Hall tree is One-evening prof.
ect for handyman with proper
electric tools.
Since finished lumber always is
somewhat smaller than the &C
tual size designation, the 2xl2
really is 11ss inches wide and, by
using an 115s-inch length of that
lumber, you'll have a square
base. When you make the square
hole in the center of the base to
insert the upright, remember that
a 2x2 actually is LIS inches
square, so the hole should be that
size.
The pieces Of dowel rod should
be inserted as hangers in holes
drilled at a 15-degree downward
angle. To assure that all are at
the exact angle, make a drilling
jig from 3-inch piece of 2x2.
Drill a 24-inch hole perpendicular
to one end and, using the mitre
gauge Of your saw table, cut off
one end of the 2x2 at 15-degree
angle. Place this jig so the angu-
lar face is fiat against the hall
tree upright, drill through the
jig hole into the upright and all
hanger peg holes will be at the
identically proper angle.
Another tip: You may want to
install a set Of hanger pegs half
way down the hall tree, in easy
reach of the youngsters, in addi-
tior to the higher pegs for adults!

High Humidity
Causes Trouble
BY Martha Johnson
Dodge Safety Consultant

Getting the car to start prompt
ly on humid or wet day usual
ly is more aggravating than seri-
Gus.
The cause of poor starting
on high humidity days often
is the pumping of the gas ped
al by the driver.
Instead of helping to start the
car, pumping the gas pedal works
lust the opposite, having the same
effect as overlooking or flooding
the engine.
These tips may help in get
ting a prompt start ON a humid
or wet day:
Don't pump the gas pedal.
Simply turn on the ignition
key, hold the gas pedal all the
way down to the floor, then step
on the starter until the engine
starts.
IL the car has been kept in a
closed garage overnight, open
the hood to let the air circulate
for a short time. Also, open
garage doors and windows.
Possible mechanical causes Of
q no-start situation are many.
The trouble could range from a
weak battery, coil, condenser OF

points, minute crack in the dis.

An Editors Lament

Since this is Press Month, we
thought the following Lament an
amusing one and pass it along to our
readers, as adapted from an unknown
author:
If he writes a good story about you,
that's what he is paid to do. If he
doesn't, you don't read his stuff any
way.
If he writes his stories complete,
they are too windy. If he condenses
them, they're too short and left out a
lot.
If he takes sides on a subject he's
trying to run things. If he remains
silent, he's a coward.
If he asks for advice. he's incom.
petent. If he doesn't ask for advice, the
job has gone to his head.
If he doesn't stop to talk, he's high
hat. If he does, that's all he has to do
anyway.
If his suit is pressed, he thinks he's
a big shot. If it's not, he looks like all
newspapermen. N. IT

One of the most irritating remnants
of the last century is the idea that, deS-
pite her long history as guardian of true
culture and patron of all the arts, the
Catholic Church is somehow opposed
to artistic endeavor. Even Catholics
sometimes, but mistakenly, look upon
bad art almost as one of the notes
Of the Church.
In the matter Of literature, for in.
stance, some Catholics are given, as a
self-imposed penanee for preferred
reading, TO singing the praises Of worth
less printed matter in the conviction
that, however dull the work may be,
it is to be Iauded for Tits good Catholic
aims!"
Such an attitude is not only unneces-
sary, but mistaken. We do not have to
be satisfied with inferior reading. If we
will but take the time we will find many
works whose content is worthy and
whose art is of a high order.
Those who say they don't like Cath
oIie books or those written in the Cath
Ollie spirit, haven't read with diserimi-
nation. Naturally there are some works
which are poorly written, but the best
can compare with the best by any other
author.

Why Confess

While it was possible for men
to have their sins forgiven be-
fore the coming of Christ, pro-
vided they were truly sorry,

il is possible for those who
do not have the sacrament OF
Penance to be forgiven but IF
Christ instituted the sacra-
ment it would seem obvious
that it MUST be an sdvantasel
The Church says that anyone
who knowingly rejects the way
Christ instituted is sinfully
wrong and we know that
Christ did establish the sacra-
ment of Penance (e.g. John
20.21-24). Further, there are
many advantages in the sim
cere use of the sacrament
leg. the orderly examination
of conscience. the advice of a
trained and divinely empower
ed minister of God and the
graces of the sacrament) some
of which are obvious even to
men of no religious convic-
tons. Our relationship to God
is not exactly certainly not
only natural; it is supernat-
ural. When we offend God we
should not decide in our own
case how we should be for
given but we should accept

ton.

substantial contribution to literature.
After, all. literature flows out of life
experience. 1t is an Interpretation of
human ideals in terms of the individual
with all the strength and weakness of
mans nature, but presented in such
a way that the reader can share the ex-
perience and profit from it in some
way.
With divine revelation to draw up
on, a realistic understanding of human
nature, and the tradition of 19 centuries
as background, Catholics should pro-
duce good literature. If we sometimes
fail, the defect is in the individual
rather than in the spirit.
These thoughts com to mind as we
begin TO observe Catholic Book Week,
February 1923. The theme this year IS:
Share Truth -. Spread Faith" Last
year 6o4 Catholic books were published
to implement that theme. All this is TO
no avail however, if these works are
not read. Catholic Book Week should
be a spur in that direction.
Do you want to learn the truth? Do
you want to share it with others? Do
you want to see how Faith really affects
all of life? Do you want to enjoy the
great experience of being transported
into another world by reading? Then,
consult the book list on page five this
week and make a selection.-GAF

the management Of their eco
nomie problems.
We are shocked TO read a
report by Joseph Steigman
that six and a half million
people III the United States
are facing some aspect of de-
sertion. We learn that econom-
lc pressure is often one of the
three most common husband
wife complaints. Desertion

we'll be related. 1t is not,
however, so much the amount
Of money available which
initiates tension as the way
1t is used.
BETTER BUSINESS
The integrity of our merch-
ants is more and more needed
as merchandising becomes
more complex, what with the
difference even between n.y.
Ions and dacrons, what with
more fine print involved in
contracts. One state, incident
ally, has a law requiring that
all fine print in any con-
tract cannot be smaller than
eI2ht-polnt type. Morally
speaking. a merchant is bound
IN conscience to reveal to a
customer any grave defects,
at least, in an article he is
selling.
The Better Business Bureau
exists in 40 cities and gen.
orally does a remarkable Job
fighting unfair advertising and
selling. Complaints are hand
led by the Bureau from the
public at large. Though they
processed over five million
inquiries last year concerning
better business practices, the
Bureau is still too little known
and used.
The answer then to your
problem, MIG, involves an in
divldual approach and also
that of society itself.

If he's been at it a good while, he's
gone stale.
If he attends a meeting, he's being
nosey. IF he doesn't, he's not interested

If he's giving away space. he should
give a great deal. If he's selling, only
a little will do.
If he makes a mistake, he hears
about it for weeks. If he doesn't make a
mistake, he never hears about it.
If he prints all the %"hand-out" ma
