What the Catholics are Doino.

The Catholics nave schools all over
the country for colored boys and
girls. The colored man is naturally
religious. There are 225 900 Catholics
and sixty churches among the colored
people. A civilization without reli-
gion cannot satisfy human heart
To be happy one needs only to do
good. too much Of anything often
means the ruin of some people
Happy IL that man who gets PLEASURE
out Of the welfare Of others as well
as his own" The lecture was a
strong plea for fairness TO the negro.

Another strong program was given
last night at the chautauQua beng
Ih4ld in the Pilgrims Rest Baptist
Church The decorations of the build,
ing were none other than the Ameri
can flag and it was massed In all
available spaces. The aim of the pro-
tmoters of the chautauqua seemed to
be that nothing should be allowed 10
detract from the flag and the plan
was worked out in admirable fashion.
The manager of the chautauqua,
Rev. j. Sterling Moore, was called
out of the city to conduct the funeral
services of lifelong friend, but he
had his plans so well laid that the
program moved off with clock-like
precision The main speaker of the
evening, Father George Giglinger. was
called to St. Louis, but he hurried
back in ample time to fill his engage
ment.
J Father Giginscr's Lecture.
! Father Giglinger's lecture was a
source of great inspiration and he
appealed to the aspiring and reason
ing class of people. He laid down
square propositions and argued that
happiness comes through work. Not
only did he l2ud and magnify the
progress the black man has made,
but he also told him of his foibles-
He drew his lecture from personal
contact with the black man and ad-
vised him to know how the peoples
Representatives stand on questions OF
equal opportunities. He said:
! Il was a student with colored men
in Rome and am not a stranger 70

streets with colo-ed students and am
glad TO Go all in my power for the
race"
/ The humorous side of his lecture
was used to emphasize the necessity

an equal chance in life He said "a

men to America to work in mines and

said. There is but one human species
and we all have one and the same

crimes and SO do white men, but the
white man should first sweep before

Tagging the Road scorchers.

A Portland man suggests a remedy for
the auto speedster that seems good
one. He would have each traffic officer
provided with rubber stamp. When a
speedster is held up his license is stamped
with the officer S number and he is
warned to comply with the law. The
speedster enters the zone of another
officer, and if hauled up there the first
officers number on his license tells of
icer No. 2 that the offender has been
once warned. The officer stamps his
number on the license and gives an
other warning. The third holdup of
Mr.. Speedster shows-by the stamped
icense-that he has twice been warned
and therefore is a persistent offender.
He is arrested, fined in court and the
regular license taken away. A special
bonded license, costing him $50 may be
secured and should be held on that
lit would seem to be proved that he is
not a fit person to drive car. He for
feits his license and ear registration
and can secure no other for at least a
year.-Kennebec Journal.

Making Good as Food Producers -
4 Many of Them Do Better Work Than

NEW YORK, July 1o.-A number of
modest little farms operated by veterans
of the world war who have recovered
from shell shock, gas or wounds, now dot
the states of New Jersey, Connecticut
and New York. The owners of these
farms, most of them graduates of the New
York State school of agriculture at Farm
ingdale, l.. L., have been ''rehabilitated'
and are now making good as food produc-
ers with the same enthusiasm that took
them ''over the top" in France.
! The transformation of most of these
| former soldiers who selected farming from
among the subjects offered by the federal
| board for vocational training in many
cases has been a complete metamorpho-
SIS of railroad brakemen, plumbers, po-
| licemen, mechanics and laborers One re-
I-cent graduate of the school was a bar
tender before the war and today he owns

According to A. A. johnson, director
of the school, there were IS federal board
| men enrolled in June and a number of
7 these have since graduated. Director
johnson was lavish in his praise of what
the soldier farmers are accomplishing, de-
claring that not only were they doing their
| full share in the economic program of
their country but Gin a good many cases,
considerably more than others less hand
icapped by wounds" He said they were
about equally divided as farm tractor me
chancs, general farmers, poultry raisers
and hog breeders.
Archie A. Stone, former member of the
Minnesota legislature, who is in charge of
the work for the government, and has
studied the results of the farm vocation

ing results Of definite and permanent
character. The students may have both
