Awake to Scene Of Carnage.
lBy Membef Of Comnany I'D

- BELLOWS FALLS, Aug. D..
We were awakened at 4.30 yesterday
morning by the noisy entrance, of the six
men who went to Brattleboro the day
before because of absolute necessity"
We also awOke to q scene of carnage.
In the night someone had put shoe black
ing on lot of the boys faces and had
taken all the shoes and mixed them up so
some had two rights. others two lefts,
while still others had. one old shoe and
one new one. The whole miscellany
eventually was thrown into a pile i'm the
center OF the room and the crowd pro-
ceeded to dig around to find their right
shoes. My shoes were safe because the
marauder failed to find them, but | had
shoe backing enough on my face TO
shine the Statue of Liberty's dancing
pumps.
We have been having unusually good
mess under the conditions handicap

and resulted in several men washing
their feet, which was a grand good thing
for the rest of us.

UNEMPLOYMENT INCREASES.
Falling on of IL Per Cent in Employed
in july

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5-The extent
to which the industrial depression has
been felt by labor is indicated by the in
dustrial survey just made by the employ
ment service of the department of labor
made public yesterday by Francis /.
Jene& its director general The figures
collected for Che month ended July 81
show a decrease of II per cent in en-
ployment. and that while there were in
creases in some districts, this was due
in most instances to harvest and sea-
sonal agricultural activities.
analysis of the returns said Di-
rector General Jones, would seem to in
dictate that in the majority of instances
where there has been improvement in the
employment situation, it is primarily
traceable. directly or indirectly, to the
harvest and other seasonal agricultural
activities. Secondarily, and to some ex-
tent as a natural corollary, there have
been material gains in railroad occupa-
tions. principally in those which have to
do with repairs to rolling stock and road
beds g.. .#r ....=
Other bright spots in the industrial sit
uation are the continued vitality of tex
tiles and widespread gains in the build
ing trades.

A VENERABLE PRIEST
FATHER MAHER OF NOTRE DAME
is NoNAGENARIAN.

The oldest priest in the Congrega-
ton of the Holy Cross, and one of the
Oldest. in the world, Rev. Timothy Ma
her, celebrated his Goth anniversary at
the University of Notre Dame the 9TH
er day. Father Maher, survivor OF
the famous night of the big wind on
January 6, 1889, in Ireland, and who
has seen two disastrous fires destroy
many buildings of the University, has
passed the most of his life at the place
in the wilderness to which he came
by train to Toledo and by stage coach
to Bertram, the nearest station to No
ire Dame, in 1859.
In Boherlaham, Tipperary County
Ireland, he was born in 1881, anG
there passed his boyhood during the
time of the black famines that with
cred Ireland in the forties. At twenty
he left for America, and in 1869 he
received Holy Orders on the feast OF
the Assumption His late life has
been spent at Notre Dame, except fol-
25 years when he was treasurer of st
Edwards College, Texas. He served
Is years as treasurer of Notre Dame
and II years as postmaster.
Father Maher is an uncle of the late
Monsignor Organ of San Francisco
and Rev. William Organ, pastor OF
st. Leo's Church, Denver, Colo.

CLOSING ON GOOD FRIDAY

Each year beholds an increase
in the number Of cities and towns
where the three hours, from noon
to three p. NJ, on Good Friday,
are observed as a period Of sa-
cred quiet. In many places both
Jews and non-Catholics have
united with their Catholic fellow
citizens in offering this tribute to
the Redeemer Of the world on the
memorable day of His death.
The Christian, still possessed of
a true faith, will do his part ON
that Day Of days to revive and to
renovate his own spirit by paus-
ing during those solemn hours
and turning his thoughts towards
the most tremendous tragedy ever
enacted in human annals. Each
person has an individual interest
in this far-off scene, for it was on
account Of the sins Of the individ-
ual, as we'll as Of the race as a
whole, that Christ agonized and
died. Such remembrance, there.
fore, becomes a personal duty in.
cumbent upon every one who par.
ticipated by his sinful acts in that
deed of death.
While the marts Of trade and
the public forums may not see fiji
to stop the wheels of material &C
tivity for that short space Of
time, every Christian should in
tern himself within the sanctuary
of his own soul and there con
template the worlds most colos
sal crime; he should at the same
time view the love Of God which
| permitted mortal man to hurl hi
burden on the shoulders Of Di
vinity.
If the proprietors Of bushes
houses were properly approached
by strong public sentiment, Their
is little doubt but that they woul'
accede to a request for the oh
servance Of these three hours. Il
the meantime, the individua
| christian may revert at least i
| thought to the drama that one
crowned Calvary's heights.

APPLIES POPE'S Plan
SOUTH AMERICAN BUSINESS. MAN
PUTS SOCIAL DOCTRINE
INTO PRACTICE.

(By N. c. W. c. News Service)
Practical application of Catholic
doctrine to the relations between en-
ployer and employee has won Papal
honors for the wife of George Street,
head of large factory in Sac Paulo,
Brazil. Pope Benedict XIV has con-
ferred on Madame Street the cross
PRO Ecclesia ct Pontifce," because
of her part in the model enterprise
Mr.. Street operates in connection
with his factory workmen's village,
with schools, kindergarten, play
grounds and large chapel, in the
annex of which 700 children of the
operatives receive care and training.
Madame Street personally supervises
all the social welfare work of the in
dustrial center.
When, recently, strike began in
the various plants of Sac Paulo, Mr.
Streets factory was the only one that
was not affected The 1000 workmen
under him paid no heed to the prop
agandists and continued at their tasks
undisturbed
Several capitalists who had suffered
from the strike asked Mr.. Street how
he had managed to avoid similar
trouble. He replied: II have merely
followed to the best of my ability the
directions and instructions of the
Pope"

date the ever-increasing patron
age.
AS regards the causes for this
appalling condition, the report
points to parental neglect as a po-
tent factor in the downfall of
youth. Then there are the UNI
controlled pool halls, sensuous
dancing, crime and sex pictures
in the movies. The lack Of relig-
ious restraint may be assigned as
the basic and impelling incentive
to positive acts Of wrong doing
and of moral turpitude.
The youth Of today truly is to
be pitied. Never, in modern
times, have parents in general
been so remiss in caring for the
moral welfare of their offspring
as is the case today. The expert
ence of the ages shows that the
sex instinct wien left uncon-
trolled will quickly bring to grief
individual, community and ma
ton. Whatver tends to promote
that lack of control initiates
against moral life. At the pres
ent time immodest styles in dress,
indecent shows, public exposure,
the glorification of perverted sex
impulse in the movies, the most
depraved sensuous customs in the
dance, the light and airy manner
in which such evils are banded
about in conversation; these are
some of the causes for present de-
linquency, causes for which par
ents as rule are to blame.
Enforce the fourth and sixth
commandments in all their bear
ings, and more. than half of the
present evils will disappear.

THE MISSION REPORT.

The report of mission activities
in the archdiocese Of st. Paul for
the past year is a most gratifying
one from every angle. That the
total amount raised for mission
work, over $4,000, is not quite
up to last years record, should
not cause surprise; rather does
one wonder that our people
should still have so much for mis-
sions after a year OF campaigns
and drives Of many kinds that en-
listed their highest generosity In
view Of this, the fact that this
years amount is slightly below
the 1919 total encourages one to
believe that the spirit Of helpful
ness towards the missions is not
only continuing strong but is ac-
tually increasing in force.
One of the most salient features
of this years report is the num-
Der of pagan children "bought "
by the pennies Of our parochial
school pupils. This number ex-
ceeds one thousand pagan boys
and girls, who are thereby i'm
mensely benefited in a spiritual
and material way by the sacrifices
Of little Catholics here at home.
The huge number Of a quarter
, Of a million Christmas seals dis
posed Of in a short time last year
shows that our schools are quick
to grasp any and every oppor-
tunity to help those still living in
spiritual darkness.
A special effect Of all this mis-
sion activity will be seen later
when the present children become
the men and women Of tomorrow
Seeds of charity and generosity
sown now in the form Of pennies
will later on develop into a
strong, virile display Of munifi.
cence towards the laborers in the
outposts Of the Vineyard and
their charges.
After all, not so long ago we
Catholics in this country were the
objects Of charity Oh the part of
our more fortunate co-religionists
in Germany, Austria, Belgium and
France. The scale Of justice is
but turning when we Of ou1
abundance come to the assistance
OF those who now are in the posi-
ton of spiritual poverty that we
occupied little more than a cen
fury ago.
