PROPER SUPPORT OF CLERGY.

The Literary Digest gives space
in it's valuable columns to plead for
an increase In the pay of clergymen.
Our contemporary urges in its plea:
"Your pastor is not cheap man nor
unskilIed laborer. He has brought
long, careful training to his task.
He was chosen with scrutinizing
care as to his qualifications, and he
Is being measured today by high
and exacting requirements in the
performance of his work. Carry
that measurement to its just con-
clusion. What salary would you
expect to pay to the trained man in
business of whom such important
work and expert ability were re-
quired? Set down ON paper the
qualities and duties you demand of
your pastor. and then judge their
value"
The Ave Maria joins in the plea
and adds: The Digest's point Is
well taken. Insofar as priests are
concerned, such slight increase In
their salaries as has Tin some dio.

year or two is uncomfortable when
compared with the increased cost
of living during the same period. In
every branch of commerce and in
dustry wages have notably adj
vanced: the pew is taking more
money and justice demands that the
pulpit should receive more. In the
case of priests In charge of pop
ulous parishes. an increase OF salary
means greater efficiency and a wider
exercise OF bonevolence.'

eighty-two acres. improved with a
residence and outbuildings, in
Portsmouth, near Newport, r. l.,
has been acquired by the Order of
bt. Benedictine Monks as site for

MASS UNDER FLAG.

The presence OF so many Catholic
soldiers from the United States
frankly protesting and practicing
their religion mas not been without
effect both on the authorities and
civilians of France. The French
were not aware. they are often
heard to say. that there were so
many OF the good Catholics in
America" And they have had
their little laugh over 1.-THE affair
of that Irish Colonel" who had mass
offered for his regiment in public
square in defiance of governmental
prescriptions. When he announced
the mass. as the story goes. he was
politely Informed that II could not
possibly be celebrated so publicly;
whereupon he ordered the regi-
mental flag to be unfuried. remark
ing that wherever the Stars and
Stripes fioated there was freedom OF
worship.

TAKES OIL PLACE.

AS an indication of the great
scarcity and expense of sanctuary
oil it is interesting to note that the
Bishop of Wichita, Kas., has given
his priests permission to let an
electric light burn before the
tabernacle in place of the time-hon-
ored vegetable oils usually demand
ed by the church. This Is In lire
with a general permission given by
the Holy See some months ago and
is given place here as indicating
that the same was a necessary
economic concession. ta

UNITED OLD AND NEW WORLD
Atlantic Gable, After Three oisheart. enino Failures, Was Successfully
 Laid In Juiy-Auaust 1888.

Sixty years ago our broad Yankee land awOke and learned that the old country and the new had been united by magical tie-the Atlantic cable.
 Through the courage and persistence of three Americans-there were Oth. CTS. hut the three were the actual cable sponsOrs-Cyrus w. Field, his brother, David Dudley Field, and that fine old philanthr0pist, Peter COOper-the great project was carried over The total cost was $1,s34,5OO, the cable alone taking $1, 1,256,250, and the line crossed from Trinity bay, Newfoundland tO Valentia, Ireland, the cable being very close to 2.500 miles long.
 Three times the attempt to lay the cable had failed, chiefly owing t0 de. fects in its material. The fourth at- tempt was successful. The Niagara, then the largest ship In the United States navy, and the AgamemnOn, n British warshIp, met in mdocean on July 20, 1S5S each carrying a section of the cable. The ends were carefully spliced and then the two ships turned homewQrd, moving slowly as they paid out the cable, On August 4 the Ma. gaTa reached Trinity bay; the Aga. memnOn reached Yalentia on the 9th. On August 16 the cable was pros nounced in working order, and here Is the first official message that passed across:
 Europe and America are united by telegraphy. Glory to God In the high est; on earth peace, good win toward men,"

Fix the Furnace Now

The prudent man will have his fur mace put in thorough order at the pres ent time. Letting 1t go till fall would be rash at a time when labor is so scarce as now and when there are sure to be sO many other people anxious to have their furnaces put In order. There was considerable complaint last winter of the quality of some of the coal. which was explained by the sto- ries received from the mining regions of the working over of heaps at the pit heads. some of which represented the accumulation of many years. This winter the coal may contain fewer impurities. hut necessity for getting the greatest possible return in service for every pound burned will be Obvi- ous in view of the rule that consumers are allowed to purchase only a per eentage of the total amount they used for heating their houses 6 year ago. A furnace that is out of order will waste a great deal of coal. No one can afford to have that sort of thing going on at the present time.

CITY NO LONGER PEST HOLE
British Authorities Have Worked Wonders in Cleaning Up Ancient
 Capital of the caliphs.

Paved streets, electric street lights, municipal sprinkling carts, a modern fire department-these are all in old Bagdad now. says Cleveland Plain dealer. Or. rather. they are in new Bagdad, for the slumberOus city on the Tigris has assumed a new aspect since the British drove out the Turks six teen months ago.
 Nothing now remains of the filth and squalOr of the Turkish regime. The place Is stin oriental. but the oriental atmosphere Is less OdOriferous. Dead cats are not left to decOmpOse In the middle of narrow streets. Great Brit ain has wonderful way of leaving orfentalism unspOlled while making 1t reasonably clean. The British sol dier cannot abide filth. His sanitary squads penetrate the remOteSt news and the most deeply hidden eesspoOls, and the news and the cesspools cease to offend. The natives soon discover that cleanliness is not a horror.
 The Arab Is not naturally vile, but he has fallen into the ways of his Turkish masters. Bagdad Is as inter esting as ever, and ever SO much safer. After the war many British tourists will visit the ancient Abbaslde capital, where ruled the mighty caliphs, and will note with interest the British benefits bestowed on the city that VII helm und GOtt once picked as the far goalpOst of MitteleurOpa.

AT END OF GLACIAL PERIOD
Geological Authority Makes pedue- tlons From Shrinking Of Great
 Ice Cap at the South Pole.

pr. Marsden Manson Of San Fran cisco, an eminent authority on geology, points to the fact established by re. cent Antarctic explorers that the great ice cap is shrinking. From this he draws t,.e conclusion that the gradual subsistence of the Age. of Ice of which the polar ice caps are the existing remnants, is still going on and that we live, so 10 speak, at the tall end of the glacial period. He expresses the conviction that the same succession of geological climates has prevailed in Antarctic as in other attitudes, and says that the evidence collected in re- cent Antarctic explorations Is corrob0. rated by the comparatively recent un. covering of temperate land areas and the progressive retreat of the snow line to higher elevations in temperate and tropical attitudes and toward the poles at sea level. He comes to the conclusion that the disappearance of the Ice Age is an active present process and must be accounted for by activi. ties and energies now at work. He considers it as proved that the rates and lines of retreat are and have been determined by exposure to solar en- ergy and the temperature established thereby and by the difference in the specific heat of the land and water hemispheres.

'Oh, yes, indeed. He's just finished a new book on bird monOgamy. I am so impatient to read 1t. It must be wonderful"
 Here is a bargain" said Philip, draining the coffee pot for last cup of coffee to offer to his companion. 'I'n let you read that wonderful book if you'll tell me what it is about" And that led very easily to telling the girl the predicament he was in.
 It was in midsummer that James Deveridge came up to the mountain camp to visit his nephew.
 At least you have stayed here" he said. "I don't know what you have been doing, but thought you would have given up long before this" Philip lost no time in showing his uncle what he had been doing. There were hum dreds of photographs that no eyes save those of Philip and Alice Gerry had ever fallen upon before. The nega- tives had been developed and the pie lures had been printed in the shack. Of this detail of the process Philip was c past master. What amazed the uncle was that the pictures were so entirely what he wanted.
 "They are the most wonderful pie lures 1 have ever seen," said the old man, tears coming into his usually hard old eyes. ''It is ss If had sud- denly found you, my nephew. It has always been my grief that no one of my own has been interested in the work do. But you must he interest," ed or you could not have done these pictures. They are as good in their way as anything I ever did."
 A little later Alice Gerry. dressed In her usual tree-climbing attire. slipped into the shack and came straight over to the old mans side.
 eve always lOnged to meet you," she said with a timidity that indicated her admiration better than any elab- crate compliments she might have ex- pressed would have done. "Tve been getting together few notes to give you on my own observations. have always wondered if you would accept them"
 There was just a little disappoint. ment In the old mans face as he took the girls hands into his. Then the pictures were not my nephew's work and you, like the others who under stand my work, will go away from me and leave me alone. I had hoped my nephew took the pictures"
 "He did take them" the girl assured him, WHs took every one and took most of them alone. just showed him at first and then he became as en. thuslastic as T."
 "And, anyway" interrupted the nephew, who perhaps had never ap- preciated his eccentric old uncle as much before as he should have, "Alice is going to be your niece. We were just waiting to ask your blessing"
 And In truly patriarchal fashion the white-haired old man stood and raised his hands in benedictiOp,

TURNING PESTS INTO PROFITS
United States Department of Aar.euI- ture Has Plans for Dealing With
 the Rabbit Problem.

Fully 2O0,OO0OO0 wild rabbits are killed in the United States every year according to estimates made by the biological survey of the United States department of agriculture. Many of them are jack rabbits, the alorlty of which have not been utilized In the past. If all the rabbits killed were consumed, they would represent be- tween 100000 and 300,0O0 tons of val uable food, and If proper measures were taken to Insure the collection of skins, these alone would have a value of $20,O00,000. The biological survey has frequently been called upon to help western farmers in coping with the rabbit pest. In view of the probable economic value of rabbit meat and fur In the coming few years, the energies of the farmers and ranchmen will be directed to the conservation of this im- portant resource. Already a number of establishments for collecting, dress ing, canning, and shipping rabbit meat are in operation in western centcrs. As in Australia the transition of the wild rabbit In this country from its status as pest to source of profit is assured, it is believed,

Wooden shoss Classy

If 1t were not for the pioneers hu- manity would be helpless. The wife of Lieut.. A. J. Huntington of the One Hundred Sixty-Second infantry, resi- dent in Portland, Ore, has long been of the opinion that shoes are too high in price, and, having the courage of her convictions and possessing also a desire to save leather for the army, she occasionally wears a pair of neat wooden low shoes. These are painted black, with a patent leather effect, and are really very convenient and classy in still life, though the rigidIty of the sole is some backset. The lieu tenant sent the shoes from France, where that style of shoes is much in use. With rubber tires to dispense with the staccatO rattle on cement walks, mother and the girls might save pin money and get along, and with few old pairs around the house would never be out of kindling wood.

CHAPLAINs TELL OF FRONT
Moral and Religious Situation There
 Declared to Be Excellent, and i Will Stay That Way.

Chaplains Francis B. DOherty and Lyman Rollins have just returned from France on military mission to the United States.
 Chaplain Doherty is attached to gen. eral headquarters in France, being as sociated with Bishop Charles H. Brent and Chaplain Paul Dwight Moody (son of the well-knOwn evangelist of that name) in the general headquarters chaplains' office. The function of this office is, declares the religious public ity committee, the direction and dis trtbutlon of chaplains' activities in France to the end of the attainment of the best and special interests of all concerned, under General Pershing. This work carries with it considerable travel and gives an intimate knowledge of the situation from a religious and moral point of view.
 From this broad knowledge Chap lain -Doherty says: Everywhere we
