Workers Need Real
 Practical Christianity

"The average minister said John son, "dces not know how people live nor the conditions under which they work. Some have told me that peo- pie like to live fntenements. Others that people like ito work in steel mills. asked one man to go down and work in the stee! mills but he would not. They claim everyone is vel come in the churches. This is not so. If it were true that 50,600,O00 who are non -chdrch goers in this country would all be found in church.
 What we need today is practical Christianity. The ministerial work of the present day is not practical, it is not of the sort that the workingman needs. It is my aim to give him a real honest, practical Christianity that will be of actual service to him. MT. Johnson was in charge of what is known as the Neighborhood House in Lynn and spent four years over seas with a Canadia-7' razirraA.at

UNION FACTORIES
 ARE READY TO 6 FIGHT PROFITEER

New York, July 19.-Profiteering in the women's garment industry will be fought with union owned shops, fac. tories and stores by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union.
 This became known here today when officials of the union announced that it has a committee at work laying the foundation for the first group of union owned factories, which are expected to be in opera ton by next Spring.
 These factories are to be esta ablish ed according to Benjamin Schlesinger, in- ternational president, to dem onstrate that the workers can be paid first class wages, work less hours and enjoy bet ter working conditions than they are now getting and reap a ''reasona b1e profit from their products and still sell it considerable under the regular market price.

 The first group of six factories will be established in New York, together with a number of union stores, union officials said. Others vii be located in Chicago and Philadelphia.
 Ample funds for the factories have been provided by the International union, MT. S ch1esinger said, and later
 
 and factory assessments' will be lev jed to finance the project until it is put on a paying basis.
 we expect to be turning out medi- um and high price garments for the Spring trade,'' A. Baroff, secretary of the union said. ''The first factories will probably employ about 1000 workers to be selected by the union." They will pay higher wages than are paid by employers in ths garment in- dustry and a seven-hour work day will be in effect, he added. The workers now work an eight-hour day with a half ho1iady on Saturday. The local unions of the Ladies Gar ment workers, according to MT. Baroff are also taking steps on their own in- itiative to defeat the high cost of liv- ing by esta ab1ishing cooperative restau- rants and stores.

Cork InTerrOr As Bombs And
 Bullets Fly
Two Lorries Blown Up By Bombs Early This Morn ing After a Day and Night of Shooting - Casualties Over 100.

Cork, July 1.-Two military 1orries loaded with soldiers which passed through the streets of Cork at three o'clock this morning were attacked by civilians with bombs and blown up. Between 50 and 70 soldiers were injured. The civilians threw 29 bombs. This attack followed night of ter TOT into which the city was plunged as a result of street fighting in which Sim Feiners and the military partic- ipated. Two men were killed and some forty were wounded in the gum fighting, which brought the total of casualties well over-tf1e 100 mark.
 The Sim Feiners used the guerilla tactics which had been outlined in the plan of campaign.
 This city was in state of terror last night as result of street fighting which started after a bayonetting incident in the street in which a former soldier was killed. About 10 p. m.. indiscriminate firing started in virtually all sections of the city. The casualties reported today were one dead and fl wounded. The firing. which was participated in, it is stated, by military patrols in motor lorries and armored ca1S, caused con- sternation. Frightened women and children hurried into side streets and doorways and knocked frantically at numerous houses for admission. Vol- unteer patrols hurried to their assist ance but several young girls and former soldiers already had been hit by flying bullets and were taken to the hospital.
 The trouble started when reports were received that John Burke, a former soldier, had been killed by the military in Belfast.
 He was employed in local chemi- cal works. On the wall above the spot where he died the following was written:
 "R. I. P. Killed by the military of the Stafford regiment
 The excitement was increased when IA armed men forced their way into the Cork Country club and killed Commission Smyth of the Royal Irish Constabulary, a ne-armed veteran who was credited with having order ed the police in Ireland not to be afraid to shoot with effect.
 On entering the smoking room of the club one. of the assassins said to the victim:
 Were not your orders to shoot at, sight? Well you are i1 sight. So pre- pare"
 Whereupon three shots were fired.
 The rush or civilians from the principal streets was followed by the volunteers, who warned the people to lie down while the volunteer, guards watched the movements of the arm pred cars.
 Most of the casualties occurred iii the northern part of the city where the infirmary staff dealt with the most serious cases, retaining the worst and sending the other wound ed home after giving them treat ment-
 After midnight the streets were comparatively quiet, with the military patrolling them There was occasion al firing up till 2 o'clock this morn Ing, however, the patrols once in < vrhilA Ia+ti1a> ga a va1lax.

WHAT IS BEST
 FOR HORSES IN
 WARM WEATHER

The following hot-weat1er rules for horses are suggested by the Boston Work Horse Relief Association.
 Load lightly, and drive slowly.
 Stop in the shade if possible.
 A sponge on the top of the head, or even a cloth, is good if kept wet. If dry it is worse than nothing.
 Water your horse often as pos sible.' So long as horse is working, water in small quantities will not hurt him. But let him drink only a few swallows if he is going to stand still
 When he comes in after work. sponge off the harness marks and sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth. and the dock. Wash his feet but not his legs.
 If the thermometer is 75 degrees or higher, wipe him all over with a damp sponge, using vinegar water if possible. Do not wash the horse at night.
 Saturday night, give a bran mash. lukewarm; and add tablespoonful of sa1tpetre.
 Watch your horse. If he stops sweating suddenly, or if lie breathes short and quick, or if hIs ears droop, or if he stands with his legs braced sideways, he is in danger of a heat or sun stroke and needs attention at once.
 If the horse is overcome by heat, get him in the shade, remove harness and brid1e, wash out his mouth, sponge him all over, shower his legs, and give him two ounces of aromatic spirits of ammonia, two ounces of sweet spirits of nitre, in pint of water; or give him a pint of coffee warm. Cool his head at once, using cold water, or, if necessary, chopped ice, wrapped in a cloth.
 If the horse is off his feed try him with two quarts of oats mixed with bran, and a little water; and add little salt or sugar. Or give him oat- meal gruel or barley water 10 Grink-
 Clean your horse at night, so that he can rest well, and clean him thoroughly. The salt dandruff drying on his skin makes him uncomfortable, and often produces sores under the harness.
 Do not fail to water him at night after he has eaten his hay If you don't he will be thirsty all night.
 If it is so hot that the horse swea ts in the stable at night, tie him outside, with bedding under him. Unless he cools off during the night, he can not well stand the next days heat.

half and held Ashland TO but five
baskets in addition to netting another
basket to their credit. The final
