(Timothy J. Hea1y, International
President of the Brotherhood of Sta
tionary Firemen, and fraternal dele
gate from the American Federation
of Labor to the British Trades
Union Congress, returned Sunday on
the steamer Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria. He brought back a graphic
description of conditions in Ireland
as he saw them. His original plan
to land at Queenstown was upset by
the British order preventing pas
senger vessels from calling at that
port. He was forced to remain on
the vessel until she reached Liver
pool, where he took a steamer to
Dublin. He got his first taste of
militarism when he reached Linn
erick.)
(By Timothy HeaIy.)
My first visit to Ireland lasted
twelve days, most of whcih time
stayed In Limerick and surrounding
country.
In Limerick learned that during
the week preceding August 10,
which is a great Catholic holy day
in Ireland, known as Ladies' day,
there were services in all Catholic

These services were concluded at
1 o'clock on August Is and at 2
o'clock the police and BLACK and

men who had been ION the run"

his house and two others we're burn

The firemen, not relishing a similar
fate, stayed in the fire house.
AS the houses were burning the
'Black and Tans" raided the nearest
liquor store and helped themselves
along the streets shouting, yelling
and cursing, and calling on the Sim
Feiners to come out and fight.
That night they had to their
credit the wrecking OF over 100

proximately a quarter OF a mile
long, all one-story houses, mostly
the homes OF the poorer class of
working men, was wrecked. 1 went
through that street two weeks later
and there were only six houses In
the street to my knowledge that
were not wrecked.
From Limerick went to New
castle West, where I saw the streets
were shot up, doors and windows
shattered. and several houses blown
to atoms by bombs.
I then returned to England and
attended the Trades Union Congress,
and met and talked with leading
labor men of England, and with
many public men, including ex-
Prime Minister Asquith. and learned
that the great masses of the people
OF England. Scotland and Wales
knew little or nothing as to the true
conditions OF affairs IN Ireland, as

MINIMUM WAGE LAWS.

Minimum wage laws for women
have long been sought by Catholic
organizations and individuals. Rev.
Edwin V. O'Hara was instrumental
In obtaining minimum wage law
in Oregon. DR.. John A. Ryan has
long advocated minimum wage laws
and was active a the work in the
District of Columbia. The Bishops
Program Of Social Reconstruction
issued shortly after the war said
that "the several States should en-
act laws providing for the establish
ment or wage rates that will be
adequate for the decent individual
support Of female workers"

OBSERVE TRAFFIC RULES.

: Give the driver behind you clear
signal IL you are going to turn. When
you want to stop at curb, swing in
gradually, not suddenly, so as to give
the car behind chance to swing out
when you come to a stop.
If you are going to turn corner
to the right, hug the curb closely.
Don't swing your car haf way across
the street in making the turn.
Always sow up at crossings, and
watch the signas and signs. In some
cities there are one-way streets for
traffic. Learn them and don't risk an
accident by trying to drive the wrong
way.
Always proceed a lite sower than
you ought to; then your car will al
ways be under perfect control.
It is good idea to think out prob
lens Of traffic ahead Of time; plan
what you are going to do when you
get to that congested corner, and when
you haev made up your mind what to
do, do it.
The beginner should never attempt
to drive a motor car in heavy traffic.

FireSide Talks
With Members of the Newspaper
Bible Class
By REV. E. B. ALLEN, ID.
Pilgrim Congregational Church
Oak Park, iii.

In all the world there is no finer
illustration of fidelity in witnessing
as among those who have been loyal
to Jesus Christ. Men and women,
and little children have given up
their Lord from the time of the first
Christian martyr to the hour when a
Christian physician laid down his
life in typhus-stricken Turkey, there
have been those who challenged our
admiration because they were will
ing, fearless and truthful witnesses.
Exactly what is it that these men
were asked to witness for? They
were told to carry the teaching of
Jesus Christ every where in the
world. They were told to strive to
60 and serve as he did. If the world
were living today in accordance with
the teaching of Jesus Christ and all
men were trying to serve one anoth-
er, injustice and all sin would be
blotted out. The dire disease called
Bolshevism would be cured. The
awful struggle between Labor and
Capital would end. Waste, want,

Real witnesses are not so much
concerned about what they will get
as what they will give. Upton Sin
clair, who is his own publisher, at
this writing has just announced a
new book having the title, "The Pro-
fits of Religion" Without any know
ledge of the contents of the book,
find that his description of it-"A
study of supernaturalism from a new
point of view-as a source of income
and shield of privilege"-Sounds
very much like the point of view of
Simon MaguS.

Nests In Bushes or In Low Lying
Thorn Trees.
The children of rural communities
in the middle west used to be told
that certain birds or all birds under
certain conditions, became the par
ents of mice, says the Toledo Blade.
1t was thing easy to prove, and
many children proved It for them
selves.
They looked for nests in bushes
or in low-lying thorn trees and II
they searched long enough, sure
enough they would come upon a nest
with brood of mice in it. Fortu-
nately for their love of the outlandish,
they did not hang about until the
mother bird returned. It would have
been long. long watch.

Peter and John were commits
stoned as witnesses for Jesus Christ.
There are three essential qualifica-
tions for witness: He must be
honest, he must be competent, he
must be willing. 1t does not make
any difference how honest a man is
unless he knows the facts. 1t is of
little value to have a man who knows
the facts unless he will tell the truth
about them and the whole truth. And
he must have spirit which makes
him face without flinching the task
of witnessing.

MULLEN IS STAR
FOR PENN STATE
West Virginia Will Likely
Have to Watch This
Star Performer.

Morgantown, Feb. 25.-Mullan the
veteran right forward Of the Pensyl-
vania State College basketball team
is the man whom Wesh tWrglnias
forwards will have to watch most
closely in the big basketball game
here Friday night of this week. Null
Ian came hero with Penn State in the
1918 season and when the game was
over, he had scored seven goals from
field, or almost as many as all his
team mates put together. In fact, at
the end of the first half in this 1918
contest, West Virginia was leading
State by 17-14 score, but in the
second period Mullan broke loose and
scored six goals from field, putting
his team far in the lead. Another
performance by Mullan, which speaks
for his ability, was his six field goals
against Pitt at State College last
Saturday night. Mul1an is remem-
bered here for his sensational work
In 1918 and great crowd OF fans will
be out to see him perform Friday.

The midget catcher of the Chicago
White Sox says he believes Ty Cobb
Is the closest student of the game now
playing the diamond pastime. He
also admits that the Georgian Peach
is the smartest and greatest player of
today.
You don't know when he's going to
run. He'll take mighty big lead on
you, but you can't pick him Off
Pitchers have tried to get him, also
catchers.
Cobb hits singles, doubles, triples
and home runs, he steals, he bunts, he
throws and he makes great catches.
When you can get 24S hits, as Ty did
in 1911, score 147 runs, average APO
and steal SO bases-well, Ty leads the
parade, that's all!

FLOOR BATTLE
Mike Hamilton Does War
Dance on His Ear in
First Period,

In game that was rough enough.
to bite a slice out of Mike HamIq-
tons ear; close enough in the first
malt to be interesting; loose enough
IN the second half to be entertaining
ana game very much enjoyed by
the good sized crowd present. Fair
mont Normal knocked off the Clarks-
burg stars 1920, after being able to
command but two.point lead at the
close Of the first half.
The game was a little slow work
ing up steam and for the first feSt
minutes things were little dull. but
after that time there was plenty OF
bunch and fight. Late in the second
period, both teams INDUCED in strenu-
GUS play and holding and tripping and
the like were much in the limelight.
Nike Hamilton was the leading actor
In sorrowful little tragedy in the
first half. Mike was racing down
the floor near the east end of the
gymnasium when one of the Clarks
burg players endeavored to make
him go little faster by sticking his
feet between Mikes legs and CIV
ing him push. This caused Mike
to sweep W the immediate floor space
with his ear and side of his head,
with the result he Clipped off a
small piece OF his ear and got all
over blood. He also twisted his ankle
slightly, but remained in the game
and was able to negotiate seven field
baskets and shoot IL fouls cut of II
before the final whistle blew.
Had Tough of Fairmont landed all
the good shots he made last night,
the score would have been much
larger. This lad put no less than
eight in the basket only to see them
hop out again for some reason when
they seemed to be half way down the
net. He finally got two shots all the
way through, both from very diff
cult angles.
When the local team played in
clarksburg and was defeated, wei
stated that is was a case of where
the best team lost, and the game last
night verified our opinion as there is
no person who saw the game, whoI
would not think Fairmont better than
the ClarSsburg bunch on any floor in |
the country. The local lads wereI
simply away off their stride the firstI
half in Clarksburg and allowed the
Harrison lads to get too big jump
on them.
Crop, the Clarksburg guard. played
his usual aggressive and slightly
rough game, but the local lads gave
him back in the same kind of coin.
Crop and Jimmie Knight had a
couple of little run-ins during the
game, but no serious damage result
ed. Referee Garrett had his hands
full, but worked the game in a man
ner that seemed to give general satis=
faction.
