A WARNING FROM ROME.

From time to time the clergy
and the Catholic press thunder
forth terrific d unciatio II S
against the immodesty shown in
women s dress. The guilty ones
smile, talk Of old-fashioned peo-
pie, and continue in their way
wardness. The cause Of purity
and modesty receives another
wound, and then many wonder at
the downfall of our youth.
Within the past year or two the
evil has progressed to such stage
that not a few Bishops throughout
the world have seen fit to issue
severe condemnation Of such a
pagan and immoral tendency. The
effect, apparently, has been but
slight, for the evil appears to gain
Roadway as time passes. Again,
many said that even prelates
could be better occupied than in
legislating about the dress Of
women, thus displaying a distinct
ly rebellious spirit toward those
who have been placed in positions
Of authority over us.
Recently the Holy Father
thought so seriously of the matter
that in public discourse he took
occasion to arraign in scathing
terms those Catholic women who
allow their love Of so-called style
and fashion to take precedence
over their duty as Christians.
The Supreme Pontiff never speaks
so publicly on any matter unless
there be grave reasons for the ut
terance. Will our Catholic socie-
ties of women realize their respon-
sibility in this matter, now that
the Pope has declared himself so
vigorously?
Women and girls who dress in
such fashion as to expose them
selves indecently, commit sin and
are the occasion Of many sins in
others. 1t matters little whether
such brazen imitators of the deni-
zens Of the underworld admit
their sinfulness or not; they prove
it by their actions, and in this
they are sinful.
The power welded by our Cath
Ollie women organized in social
units is very great. It behooves
them to exercise, their influence
among their members as well as
outside their sphere in order to
lead the feminine mind into purer
and saner channels. The Hebrews
Of old soon lost their purity and
faith when brought into intimate
contact with the sensual pagans
about them. The same evil effect
is noticeable among Catholic
women when they allow them
selves to be led astray by the false
standards Of dress and decorum
Of the modern pagans, who are in
the vast majority in our country
The warning Of the Holy Father
is most serious. If it fall upon
deaf ears we may look for a fur

force Catholic womanhood to de-
clare itself as to whether it be
willing to live up to Christian

may be far more grievous than WE

DUTY OF WAGE FARMERS.

The Right Hon. Arthur Henderson,
M. P, National Secretary of the Brit
ish Labor Party, said:
Il have come to the conclusion that
strong drink is an obstacle to social
and economic development, and that
those who ought to fight that obstacle
most are the wage earners, and more
particularly the leaders of organized
labor who know the serious inroads
that drink made at times in the ranks
of the working classes"

We confess that we are utterly
Indifferent as to whether or not
the bigots Of England succeed in
their attack upon the Vatican,
says a British exchange. England,
and not the Papacy, stands to lose
by their success. The Vatican got
along very well for four hundred
years without the official recogni-
ton Of England. Were he ig-
nored by every secular govern
ment in the world, the Pope
would still be the Vicar Of Christ.
His authority in things spiritual
would still be recognized by his
children throughout the world.
To be sure an arrangement of
some sort with the secular author
tiles facilitates the exercise Of his
divine commission. But the gov
ernments Of the world need the
Pope far more than the Pope
needs them.

THE INVENTION OF WIND
DEELECTORS.

A long square, tuhnel-lke box.
Some smoke. A large electric fan.
An automobile body. These were the
properties used in the BenteI shops for
the development of the wind deflectors
which now are being distributed In
large numbers on the Pacific coast and
shipped all over the country. In ex-
planning how the device was originated,
Bentel Yesterday said: One of our de-
signers hit upon the tunnel-box idea.
We built this, put in an auto body,
blew in smoke with a powerful electric
fan and then watched the results. We
then quickly found how to remedy it,.
By changing the angle and the side of
the wing" we found that we could
prevent the wind from swirling around
behind the front seat And at the
same time keep the car open so there
would be easy conversation among the

in determining its worth to the owner
and in deserving his satisfaction II
said that no higher order of en-
gineering talent was ever employed in
planning motor car than was de-
voted to the designing oh the Liberty
six.
Some OF the most able automobile
engineers in the country are responsi
BILE for the car. Although only one mr.
two are actively associated with the
Liberty Motor Car company. tbese
men all hold stock in the firm. Their
investments were made at the time
the organization was formed, when II
was explained to them that the idea
in building the Liberty was to pro-
duce car that would come nearer

Iowner-driver than 'anything being Of
fered the public.
After receiving certain basic ideas
the talent of these engineers was Civ
en- free rein. They were enthusia site
over the opportunity because it left
them unhampered by the usual
"cheapness" restriction and permitted
them TO exercise their. ingenuity in
devising features to assure the utmost
in comfort and convenience and util-
ity for the car owner.
And what was more important, they
themselves felt the need of guarantee
ing thorough goodness in the car to
protect and enhance their own finan-
cial interests. The result of their
united efforts WAS expressed at the
completion of their work by an en-
glneer whose name is familiar wher-
ever motor cars are sold, in these
words: Gentlemen, here is the most
advanced type of light six chassis
that you will see for years.
How his prophecy has been borne
out may be interestingly observed in
the subsequent adoption by other mo-
tor car manufacturers of many of the
original Liberty six features.

by hot chamber in the manifold, was

move at very high speeds Some of
these pumps have 4 splash fabrication
for their Internal mechanism and this
means that great care in the selection
and fitting of piston rings must be OBJ :
served, or oil will get into the tire a
matter very carefully guarded against
in most constructions. In some Of the
recent tire pumps wick oiling is en-
ployed and seems to work OUT very
satisfactorily. Poppet valves are usual
ly employed in these pumps, though
ball valves and simple screened open
ings in the cylinder wall also are used.
The pumps which are fastened to
the end of the crankshaft are mounted
where the starting crank goes. This
type of pump is only put in place
when 1t is to be used, and is ordinarily
carried in the tool box. The pump is
driven by means of dog clutch at the
end of the crankshaft.
The compression pump, also known
as the spark plug pump. is not as
popular as it used to be. There used to
be the difficulty of removing a spark
plug every time it was necessary to
pump UP a tire but in these pumps
made today a spark plug is included,
so that the pump stays in the cylinder
ready for use at any time.
The power tire pump does not
need much care to keep it going in
good shape. There is always a dam
ger that some failure in the mechanism
may permit oil to be pumped into the
tire, the rubber of which is quickly
ruined by it. once in a while hold Il
piece of white paper up before the air
outlet of the pump to see If oil is be-
ing pumped. The pump should be in
spected once every month or oftener,
to see that it is firmly in place. If en-
gagement is made by hand the gears
must be kept operating freely. Also
the guages included with the power
pump are apt to be somewhat mislead-
ing, not being accurate within two or
three pounds of the pressure. The
small hand guages, however, are gem
orally dependable.
/ know that it is not always pos
sibie to install a power tire pump and
in cases where it is impossible to have
them, l would recommend the foot
board type of pump, which is also
known as the foot pump. This pump
is operated by the foot, just as the
ii,
back breaking effort is eliminated. The
labor of pumping up by means of this
pump is not great and the tires will
probably be kept reasonably well filled
with air. There are hand pumps, too
which may be attached to the foot
board and are operated by means of a
long handle and these are not bad.
But, where 1t is possible, l would
recommend the installation of a power
pump. The car owner whose vehicle
is not provided with a power pump,
should consult the service station of
his make to find out which pump is
recommended. Some pumps are more
easily installed on certain cars than
others The total cost of putting on a
power pump will not exceed SIS on
most cars and will usually run below
that figure. No owner who makes the |
installation will ever regret spending
he money.

SUGGESTIONS ON oILING.

Here are few suggestions on lubri
cation, based on experiments with
| fleets of so to 100 vehicles.
/ Set definite schedule for lubrica
ton Of various portions of the ma
chine.
| 1T the full force feed fabrication sys-
tenn is used in the engine, the crank
case should be drained, and cleaned
| (Washed with kerosene) every SOC
milesA Other systems should be clean
ed at least every 1000 miles.
The gearcase and transmission
should be regularly cleaned, every
1000 or 5000 miles, according to the
type of transmission, and the manu-
facturer's instruction book will give
the needed recommendations on this
point.
AT the end of 1000 miles, fill the
dlfferential with oil, a partially fluid
oil, preferably, not grease, and every
1000 or 5000 miles, as recommended,
by the manufacturer, clean the diff
ferential thoroughly.
AT the end of every $50 miles. screw
up all grease cups. Be sure that the
grease is actually being forced into
the bearing If the channels are
'choked, have them cleaned out, so that
the grease can set into the bearings.
In the army inspections, this is over
done, rather than sighted. When an
army truck was inspected, the driver
was required to screw down the grease
sups until q collar of clear white
grease worked out from the bearing,
to make sure that the grease was ac-
tually penetrating the moving. parts.
This, at times, seemed like a waste
of grease, but it made certain that
no part of the vehicle was to suffer
from worn bearings, and trucks thus
handled were in the shops a far less
period than those less carefully lubri-
Gated.
The British army with four years
of war, proved the efficiency of this
method of handling motor trucks, or
lorries as they termed them, for trucks
operated four years were still in serv-
ice, brightly polished, clean, and oper-
ating without knocks or rattles at the
end of the war, and ready for many
more thousands of miles of service.
In commercial life, the problem is
to assure the attention of the driver
fleets this was done by discipline. In
commercial life, it must be by various
forms of bonuses.
