ORPHANAGE GIVEN BUILDING
NATIVE CHILDREN MADE Or
PHANS BY INFLUENZA - RE-
CEIVE GIFT FROM X. OF c. OF
BUILDING so BADLY NEEDED.

From the frozen North has come a
story of self-sacrifice, of devotion, of
fidelity to duty that should make ev-
cry Catholic heart quicken with ap-
probation. 1t is the story of the de-
voted Fathers and Sisters in the far
regions of Alaska, serving their
Church and their God, no matter what
the cost to them in physical hardship
and suffering.
The story was told by Ambrose
Gallagher K. C. secretary, who was
sent to Nome to work among the SOL
diers.
So impressive was the need of the
missioners in their efforts to shelter
and feed the little Eskimo children
orphaned by the ravages of the inf1u-
enza epidemic, that the Knights of
Columbus turned over to them a COM
plete outfit for building. Lumber for
the structure, brought from Seattle to
Nome, a player piano, talking ma
chimes and records, even a lighting
plant were included in the gift to the
needy workers.
Of the work of these missionaries,
Gallagher writes:
Our being able to turn over our
supplies to the orphanage was a God
send to the missionaries. Here they
have been trying tirelessly to care
for all the native children left orphans
by the ravages of the flu. The priests
here go hundreds of miles by dog
team in winter and on foot in sum-
mer, watching their flock.
"They are in working clothes, work
ing as hard as man could be expected
to work, and it is an uphill job. Right
Rev. Joseph Crimont, S. j., Bishop of
Alaska, was fortunate enough to get
as site for the new mission and
orphanage, one of the garden spots of
Alaska. 1t is north of Nome, how
ever, and reaches 70 below in winter.
1.-TWO weeks ago, five Sisters came
to start the school. Two of them were
| just from Rome and could not speak a
| word of English.
"The priests were at the end of
their means, and then we came along
and were able to give them every
thing they needed and just what they
had prayed for, even to the piano and
lighting plant. 1t is now possible for
them to have building over their
! heads by the freeze-up."

The utterance Of Senator Jo-

washington, D. CO., is additional
cumulative evidence Of the ex-
tremes to which those antagonis-

ton as republic are disposed to
go in their desire to maintain the
supremacy of Great Britain. Sen
ator Robinson is quoted as saying,
'the leaders Of the movement for
an Irish republic harbored Ger

the charge is proved by quoting
Admiral Sims, who, in a recent

A LIVING WAGE NOW.

What is a living wage today?
This question is of interest be-
cause there can be no settlement
for any length of time of any
question of wages, if the compen-
sation received by an employee
will not enable that employee to
live decently or with a fair de-
gree OF contentment, observes the
Catholic News.
A few years ago Henry Ford
announced that no wage less than
S. day would be paid in his au-
tomobile plant. The announce
ment caused the gathering of such
mass of people seeking employ
ment that when proclamation was
made that every possible vacancy
had been filled the throngs re-
fused to dispense, and eventually
firemen had to turn the hose upon
the mobs who clamored to work
in the Ford plant. The situation
looked grave for a time, because
of the resentment felt by those
who had come from some distance
to secure the remunerative en-
ployment that they sought and ex-
pected to receive and the dread of
the form that such resentment
might take.
In some Of the proft-sharing
plans now in operation, the week
ly compensation given to the en-
ployees is based upon a studied
and ascertained Giving wage
In the case Of the employees of
Col. P. H. Callahan Of Louisville,
KY, the living wage paid by his
company was based upon the fig
ures compiled by the Rev. DR..
John A. Ryan, one of the foremost
economists Of the country. Col.
Callahan was Of the opinion that a
living wage lin 1879 was some
thing over $5per day. Under profit.
sharing plans, such wage is paid
regularly, and when the percent
age of profit permitted to "capi-
tai the investment represented
by bonds or stock-is allotted
the remainder is divided equally
between capital - the share
holders-and "labor''- the EN-.
ployees. The division is, in some
cases, entirely impartial, that is
everybody from the manager OF
president down to the office boys
receives the same sum, while in
some other cases, the division is
based upon allowances and diff
ferences in position, years of serv
ice, character Of service or other
factors. In the latter forms Of
division, a man upon a $4,000
yearly salary might receive ter
times as much as a laborer upor

Of Ireland to freedom and indie

a similar motion by large ma

Allan B. Benson, late candidate
OF the Socialist party for Presi-

with that party, as Charles E.
Russell, John Spargo, Sinclair,
and others who are pro-American
have done. Benson say that the
trouble with the Socialist party is
that it is controlled by the for
eign-born who are incapable of
feeling what Americans feel.
These leaders are assisted by an
anarchistic syndicalistic minority

NEW HUDSON SERVICE BEGINS.
Company Will Occupy Largest
Service station Tuesday.

The work OF transforming the huge
hudson garage at ais West Sixty
ci-hth street into an up to date service
station for Hudson Super Six and Essex
clr owners moved rapidly forward last
week and President Harry s. Houpt OF
the Hudson Motor Car Company said
that the alterations would be completed
in time to take formal possession of the
new building on Tuesday.
The new service station, which Is the
largest in the city devoted exclusively
TO the care and repair of passenger cars,
will mean much to the huge army OF
10000 Hudson Super Six and Essex car
owners in this territory.
The immense size of the new service
station. n four storied fireproof s;ruc-
ture. 200 by 276 feet, with its various
floors connected by ramps. removing the
annoyance of slow moving elevators
will also contribute in a large measure
to the elimination OF delays of handling
caused by the restricted quarters of the
Old service station. Not only this. but
the fact that the building is flooded by
unrestricted light on all four sides will
also contribute to rapid and accurate
work on the part OF the mechanical
force.
The additional space in the new build
ing also permits the storage OF far
larger number OF parts. as here will be
,lrried 5000. 900 worth of spare parts for
Hudson and Essex cars, which will pre-
vent sending to the factory for some
small parts, which means endless and
annoying delays for customers.

Rural motor express operation has

application.
War conditions enforced a transfer OF
largo quantities of freight from the rail-.

CARLISLE TIRE RECORD.
Business shows Remarkable De-
velopmcnt I'm Two Years.

Business shows Remarkable De-
velopment I'm Two Years.
In discussing the remarkable progress
made by the Carlisle Cord Tire Company.
resulting last week in the purchase of
q great factory site at Stamford, Conn,
to meet demands that have gone far be-
yond the facilities OF the present
plant at Andover. Mass, J. Edward
Demar. manager Of the Carlisle Sales
Company Of New York. said:
For tire in It's second year the Car
Isle is making remarkable strides. It
has secured a complete distributing
chain about the country. and these
distributors represent the highest type
Of business ability in the tire industry.
Carlisle has carefully selected its
dealers and has pursued the policy of
great elaboration In closing towns. In
spite of this so many nigh grade dis
Tibutors have been attracted that they
were able to close up the country in
slightly over twelve months time.
All these distributors ordered what
they regarded as a years supply Of tires
In January. and most of them since then
have found their orders entirely made
quate and have placed orders for an
additional quantity.
Were 1t not for the fact that the
Carlisle Cord Tire Company Is expand
ing It's production facilities rapidly they
would undoubtedly face a serious over
sold situation. However, they have so
far been able to avoid disappointing
many customers.
Tire dealers from many parts OF the
country are travelling to New York and
to the factory in Andover, MasA, to
obtain the line. Those who have seen
the tire built say that the methods are
a revelation. A great deal of secrecy
has been maintained throughout in
building the tire: in fact, during the
first twelve months of production no
one outside OF the immediate employees
OF the Carlisle organization was al
lowed In the factory.
r. "One feature OF the Carlisle Tire
which Is attracting dealers as well as
consumers Is the fact that It Is no more
expensive than the average high grade
casing, although It possesses many fea-
lures not found in any other tire on
the market"
