TO REWARD PATRIOTISM
 LATEST PLAN oF E


 Patriotism is to be encouraged and rewarded annually by the Knights of Coumbus At a conference of the direc- tors of the organization at the Hotel Commodore in New York Sunday it was voted to institute an annual award to be known as the Knights of Columbus Award for Patriotism. The form and value of the awar5 are not yet determined. Suggestions were made that it consist of money gift, 8 medal or plaque. The international board will decide these questions at a meeting in October
 It is intended that the award shall be bestowed each year upon person in the. United States, not necessarily a citizen, who, in the judgment of a K. of c. patriotic award committee to be named, shall have done the deed or spoken or written the word that will stand out as the greatest contribution of the year to the promotion of the Ameri- can spirit of patriotism" James A. Flaherty, supreme knight, said:
 The award will be a recognition, in the field of patriotism, similar to that of the Nobel prize n science and the humanities. It may be the simple par agraph of Gettysburg address or the clarion call of a Webster for political freedom It may be poem, book. pie ture, sculpture. or some inspirstional act of the hunblest immigrant who has come to our shores. Tn short, standing alone. it must be an incentive to emula- tion.''
 The award committee 1t was an- nounced, will comprise leaders in the clerical, judicial, military, naval and Journalistic life of the nation. A cash iza ale ha erfx- 11.v |. person providing -the committee of award with information concerning the ded finally adjudged worthy of the award
