ODD CONTESTS, OLD AND NEW.

From the dawn of time man has de-
lighted in contests, whether between
individuals who match their strength
and skill, or between animals.
Some of these contests are decided
ly quaint as, for instance. the cock
Growing matches of Belgium, where
specially bred and trained fowls are
matched to see which will crow the
greatest. number of times within a
certain time limit.
f The lark-singing contests of Eng,
land are far more musical, these con-
tests being promoted and conducted
by an association having good mem
bership. The birds are kept for some
time in dark room, and then placed
before mirror in the light. Imagin.

the bird at once bursts into song, a
careful record being made of the
length of the song.
There used to be in Hamburg a ia.
nous collection of wild animals which
included a number of giant tortoises
each weighing several hundred
pounds Children would mount upon
the backs of these strange steeds, and,
holding lettuce leaf on the end of a
stick just beyond the reach of the tor.
toise, coax them into an amusing race
toward fixed goal.
Much more exciting are the turtle
races which may be witnessed in some
of the South American countries
Turtle fishers select a number of the
great sea turtles, and attired in bath
ing costumes, mount their backs
grasping the forepart of the shells
with both hands. The turtles are
then released and at once make for
the sea. Ordinarily the turtle would
plunge with his rider to the bottom
of the sea, but this the jockey would
prevent by throwing his weight on
the back part of the shell and at the
same time pulling the forward part up
with his hands, which keeps the ami.
mails head above the surface. BY
pulling the she'll to the right or left
the rider is able to guide his mount
and circle is made about boat an.
chored Off shore, and so back to the
starting point. These turtles cover
a course of eight or nine miles in an
astonishingly short time.

BAD MANNERS.

Charles w. Eliot, president emeri-
tus of Harvard university, addressing
the Harvard Danes, said he had OBJ
served coarsening in manners of
young folks in recent years and,
speaking as "an old-fashioned man."
declared:
"In the first place there is the
coarsening of greetings and goodbyes.
The commonest salutation, which /
hear, is 'hullo, Bess' or 'hullo, Jack
Unheard of in my youth. I am told,
too that young men and women tap
and shove each other, with much en-.
ergy. Unheard of in my prime.
Next comes the great familiarity
in social intercourse. Young men and
young women nowadays talk chiefly
slang. Their conversation is rough
and relates to things that the young
men and women of my day never re
ferred to at all.
81 also notice that young women
expect to encounter rudeness from
men and that they don't resent it.
Young women don't seem to re
sent gross misconduct toward them by
men. You have all known young
women to be seized on during a dance
by intoxicated men, under the new
custom called cutting in That has
happened within my range of &C
quaintance over and over again in pri

ASK DAD, HE KNOWS.

We have always believed that a
boys greatest pal should be his father.
While amusing, it is source of keen
delight to hear the small boy Dragging
to his companions that his father
"can lick" all the policemen, firemen,
etc.. in the wide world. 1t gives us
an mixing Of the position won by his
father in the boys affection and con
fidence. Too often does the male
parent neglect the opportunities which
affect his progeny's future.
One editor analyses boys distrust
for his father in the following words !:
Some fathers constantly nag, find
faults, and never think of praising
their sons or expressing any appre.
citation of their work, even when they
do it well. Yet there lis nothing SO
encouraging to a boy, especially If he
finds it hard to do what is right, as
real appreciation of his effort. This
is tonic to youth. Boys thrive on
praise. This is why most of them
think more of their mothers than of
their fathers-because their mothers
are more considerate, more apprecia.
tive. more affectionate, and do not
hesitate to praise them when they dc

One night, in mid December, Joy
Sterritt rode out upon his fathers
farm to round up some cattle, in
preparation for sale to be held the
next day. He rode horse which his
mother had expressly forbidden him
to ride. The horse SHE'D at some
thing, threw the boy into creek in
the pasture, breaking his spine and
paralyzing< his body from the hips
down. Unable to extricate himself,
Joy Sterritt remained in the creek,
supported by the ice, all through that
cold December night until morning
came, when his strength failed and he
slipped down to his death.
During the night, with the aid of a
flashlight, he. wrote messages to his
mother. AS the hours passed, and. he
realized the end was approaching,
these messages. became ever more
tender and loving. Through them all
ran remorse that he had brought this
trouble upon himself and this grief
upon others by disobedience. Like
wise there ran through them all un-
conquerable faith in the God to whom
he turned in his misery.
God bless you, mother, would be
better off if I had always listened to
your advice" he wrote in the early
hours of the night. Don't worry
about me, for I feel sure that God is
with me tonight. Oh, mother, am
SO glad that I was brought up in a
Christian home," he wrote later on
AS the hours YEARLY wore away, he
described his position and his suffer
ing. Always he asked those who
loved him not to grieve. Always he
| was remorseful because he had beer
| disobedient. Always that faith in Goo
ran through the painfully scrawled
lines. A short time before morning
when the inevitable was almost upor
him, he reused himself enough tt
write: maybe somebody will see my
| fiashlight and come. I'm going tt
keep up as long as I have strength
do want to see you all so much
| There is a verse keeps running
through my head, and it is so beauti
| full: God SO loved the world, that Hi
gave His only begotten Son, that who
soever believeth in Him should no
perish, but have everlasting life
And then, at the last, well, mother
dear, it will soon be over. I'm in
hurry to go now. My suffering will
soon be over"

LENGTH OF HAIR MARKED
CASTE.

For long time the, length of hair
was considered mark of caste in
France. Only members of the royal
family and princes of the blood could
wear their hair long. Rolled hair was
a sign of obedience and inferiority
To cut the hair of prince was to de.
prive him of his right of succession
to the throne.
Notwithstanding these facts, Char
lemagne liked to wear his hair short
The. name of his son, Charles the
Bald, indicates the style of couture he

and he. to shun the notoriety of it.
strongly urged his subjects to cut the
hair on their heads, advancing numer
GUS reasons, sanitary and otherwise
for it's accomplishment.

MOTHER.

(For the Catholic Bulletin by Sem
inar.)
Oft times | think of wondrous deeds,
Of love and wealth and friends.
Bright fantasies of happiness
Imagination blends.
But one sweet thought l love to keep
In memory's review
Let sorrow come, will not lose
My vision sweet of you,
Of you, dear heart, of you.
My heart is so full tenanted
With hopes of bright success,
That fed by youth, it overfows
In dreams of happiness.
But in the center, hidden deep
Where none on earth can view,
Away from all else in the world
I've saved place for you,
For you, dear heart, for you.
What joy to speak the kindest words
To friends borne down with care;
Or whisper sacred litanies
When bowed in humble prayer!
But one sweet word l love to speak
That thrills my poor soul through
When death shall come l know I'll
call,
MY Mother, dear, for you,
For you, dear heart, for you.

Babson, who have pointed out the
fact that what is needed in business
or the home or government to remedy
it's serious present day defects is not
so much legislation or some new fam
gled man-made system, but religion.
1t is well, therefore, that the serv-
ice man pause on this week day and
reflect just what is his attitude on re-
ligion. Nothing is of more Importance
to himself or his cause than that in
Guided in the subject For if man
is without religion he has no con-
science. Without conscience he has
not the moral stability to choose be
tween right and wrong. Lacking such
moral stability his cause is lost be-
cause it countenances only self and
seeks to impose self above natural
laws and the welfare of all.
Therein lies the danger and it is
| we'll that the service man should see
the point. The troubles in the world
| today are not due to lack of legisla-
| ton or the failure of governmental &C
ton, but are due to the lack of relig-
| ion among individuals. This has re-
suited in a more decided refusal to
obey laws and the process gradually
enlarges until even governments are
threatened.
Scratch radical, for instance, and
you touch a man who doesn't believe
I IN the home, state, or God. He recog-
uizes no laws that are not made by
| self. Russia today is an example of
| that state of mind. They call murder
| good government and loot and pillage
are synonymous to their way of think
ing with order and prosperity.
| The United States is not without
it's cyclists. They are at work right
now throughout the land seeking to
overthrow, not alone the government,
but homes as well. The service men
must look to the future generation,
for he will not always be here. Is
that generation started already on the
| path of righteousness; are parents
showing them the way to religion
without which in another day there
| can be no patriots, no defenders of
| the flag, no supporters of the home
| We don't know; we only wonder.
| But the question is: What are serv.
ice men doing to improve conditions
Are they showing by example where
their hearts lie? Are they supporting
the church? Are they cooper ating
with it?
| If not, they should. No service man
recognition of the moral issues that
are bound up with religion and the
church.
