SALMON EGGS FROM ALASKA
 ARE COLLECTED
Bureau of Fisheries An. - nounces That Eggs from Sockeye Made a Suc-
 CeSSful Season.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. - The Bureau of Fisheries, Department of Commerce, announces that a very successful collection of sOckeye sal mon eggs was made at the close of the spawning season in Alaska for the Afognak station, the total amounting to 54,6S1, ,000, which constitutes the largest take of that species since the Katmai eruption in 1912, and seems to indicate the
 complete recovery of the stream from
 the disastrous effects of that occur
 renee. In view of the encouraging
 situation commercial fishing for
 sockeyes by the natives, which has
 been prohibited for a number of
 years, was resumed on a limited
 scale during the summer. Hump
 back eggs to the number of S,697,-
 900 were also secured, and in con
 tinuation of the Bureaus efforts to
 establish a run of this species in
 Puget Sound during the off year,
 5,750,0 ,000 of them were sent down
 from Afognak and divided between
 the Birdsview and the Hoods Canal Washington hatcheries With them
 came 25,800,000 sockeye eggs, of
 which 20,7O0,0O0 were reshipped from Seattle to Canadian hatcher ies on the Fraser River. The re-
 mainder will be developed at the Quinalt station, in an effort to build up the depleted run of fish in streams of that region.
 Though not unusually large, the take of eggs at Yes Bay was satis- factory, the total for the season com prising 48,665, 900 sockeye and l. 365, 900 humpbacks. Most of the eggs of the latter species, will be shipped to the Maine stations, in continuation of the effort to .estab- fish the humpback in Atlantic wa terS.

Kid McCoy's venomous tongue still is flashing Willie Meehan who quit the ex-middleweight stars theatri- cal tour a week after 1t started. The nimble Hoosier has accused Willie of almost anything since the split happened which has given the Pa cific Coast newspapers the chance to poke a lot of fun at the rotund sailor. "Meehan would have been a valuable man to have around train ing quarters in the old days" says Mccoy, "in that the presence of Willie would have saved the price spent for sandbags. It is the Kid opinion also that Willie would not be able to think if he were to get his hair cut.

Eastern hockey magnates have fallen right into line with the sug' gestions made by the Coasters in the past, inasmuch as they have adopted the no-offside center ice rule, which they ridiculed in Toronto last spring, and they are now to have a more sensible penalty sys tenn. The Pacific Coast Leaguers started in the business in 1912, but in the few intervening years they brought in more need legislation than has ever been uncovered ir years of Eastern hockey. It is grat flying to note that at last the East erners are ready to get down to bus mess and improve their game.

THE MEDIAEVAL CHURCH.

President Wilson in his book ''The
New Freedom" says:
The only reason why government
did not suffer dry rot in the Middle
Ages under the aristocratic system
which then prevailed was That SO
many of the men who were efficient
instruments of government were
drawn from the Church; from that
great religious body which was then
the only Church, that body which is
now distinguished from other relig
ious bodies as the Roman Catholic
Church.
The Roman Catholic Church was
then, as it is now, a. great democracy
There was no peasant so humble that
he might not become priest, nc
priest so obscure that he might not
become the Pope of Christendom, and
every chancellory in 4 Europe, every
court in Europe, was ruled by these
learned, trained and accomplished
men, the priesthood of that great and
dominant body. -+fs
What kept government alive during
the Middle Ages was this constant
rise of sap from the bottom, from the
rank and file of the great body of the
people through the free channels OF
the priesthood.

OUR LADY'S PAINTER.

Not only all the religious painters

Ribera, Pedro de Moya, Claudio Coel-
10, Palomino, and Velasquez, each has
rendered his artistic tribute to the

ture of Mary is indissolubly inter
woven with his name. In his concep-

transcribe, he found his way direct to
the heart of the Andalusian people.

GOD THE CAUSE OF ALL.

Says Pussy in his Collegiate and
Professional Teaching and Discipline:
God is the cause and upholder Of
everything to which He has given
being. Every faculty of mind is some
reflection of His; every truth has its
being from Him; every law of nature
has the impress of His hand: every
thing beautiful has caught its light
from His eternal Beauty; every prin-
ciple of goodness has its foundation
in His attributes.
History without God is a chaos
without design or end or aim; politi-
cal economy without God would be
selfish teaching for the acquisition Of
wealth; physics without God would
be a dull inquiry into certain mean.
ingless phenomena; ethics without
God would be varying rule without
principle or substance or center or
regulating hand; metaphysics without
God, would make man his temporary
God, to be resolved after his brief
hour here into the nothingness out of
which he proceeded. ta4.l

SUPPORT OF THE CHURCH.

Everything has advanced in price,
except religion; the salary of every
person, except that of your pastor,
has been raised during the past two
years. There is no war tax on your
seat in church, as there is on your
seat in the theater.
When your pastor asks you to con.
tribute dime instead of nickel in
the Sunday collection, it probably does
not occur to you, as it does to him,
how much the church treasury would
be swelled in years time, II several
hundred acted on his request fifty.
two times a year.
Do not wait until the end of the year
before paying your church dues. What
you give to the support of religion Is
given to God, in Whose Name and to
honor Whom the parish church exists.
Since all the blessings you enjoy are
received from God, His interests
should have your very first consider
alton every year.

A FEW MOMENTS WITH GOD.


Catholic churches are, open all the
year, and our Blessed Lord is ever
present in the tabernacle waiting for
u.s. How easy it is for anybody to
step in a moment, and in less time,
than one wastes talking to friend,
ask God for help, for strength and for
mercy. Think of those less fortunate
than you, who live in some remote
part of the world, where, perhaps,
they never see either church or priest.
Remember today you are here and to-
morrow may never come for you.
Many a soul owes it's salvation to
making frequent visits to Gods house,
and there, PROSTATE at the altar, ask
ing Gods forgiveness. You would be
surprised to see the people in the
different stations of life who daily
visit Our Lord in the Blessed Sacra-
ment of the Altar. Try it, and before
the year comes to it's close you will
find the benefit of it.
Regarding attendance at church it
is a marvel to non-Catholics every

of the Catholic churches on Sundays
and holy days, at what seems to them
unearthly hours in the morning. Rain
or shine, summer or winter, it is the
same.
Why do they come? What brings
them? 1t is not the priest, the ser,
mon, the music, the ceremonies, the
lights or the flowers. It is the sacrl.
fee of the Mass. 1t is the willing
obedience that Catholics render the
precept of the Church obliging them
to hear Mass on Sundays and holy
days of obligation. At all events they
are found every Sunday in their
churches. The Mass is the magnet
that draws them. They come to wor
ship God, not to be entertained

THE FIRST OF BOOKS.

Under the guidance of the Church
the reading of the Bible must be OF
incalculable advantage. says Rev.
Peter Finley, S. ]. For the Bible con-
tains in brief and permanent form
almost the whole revelation of God
to men. 1t is His own account of
what He is, in Himself, and in relation
to mankind. 1t tells us all we need
to know of His will for us; of our
duties, privileges, destiny.
1t is our one authentic Life of
Christ We live with Him. He speaks
to us in the Gospels. We may take
almost everything in the Epistles as
written by the Apostles to ourselves.
1t is for us Catholics, as it should
be for the whole world, the first of
books; before all Lives of the Saints
and ascetical treatises and works on
theology. Read reyerently and simply,
it is very precious help to a knowl-
edge of divine things; and the
Church encourages and urges all the
faithful to read it.

M EDALS.

Of course it is perfectly legitimate
for Mason to wear the Masonic en-
blem on the lapel of his coat; it is
most natural for husband to keep in
his watch small picture of his wife,,
we all admire child who carries a
locket containing a photo of his moth
er; any man of sense appreciates the
patriotic sentiments of the American
who wears a buttonhole flag of his
country. All these practices are good
and sensible and commendable. We
look upon them as natural result
of loyalty, filial affection and patriot
ism. But when we transfer this same
some profess to believe that it changes
the whole question. If an American
wears a little button with the picture
of George Washington, why should it
be deemed wrong for a Catholic to
carry a medal of saint-a hero of
his holy religion? If a girl is praised
for carrying on her person a picture
of her own mother, why should Cath
olics be condemned for wearing an
image of Gods mother? We do not
adore these images and pictures; we
do not pray to these images. We
honor these things as representations
of the heroes of our faith; we wear
them as reminders of the sanctity they
practiced and which we should initiate.
We pray before them to obtain the
int erceSSiOn Of the saints hefOre the
throne of God.

"All my life,' she writes, 81 had ex.
perienced an inexplicable longing for
something which seemed never able
to crafty. 1t was not success, it was
not love, it was not money, for I had
all OF these, yet | kept right on
searching for this missing link in my
life. How little l dreamed of the
truth-that it was faith"
She never received any religious ed
ucation. After she entered the theat
rical profession she never gave a
thought to churches or religion. "Sa
cred things and images" she says
always gave me the shivers and
made me recoil."
One day when she was .convalescing
from an illness a. friend who was a
good Catholic suggested that she ac-
company him to Mass. She did so.
That visit to the church accomplished
her conversion. 1t was one of those
means that God uses to bring His
grace to soul. But again one must
ask, would the faith have come IL
that Catholic friend had not suggested
going to Mass?
The incident gives food for thought.
How unlikely it seemed that she
would ever become Catholic. Yet
are there not many who might repeat
this experience IL their Catholic
friends were charitable enough to
point out the way?
The Catholic should ever have the
zeal of an apostle. He should consider
himself his brothers keeper; he should
ever be ready to take advantage of
the opportunity to lead other souls
into the light. Sometimes mere hint
is sufficient. What JOY one should
feel in the knowledge that he has
been the humble instrument in the
conversion of even one soul!

RESULT OF WINE sUPPERs AND
JOY RIDES.

One evening an automobile stopped
at the Home Of the Good Shepherd,
in certain city. Two men stepped
out and were followed by an eldery
woman, who was weeping bitterly.
Presently young girl appeared. Her
voice was raised in angry protest, and
broke into shrieks as her companions
seized her arms and hurried her
through the gate. The heavy door
swung to, and the incident was closed
for the few passers-by who had halted
to look on the narrowing scene.
A few years ago the girl had be-
gun her business life in downtown
office. She was rather pretty, vain,
not we'll balanced, possibly, and ig-
norant of the harm lurking in GER
tain practices of some of her asso-
ciates in the office.
She drifted into the gay, reckless
set, and became addicted to theater
| parties ending in wine suppers,
dances and JOY rides. Companions
without religion crowded out of her
life her old friends, the safe friends
she had grown up with in a Catholic
school and who had been warmly
welcomed in her home.

she's stiff and queer if she doesn't

lionaire. If you saw the flowers he
gives her! He's a perfect gentleman.
Thus the deluded parents played
with danger. All too soon they
learned what harm could come to
the child they would have died tc
i save. Midnight revels, drink, reck
