"The financial assistance of the catholic bishop of Chicago made pos- sible the building of the road around Calvary cemetery," said Maurice W. Kozwinski, chairman of the publicity committee, In behalf of the associa- tion. It is the Intention to double the present wad around the cemetery as soon as tho lake shore protection is completed.

In the past motorists have kept to the east side of tlie Northwestern rail- road, following Green Bay road to the north of Glencce and then turning over to Sheridan road. In this rente they have had bad hills, sharp turns and poor bridges. With the new concrete road, opened to traffic last week, the road to the west offers a route that eliminates this section which contains so many automobile "hazards." It is a particularly appropriate time to open this nsw highway when there Is a largo amount of automobile traf- fic between Wilmette and Ravinia. The new road was opened on July 19 by George M. Qulnlan, superintend- ent of highways of Cook county, and the New Trier highway commission- ers, Wendell Phillips, Frank P. Col- lier and Fred oagor. / At present the" Deerfield township officials are concreting a section of Green Bay road north of the county line, which now makes necessary the return to Sheridan road to reach Ra- vinia Park. As soon as the new Deer- fleld township section Is completed, Green Bay road will offer a good route all the way from Olencoe to Highland Park. The accompanying map gives a good description of the new route. PEKIOI HABIT IS At AID TO Dr. Hingeley Points Out That It Is Not Charity, but Matter of Good CHURCH IS OBLIGATED 4.

The International Church tension congress is in session at the Panama-Pacific exposition and is busy working out details for rais- ing money for the pensions. Dr. Joseph B. Hingeley and J. T. Barbner Smith, Evanston, are In at- tendance. Dr. Hingeley delivered an address on "The Pension Habit." Dr. Hingeley said in part: "The pension habit has taken pos- session of the minds of the American people. Railroads, banks, telegraph companies, express companies, mnnu- facturing establishments, schools, states, and cities are providing for the old age of employes; not as a charity, but impelled by the higher law of the eternally Just Tho clergymen who went out to preach\ righteousness on pitiful pay are tho Mat to share In tho results of principles which they,enun- ciated, and It is delightful to know .that tho conscience of thoughtful Christians has been aroused and that a determination exists to provide rea- sonably for the o|d age ot the min- isters. Pensions increase Efficiency. 'All the motives which are hack ot other pension systems apply to a retir- ing competency for the old age of min- isters. Railroads justify the millions they expend in pensions on the ground ot higher efficiency. States justify mothers* and children's pensions on the ground of. economy, believing that the mother can best rear her own chil- dren and that to provide for them In the mother's home Is cheaper for the state than the maintaining of great institutions, which break the family ties, aad tend to make of the children as they grow up untrained, a liability Instead of an asset to tho state. Edu- cational Institutions believe that better work from clearer-minded men la to be obtained When the scholar can de- vote his time aad talent to his task and cap invest his earnings In his own better equipment, because the school has provided for the rainy day. Mo- tives of the higher altruism run through all these plana and the spirit ot Chrlstly care for others. The minister ts singled out among all as tho man who engages in his work not to earn a living nor to gain a competency or wealth. His Is a vi- csrlous life. Ho seeks to serve. Con- secrated laymen who believe In Christ and His cause tell tho saialater that It he win devote his life and work to the good of Christ's kingdom, they will provide a living for himself and his family. On their call and promises ho makes a lifetime consecration and life- long vows. Christian layman are wak- tng up to the fact that n life of conse- cration and work on the part ot the preacher involves a Ufa support, and that lotliamont does not release cither the minister or the layman from his contractual vows. Aa Dr. Cooper of Boston said to the laymen. 'Ton took aa for life; then see an through.' Tho church la responding to this challenge. Would Improve Mini.iry. "Any motive that would apply to any other form of pension applies with srortor force to the Moslem of mtoto terial pensions.

In speaking of too groat work being done by Henry Sienklewlcz, tho famous Polish author, aa chair- man ot the European National Polish Relief commission, and of a letter he had written President Wilson. In which America was catted "the eon science ot too world," said that the people in tola country were sympa- thetic enough and willing to aid in cases of real need, but rather lax In Informing themselves aa to that need. Now that more general information as to tho groat stress to suffering Poland has boon disseminated, con- tributions wore becoming more gen- eral. That tho need Is great Is pointed out In an editorial In Free Poland, in which It Is said: •Yolandt TUMI >â-  no Poland. There's but a Polish victim under the talons and claws of tho eagle and the bear. Once great among the greatest, Poland is a mere memory, a nation ground Into the dust by foreign heels, subdued, smothered by the merciless power of foreigners, her territory the prize of foreigners, her nationality perishing under the oppression of for- eigners, her sons slaughtering sack other in behalf of foreigners, nothing hers save submission, hopeless. "Again is that fair land rod with too gore of fratricidal strifeâ€"fratricidal strife for too foreigner. Westward, across hill, valley and steppe, comes Russia's horde, and In the van Poles to slaughter Poles. Eastward comes Prussia and Austria, joint partakers ot Polish soil, with Poles in the van to slaughter Poles. The Polo fights well, dies willingly at command. When Britain grapples Germany the civilized world shudders, weeps, cries out against the crime and folly ot it. When nationless Pole takes his broth- er by the throat at command ot those who outraged, divided Poland; too devil puts his bands before his eyes to shut out the monstrous infamy. "Already Poland waa a cemetery, but today they're putting corpse on corpse. Here's a mound ot corpses halt-covered. The torn limbs protrud- ing are those Ot Austrian Poies. Over there is a cemetery containing the bodies of 2,000 little children who wore shot to death or starved to death! From east to west, from West to east, war's bloody scythe mowed and mowed again. And, today 16,000,000 Polish workmen and women, and chil- dren gnaw roots and the bark of trees, and shiver in caves, swamps and thickets."
