Thomas a kempis.

"Here in the service of the Lord
Thomas a Kempis lived and wrote
The Imitation of Christi" are the
words that appear on the foot of
the monument to the author recently
erected at Zwolle. In a gentle spot,
surrounded by ancient oaks and frs,
and with shrubbery around, this mon
ument stands on a hill which was
presented for the purpose by the van
Royen family. The monument is in
the shape of cross with the mono
gram Of Christ and the symbols of the
four eyangelists. The inscription on
the main part is I'm Cruce Calus."
Many subscriptions were received for
the monument as soon as the plan was
suggested in 1915. Queen Whitening
was among those who gave.

Breeding Makes No Difference,

1t has been claimed by lovers of do
nestle cats that highly bred members
of the species do not engage in hunt
ing insectiyorous and song birds. A
few days ago city gardener captured
handsome cat in the act of killing a
young robin which had just left it's
nest near his house. He did not kill
the bird hunter, under the authority
recently granted by the Conservation
Commission, but took the animal and
it's victim to the home of the cats
owner. There he learned that the cat
was highly priced ribbon-taker; and
the owner was indignant at it's cap

MANIFOLD USES OF THE OK

OF all our domestic animals the OK
Is certainly the most useful, writes
Henri Fabre in Our Humble Helpers.
During it's lifetime it draws the cart
in mountainous regions and works at
the pillow in the til1age of the fields;
furthermore, the COW furnishes milk
in abundance. Given over to the
butcher, the animal becomes source
Of manifold products, each part of it's
body having a value Of its own. The
flesh is highly nutritious; the skin is
made into leather for harness and
shoes; the hair furnishes stufing for
saddles; the tallow serves for making
candles and soap; the bones, half cal
cined, give kind of charcoal or bone

sugar and making it perfectly white !;

bones go to the turner's shop, where
they are manufactured into buttons

Will Perfect Organization For Ac-

And Clubs Line Up.

More than 100000 members of
labor and other organizations were
represented yesterday afternoon at
the weekly meeting of the Maryland
Branch of the AUTHORIZATION Lea
que, when 463 delegates and repre-
sentatives convened at Moose Hall
for the purpose of performing orga-
niZation and formulating plans for
effective and immediate action.
A unique phase of the Leagues at
tendance was the fact that though
many said they do not drink, they
resent strongly the idea of being de-
prived of any personal liberties. ="
Several fiery speeches of indignation
were made, stressing the action of
members of Legislature who have
been traitor" to the people who
elected them. The speakers also in
dorsed the adoption of the 'initia-
tive, referendum and recall" as an
amendment to the Constitution, as

Despite the fact that the vets

few years later the men we elected
to represent us in the Legislature
cast their votes for the ratification
of the National Prohibition Amend
ment. The people of Baltimore have
no say in the question, and those
who were elected to voice the senti-
ments of the people voted counter
to popular wishes.
Our soldiers who have gone g.
900 miles to fight for the liberties of
"a great democracy also have express
I'd their indignation. France has

To the Relatives Of
Soldiers and Sailors

Your relatives serving with the
colors will soon be back in civil life.
They may be at home now. For
your protection, and for their own,
they undoubtedly have taken out in
surance with the United States Gov
eminent
You should impress UPON your
relatives in the service the vital i'm
portance of keeping their insurance
with the United States Government.
Write to them without delay-or tell
them personally, if you can-that
they may retain insurance with the
United States Government even after
they leave the military service.
: The privilege of continuing their
Government insurance is a valuable
right given to soldiers and sailors as
part of the compensation for their
heroic and loyal service. If the SOL
der or sailor permits his insurance
to lapse, he loses that right, and he
never will be able to regain 1t.
:: But if he keeps up his present in
surance-by the regular payment OF
the monthly premiums will be
able to change it later into stand
ard Government policy without medi-
cal examination. Meantime, he can
keep up his present insurance at sub
stantially the same low rate. The
Government will write ordinary life
insurance, Repayment life, endow
ment maturing at age 62, and other
usual forms of insurance. This will
be Government insurance, at Govern
ment rates.

mittee this week. He said he felt
that it was in accord with the views
of the local branch of the Federation
of Labor. 1t is understood that the
action of the labor committee IN
sending Mr. Giles to- the meeting
was in anticipation of giving the lea
que the support of that labor body.
The local branch of the Bridge and
Structural Ironworkers is in accord
with the aims of the league, it was
announced by Matthew ]. Cummings,
it's president. He declared the orga-
nization was fatty against prohlbl-
ton, and that it would make every
effort to retain it's personal iber-
ties" All the representatives of the
labor men of the city, who were pres
ent. informed the meeting that plans
| for nationwide demonstration
against prohibition are now being
discussed and formulated, and that
| it promises to be one of the broadest
of it's kind ever staged.
That prohibition would affect
greatly the clubs of the city was en-
phasized by c.. Frank MARYLAND pres
ident of the United Social Clubs OF
Baltimore, which embraces 27 social
organizations of total membership
of more than 5000 men. He asser-
! ted that the United Social Club was
in accord with the views and aims of
the Maryland AUTHORIZATION Lea
| que and would lend its support.
Numerous other fraternal and so
cial organizations were represented
at the meeting, including the Moose,
the Elks and the Odd Fellows. All
expressed themselves as being con-
vinced that the Maryland branch OF
the Anti-prohibition League was in
policy and aims in line with the de-
sires of their organizations. Justice
Joseph l.. Ranft, Justice John G.
Tormollen and Anthony Dimarco,
secretary, also spoke. Judge Klecka
introduced the speakers. All the
meetings since the birth of the lea
que have been devoted to the work of
organization. The next meeting is
to be held next Sunday afternoon, at
