A CORRECTION.
Division No. 1 Instead of Division No.
7, Ladies' Auxiliary.
Through an inexcusable error, the
Irish Standard in its issue of Febru
ary 1st credited Division No. 7 with a
honor roll celebration, when it should
have read Division No. 1.
The program as given to the editor
later, by Division No. 1, was very
beautiful and creditably rendered and
the invited guests were Impressed
with the work of Division No. 1. As
a small token of appreciation for her
untiring work the president of the Di
vision, Mrs. Dempsey, was presented
with a beautiful morroco bound prayer
book by the members. The Misses
May O'Donnell, Adelaide Hannon and
Catherine Ooughlin, retiring officers,
were presented with beautiful rosary
beads.
ST. BRIDGET PARISH GROWING.
The parish of St. Bridget steadily
develops. The congregation is in
creasing every month. Loyalty to the
pastor is very much in evidence and
the interests of religion is the concern
of a large number of zealous work
ers. The last bazaar and the socials
held since that time have been such
a success as to draw from members
of other churches expressions of min
gled surprise and commendation.
It looks as if Feb. 21 will be a very
important date in the history of the
parish. On that evening a group of
young people (in the middle of their
teens) will stage "Mrs. Tubbs Does
Her Bit." This play has lately come
from the pen of an able play writer
and gives to the actors fullest op
portunity of entertaining their audi
ence from start to finish. Mrs. W. K.
Cody is the promoter. She has given
very generously of her time and
money to make the play a dramatic
and financial success. The partici
pants have just come on the stage
of parish operations. They have
formed the "U & I Club," and under
the splendid coaching of their able di
rector, Miss Kendrick Brooks, they are
sure to make a hit on Feb. 21 and
win further laurels on other occa
sions.
Don't forget the place—Auditorium
of Church of St. Bridget, Emerson and
38th aves. No., and the date, Friday,
Feb. 21. You'll sure enjoy it.

enthusiastically into the service in
connection with the L. A., A. O. H.
Red Cross Unit of Ascension Parish,
and it is believed that she has achieved
a record in this line of work that is
unsurpassed in the city. She was the
first woman in the city to win the
Red Cross chevron, which is bestowed
upon those who have accomplished a
certain measure of results in this serv
at Unity House, the headquarters of
the Northern Division or the Red
Cross, where she spent 1109 hours of
her time in knitting, sewing and gar
ment making,, and is therefore well
entitled to the honors given her by
the officials of the Red Cross. Among
the items standing to her credit are:
288 pairs of knitted socks.
5 trench caps.
1-pair mittens.
In addition to these she has knitted
16 pairs of socks for the soldiers at
Fort Snelling, which are not included
in the Red Cross contributions. She
has also continued to knit and make
many articles of clothing for the chil
dren of families in her neightborhood,
while devoting the major part of her
time to the needs of the men in the
service.
Mrs. Boardman enjoys the esteem
and friendship of a wide circle of ac
quaintances, who are proud of her rec
ord of patriotic service.
Her son, Thomas, has been with the
American fighting forces since the be
ginning of hostilities and is now doing
duty at Coblenz, Germany, in the
American army of occupation.
Mrs. Boardman seems to have re
ceived a full measure of the patriotism
of the Father of his Country on her
natal day.

we were on the front lines when the
good news came. It was about 8
o'clock a. m., our time here, when we
got the orders to stop firing at 11
o'clock. It was hard to believe but
sure enough all hostilities stopped at
the hour outside of some crazy mar
ines who wanted to celebrate by shoot

This last drive Gerald, consisted of
eleven days of hard fighting. It was
hallow'een night and we relieved the
42nd division in the line near a small
town, St. George, which the Germans
held, but not long after we got there,
for the next morning November 1, we
went over the top and had that town
and two others in less than a few
hoars. Our battalion was ln the first
wave and I thought sore I was going
to get it that morning, for machine
gun bullets were whizzing all around
and their artillery fire was pretty
thick, but as God would have It I got

We were in the town of Mouson
when the drive stopped November 11.
We stayed there until the 17th., and
then followed up the Germans through

located on the Rhine.
We spent Thanksgiving in Mas

for us, for all we had for dinner was
monkey meat and hard tack. I think
Christmas will be a little different for
the meals are getting much better now.
Lately I have seen Joe Connolly and
many of the boys from home in the

have been having fine billets to live

ARCHBISHOP DOWLING.
Our hearty congratulations to Arch
bishop Dowllng upon his elevation to
the Metropolitan see of St. Paul. Seven
years ago Bishop Dowling came from
New England to the newly erected dio
cese of Des Moines. The west was
then new to him. He had been born
and educated in the east, and there
he had labored as a priest for nearly
twenty years. But he soon grew to
love the west and it soon learned to
love him. He caught its spirit at once,
and quickly became a leader in his
state. He became a part of the west,
and we are glad that his new appoint
ment does not take him away from it.
Bishop Dowling'8 seven years in Des
Moines have been marked by steady
progress in his diocese. The work of
organization was accomplished with a
thoroughness that showed executive
ability of a high order in the Bishop
to whom the work was entrusted. And
with that ability was coupled a sunny
disposition that won the hearts of
priests and people in his diocese. His
work in founding the Des Moines Col
lege through popular subscriptions,jUne
from the Catholic parishes of the dio-
cese fehowed his zeal for Christian edu
cation. He is himself a scholar of
rare attainments and he can appre
ciate what education means for our
Catholic young men.

the fact that for the responsibilities,
which necessarily accompany woman's
right to take active part in the govern

an adequate preparation. By show
ing that the subjects of the ordinary
curriculum may have a significance
