The British Government, to
fight depression in British trade,
will undertake international world
advertising on a gigantic scale.
This proves again what everybody
knows, that Great Britain has
statesmen working for her.
Five Billion dollars will be ap-
propriated at first to boom colo
hal goods. The idea of the Brit
ish Empire, solid and sound as a
steel bullet, Is that QUALITY,
PLUS ADVERTISING, can over
, come any trade depression.
Anybody can stand poverty, be-
cause almost everybody Is COM
PEELED to stand it. We have plen-
ty of practice. Few can stand
prosperity.
Farm lands on the edge Of De-
troit have doomed, and farmers
have sold out at prices never
dreamed of. Now fifteen of the
suddenly rich according to doc
tors, are nervously unbalanced.
The shock was too much for them.
In poverty they could have kept
their balance Indefinitely.
Two young roughs, each a gang
leader, engaged in a fist fight, and

The marriage of a young girl in
the Vanderbilt family has caused
newspaper discussion. A Protest
ant Bishop performed the cere-
mony, although the mother is a
Catholic and her daughters were
brought up in the Catholic faith.
Ali that is the business of the
family and of those Immediately
concerned. But in one statement
made by the family you observe
the ancient wisdom of the Catholic
Church.
When young Mr.. Vanderbilt, a
Protestant, married Miss Fair, a
Catholic, it was stipulated on the
mothers behalf that all daughters
born of the union should be
brought up in the Catholic Church.
There is wisdom. Daughters be-
come mothers, influence the chill
dren and the men about them, and
form the next generation.
The church that has the mothers
on its side is the church that will
survive, for mothers create and
guide the children and influence
the men,
