which the efforts of the bombing raid
can be recorded at home simultane-
ously with the raid itself, which may
take place thousands of miles away.
Mr.. Price said:
THE torpedo can travel from 165
to 200 miles an hour, and ! can tell
at any moment just where It is.

GERMANS IS TO Wed.
Andy" Youngbar, Who Carries
80 Scars, Will "Brave" Altar
- Thanksgiving Day.

BALTIMORE. Sept. 20.-"Andy"
Youngbar is going to get married.
Somewhere along the restless old
Rhine there are a bunch of former
German soldiers who will be inter
ested in that announcement 1t may
tickle them to think that the little
Maryland fre-eater whom they
couldn't capture has at last been
brought in"
The raiding party Is Miss Alice
Neff. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Nen. of Brooklyn, and that term
"raiding party doesn't conceal any
attempt to make Miss Nefr out as Q
militant leap-yearist. 1t is a figure
of speech. pure and simple.
ANDY" Youngbar and Sergt John
H. Z. Hoppe, won Maryland's nrst
nght in No Man Land-two lone boys
with rifles against score Of Ger
mans. The two Maryland youths up
set all the established rules for raid
ing by going over the top of the
trench to raid the raiders.
On next Thanksgiving Day, when
Private ANDY" Youngbar is waiting
at the altar Of st. Rose of Lima
Catholic Church, in Curtis Bay. it will
be q strange thing IL he does not
cogitate upon the human intricacies
that make raving lion Of a man in
the face of death and starts his
knees to shaking in the face OF
''Mendelssohn's Wedding March"
Incidentally, Miss NeT's fiance will
be a decorated husband. because he
has owned the Distinguished Service
Cross and the Croix de Guerre ever
since that little party in Alsace-Lor-
raine. And probably he will be the
most wounded" husband In the
United States, for the German gren-
ades they threw at him that morning
left thirty-two wounds on him. and
he will carry the scars to his grave.

st. Gabriel DeIPAddoiorata.

Gabriel PosSenti, a Passionist stu
dent, was born at Assist, Italy, March
1, 1888 Baptized on the day of his
birth he was called Francesca, the
name by which he was known before
entering religion. He was educated at
the Christian Brothers school and at
the Jesuit College at Spoleto. In 1856
he was clothed with the PasSiOniSt
habit and received the name of Ga
briele dell'Addolorata He was gifted
with great talent and with a wonder
full memory. During his religious life
he was distinguished in a high degree
for his exact observance of the rule
spirit of prayer, and his fervent devO-
tiOn to the Passion of our Lord, to the
Holy Eucharist and to the Sorrows of
the Blessed Virgin.
On February q, 1862, in the sixth
year of his religious life, Gabriel died
of consumption. His death was holy
and edifying and he was buried in the
church attached to the retreat at Isola
de Gran Sasso, where his remains are
still entombed Since his death nu-
merOus miracles have been wrought
and countless conversions effected
through his intercession.
During his life little was known of
GabriePs extraordinary spiritual gifts.
He was recognized as a fervent and
exemplary young religious. A few
years after his death, by reason of the
great prodigies which he wrought, he
was declared Venerable. By special
privilege of the Supreme Pontiff he
was solemnly beatified on May 81,
1908, less than fifty years after his
death.
1t was the expressed wish of Leo
XIII and Plus X that he be regarded
as the chief patron of the youth OF
today, and especially as the patron OF
young religious.

TO HELP MOTHERS
PENSION LAWS PASSED IN MANY
STATES AND TERRITORIES TO
HELP MOTHERS LEFT WITH
CHILDREN.

Thirty-nine States, Alaska and
Hawaii, now have some public provi-
sion for mothers left with young chill
dren to support, and in at least five
of the remaining states, there is provi-
sion made for a monthly sum for each
child under a certain age. This is ac.
cOrding to a bulletin entitled, Laws
Relating to Mothers Pensions" Just
issued by the Children's Bureau OF
the United States Department of
Labor.
Canada, Denmark and New Zealand
also have passed legislation providing
aid for mothers. Generally speaking,
all mothers pension laws provide for
the payment of stated weekly or
monthly sum for each child under a
certain age to mothers who are de-
pendent on their own efforts to sup.
port their children, and are morally
and physically fit persons to bring up
their children. There is considerable
variation in the laws in force in diff
ferent states. Some states provide
pensions, only for widowed mothers
others include women deserted by
their husbands, or those whose hus-
bands are in prison, in state asylums
or who are otherwise incapacitated.

JOAN OF ARC

Still, they say, she moves through the
oIdtime places,
Joan, the Maid, with her great
sword grt at her side;
Sheen of wings and simmer of angel
faces
Gather around her as she on hiqh
doth ride!
Rheims or Orleans may see her thus
in splendor,
Never the old Domremy streets she
knew,
Here she walks as maiden, shy and
slender,
Brushing with bare, brown feet the
evening dew!
Oft do the children, playing in the
meadows,
See her watching them, white and
very fair,
Smiling lips and eyes that dream in
the shadows,
Lilies of France she loved so, in her
hair.
So she comes, through those quiet
roadWays stealing,
Where in the gray church still her
people bend,
Unto the Maiden, their own Saint ap-
peaIing;
Hears them name her savior of
France and friend.
She has forgotten now the English
faces,
Prison and wounds and torture of
the flame;
Still, they say, she moves through the
old-time places,
Joan the Maid, whence once, long
since, she came.
