Orders of the DIV

On motion by Mr.. Chalmers of
Bangor it was voted to take from
the table report of the committee on
Maine publicity on Resolve in favor
of State of Maine Building at East
ern States Exposition. tabled by that
gentleman Feb. %, pending accept
ance of the report.
Mr.. CHALMERS OF Bangor: Mr..
Speaker, l move the indefinite post
ponement of this report, and l wish
to state at the outset that here is no
prejudice against any person or any
interest that actuates me in oppos-
ing this resolve. l simply do not
believe that the State has the money
for the erection of any building out
side of the State at the present time.
Also there is a question in my mind
as to the State spending any money
for advertising. This resolve seeks
for the appropriation of $4,000. with
outside interests subscribing a like
amount. Now. in the statement of
facts. House Document PA. a part
reads as follows: The agriculturists
and the vacationists hired space in
the main exhibition hall of the En-
position in 1921 and 1922. for which
the expense to the State was approxi-
mately $4,000 (Which + presume
ihN<iho ohhNoiiS y w Ill d UulIulHS VI
it's own this amount will be annual
ly saved"
But in House Bill eos we have to
all intents and purposes appropri-
ated $4,000 annually. This does not
show that the new building will take
care of the $4,000. Now there is 49,
500 that we have already appropri-
ated and the committee on publicity
wants to appropriate $4,000 more
and expenses for five members of the
committee. and it looks to me as if
we would have some money in Mas
sachusetts before we get through.
Now, then. where are the private
subscriptions to come from? Perhaps
from large associated interest
probably not from a general sub
scription. If from large private inter-
est. and their interest is so great, and
they want building badly and, can
afford $4,000. it would seem to me
that the private interests should
build the building. / did not object
to the passage of the $500 appropri-
alton. as it seemed to me that that
would give exhibitors plenty of
space. If this Legislature Is bound
to spend $4,000, why not spend it
with the fairs of our own State?
Some of the members will say that
I am not progressive. But there are
two ways of progressing; one way to
thrift through carefully looking after
expenditures; one way to bankruptcy
throuh careless expenditures am
Informed that in one court in an agri-
cultural county of this State there
are one hundred cases or more where
tax collectors are suingN for taxes,
and from ordinarily well-to-do poo

Mr.. PHILLIPS of Orrington: Mr..
Speaker. l would like to ask with
reference to these resolves calling for
salaries, whether or not those are
not Private and Special Laws?
The SPEAKER: The Chair will
state for the benefit of the gentle
man asking the question. and the
members of the House. that these
matters were very carefully exam
ined by the committee Of reference
and it did not appear to that commit
tee that there was any bill or resolve
in there which would come under
the head of Private and Special
Laws.

MECHANICS |NSUCH DEMAND AS TO AID WHOLE SITUATION
Labor Leaders Predict Good Times Among Crafts For
 Several Months

The unusually strong demand for skilled mechanics during the past few months has contributed very materially to the prosperity of or ganized workmen. The situation is very encouraging to organized labor and labor leaders predict good times for severl months. In the Birming- ham district the conservative element is largely in the majority and affairs of the different unions are conducted in a businesslike manner. Agitators, as a rule have been eliminated, to the satisfaction of all who desire to see organized labor placed on a sound basis.
 In the building trades the supply of men has been far short of the demand Iron workers have had splendid season, with prospects good for the future. In the printing line all craftsmen have had regular work practically all the year. Electricians, elevator men and linemen are having The railroad brotherhoods report de- mand for all available men. While the machinlsts have many men out ot employment, conditions are inn proving and indications are that prac- tically all men will be working In the near future. Painters and deco rators, paper hangers, moving pie ture operators, barbers, musicians, photo engravers, garment workers and sign painters report conditions
 The call for street workers has been very heavy during the past few weeks, many of the members having to work overtime.

INCREASE
 ACTIVITIES IN SUMMER

The old idea of lessening the activi- ties of the church during the sum- mer is becoming more and more un- popular. Since the emphasis has been placed on increasing the efficiency of the church in all of its depart ments, religious leaders have come to the point of thinking that 1t is bad business and a destructive policy to bring to a halt in the summer all the carefully wrought plans of the church organizations. The practice of closing churches in the hot weath- CT period Is out of date. In the ag- gregate the majority of communi- ties have as many people to minis ter to in the summer as in the win ter. Many churches have adopted the daily vacation Bible schools, where the studens are not only in terested in Bible study, but also in recreational activities and craft work. One church is making a con- spicuous success of it's summer pro- gram by holding an outdoor meet ing every Friday night with mdsNc, movies, or a travel lecture on the lawn. The crowds attending these gatherings are more than double the number that had gathered before in any one of the local churches. Some of the city churches have included in their budget an amount sufficient for giving a number of chcildren a weeks outing In the country.

BISHOP MANNING NOT A CONSERVATIVE

Some months ago when the Grant Manning controversy was in full swing, Bishop Manning took Dr. Grant severely to task because of the latter's belief respecting the Virgin birth The bishops attitude toward the theological ideas of Dr. Grant gave. many the impression that Bishop Manning is to be classed as a conservative. Church papers are now commenting on recent speech by Bishop Manning and are pointing out that he Is in no sense to be re- garded as a fundamentalist. The bishop spoke on the relationship of theology and science, and said: We rot only recognize. we rejoice in the fruits of modern knowledge. We see nothing in the Christian faith that conflicts with the scientific theory of evolution but, on the con- trary, this theory as to the process es of creation seems 'to bring into clearer view both the majesty of the Creator and the glory of His revla- tion in the incarnation. The supposed conflict between science and religion, which formerly tended to chill re-

SISTER OF CHARITY TO
 RE FIRST AMERICAN SAINT

Instructions have been received from the Vtican to forward all docu- ments or writing of Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton to Rome. Mother Seton was the founder of the American branch of the Sisters of Charity Cardinal Gibbons made the initial move toward having Mother Seton canonized that she might be the first American Saint. Mother Seton was born in New York in 1774. Her father was an eminent professor in Colum bia college and health officer for the port of New York. The family had no Catholic inclinations, but later she sailed to Italy for her husba nd S health. She came under the influence of the Catholic faith and was ostra cized by her relatives. In 1903 her husband died, and two years later she returned to New York and was re- ceived into the Roman Catholic church. She was the founder and the first Superior of the Sisters of Charity, an order that now numbers 5000 in the United States. It is not known when the final proclamation making Mother Seton a saint will be issued. The process is a very slow one and onlN two years ago was Joan of Arc canoniZed.

HEBREW CONGREGATIONS
 PLAN EXTENSION WORK

The Union of American Hebrew congregations will spend approxi
 mately a half million dollars during the coming year for the advancement of Judaism in this country. This rep resents an advance of a hundred thousand dollars over the expendi- lures of the previous, year. The task of raising the funds will be given to the congregations affiliated with the union, and from all reports there will be no difficulty in securing the cooperation of the congregations The union now has a membership m of 265 congregations, with a total of 4S,- 769 individual members. At the recent meeting of the union, an announce ment was made that resolutions pre- viously adopted, condemning the abuse of the sacramental wine privi- lege, had received the indorsement of a large proportion of the congrega- tions of the union. and that resolu- tions have been forwarded to Wash- !ngton asking the government to withhold the sacramental wine privf- lege from Jewish congregations

 ENDOWMENT FOR MINISTER'S.

Former Postm ter General Will H. Hays, chairman of the committee entrusted with the responsibility of raising the pension endowment for ministers of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America. made an address at the recent meeting of the general assembly in Indianapolis that has been characterized by those who heard it as "the most complete and compact argument ever heard in be- half of this henevolence." MT. Hays said: Tt is now the enlightened policy of industry to care for the vet erans who have given their lives to it. Industry findS-tha-t- employees work better when this dread of future hardship is lifted from their minds. But 1t is grotesque to care for the future of firemen, policemen soldiers, workmen in all other lines just and wise as all this is-and yet leave the leaders of our only indispensable work to the tender mercies of a frigid world"

new magazine, supported by Roman Catholic influence, has made it's appearance under the name of "The Father Matthew Man." It is outspoken in it's advocacy of the pro- hibition laws of the country and in the practice of total abstinence. The first issue carries an article which argues that the wine mentioned in the Bible was unfermented grape juice. Objecting to the nullificatil policies of Governor Smith of New York, 1t rules him out of the list of presidential "desirables." A state mept of unusual interest is found in the first editions: The interruptions Catholic liquor politician in our large cities, by taking the moral law into his own hands, has done more harm to the Catholic church than all the anti-Catholic organizations of cen tury com bined."
