CHURCH REVIEWS - AID TO NfiTION Catholic War Work of the Pas’ Promises Future Usefulness to Uncle Sam. MILLION WORKERS ENLISTED From the War Front to Every Corner of This Country Catholic War Council Helps Our Cause. Washington.—Reporting to the con ference of the entire hierarchy of th Catholic Church In this country, thn has been called tn Washington to con Sider the past and future work of tin National Catholic War Council, th'coders of this nation-wide welfare 01 ganization have outlined a record o war work that extends from the fron lines in France to the furthest cor tors of this country. They iiave als Indicated comprehensive lines alon which the full force of the millions o workers enlisted in their various arttv Hies at home and overseas may b turned to the aid of tiie governmen In the trying times of recoustruciioi ahead. In summarizing the war work of It Committee on Special War Activities in a recent report to the Administra live Committee of the National Catlio tic War Council, the following resunu )f some of the things undertaken am ?arried out by this organization ha: just been presented: “We have co-ordinated and brough 'nto a common service 10,000 Catheli' organizations throughout tin country. This co-operation insures ou ibillty, which has been tested mon ihan once, to meet the great opportu Pities that present and will presen hemselves. These men's organiza tions ate used to conduct service club 'or men, to supply workers in man; ields of endeavor, to co-operate wit l -orernnientai agencies. “Conditions at the beginning of th var revealed the fact that the activlt; 'f Catholic women had no nationa expression, no recognition. Th, Committee on Special War Activitie tas within the ten months of its ex stence co-ordinated into national a< ivlty the thousands of Catholic wo nen’s organizations of the country; 1 :as established women’s clubs through nit the country; it is sending Catholb >vomen into every field of social work it Is giving them the opjiorlunity o' service in the visitors' houses. “In like manner we secured recog tition for Catholic women in over seas work. That we might train them we established a training school sot women with its own faculty. There b ready to receive them a home In Pari: ind two representatives of the Nation al Catholic War Council, Mr. Dene rhand and Mrs. Stocks Millar. Th< work of women abroad will continm for at least eighteen months to come md we are in a position to extend 1: ;o other countries. The Catholic wo ucu of the country have responded t< this opportunity in a wonderful way rite resources at our command arr rich. All that is needed is training and leadership. “As early as April 13, 1918, the sub zcmßrlttee on Reconstruction was ap pointed. This committee gave diligeri'altjention for months and anticipate* In a surprisingly accurate way th< problems of reconstruction. We havt assisted in shaping the Government conduct of tiie problem of relief and o' locational training. Our workers an placed in the reconstruction hospitals throughout the country. Depended upon these is the future education as Abe wounded man and the college te which he is sent and in what he if o be educated at the expense of flu Government. We are officially co-op crating with the Federal Board of Vo eatieaa! Traisiag and with the Unitec States Enipleyßient Service. Through the Committee on Special War Activities is imMifUed a series of pamphlets au Reconstruction, the first of which aas an official pronouncement of the Administrative Committee of Bishops "The Committee has likewise taker op the work of supplying through ou: Catholic hospitals free clinical servici for soldiers and sailors and their families and is extending this in ea-opera tiun with the Red Crow Home Service to ail the larger cities of tiie country Tiie same extension has provided us with an opportunity to have and em ploy the clinical woman social worker It is not too much to say that our work fn Recon str nd ion plays a leading part and the heads of Government Depart nients bare told us explicitly Glut they have been aided aioje fey the advi'je and help of the Njitjoßfil Catholic Wat C/ttninJ than tey any other organiza tkwi. “Born of the emergency that noces Mitated the foil e»-openarion and eorjif rate service of the entire Catholic bodj of .America, the National Catholic War Council has been officially recognized by the Government and has made enduring the great record of Catholic patriotic service. It has devolved in a atwcinl way on the Committee on Syecial War Activities te de the pioneer work of co-erdißylißg the mens organ irations Had es practically erswUng c national woman's organization tha’ would give the Catholic women of th-, country rightful place In war welfan work. The record of achievement tha> this report shows. Slight as it mav be is nevertheless sure evidence rtf w j lH t the entire Catholic bMy of the corm try under the leadership of the Bist ops can do in time of peace.”

SAVE EVERY CRAIN Os Sugar Says State Distributor —Shortage is Getting Very Serious NO RELIEF IN SIGHT Until Beet Sugar Harvest Comes On—Can Sugar Nears Its Finish. * Showing just how serious is the ugar famine which has been strongly elt in Decatur, as well as in other (arts of the state, the Indianapolis (Jews issues the following, which is (artially a statement of the state disributor of sugar: “Sugar refiners of the east have inHeated, declares Stanley Wycoff. who s in charge of sugar distribution in he state, that when the remainder ■f the 100 cars of cane sugar promised o this state have arrived they will rithdraw cane sugar from the Indiana md Ohio markets, and these states nust then await beet sugar from In- i liana, Michigan and western states, n the event they do this. Mr. Wyckoff ays, Indiana will be without any I ugar supply whatever from the time he 100 cars is used until the beet ugar arrives, which will not likely, :e before the last of October. “Mr. Wykoff has wired the sugar 'quilization board requesting that it lo everything in its power to keep -ane sugar moving to this state until elief can come from the beet sugar efineries. If only a few cars of cane ugar can be obtained, he asked that hese be sent, in order that the state vill not be entirely without sugar. “In the meantime, Mr. Wyckoff leclares. the Indiana public must conserve what sugar is now arriving to he limit. The waste of a single grain s serious in the present crisis, he leclares. “According to figures available in he office of Mr. Wyckoff, a total of 70 carloads of sugar have been reeived in this city since August I. This amounts to about 9,350.000 (ounds. Os this amount. 60 per cent. 'ias been distributed to other cities in he state. The remainder has been old at retail and used by maufactur>rs and eanners in this city. “Mr. Wyckoff declared most of the lotels and restaurants in the city are low carrying out his wishes, having aken sugar bowls off their tables, and ire now serving only limited quantiles to their patrons. “Figures received by Mr. Wyckoff rom the equalization board indicate hat during the period between Jantary 7 and September 1 of this year lie public consumed nine pounds nore sugar per capita than in the ame period last year. This, with a •onsiderahle amount of hoarding, has >een partly responsible for the present shortage, he declares. E. J. Fogarty, warden of the state irison at Michigan City telegraphed *or sugar. He said if a supply is not -eceived at once the prison would have to “cease the manufacture of tobacco.” HURT IN MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT Sergeant Otto Harb, a recruiting iffieer. was very seriously injured Saturday when his motorcycle was struck by a street car. His right leg was broken in two places, his w-rist badly •sprained and his liack hurt. He is in he hospital and is getting along as veil as he could under the circumstances, but suffers a great part of he time. His mother. Mrs. George ■■hronister. went to Ft. Wayne last evening to he with him. "W i — ‘Gets-It“ Peds Off Corns Painlessly Off They Come Like Banana Skin. 2 or 3 Drops. That's All.
