She took her little wash cloth and

she could put it under the hot water

the warm cloth on the snowman's

The result was quite magical. his

Twin City Courts Hold Reception in
Her Honor.

Mrs. Rose D. Rittman, former ma

Order of Foresters, spent few days
visiting relatives in Minneapolis on
her way to Portland, Oregon, where
she will make her home Mrs. Ritz
man resigned her position as nation
al president owing to failing health.
Receptions were rendered her in Chi
cago and. Milwaukee, where the men,
bers assembled to express their re-
gret at her departure and to voice
their appreciation of her eleven years
of service as chief executive of the
order.
During her stay here the Foresters
of the Twin Cities held social ses-
sions of their courts to wish her God
speed. Father Cullen of the Pro.Ca-
thedral delivered the farewell address
in Minneapolis ,and Father Lawrence
Ryan, pastor of the Cathedral, paying
a similar tribute in st. Paul. Mrs.
Rittman is succeeded as national pres
ident by Miss Mary L. Downes Of
Chicago, who has served two terms las
vice president. Miss Downes is a
woman of great ability and many
years experience in the insurance
field. The vacancy created on the
board of directors by Miss Downes'
promotion has been filed by Mrs. J..
R. Miller of Minneapolis, who will rep.
resent the state of Minnesota. The

what Congress will or will not do de-
pends in large measure upon the
effectiveness with which the idea is
brought home to members of Congress
that millions of American citizens,
native and Irish-born as we'll as
others, will not see without protest
the United States committed to
policy which shuts and locks the door
of opportunity to Ireland.
The Republican membership on the
Foreign Relations Committee of the
Senate includes some Senators who
are avowedly sympathetic with the
Irish struggle for independence. The
same is true of the House committee
without regard to politics. When the
time comes many voices will be raised
to protest against the ratification of
a past which holds out the promise
Of self-determination to Armenia and
denies it to Ireland; but the effective
ness of the protest will depend upon
the measure in which it reflects the
opinion of the people of the United
States.
There is no doubt that the Irish
question is becoming popular in the
capital. 1t is being made the topic
for school and college debates; and
it is apparent, from the inquiries ad-
dressed to the Irish National Bureau,
that many persons are eager for in
formation, awakening to the desire Of
knowing what it is all about. The
religious bias, too, is rapidly disap-
pearing. At recent meeting, held at

independence, one of the speakers
was a distinguished clergyman, who
was neither Irish nor Catholic. 1.-THE
question is being considered in
purely political light, whether the

The banquet given in honor of
Archbishop Bowling under the aus
pices of the Hennepin Minneapolis
Knights of Columbus, on Tuesday eve
ming at the Donaldson tea rooms,
proved to be, delightful social func-
tion as we'll as an inspiring call to
new and broader fields of service for
the Knights and similar societies. It
was the initial greeting of Minneapo-

late, who was installed ais successor
to the late Archbishop Ireland in
March. AS Archbishop Bowling en-.
tered the banquet room all the guests
remained standing and applauded for
several minutes, while he smilingly
and with beaming countenance
showed his appreciation of the hearty
greeting. 1t was quite evident that he
is quick friendmaker and the spirit
of democracy is a basic quality of his
magnetic personality.
When the time for speech-making
arrived Judge William c. Leary, the
toastmaster of the evening, pledged

Summary Of Archbishop DowIing's
Address.

the war work of the Knights, Arch:
bishop Dowling proceeded to say:
The war work of the knights OF
Columbus was so well performed that
the Organization, and the church II
represents, must continue to do public
service and extend it to other fields.
Recently we have taken up the
challenge of the times and accepted
an obligation that we have discharged

this work and take up our task in q
new field.

desire to see diplomatic relations re-

interest in France, neither the present
