The arrests of the little ones seem to be unreasonable. If there is no one to look after them they are sent to the Island, where faith and morals are greatly endangered.” The Cardinal urges greater activity on the part of the Big Brotherhood movement in Catholic and other churches to reduce the number of arrests among children and keep youthful offenders from the criminal contamination of jail. No one questions the value of such effort—particularly among homeless and orphan children. It sug- gests, however, a further query: How much is being done or could be done to reach the child through the most natural of all channels— the father or mother? Even depraved parents rarely lose all desire to eee their children go straight. In early yeare the safest policing a child can have is from ita parents, A concerted attempt on the part of churches and eocial workers to stir and guide instincts of parental pride and duty would help much to keep children out of the police courts. The proper .pereon to guard 8 child from the effects of the streets and bad com- pany is, first of all, its mother or its father. Among children who must grow up in the hardening, poisonous ¢urroundings of a great city, among the unfortupate, undisciplined children of the streets, from whom are too often recruited our rowdios and embryo criminals, Big Brotherhood societies and their like will always find useful work. Lat us never forget, however, that to etart a child on the right road the humblest parent is worth « thousand policemen and juvenile agente. A —_——--—_____.

Municipal Explosives Committee: to go into offect January 1, 1918. By selling vast quantities of the old dgngerous type of match to local grocers at cut rates the Match Trust hopes to persuade retail dealers to fight the law. The Aldermen will have the ultimate say. ‘The white phosphorous match has had its trial. The case against it {s overwhelming. The fire in the Aech Building on Washington Mace, in which one hundred and forty-seven girls lost their lives, was said t6 have been caused by the afterglow of a phosphorous match dropped into a heap of waste in a shirt waist factory. Insurance records show that phosphorous matches cause over $36,000,000 fire loss yearly in the United States, besides poisoning to death one thon- and children who suck the heads. Phoephorous matches are also highly poisonous to the employees who make them. All that can bo said for the phosphorous match ia that it can be made 5 per cent. cheaper than the safer kinds, and that the Match Trust is still turning it out in huge quantities, Safe, non-poisonous matches with stems impregnated to prevent afterglow are, aa everybody knows, now sold by billions in this and every other civilized country. The white sulphur match is as dan- | ~~ and out of date as the tallow dip. There is no Possible excuse Totaining it. Tet the Aldermen make certain that tho city is fimatly.and definitely rid of it. ‘ —_— , To encourage Me native town to launch out a dit, a man in .

The other day 1 was in a small shop.

She knows more about the stock than I do." T ‘found there was no mistake about that. She certainly did. After talking with the girl at some length I learned that she had been in the shop, working with her father, for several years; and in fact was the CHIEF PARTNER in the concern, although but a SILENT one, Ghe kept all the books and in- ventories and, in truth, was the CHIEF PNGINEER ay to the RUNNING of the business. She worked day and night, practically, having RESPONSIBILITIES on her young shoulders, yet was not a REC- OGNIZED member of the finn. The encouragement of being such would have meant much to this young woman, She would have felt herself RESPONSIBLE party-recognized—and perchance the sordidness ‘of continual work would not so have dominated her spirit as it seemingly did.

THE INSPIRATION OF BEING RE- SPONSIBLE, TO YOUTH, IS LIKE NO OTHPR INCENTIVE FOR FULLER! POWER. October 28, The Day of Rest BY jwaltsthn| BY By Maurice Ketten BY - pLBE Bi SOE RHINE A the sake of carrying his Faith to the Indians, stepped ashore from a canoe near the mouth of the Iowa River one day in 1673, And his was the first white man’s foo: to prese lows soil. . The rest of the grim throng of French and Spanish explorers, who from t!me to time cut their way through the Western wilderness in those early days, were lured by gold, by love of adventure or by the desire for glory. But this priest—Pere Marquette— had only the hope of saving souls, To that end he moved fearlessly onward through the perils of the trackless wastes. And in bringing to the savageo the Word and the Cross he at last lalé down his gallant life amid the Northeastern forests, far from friends und fatherland. On the strength of the explorations made by Marquette and his fellow shoot France claimed not only Towa, but all the Mississtpp! Val- ley. ‘The tract was ceded to Spain in 1763, was ceded back to France again a few years later, and at last was sold to the Untted States tn 18% as part of the Louisiana Purchase. For more than a century after the passing of Marquette the rogion lay desolate, traversed only by Indians and perhaps by occasional wandering trappers or traders, Other colonies sprang into life, The Revolution came and went, but Iowa remained a wikierness. ‘Then, in 1788, a French-Canadiah named Du Buque came hither with ten fol- lowers and formed Iowa's first actual white settlement. He and his men open lead mines and built rude huts on the elte of the present city of Dubuque. After Du Buque's death in 1810 the village and mines were abandoned. Meantime, Iowa's identity had been undergoing a series of rapid changes. From 1808 to 1805 it was part of “Indiana Territory,” then it was included in “Louisiana Territory,” then in Missouri, then in Michigan, and later in Wis- consin. Not till 1838 did {t become a separate territory under the name of lowe., That name, by the way, is derived from the Suoway, or Ioway Indian tribeg {which once Hved there. The word “Iowa’ has been translated vartously, as | meaning “beautiful land,” “sleepy ones” and “gray noses.” Take your cholce. And the nickname “Hawkeye State’ i+ sald to have been derived from Hawkeye, a tocal Indian chief. Towa Territory included most of Minnesota and both the Dakotas. It became a State with its present boundaries in 1846. Eleven years later an Indian massacre checked the dnrush of emigrants, but only for a Itt! while. The State begun {ts swift development, and nothing could long te- | tard its advance. About one-tenth of Towa’s entire population enlisted in Union armies during the civil war, a total of 75,839 troops. Since the war the State’s growth has been rapid and its industries have flourished. 7A POCKET Ee VOC BEDIA Copyright, 1912, by The Prese“Publishing Go, (The New York World), 486—Why is charcoal used as a pfi-) 4@—(Why are the bands on a tank vifier?
