THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR
DOGS IN MANY PROVERBS.

AS one traces the proverbial com
ments on dogs through the concen-
trated wisdom of the centuries their
similarity is most impressive. For
example, the Latins told one another
to Beware of a silent dog and still
waters" concluded that Dumb dogs
and still waters are dangerous" and
characterized an insidious traducer as
"A dog that bites silently"
=. The Russians, who were only slight
ly influenced by the Latin races, say
that Dogs bark and the wind carries
it away" but the French. Spaniards,
Germans and English, who have in
herited more than they wish to ac-
knowledge from ancient Rome, all
agree that barking dogs do not bite, !"
and we have also in English the warn
ing ''to have a care for a silent dog
and still water" which is clearly a
free translation of the Latin original.
The French tell us that there are
good dogs Of all Sizes" but this has
not prevented them from discovering
that there are dog haters who will stop
at no villainy to satisfy their grudge.
Thus "a man who wants to drown his
dog says it is mad" France is so near
England that this saying crossed the
Channel and became acclimated in
spite of the fondness of nation of
animal lovers for one of their best
friends.
But the saying did not originate in
France. 1t goes back to the Romans,
who. saw that "Whoso is desirous of
beating dog will readily find a stick
The italians inherited it from the
Romans. When it got to Denmark it
took this form: "He who wants to
hang a dog is sure to find rope" or
. TO say that the dog bites the sheep"

CATHOLICS HAVE NEVER BEEN
ASKED TO DO SUCH BIG@
THINGS.

Protestant churchmen always seek
phase of church work. In this way
they receive large donations and many
substantial sums by bequest, says the
Sunday Visitor. Wealthy Catholics
don't want to become conspicuous
church workers, and it is very rare
to see them leave handsome bequest
in favor of Catholic education, the
missions, the seminary, the orphans
or even the parish church from which
they received all the religion they
ever had.
Eight denominations started in 1915
to raise $62,000,000 as an endowment
to pension aged and disabled clergy
men and for widows. and orphans -oi
the clergy. The eight denominations
combined have a smaller membership
in this country than the Catholic
church. =
Protestants of the United States
with only one-half more membership
support 100000 ministers as agains
10000 priests sustained by Catholics
If we credited Catholic and Protestan
clergymen alike with an allowance O
$1,000 each, the contrast would b'
S19,000,000 for the support of the for
mer against $150,000,000 for that o
the latter. We are not taking int
account the several thousand mem
bers of religious orders who receive
no regular allowance, nor the severa
thousand assistant pastors who re
ceive less than $500,
The 24,000,Oo0 Protestants in the
United States contribute several times
as much for the support of Missions

MOTHER AND CHILD.

Another tribute to the translation
of Christmas dogma into daily life
comes from the uncovenanted pen OF
non-Catholic man of science. Peo-
Dle who talk about dogma as If 1t
were something separate from con-
duct, something which has no rela.
ton to home life, may learn their
further lesson of the humanizing
effect of this doctrine of the 1ncarna
tion here and now. In an article
headed "Mother-end-Child Worship,
the medical correspondent of the Oh
server declares that "Mother-and
child worship is the tap-root of the
religion of life. Life has decreed that
her crOwning race shall be reborn
from generation to generation as the
most helpless, and at the greatest
cost to it's mothers. And that is the
real meaning of Christmas. Protes
tantism is the poorer, in that it has
very nearly lost the element OF
mother-and-child worship, which we
| see in older forms of Christianity
Only Christmas week remains to re
mind us of that which His sacred
symbols teach the Roman or Greek
Catholic all the year round"
That is the witness Of the Biologist
And he goes on to give an illustration
of which Roman Catholics of the
West of Ireland" hardly themselves
aware of it, may we'll be proud:
whilst in Bradford, with the max
imum of everything required for in
fancy Except one thing, we have a
| birth-rate Of about IS, and an infant
mortality of about 135; in Roscommon
and other parts Of Connaught, we
find (standardized) birth-rate of about
45 or so, and an infant mortality of
about 35. In short, only in Connaught
with a few local exceptions else
where) is our race in healthy con
dition in these islands. In Bradford
there are scarcely any homes. The
| mothers go out to work, and breast
feeding is a curiosity. In Connaught
the babies, destitute of all modern
advantages, have one ancient, natural
divine invention, and they live.
And, showing how the perversion
Of Christmas into mere orgy OF
physical feasting may work out mis-
cry: "It was known, to the few who
care about babies and the race, be
| fore the war, that everything or suffo
cation of babies by drunken mothers
| in bed was nearly twice as frequent
| on Saturday nights as on others, anc
| that Christmas week was always the
deadliest in the year. Our moder1

| deadly than other nights, and th'

| With the return of peace" condi
| tions, not, indeed, the seasons Peace
to men and women of good will, th'
old evil resumes it's thrall: "Thi!
| Christmas will be found, when the
| figures are available, to be, predict

the most deadly to babies since 191;
and 1914" In Ireland, he might have

But that's exactly what it cost Z. L. |

San francisco including many side
trips en- route.
Mr.. Dafoes trip marks an unusual
record in cross continental driving In
Guiding side trips Mr.. Dafoe and his
party covered 1904 miles between Flint,
Mich and San Francisco. Despite a
heavily loaded car the Willys-KnightI
made the trip on exactly 155 gallons of
gasoline. The car used only nine quarts
of OIL
This trans-continent trip, over all
kinds of roads and in all kinds of
weather. brought forth mark with the
WHY'S Knight of only a fraction under
20 miles to every gallon of fuel used
and an-average Of about 1870 miles to
the gallon of OIL The total expense for
gasoline and oil was $65.15.

remarkable two other phases of the

OUer Railroad Ties
Paige Climbs Peak

The new Paige 500" seven passen-
ger stock model touring car. with
Ralph Milford at the wheel, recently
climbed Pixies Peak. using the cog
railroad as it's route. a feat that had
never before been accomplished by an
automobile and which had been pre-
sumed to be impossible.
The extraordinary difficulties of the
climb lie in the fact that the car was
not only obliged to run on the ties
and over rrestles, cattle guards, cog
switches and rocks, but was forced
as we'll to conquer a grade that in
some sections mounted as high as 25
per cent. The climb is declared to be
the highest, steepest and most diff
cult ever made by an automobile; and
because of it's character it is believed
by the Paige designers to demonstrate
the cars power and stamina in a man
ner so dramatic as TO arrest the at
tention of the motor world. No other
cog road in the world is half so high
and no other vehicle, except a speci-
ally built Baldwin cog locomotive, had
ever mounted this road. Even Son
OLA Gun Hill, nearly a two mile
stretch OF 25 per cent grade, was made
with ease.
The distance covered was nine miles
and the start was made from Manitou
at an altitude of 6,400 feet. AS the
altitude at the top is 14.109 feet, the
Paige had to climb nearly 900 feet q
mile. with an average grade of 16 PEI
cent. At no point in the nine-mile
climb is the grade less than IA pei
cent. Four of the nine miles are q
per rent; three and ne-eighth be-
tween 20 to 25 per cent. The longes
pull of % per cent grade Is a mile
and quarters at 10000 feet.
Added TO the difficulties was the de
creasing depression as the altitude
mounted to $4,000 feet. The hardes
stretch is the last half mile Of rs t
20 per cent grade at $4,000 feet. A
several stops were made to take NOV
ing pictures and "still' photographs
no attempt was made to take the time
In addition to the stops for picture
the Paige was obliged to wait three
quarters of an hour because Of brea
down of the cog locomotive which ha
just preceded It. .s..
No accidents of any kind were sui
fered by the car. Some of the grade
were travelled in intermediate at
speed of 10 miles an hour. On II
steepest grades the car mounted at
rate Of six miles an hour in low. N
over q gallon and half of water w;
used on the trip. Among the poin
passed enroute were Little Cnlet lrs
Springs, He'll Gate, Grand Pass, Lion
Gulch. Timberline. Windypoint, Sol
of-a-Gun Hill, Bottomless Pit al
Abyss OF Desolation. AS many
eight persons were carried up some
the grades
T. b. Wilson, printer Of the Pix
Peak Review, whose shop is at [
top, was the most astonished man
the world when he say the car a
proach his office.
Il have lived on this peak for
years. he said, land I'll certainly a
init that this is the first time / ev
saw an automobile way up here.
The Paige descended by way Of t
auto highway, thus being the first
TO make the Pixies Peak round trip.

VOTE SATURDAY
.VICE-PRESIDENT
According to the Opinion
of Chairman Lodge Of
the Convention
MANY CANDIDATES
FOR NOMINATION
Leaders Are Disposed to
Let Matter Rest Until
Big Issue Is Settled

Chicago, June ll.--Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, chairman of the Republi.
can convention, does not expect that
the presidential nominee would be Sc
lected in time to permit balloting on
the vice presidency before Saturday.
There are almost as many vice -presi-
dental booms as there are presiden-
tial candidates but they have received
only passing attention in convention
circles thus far.
The question of nominating a candi.
date for vice president is interviewer
with the result of the presidential
race, Political consideration based on
the part of the country from which the
two candidates hail from and the
party's strength; therein always infu-
ences vice presidential selection.
As a rule IL has been the custom of
all parties to pick man for the
strength he would add to the ticket
at crucial point, so leaders general
ly were not inclined to attempt TO
cross the vice presidential bridge until
they came to it and knew what river
they wanted to cross.
