Yesterday at San Francisco tho
Knights of Columbus ended
most successful convention repre-
senting eight hundred thousand
members, q powerful, we'll man
aged organization.
The next enterprise of the
Knights, according to Mr.. Ken
nedy, their very energetic young
publicity man, will be the build
ing Of a great American social
center in Rome as q tribute to
the Pope, and also as a protest
against the alleged efforts of the
American Young Mems Christian
, Association and the Methodist
Church to convert Italians from
their ancient religion.
Mr.. Kennedy says that with
swimming pools and other mate
rial attractions Protestant prop
agandists in Rome seek to wean
italian children from their faith.
The knights of Columbus will
acquire on one Of the hills Of
Rome an ancient palace. They
also will install swimming pools,
all the modern comforts and ath-
letic amusements for the young.
All this is good news. It Is
not for a layman to say what
religion is best, or what religious
experts should do, but any man
can see that it is an admirable
and long step from the baths of
Caracalla to the competing baths
of the Y. M. C. A. and Of the
x. c.. open to all.
= And whatever the rights and
wrongs of religious discussion.
we know that civilization Is going
ahead. and Divine Wisdom tn At
rules the world is demonstrating
itself anew, when conflicting relig-
ious opinions result in the estab-
1ishment of free baths. They used
to produce results much less
pleasant for some of THOSE
concerned.
Last evening you read the
headline, "Chinese Battling on
Ten-mile Front" One part of
China fights another part Of
China. So it has been, with
peaceful intervals under power
full rulers, for ages. AS iE Rus
sia, so in China. Many different
languages, men from one part
cannot understand those from
another.
When learned Chinese lady
visited Theodore Roosevelt and
invited friends to dinner in q
Chinese resta urant, she and the
Chinese walters were compelled
to speak to each other in Eng
lish. The walters could not un-
derstand one word that the edu-
Gated Chinese woman said.
Lack of understanding is the
trouble between different prov
inces in China. And lack Of un-
derstanding is-ths trouble every
where, for instance, between diff
ferent classes in this country,
hating and fighting each other,
not realizing that they all have
the same interest, which is to
raise as high as possible the
AVERAGE well-being.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bregard, Of San
Francisco, discovered a large rift
in the matrimonial lutte. Mrs.
Bregard decided to live away
from her husband for. six months
or so and see if "the love Bird"
as she POLITICALLY expressed it,
would come flying back.
At the end of the trial sep
aration" the couple were re-
united, but the missing bird ap-
parently had not returned. After
q few days the husband went
fishing, taking his motor. The
wife discovered the motor
parked, not beside the fishing
pond, but in front of a young
lady's house. The bird had gone
to the wrong address apparently.
Mrs. Bregard sues for separa-
ton.
Women make one great mistake.
They are too unselfish and gen.
erous with their husbands at first,
and the husbands do not appre-
ciate it. No woman would give
her husband roast quail every day
for six hundred days. She would
know well that he would 90 some
where else for small piece of
corned beef.
When women spoil their hus-
bands, treat them too much as
though they were really sppreci-
ative human beings, then they are
surprised when the husband "Roes
fishing" to the new address. The
warning, DON'T SPOIL YOUR
HUSBAND WITH KINDNESS"
should be everywhere elaborated,
for womar's protection.
1t is said that one billion pounds
Of copper are stored waiting for
purchasers. Intelligent advertis-
ing might sell some Of the copper
II those that build houses were
made to understand the value of
copper roofs, cutters, leaders, etc.
Men build houses, one part to last
q hundred years, another, the tir
roofing, cutters and water pipes,
built to last four or five years,
or less.
Also, mosquito netting should be
of copper, which lasts indefinitely.
II might be worth while for big
copper men to arrange the sale Of
