police, used in particular for catching
thieves, are still used by Malayan
policemen The custom of catching
fish at night by torchlight prevails
both in Japan and in the Malayan
archipelago. An ordeal with boiling
water, a special sort of football game,
the popularity of cock fights and the
custom of keeping singing insects in
little cages are found both among the
Japanese and Malays. All this, as
serts a writer, speaks in favor of the
descent of the Japanese from the Ma
lays.
