USED TO TRANSPORT ABOUT

The Knights of Columbus circus,
and performers representing many ma

through Belgium, France and the
Rhineland. After the tour which ter
inmates about November l, the show
will disband leaving unique expert
ence with the Europeans. On the
present circuit the show will be given
for the benefit of civilians in several
of the large cities where the A. E. F..
is still being represented by the mill
tary police who are the last to leave
for home.
Some idea of the magnitude of this
American circus, better known as the
Casey Circus" can be gained when
one realizes that it takes % freight
cars to transport it about. There are
upwards of $50 performers, some of
whom are Italians, Japs and Czecho-
Slovaks of European circus fame be-
fore the war. The specialties include
| trapeze artists, contortionists, tumb-
lers and slack wire performers. The
greater part of the actors are men

! formances are given in the open air.

What words Of our Lord give the

Church the power of indulgencea?
The words addressed to st. Peter,
and then extended TO all the Apostles:
Whatsoever you shall loose upon
earth, it shall be loosed also in
Heaven" Matt. XVI, 49, These
words gave to St. Peter and to the
other Apostles and to their success
sors the power over sin, to remove
whatever may hinder Christians from
entering Heaven. Sin is that one OBJ
stacle. There is n temporal punish
ment, or effect, that often remains
after the guilt Of the sin has been
removed. That temporal effect is like
wise a hindrance to immediate entry
into Heaven, and it must be entirely
deleted from the soul before that soul
is worthy to see God face to face
The Church uses the power OF lndul-
aences to remove that punishment
due to sin. This power follows as a
necessary corollary for the power
over sin itself. Christ gave to the
Church, represented by the Apostles,
complete dominion over sin, and that
dominion would not be complete with
ont the power to remove all the CON
seoucnces of sin. The Church teaches
that this is done not only through the
direct and immediate merits of Christ,
but also through those merits OF the
Blessed Virgin and the saints which
they gained through the grace OF
Christ. Gods grace enables the
saints to gain many more merits than
they required for their own salvation,
and the Church applies those merits

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLAG
Glorious Record From January 1S,
1875, to It's Proud Position In
the World In 1919.

The Stars and Stripes was raised
airy 18, 1776, and the British troops be
lieved it to be evidence Of submis-
sion to the king. The Betsy Ross
flag, the official flag, came later.
After the declaration of independ-
ence, July 4, 1776, the first salute to 1t
was given by the Dutch island of st.
Eustatious In the West Indies by Jo-
hannes de Graf, commander OF the
port.
When Kentucky and Vermont came
into the Union in 1854 two additional
stars were placed On the field, but
they were discarded after much de-
bate in congress and the original thir-
teen were restored in 1913.
The first flag that foated over a for
eign and captured fort was at Nassau,
January %, 1778. The first carried
to London vas on a vessel February 3,
1888. 1t floated in China in 1884.
It was carried around the world from
1887 to 1900. The first blood shed un-
der it was in Ireland in 1890 during a
mob riot over a bridge built by Ameri-
can engineers. The first salute to it
given by an English vessel was in May,
1901.

ment had no pl .ce in the thought of

timent concerns what most enriches

WHAT FLAG MEANS TO ALL
Days of Sacrifice and Devotion Have
Made 1t Cause of Pride to
Every American.

The flag means more to Americans
In the year 1919 than it has ever meant
In our lives. And why9 Not, surely,
because it is more familiar. Nor yet
because it floats over hosts Of soldiers
and mighty fleets. There were soldiers
and fleets before. Not, therefore, be-
cause Of it's new part in the panoply
of war.
It means more to us because we
have put more into it. Because, after
years Of peace and plenty in which we
thought of our flag chiefly as some
thing to protect and guard Us, we have
In time of war and grief and hardship
learned to know our flag as something
for us to protect and guard and serve.
A flag, in short, is as great as its
people-and no greater. When they
r great and generous and coura-
geous, it is great and beautiful and
holy. When they falter and haggle,
their flag is less than nothing to them,
as to the world at large.
Ours to love and cherish and die for
In the greatest of causesl Therefore
a source of pride and of deep emotion
to every American. That is the lesson
we are learning in these days Of sacri-
fee and devotion, when a flying bit OF
color becomes the most glorious and
joyous and sacred thing in the whole
wide world.-New York Tribune.

The Finding of Old Glory.

When the day came that our revolu-
tionary fathers Leeded to design a flag
for the new nation of their heroic
founding, they had but to lift their
eyes to the heavens to find the banner
Of their faith and pride.
In the glowing West. in the burning
clouds Of a sunset sky-streaming
across the wide horizon in alternate
bands Of flame and mist-they saw the
symbol Of their own fair dreams, mys-
tic, mighty and battling.
And as they looked, there came a
sudden rending of the f1eecy mass by a
wind Of liberty's own sending, and
through the monster rift thus made
they then beheld a patch of azure sky
set thick with silver stars.
The stars-the stripes-the blue
Old Glory, blazoned in beauty across
the wonder of Gods great heaven, for
all the world to see. It is our flag
God make US worthy of it.-Anne Ran.

Mother wasp,s Good work.

So far as known, only one small in
sect-a wasp of the sphex family
among the millions of creatures belong
ing to a lower order than man, has
ever employed the aid of a tool to ac-
complish a desired result. The mother
wasp of this family digs a tunnel in
the ground, deposits her eggs in it, and
after the wasp has made it's tunnel and
deposited the eggs, it finishes its task
by ramming down pellets Of earth. lit
tie stones. etc., into the mouth of the
tunnel. This is the race habit of these
wasps. 1t is recorded on ~undoubted
authority that one inventive mother,
when the mouth of the tunnel was COW
cred to a level with the rest of the
ground about it, brought a quantity of
fine grains of dirt to the spot, and pick
ing up a small pebble in her mandibles,
used 1t as a hammer in pounding them
down with rapid strokes, thus making
the spot as firm and as hard as the
surrounding surface. Then she depart
ed, brought more dirt, picked up the
pebble again and used it.

Only Loyalty and Union.

Old Glory paints the breeze today as
no other, probably, of all the days that
have passed since that one 142 years
ago when the Continental congress re-
solved, 'That the flag of the United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate red
and white, that the union be thirteen
stars, white in a blue field, represent
ing a new constellation" This years
Flag day will have no perfunctory
observance.
This nation is now as sound and
vigorous as ever. The sisterhood of
states represented by the constella-
ton with t~hirty-ive added members Is
firmly bound In the spirit of the
fathers still ~symbolized by the origi-
nal thirteen stripes. What internal
disorders there have been were symp-
toms fortunately manifest in time to
check the effect Of the disturbing
forces whose existence they predicat-
ed. over the land today sweeps revital-
ized loyalty and union.

flaQ Dap

ME first American flag, for
mally adopted by congress on
June IA, 1777, is said to have
been made out of a soldiers white
shirt, an old blue army overcoat
and a red flannel petticoat. It
was first hoisted by the Revolution
airy army during Burgoyne's campaign
and was first flung to the ocean breeze
by Paul Jones.
We have not advanced so far from
those humble but glorious beginnings
as to have lost the SAVIOR. The COM
bination that went into the making of
the first flag answered all require
ments. History has neglected the own
er Of the white shirt ana the old over
coat. 1t has likewise c%ourteously re-
Trained from mentioning the original
p~ossessor Of the petticoat. 1t is enough
that all were Americans.
But the vicissitudes of history have
not dimmed the luster of those first
Stars and Stripes. Rather have they
grown more glorious in the eyes of the
people over whom they float.
The ~observances of 1919, while COM
memorating the glories of the past,
must necessarily take account of the
new epoch upon which we have en-
tered. But there is no change in the
significance of the national emblem. AS
before, 1t stands for justice, freedom
and humanity. There will be no new
teachings, but a fresh conservation OF
the old.

GOMEZ" He neglected to say that Mr..
Montague Bacon, In passing a few

whispered behind his hand:

1t was a well-placed tip, for Mr..
Rushcroft had been telling the natives
for days that he knew everybody
worth knowing in New York.
Barnes was momentarily taken

the occasion.

Lyndon Rushcroft was a tall, saggy
erectness he was inclined to sag from
the shoulders down. His head, huge
and gray, appeared to be much too
ponderous for his yielding body, and
yet he carried it manfully, even the
a~trically. The lines in his dark, sea-
soned face were like burrows his nose
was large and somewhat dubious, his
mouth wide and grim. Thick, black
eyebrows shaded q pair of eyes in
which white was no longer apparent
it had given way to a permanent red.
A two-days' stubble covered his chin
and cheeks. Altogether he was a sim
gular eXemplif1cation of ones idea of
the old-time actor.

linked In one Of Barnes, Mr.. Rush
croft hesitated long enough to impress
upon Landlord Jones the Importance
of providing his distinguished friend,

that the establishment afforded. Put

What the Flag symboIlzes.

In 1777, within a few days of one
year after the declaration of independ.
ence, the congress Of the colonies in
the c~Onfederated states assembled and
ordained this glorious national flag
and advanced it full high before God
and all men as the flag of liberty.
1t was no holiday flag, ~gorgeously
emblazoned for gayety or vanity. 1t
was a solemn national signal. When
that banner first unrolled to the sun,
it was the symbol of all those holy
truths and purposes which brought to-
gether the colonial American congress !
The flag means now all that our ia
theirs meant in the Revolutionary war.
1t means all that the Declaration of
independence means. 1t can all
that the Constitution of our people
meant in organizing for justice, for
liberty, for happiness.
