The coal miners in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky are dig ging in their gardens, too, and help ing to feed themselves with the food they raise there. The Consolidation Coal Company Of Fairmont, w. Va, with plants in that State, also in Pennsylvania and Kentucky, has re ported that most of the 5000 men in it's employ are interested in garden ing. The company has informed the National War Garden Commission Of Washington that it is doing all 1t can to encourage and assist the workers in this helpful and worthy undertak- ing. Garden instruction books from the commission have been forwarded and distributed among the miners at various points.
 This work by the Consolidation Coal Company is but a sample of the way in which hundreds of industrial and manufacturing concerns through out the United States are aiding their men in home food production. No other phase of the War Garden Commissions work has been produc- tive of greater results and of more permanent benefit than the stimulus to factory gardening. The Commits sion has received numerous reports testifying as to the value of this work, even reports stating that work men had refused to leave a city to accept work at higher wages else where because they had planted gar dens and would not leave them

Auxiliary Plans
 Annual BanQuet

The Mems Fraternal Auxiliary is less than a year old, and yet that body is planning its first annual ban quet for Tuesday evening, May 6. This promises to be one of the biggest so- cial functions of the year. No pains have been spared in it's preparation and the large number engaged in the work is unusual. The Apollo Octette of this city, will feature in the enter tainment section, and the Rev. Will liam J. Thompson, D. D., professor of Religious Psychology and Pedago- gy at Drew Theological Seminary, Madison, N. J., will deliver the prin- cipal address on Christianity and the League of Nations" The local orchestra will also provide instru-. mental music. It is never known just what a. toastmaster will do but one may reasonably guess that from the prominent men who are leaders in public affairs and who are expected to be in attendance, he will provoke some good speeches.
 Soon after the mems banquet is over the EpWorth League will give really royal Welcome Home to our returned men from the service.

0STRANpER WILL LECTURE. HERE

From the Adriatic to the Golden Horn" is H. c. Ostrander's theme Sunday night at the Church of the Redeemer. MT. Ostrander will discuss the Italian situation, showing Plume and why the Italians desire it, show ing the lands of the Adriatic and the new republics which contend with 1taIy' and taking his hearers with nm all the way to the Golden Horn and the city of Constantinople.
 Ostrander stands pre-eminently for gorgeous pictures and clear intelIigi- Die narrative, and his lectures are all ways attended by crowds. This is the closing lecture of the season and marks the end of the fourth winter Of these Cheerful Sunday Evenings at this church.
 Ostrander will not only discuss the Italian crisis and show the lands in volved, but will pass on to what is to become a later issue at Paris, the future of the Turk. He will discuss the probable end of the Ottoman Elm plre and the last sickness of the Sick Man of Europe.
 This whole country from the Adri- at1c Sea to the Golden Horn is the seat Of past wars and unless rightly settled this time will be the source or future wars. No lecture could be more timely and fascinating than this Seats arc free, silver offering is ex- pected, doors open at 6:3O.
 At the 1O:45 service Rev. William Wallace Rose will preach upon the theme, The Dusty Road of Peace" He will ask what we can find to con- serve and use the enthusiasm of the stirring moments of war, so as not to lose the invaluable vigor and vision of the war day in as we trudge the dusty road of peace. Need it be a dull and uninspiring road after all?

CATHOLIC CHURCH
 NOTES OF LOCAL INTEREST

Contributed by P. J. Brennan.)
 The first public mass was celebrated in this city in a building on Middle street, near the corner of Wall street. in the year 1896.
 Many years afterward St. James brick church was built in the south east corner of Washington avenue and Arch street, and by a singular coin ctdence the Knights of Columbus have located their home in the same block. This was the first Catholic church in Bridgeport.
 St. Augustine's replaced the old St. James and was the first large Catholic church built here. It has been called the Cathedral by many up to the present time, particularly by strangers.
 A mission chapel was next located in East Bridgeport on the site where old St. Mary's was afterwards built, at the junction of Crescent avenue and Church street.
 After the building of the wooden church of St. Mary's a mission was located in Milford and priests from St. Mary's were placed in charge.
 St. Joseph's German Catholic church was built on Madison avenue after the congregation had attended mass for a time in the old Lyceum hall in Wheeler's block on Main street.
 Years ago 1t was a common prac- tice for the hired man and the serv- ant girl from Stratford, Fairfield and Newtown to assist at mass in the old St. James and in St. Augustines' churches. Some, when they were refused a holiday at Christmas, would n 1,oiy- fha+ would get a new job, but not a, new religion, which was true Irish spirit.
 When the Sacred Heart parish was separated from St. Augusttne's the first mass was celebrated in Hawes' opera house, now the Plaza, on Fair field avenue.
 In the past thtrty-five years IT churches, 12 convents and II schools have been built by Catholics for all nationalities, and at the present time new convents and schools are being built in all parts of the city. In the. early times the children were led to believe that priests had horns and Irishmen were wild. These ideas have ceased to be common and the children who believed in them have been converted to the Catholic religion.
 This city is blessed with one per manent pastor, sixteen pastors, and thirteen assistants, who are indefatig- ! able in their duties day and night, and in case of fires or accidents one is invariably present to assist the un- fortunate, if necessary.
 ''The Catholic Church is the most powerful organization on earth,'' said a. socialist; and judging by the rapid icrease in membership, despite the prosecutions, and lost spirit in many, it is true.
 The many handsome churches, and the numerous charitable institutions and organizations that alleviate the sufferings of old and young, support | ed by the voluntary contributions of | all true Catholics tend to prove that | the speaker was right.

A BIT CROWDED.

The housing problem is acute. Chats news, isn't it?) A crowd of suburbanftes had clubbed together and bought a big house so that they could have a roof over them.
 The man who carried out the house-buying and the apportioning of it's space was evidently out to make money. When the setting in began he was visited by a protesting crowd.
 Look here," said the spokesman of the party, Its bad enough to have one room curtained off into four for four families. Though we didn't ex- pect that, we can stand it, but you're not going to give permission to the family in the corner near the door to keep Lodgers!"

They'd been married some little time. Wife sighed.
 T saw the 1oveliest lace curtains today!" she rnurmured. ''I did want them so badly!" she sighed again. But I knew you wished to econo- mize, dear;' she concluded, ''so I didn't get thanl.'
 Then he spoke.
 That's too, bad, my dear!' he said generously.
