Readiness To Oblige Coin
In Treasury of Happiness

Readiness to oblige is the small
coin in the treasury Of happiness,
and it is within the reach Of the
poorest amongst us. 1t is the cheer
full compliance with which one
grants a request, receives a visit, or
puts up with an annoyance. 1t is
the amiability of expression, the
pleasant smile which is so univer-
sally attractive. 1t is a trifling
service promptly and gladly rem
dered, or perhaps requested with
unassuming simplicity. Sometimes
it is thanks gracefully paid, or a
cordial word Of encouragement to a
disheartened fellow-laborer. All
these appear small matters, but do
not on that account neglect them.
God will repay you for them
abundantly.

Treatment Of the Other
Fellow On the Road

First, assume that you must look
out for yourself and the other fel-
low too. Don't rely wholly on the
other fellow doing the right thing,
and you'll be ON your guard if he
does the wrong thing and ready for
the emergency.
Never back or swing from the
curb into the street without looking
back to see'if the way is clear.
Glance both ways on each cross
street, and if you re not on the
main thoroughfare slow down be-
fore you cross. It's safest to drive
slowly enough to have the car well
under control where buildings hide
the intersecting streets.
Do not cut the corners in turn
ing, but keep well to your side of
the street and look both ways be-
fore you make the turn.
Put out a hand as a guide to the
car following or approaching.
In passing a slower moving We
hicle pass it on your left.
Do not follow another vehicle
too closely. 1t might stop suddenly
Stop when the street car ahead OF
you stops and stand still till all
passengers getting off are out of the
street. This is required by ordin
ance.
Dim your lights when approach
ing another auto on the road.
Use common sense at all time:
and you II save trouble for yourself
and the other fellow.

The signature of the cross-a
mark in the form Of a cross used by
persons who are unable to write
was, in ancient times, not confined
to illiterate persons as it is today.
Among the Saxons the mark was an
attestation Of good faith of the per-
son signing, and was required to be
in place of the signature Of those
who could write, as well as to stand
in place fthe signature Of those
who could not write. The ancient
use Of the cross was univeral and
was the symbol Of an oath from its
holy associations.

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON BOYS.


An editor recently met Cardinal Glib.
bons and wishing his boys to profit
by his interview he asked him:
What qualities, your Eminence, do
you consider most desirable in boy !?
What qualities show him to have real
promise for the future?"
This is the answer of Americas be-
loved churchman:
"Faithfulness, plodding, persever-
ance, persistence in doing whatever
is set for him to do. These things
will gain him access where genius
would fail-unless it is that sort of
genius which Is nothing more than
infinite hard work. That is the best
genius-hard, steady, careful work. It
is the real genius.
II wish every boy could understand
that. wish every boy could know
that success does not mean fame or
wealth, or that the world should set
to talking about you. wish every
boy could know, and believe, that the
way to success is by plodding effort.
One plodding, hard working, faithful
boy is worth to the world much more
than the boy with flashes of genius.
The boy who will plod, plod, plod,
who will concentrate his effort, is on
the surest road to success"

BOY DEFINES OATH.
Catholic Youth Wins Praise From
Court for His Definition.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 11.-Prompt
and correct definition of an oath given
by one of two young Catholic boys
who were witnesses in the surrogate's
court here brought them praise from
Judge Hart after they had finished
their testimony.
What is an OATH" inquired Surro-
gate Hart Of Michael Meyer, one OF
the boys.
Without moments hesitation
young Meyer replied:
IAN oath, Judge, is the calling upon
Almighty God to witness the truth of
what you are saying"
Where did you get that definition
Of an oath?" Judge Hart asked.
From our catechism," answered
Michael
well, that's a mighty good deflni-
ton Of an OATH" said the Judge.

THE NIGHT SCHOOL.

One of the biggest possible contri-
buttons to the nations future is being
made by the knights Of Columbus. At
the rate of one day, they are open
ing free night schools for ex.service
men, regardless Of color or creed, in
the large cities of the United States.
Upward Of 100000 men are already
enrolled, and by June, the organiza-
tion estimates, the total will reach
25O,000.
Textbooks and supplies of all kinds
are furnished free. Every man who
served with the colors is invited to
attend. Expenses are paid from the
fund which the Knights Of Columbus
had on hand for welfare work when
the war ended suddenly.
Abraham Lincoln studied by the
light of fireplace; President Andrew
Johnson was taught to read and write
by his wife; Governor John A. John
son of Minnesota left school at Is to
support 5his mother. but he, like so
many others, made good use of his
evenings, after his days work was
finished.
The Knights of Columbus schools,
the free night schools operated by
many cities, and the public Libraries

To Increase chaplains.
The question of the Chaplain's
Corps under the army reorganization
bill. now under consideration by the
senate, will probably not be finally
adjusted until the measure has been
agreed upon in conference. The sen
ate and house have been considering
separate bills on the subject of chap
lains in the army. In general provi
sions they are the same. but the sen
ate bill is the more liberal of the
two and its provisions will probably
be largely Incorporated in the army
reorganization bill. In any event a
proportionate increase in the number
of chaplains in the army is in pros
pect. Both the house and senate

agreed that there shall be one chap

Madrid, April 15.-The Cardinal
Archbishop Of Toledo, Cardinal Guis-
asola, to whom the Holy Father has
confided the duty Of watching and d.
recting the growing Christian Social
movement in Spain, has issued an in
teresting pastoral letter on the sub
ject of Christian democracy.
He says democracy advances every
day, and the immediate consequence
is considerable increase in the po-
litical power Of the proletariat and
their more active participation in the
development of riches. Catholics, as
such, have no reason to resist such
movement. The letter goes on to
admonish those who would SOW divi-
sion in the Catholic ranks, and this is
taken as rebuke to the enemies Of
the Christian Democratic Party, which
is known to have the Cardinals ap.
proval.
The president of the group has re-.
ceived an unofficial letter of encour.

says the Catholic Telegrap.
It was commonly accepted that the
great missionary Who brought the
Irish nation into that spiritual ale

cution of Protestant England during
the last four centuries, was . priest

Within the past two decades, how

bolder and less informed than the gen
eral run of his kind, breaks loose with
tongue and pen in foelhardy attempt
to convert the Patron Saint of Erin
into q Protestant.
Glory be! What a terrible job! And
yet it was only yesterday that The
Herald and Presbyter. the Presbyter>
ian organ published in Cincinnati, car
ried an editorial on "St. Patrick of Ire
land" which contains this statement:
In every essential he (St. Patrickl
was Protestant, as genuinely so as
the Apostle Paul was, or Martin Lu-
ther, or John KNOX,
st. Patrick died thousand years be-
fore Protestantism was ever heard
OF, and, since st. Paul has been in
Heaven, about four centuries before
Ireland's Patron began the conversion
of the Irish people, it is undoubtedly
true that one was just as much of
Protestant as the other-both were as
much Protestant as is Pope Benedict
+; and to mention them in the same
