Commenting upon the first prosecu-

of public health, declared the depart

irish EMIGRATION
MOVEMENT TO KEEP YOUNG PEG.
PIE AT HoME-NEEDED TO
HELP BUILD UP THE FREE
STATE.

Little more than a week ago, no
tees were posted all over Ireland call
ing attention to the decree of the Re-
publican government Of Ireland pro.
hibiting the emigration of Irish cit
liens except upon the securing of spe-
cific approval of the Minister of Home
Affairs.
1t is the policy of Sim Fein to dis.
courage all emigration from Ireland,

are opposed to unrestricted emigra.
ton.
This policy is in consonance with
a widespread movement in Ireland
which would discourage all emigra-
ton from its shores except in the case
of extraordinary circumstances. Those
who foster this movement argue that
it ever Ireland is to occupy it's right.
full place in the destiny of nations,
Irish boys and girls must stay at home
and play their part in the upbuilding
of the nation and the race. For these
are momentous days in Ireland. The
hour of resurrection is at hand, and,
as in Poland, each man and woman
has some part to play. 1t is even in
timated that to emigrate from ire
land now, except in special cases, is
to be disloyal to the nation. The
Irish, by nature, are an intensely pa
triotic people and passionately devot-
ed to the cause of Irish freedom. The
"stay-at-home" gospel has had it's eff
feet. While the nation was engaged
in warfare with the British empire,
it was forbidden for any Irishman to
leave Ireland. Those who did so were
generally looked upon as being dis
loyal to the nation in the most perilous
period of its history.

MARY AS MODEL
ETHICAL CULTURE WRITER
PRAISES BLESSED VIRGIN -
WARNS OF DANGERS TO socIE-
TY FROM FEMININE iMMODES-
TY.

Tributes to the Blessed Virgin such
as any non-Catholic may read with
profit, are contained in the new book
Christ and Human Life" by F. w
Forester, son of the founder of the
Ethical society in America.
The author makes socialist ask his
teacher: IF you see the immodest
maiden of the present with short
skirts and open work stockings, do
you know then what the Holy Virgin
means to this world? I have lost my
faith, but l will have nothing to do
with this modern wickedness."
When Christianity began the work
of saving fallen and degenerate race,
it made use more than all of the spir.
itual influence of womanly purity, Mr.
Forester writes. The decadence of
those ancient peoples, he declares, was
nothing in comparison with the deg
radiation which will follow the degen.
Grafton of modern women, and the tri.
umph of the demi-monde.
From such downfall, the world
can be saved only by the most sub
lime embodiment of imma culate viz.
tue in women-only that is strong
enough to deliver mems souls from
the power Of sensual egoism and, in
the midst of naturalism, make place
for the spiritual. The Spotless Virgin
is greater than all the inventions con.
trolling natural forces.

INCOME TAX FACTS
CHANGES IN THE REVENUE LAW
THAT MAY BE or INTEREST
EXEMPTIONS NOW HELP MORE.

Changes in the revenue law are of
material benefit to the average family
man. Under the revenue act of 1921,
married person, living with wife or
husband, whose net income for 1921
was $4,000 or less, is allowed per-
sonal exemption of $4,000. Under the
revenue act of 1918, the exemption al
lowed a married person was $4,000, re-
CARELESS of the amount of net income.
The normal tax rate is the same,
per cent on the first $4,000 of net in.
come above the exemptions, and per
cent on the remaining net income.
Given his personal exemption of 3d.
500, plus $500 for each dependent, a
married man with three chiidren-the
average American family-will pay
this year on net income of $4,000 a
tax of $12. On the same income for
1921, he would have paid tax Of $56.
Every citizen and resident of the
United States must determine for HIM
self whether his income for 1921 was
sufficient to require that return be
filed. Full instructions for making
out return are contained on the
forms, copy of which will be sent
to taxpayers who filed a return last
year. Failure to receive return,
however. does not relieve taxpayer
of his obligation to file q return on
time, on or before March Is, 1922.
Forms may be obtained from collect
ors of internal revenue and branch Of
fees.

REACH $4,000 DISABLED
K. OF c. EXTEND WORK TO TWO
HUNDRED FiFTY-NiNE HoSPl-

Decision by the Knights of Column
bus supreme board of directors to ex.
tend the disqualification work of the
organization to more than 100 addi-
tional hospitals containing disabled
veterans of the war, is announced by
Supreme Secretary William J. McGin-
ley. Beginning with February l, the
X. of c. will be active in 259 hospitals
throughout the country. A corps of
105 X. Of c. secretaries, all with war
welfare experience, has been enlisted
for the work, which comprises the pro-
duction of entertainments, the promo
ton Of physical recreation and the
distribution of free creature COM
forts and maintenance of personal
service to the disabled.
The extension of the K of C. pro-
gram this year means, virtually, that
the K. of G. will reach practically ev-
cry one of the approximately 10000
disabled veterans.

SCARCITY OF BABIES
FEWER INFANTS FOR ADOPTION
MODERN WOMAN TOO INDIE.
PENDENT.

Scarcity Of babies for adoption is at
tributed by G. C. Carstens, of New
York, director Of the Child Welfare
League of America, to the 'independ-
ent attitude of modern women" and
prohibition. Mr.. Carstens spoke in
Chicago a few days ago before the
Middle West Conference Of the league.
IF you want baby for adoption,
get one now, for soon you won't be
able to-" he said.
There are fewer babies in the better
class homes because of the disposition
of women to avoid the cares Of moth
erhood, Mr.. Carstens said. But when
the young married woman realizes that
something is wanting to her home,
she resorts to adoption as the easiest
way of finding substitute for her own
children. This demand has exhausted
the supply Of babies that formerly
could be had for adoption, he said
Prohibition was a factor in the situa-
ton by decreasing the number Of de-
pendent children, Mr.. Carstens de-
clared.

MASS ON STEAMERS
PROVISIONS MADE FOR CELE-
BRATiNG HOLY SACRIFICE.

In view of the large number of COM
municants of the Catholic Church con-
stantly travelling between the United
States and Europe on ships of the
White Star, Red Star and American
lines, the international Mercantile
Marine Company, which owns and OPP
crates those lines, now provides all
the articles necessary for celebrating
Mass on board ships.
The chief steward on each ship is
made custodian of the gold chalice,
altar stone, wine cruets and altar
cloths employed in the celebration of
the Mass, and an altar can always be
speedily arranged. The ships lounge
is usually employed as the place of
worship.
Protestant services are also held on
all ships, usually in accordance with
the ritual of the Episcopal Church.
