and specially he is in New York to
enjoy well-earned vacation far from
the maddening air hammer.

NOTRE DAME UNIVERSITY.

Army regulations, which apportion
forty-tive square feet to the man in
barracks, have more than doubled the
capacity of dormitories at Notre Dame
University, writes Edward OConnor.
Corby Hall, named after Rev. William
Corby, c. S. c., once president of the
university and chaplain in the Union
army. now houses two hundred and
sixty men. These sleep on regulation
Government steel cots, the students
beds OF other years having been re-
moved. The same is true, of course,
in the other barracks.
Seminarians from Holy Cross Semi
nary, Notre Dame, are doing most of
the work on the new mess hall, and
have worked so we'll that the structure
is nearly ready for use.
Besides the military section of the
Students Army Training Corps, a
naval section, of one houndred men, is
now part of the Government at Notre
Dame. The naval men are still under
the command of Capt. Murray, of the
military, though naval officer may be
appointed before long.
Confessions are heard daily for the
benefit Of the student-soldiers, and
every facility offered for frequent,
even daily, holy communions. Ad-
justment of the military schedule with
the academic schedule has presented
some difficulties; but, despite the large
number of courses at Notre Dame, a.
schedule is now arranged in which
there will be few if any clashes. The
enrolment at Notre Dame this year
is slightly over fifteen hundred.
The entire university excepting
clerical students will soon be in uni
form, the prep students by a ma
jority of twenty to one choosing mil
itary drill in preference to organized
athletics.

PARENTS DUTY.

The worst that can befall boy is to
have the liberty to stay out late at
night This is often a fatal privilege,
because it is mostly during the night
that all the mischief is planned and
executed. The boys who are permit
ted the freedom of our public streets
at ali hours of the night are the boys
who fill our prisons, and bring sorrow
upon their relatives and friends All
parents should keep their boys off the
streets and at home at night. Par
ents, look to it. Do not think because
the boys bring their earnings on Sat
urday they are free to do as they
please and go where they will BY no
means You are always supreme in
the home and God will hold you re-
sponsible for the conduct of your
children as long as they live under
your roof.

1.-THE HONOR ROLL"

The following editorial taken from
the Columbian, official organ of the
Knights of Columbus, has the right
ring and will he read with interest
by all our readers inside and outside
the organizations:
The list of Americans killed in ac
ton grows with the passing of each
day. 1t will continue to grow. Every
name Oh the list is debt contracted
by the people of the United States
of America. 1t is a debt that money
cannot pay. The gigantic cost of the
world conflict, if credited to the ac-
count of one mother who has lost a
son, would not compensate her Her
recompense is found in the knowl-
edge OF stern duty performed. She
gave her boy with secret sorrow and
smiling face. He gave his life.
Some of the men who have gone
down to glorious death carried with
them the emblem of the knights of
Columbus. They died in defence of
the principles to which the United
States of America and the knights
OF Columbus are unalterably pledged.
"These men do not so away as mill
tary soldiers to fight the foe for lib
erty and democracy, but as soldiers in
Christ's army under the banner of
Christianity. They so away with that
apostolic spirit, confidence in God,
love of Jesus Christ and willingness
to die if necessary to carry out Chris
tian work among the pagans and
heathens."

DEFINITION OF A FRIEND.

What is friend? l will tell you.
1t is a person with whom you dare to
be yourself. Your soul can go naked
with him. He seems to ask of you to
put on nothing, only to be what you
are. He does not want you to be bet
ter or worse. When you are with him
you feel as prisoner feels who has
been declared innocent. You do not
have to be on your guard. You can
say what you think, express what you
feel. He is shocked at nothing, offend
ed at nothing, SO long as it is genuine
ly you. He understands those contra
dictfons in your nature that lead 9TH
ers to misjudge you. With him you
breathe freely. You can take off your
coat and loosen your collar You can
avow your little vanities and envies
and hates and vicious sparks, your
meanness and absurdities, and in OPEN
ing them up to him they are lost, dis
solved in the white ocean of his 10y
atty He understands. You do not
have to be careful. You can abuse
him, neglect him, berate him. Best of
all, you can keep still with him. It
makes no matter. He likes you. He
is like fire, that purifes all you do.
He is like water, that cleanses all you
say. He is like wine, that warns you
to the bone. He understands ne un-
derstands, he understands. You can
weep with him, laugh with him, sin
with him, pray with him. Through
and underneath it all he sees, knows
and loves-you. A friend, repeat, is
one with whom you dare to be your
self-Dr. Frank Crane.

LOOK AHEAD.

Looking ahead year from now,
five years from now, what do you see
for yourself?
Are you working and planning now
to increase your earning capacity in
the next ten years. or are you letting
the future take care Of itself?
Where do you expect to land?
Five years seem long way to
look into the future, you say, and
perhaps you feel that it would be a
great hardship to you to have to con-
tinue studying along a certain line
which you know would benefit you
greatly.
But when this five years has passed
and you find that you are not better
off than you are at present, with just
so many years out from those in which
you must make good, you will regret
the time wasted.
Have you a picture in your mind
chat something is going to turn up"

THE MOST ADMIRED GIRL.

The really to-be-admired girl is
always kind and considerate, and
whether she is attractive or talented,
is OF practically no moment. If she
is tactful as we'll as agreeable, and
is quick to see the good points in
her chums, she will, without any
question, endear herself to those per-
sons, and before she knows it will
be having far more delightful time
than the prettiest girl she knows.
Beauty" so all the philosophers
assure us, "is only skin deep" Then
how much better and wiser to forget
it entirely, and take pride in al
ways appearing scrupulously neat.
Today, any girl may, regardless of
her looks, present an attractive APP
pearance, if she chooses dainty and
becoming (not loud) frocks suited to
her individuality,
The business girl who will pur-
chase an expensive silk outfit, mean
while putting off or delaying some
very important dental work, is GER
tainly acting most unwisely. True,
not all persons are gifted with teeth
classed as perfect, yet every young
woman knows, or should konw, that
many physical ills result from neg
lected teeth.

SWORD PLAYS NO PART NOW.

Except as weapon of sentiment
an emblem of conflict, rather than a
useful arm-the sword has largely
been laid aside. AS metaphor it
will remain in poetical and artistic
use. AS decoration, there seems to
be no call for it in the present con-
flict Shrapnel, bombs, high explo-
sives, poison gas and all the other
practical and brutal forms of man.
power destruction have cut the dec
orative features out of the present
business of war.
Yet the sword for ages has been the
chosen symbol of warm Biblical lit
erature, among the poets of all ages
and common to all writer's of romance.
Tender hands have clasped the sword
belt about warrior waists, admiring
peoples have presented their chosen
heroes with costly swords. The trench
ant blade was once decoration, a
symbol of knightly courage, a badge
cient warriors swore on their sword
hits, they held their blades as sa-
cred possession; the giving up of the
sword was the token of surrender
1t will no doubt continue to serve
to a moderate degree as an offensive
and defensive arm, and possibly as
a special decoration on parade occa.
sions, but its principal use will be left
to the poets and the orators and the
veavers Of romance.

Chaplains and Secretaries Take Most
Modern Vehicles for Trips.

Paris, Oct. 12.-Airplanes and tanks

soldiers over here.
Two chaplains, the Rev. j. Moran,

priests to make their rounds by the

airplanes several times a week and
thus is able to visit field hospitals with

Airplane transportation was used by
the Rev. Mr.. Moran for the first time
when he received two calls to say field
masses one Sunday morning. The call
came from villages SO miles apart
where troops were billeted. An avia-
ton pilot solved the problem for Chap
lain Moran by offering to take him to
both places and he went. The result
was a field mass at one village at G

ALIEN AWARD CASE HERE.
D. w. Lawer Asks to Be Judgment
Rather Than Fund Trustee.

Daniel w. Lawler, Minnesota repre-
sentative of the alien property GUS
tOdian, last Saturday interviewed in
the case of John Krawiec against the
Jefferson Iron Mining company in an
effort to have the alien property Gus
todian be made holder of the $4,000
judgment that Krawiec had been
awarded.
Moritz Helm, attorney for the Rus
sian general consul who instituted the
case in behalf of Krawiec, succeeded
in procuring continuance to Satur-
day in order to confer with the Rus
sian consul.
When Krawiec was awarded the
judgment the mining company was
ordered to pay the money to the alien
property custodian. The alien pro-
perty custodian wants to be holder of
the judgment instead of being trus.
tee of the funds.
Krawiec was a native of Russian
Poland and lived in that portion oc-
cupied by the German troops. There
fore his judgment went to the alien
property custodian to be kept in trust.
