Lighter Units

Engineers in the transportation
field including airplanes, buses,
trucks and even railcars and rail
way trains concede that new ma
terials will completely revolution
ize all types of vehicles during the
next few years.
There are now metals available
which can cut the weight of these
transportation units to a fraction
of present practice. The very
soul of transportation engineering
is strength with lightness. For
safety and durability parts must
be amply strong. How to secure
this strength while at the same
time keeping weight down to the
limit is where advanced engineer
ing is making spectacular gains.
No greater aid has ever come to
the help of the engineer than the
new wonder metals now rapidly
becoming commercially available.
Magalloy, for example, with a
weight only one-fifth as great as
steel and only two-thirds the
weight of aluminium, has made
possible such great reductions in
the weight of castings and other
normally heavy parts that amaz-
ing gains in efficiency are realiz-
ed.
When any transportation unit,
be it airplane, truck, bus or rail
way car, is made lighter without
reducing its carrying capacity,
tremendous savings are made in
such items as fuel, tires. bearings,
and other parts subjected to load
aud stress.
Truck and bus operators ex-
press this saving in terms Of
ratio of payload to vehicle load.
The higher this ratio the more
profitable and the more satisfac-
tory the vehicle. Consequently,
the introduction into commercial
use of such materials as Magalloy
is being hailed enthusiastically
by designing and operating engi-
neers in all branches of the trans
portation field.

BOrerS At Work

An amazing mass of evidence is
being gathered by the Congress
sional committee investigating I'M
American activities, which must
prove conclusively, if further
proof were needed, that incidious
and sinister influences are at
work, with the object of changing
our form of government.
The incidious nature of this
boring from within arises from
the fact that many patriotic Amer
leans are giving aid to groups
which are really directed by Com
munists or Fascists.
Otherwise, good citizens have
been induced to lend their support
to Fascists under the guise of op-
posing Communism, while others
join organizations prompted by
Communists under the urge to
fight Fascism.
Both classes of alien-minded
groups usually choose some de
ceptive name, and their openly
avowed purposes often seen
harmless, and even worthy of sup
port. But when their real pur
poses are disclosed, as is now be
ing done, they are found to b.
such as to endanger the yer,
foundations upon which our gov
eminent has been built.
Americans should awaken tx
this grave danger, which can n,

odd SuperstitiOnS

Superstition rules many people
of the world, even in such COM
mon practice as washing clothes.
Moroccos women are sure that
clothes washed on Tuesday will
shrink, and that Saturdays wash
ing soils faster. Rumania's house
wives, on the contrary, wash
Saturdays, but are sure their suds
would turn to blood if they should
attempt to wash on Good Friday.
English peasants say a death will
occur soon in the family if any
one makes this most tragic of all
our religious anniversaries her
washday.
Russian women believe that if
they wash clothes at Whitsuntide
much-feared water spirits will
show their displeasure.
Only in the United States do
women have no such foolish ideas.
Our wives and mothers make no
distinction between the days. Per-
haps it is because manufacturers
have made it so easy for them to
wash whenever they please. With
electrical washers in two-fifths of
all the wired homes, and other
power washers in many thousands
of other homes, wash-day no long
er is task postponed as long as
possible, upsetting the whole
home when it cannot be further
avoided. Cleansing is done
swiftly and easily now, and eco
nomically, too
On the Isle of Skye, it is said
that if man dies and his family
does not wash his clothes, the
ghost of a woman will appear and
do it for him. That would be a
washday even easier than those in
our rightly equipped homes, but
there is no record of any "Skye
ites'' even putting the superstition
to the test.

GREET STUDENTS
Civilization Facing Severe
Test Says st. MichaeI's
College President

Winooski Park, VT. Sept. 49,
With Christian civilization facing a
crucial trial in the modern world,
Catholic college students have a
deep responsibility 10 develop them
selves as leaders of men and soldiers
Of Christ, the Very Rev. L. E. Cos
selin, s, S. E., president Of st. Mich
aers college, declared this morning
IN his opening address to the col
lege student body.
The college chapel was filled as
ceremonies opened the 35th year.
Father Gosselin celebrated mass be-
fore giving the address.
The aim Oh ST. Michael's college,
Father Gosselin affirmed, is the Gull
tivation Of Christian character for
the service of God and fellow men.
The college takes upon itself the re-
sponsibility of providing adequate
conditions for the student to develop
this type Of character, he said, but
the responsibility of developing 1t is
before the student himself.
In the contemporary world espe-
cially, Father Gosselin said, the un-
dergraduate should keep before him
the words of st. Paul Labor in all
things do the work Of an evangel-
ist". The st. Michaels president
said, "the world Of today looks tc
college men to save Christian civiliz-
alton"
"Simply mastering studies ano
keeping out Of trouble is not the way
to education" the college head de-
clared. He urged the students te
cooperate to the full with the op-
portunities OF Christian training.

HABIT OF SUCCESS
THEME OF SERMON
True Education Prepares
Youth for Success, Fail
ure Says DR.. Walker

success, like good many other
things In life, Is very often habit,
stated Rev. DR.. John @. Walker,
pastor Of the Second Congregation
al church in his sermon yesterday
morning entitled, Per the Church
Year
Dr. Walker stated In part:
Some people. some churches, have
made q habit OF success. Almost
always success comes-things are
done patiently, honestly whole
heartedly. We ought TO be prepared
both 10 succeed and TO fail. Any
education that does not prepare a
youth for both success and failure
falls far short Of It's detectives. All
those who cherish high ideals. Chris
tan principles, must be prepared to
accept O large measure Of rebuff
and failure In life. ! reserve some Of
my deepest admiration for those
fine and sensitive spirits who seem
TO fall In life. They fan because
they are seers and prophets. They
are too far In advance Of the great
majority.
On the other hand and although
we need not worship success, It must
also be said that many good cause,
many q fine effort fails, not because
OF ideals too high and principle
too noble but because there was q
want of forethought, lack OF en-
terprise, an unwillingness to spend
and be spent. Sometimes have u
feeling that God must find 1t very
difficult TO forgive that kind OF fall
ure. Those who accept responsible
ity and fail to discharge 1t. those
who make promise but are not con-
cerned about keeping them, those
who have accepted obligations but
let others carry the burdens, fail
under the condemnation Of the
Apostle. And as for those who put
their whole souls into the enter
prise OF the Church. well, something
happens to their souls, something
splendid and ennobling. AS q mat
ter OF fact, that Is the very way
our souls are saved.
You will note, ! am sure, that the
text from Paul Is far more than O
simple admonition TO be faithful
and wholehearted. That qualifying
phrase at the end makes all the
difference. II you say, Whatever
YOU do, do 1t heartily" and leave 1t
at that, why that might serve as O
motto for any business concern.
Business firms that secure the
hearty cooperation Of oil OF
their employees are almost certain
to succeed to an unusual II not TO
an emazing degree. But the Chris
tian church, has To go further, has
to ask more than hearty, faithful,
loyal service. At the end Paul says,
"ao unto the Lord"

Mrs, william ]. Grippin, presi-
dent of the Bridgeport Visiting

local session. She will be assisted
by Miss Mabel Baird, campaign d.
rector for the state tuberculosis
commission, Hartford, who will
make a report on the previous sale
which resulted in considerable
increase over former years and
totaled $4,000, one of the highest
in the United States.
Protection Of the home" Miss
Baird announced, will be the gen.
eral theme of the educational cam
paign against tuberculosis to be
conducted In connection with the
1888 Christmas Seal sale, with the
design Of the new seal suggesting
the theme. A mother and two young
children In costumes OF the Vic
torian age are shown lighting d
candle IN the window Of their home,
a custom which might be indicative
Of the light Of knowledge about tu-
begculosis that has been kindled
by the Christmas seals and Of their
mission Of protecting every home
from the dread disease. Education
Is an important function Of the
Christmas seal campaign, and 1t Is
our purpose not only to secure sup
port Of the campaign, but also to
present facts about the disease and
to educate the people Of Connecti-
