SUBJECT OF ESSAY
PRIZE ESSAY EULoGIzEs ARCH
BISHOP IRELAND.

William Onahan Gallery has just
won the four-year scholarship at st.
Ignatius College, Chicago, in the 1918
competition. There were SOS contest
ants for this honor, and he was one CT
the three successful competitors.
Master Gallery is named after his
grandfather, Col VIM. ]. Onahan of
Chicago. His essay was a eulogy7 OF
the colcnel's great friend, Archbishop
Ireland, of whom he said:
One of the most marked character
istics of Archbishop ireland is his
Americanism. He is always an adV,-
cate OF good government and good
politics, asking for reform when one
is needed to suit the time and trying
to defeat any scheme that would in
any way harm the Government. u.
Another dangerous scheme orig
mated by a German statesman was
Cahenslyism. BY this scheme the
German Catholics Of America would
have German Bishop, the Irish pee
pie would have an Irish Bishop, etc.
1t is now realized that this was prob
ably part of the plan of Germany
to keep alive the German spirit, no
matter where it's citizens went. This
scheme had gained much in popular
ity and the Archbishop was Obliged
to pay visit to Rome in order to de-
feat it. His object il opposing the
Cahensylism was to- prevent the peo-
pies of different Hationalties from
keeping alive their old world ideas
and prejudices. He knew that the
sooner they became real Americans
the better for them and for the coun-
try.
The esteem in which he is held by
the whole country is shown by his
election as chaplain of the Grand
Army of the Republic. This is a body
largely composed of non-Catholics, but
his great popularity among the Civil
war veterans won him the election
over several prominent Protestant
churchmen. He has always been
famed as pulpit orator. He received
from the French Government the
medal of the Legion of Honor for his
services to France and the Catholic
Church in France.
One of the notable undertakings of
his later years has been the building
in St. Paul of one of the finest Ca
thedrals in America. Long spoken Of
as about to be made a Cardinal the
honor would certainly be a joy to the
whole American nation, although no
Il i - I'D, -
worth of the man. The work that he
has accomplished in any one Of his
| many fields of endeavor would be the
work of an ordinary lifetime. When
we view his success in the field of
temperance, in the colonization of the
vest, in helping the material welfare
Of the Irish Catholics and as an Amer.
| lean statesman, we must admit that he
Is one of the greatest men Of his time

At this time the primary work is
that of organisation. Let no pastor
hold aloof or let the work go by de-
fault. Outside the aforesaid cities he
is invested with the right of appoint
ing a local member. This right he
should exercise with judgment and
exercise at once. Let all pastors ev-
erywhere proceed to enroll as many
workers as are available in his Parish.
These workers will be under the direc-
ton of the local committee. There
is no Catholic drive as such. Let him
furthermore exhort his people to con-
tribute to the general fund. When
throughout the country the fund of
$170,500,000 is raised $30,000,000 of
this fund will be apportioned to the
Catholic War Council. Surely all will
be glad to show those who are now
enduring all kinds of hardship and
risking limb and life for us that we
at home are mindful of their heroic
deeds and are anxious to alleviate
their condition. The work heretofore
done by the Knights of Columbus de-
serves the greatest praise. 1t has
been of incalculable good This work
under the direction of the Catholic
War Council this year will be in
creased tenfold AS Catholics will
have such large share in the distri-
button of this recreational and well
fare fund they should have a CORE
spondingly large share in collecting
it and in contributing to it.
/ take this occasion to recommend
very strongly that both priest and
people give cordial welcome to the
Fourth Liberty Loan. To make it sue
cessfulilet them use all their energies
and call on all their resources.
! pray God to bless both priests and
people.

WHOSE BOOTS Do YOU BLAcK7
BY HARRISON RHODES
of the ViqiIantes.

The bootblack is one of our greatest
national institutions. In Europe he Is
both rare and incompetent upon the
public streets. Here, to sit in a COM
fortably padded chair on a sunny cor
ner and watch the world go by while
a strong and willing toiler polishes
your foot coverings till they reflect
your handsome face In them is one OF
the American experiences which makes
the average citizen feel. temporarily at
least, like a god, at ease with the
world and superior to it.
But what about it now? Just how
are these strong and willing toilers,
the bootblacks, helping to win the war
against Germany? Isn't their job I'M
necessary? Wouldn't they, fighting in
the front line, or working in the fac
tories or toiling in the wheat fields, be
helping America more than by polish
ing your shoes and mine?
Couldn't we, in fact, polish our own?
People used to. There were things
covered over with a square of gaudily
colored Brussels carpet, which were
called boot backing boxes, usually
in every home. And pater familias
and the boys at least shined their own
shoes. When they went on trips there
was a compact travelling kit which they
put into their bag. Perhaps the boots
weren't done quite so well, perhaps
they didn't reflect your handsome face
But which, to put it briefly, is more
important, to have your boots polished
for you or to whip the Germans?
Does this sound ludicrously trivial
to you? 1t is true that all the boot
blacks in the country released for the
real services of war time would be
but little part of our military or ci-
william army. But it cannot be said
too often that nothing is too trivial
nowadays to be worth paying atten-
ton to.
Think it over! Would you rather
polish your own boots, or lick the
Kaiser's when he gets here?

Since calico has become fashionable
millinerS have launched a few late
summer hats. made of various cotton
materials and labeled calico hats"
that reflect this wartime fad. If we
are destined to have to come to calico
in our millinery it is a consolation to
know that it can be made into such
pretty headwear as that shown at the
bottom of the picture above. We must
be economieal-it is the proper war
time pose, and therefore Miss Fifth
Avenue promenades in calico frock,
although she may be discovered 70
have it trimmed with a little real and
costly lace. This is inconsistent but
the pose is pretty anyway and the ex-
ample set worth while.
The hat at the lower right is a
genuine calico affair-the calico the
old, familiar indigo blue with white
polka dot. The brim covering is cut
in a square and edged with rick-rack
braid. The four corners Of the square
are turned up over the upper brim
and tackled against the crown. A blue
and white silk cord is tied about the
crown and terminates at the front in
a bow and ends. Little silk tassels
finish the ends. The hat at the left
is made of fine printed cotton crepe
in light pink and white. Instead of
points there are square tabs turned
back over the brim. This brim Gov
ering is edged with narrow white silk
fringe and white silk cord and tas-
sells provide the trimming. The cord
is tied in a bow at the front and
back.
Plaid ginghams have made some of
the prettiest hats classed in the calico
group. They are trimmed with scarfs
