it becomes an invisible giant, working wonders for the cleansing
and brightening of the home and the lessening of household labor.
Borax is a marvelous aid to soap wherever soap is used. It's the
Borax with the soap that does the work because Borax is the greatest
water softener known to man, and soap works better in soft water.

Handled More Raw
Gold Than Any Other
Person in Alaska
Cordova, Alaska, June 17. E. E.
Beraud. of Fairbanks, is believed
to hold the distinction of having in
dividually handled more raw gold
than any other in the history of
Alaska. During the eleven years he
has spent in work as assayer for the
First National Bank ot" Fairbanks,
Beraud has assayed f 45.000.000
worth of the precious yellow metal
for which men have yielded up their
lives in the silent places. The ag
gregate weight of this metal was
eighty-eight tons. After a visit to
Paris, he says, he will come back
to work in the gold dust once more.
CATHOLICS ISSUE
FIRST BULLETIN
Record Leading Features of
the Work of National
War Council
Washington, D. C., June 17.—The
i National Catholic War Council, com
posed of the fourteen archbishops of
the United States, and functioning
through an adminstratlve commit
j tee, and a committee on- special war
activities, has issued the first num
! ber of a monthly bulletin, of which
j Michael Williams is editor. Nearly
twenty thousand organizations of
i Catholic laymen and laywomen have
! been co-ordinated and are now di
rected by this organization.
; The bulletin records the leading
| features of the work of the council,
1 which acts in close co-operation with
I the United States government, and
i with other welfare organizations.
| The varied nature of the work is
shown by the articles in this first
; number. The Rt. Rev. Peter J.
| Muldoorr, bishop of Rockford, chair
| man of the administrative commit-
I tee, is the author of the leading
1 story, which reviews the past work
1 of the council and outlines the im-
I portant activities in the field of so
cial reconstruction which lie ahead.
In the course of his article he quotes
from the recent letter of Pope
Benedict XV, to the American
bishops, in which they are exhort
ed to carry on the work, and place
it on a permanent basis through two
commissions, to be appointed at the
annual meeting of the bishops. One
I of these commissions is to deal with
social questions arfd the other with
educational problems.
The work of the Knights of Co
lumbus is reviewed by John D. Ken
nedy, and the Catholic program of
reconstruction by Michael Williams.
Miss May M, Murphy tells the story
of the National Service School for
Women established at Washington,
while a number of other articles
deal with tho overseas women work
ers: Catholic co-operatior? with the
Boy Scout movement: the rehabili
tation school for disabled fighters,
and the hospital social service.
There are also brief reviews of the
various publications issued by the
council, the chief of which, the pro
gram of reconstruction issued by the
four bishops of the administrative
committee has attracted national at
tention in the press. It is regarded
by social experts as one of the most
important pronouncements on so
cial reform ever issued in this coun

Germans Planned to Land
Troops on Isle of Wight
london. June 17.—Secrets of the
war work of the British secret serv
ice now revealed show that German
spies or agents of the German gov
ernment were making active prep
arations, even before the beginning
of hostilities to use the Isle of Wight
as a landing place for German,
I forces and for the bombardment of
Portsmouth. One of the first pre
cautions taken in August, 1914, was
to place close restrictions on per
sons trying to land upon or leave
the island. From Harwich to Hamp
shire. along the south and south-
I east coasts of England, nests of Ger
| man spies and agents were engaged
i in desperate missions, in the early
days of the war. One of the urgent
I tasks of the British secret service
j was to stamp out the operations of
I these men.

An attempt by Mr. Fowler. Lack

defeated in the House after a dra
matic appeal by Mr. Flynn, Elk,
sponsor for the bill. Mr. Flynn said
that the motion was an "unheard
ot and discourteous" action undci
taken in the absence of the sponsor.
He declared he was out of the cham
ber when it went in. "There is no
good reason for this action. I had
this bill postponed last week, when
there was a light House, and I pro
pose to call it up in due time and
have it considered fairly and in or
der. I appeal to the members of
the House to stand by me in this
matter." „ , „

Willson Bill Goes
to Governor Again
The Willson bill repealing the
nonpartisan election feature of the
third-class city code was sent back
to Governor Sproul as it was when
recalled last month by action of the
House, concurred in by the Senate.
An unsuccessful effort fas made in
the House to reconsider the action
and later a resolution recalling the
bill again was defeated, 132 to 53,
after much debate.
The resolution sending back the
bill, which has been on the Speak
er's desk since recalled, was among
the first business items of the night
session and went through without
much attention being given to it.
Some time later Mr. Wallace, Law
rence, moved to reconsider the ac
tion, but Mr. Simpson, Allegheny,
raised the point of order that the
resolution had left the House and
was sustained. Mr. Wallace de
clared the bill had been "kicked
out" of the Governor's office and
that the resolution reviving it had
gone through the House "pretty
fast." He asserted very few mem
bers knew what they were voting
on and that the third-class cities did
not Want the bill.
Mr. Wallace next moved that the
bill be recalled from the Senate and
Mr. Simpson again raised a point of
order, but the Speaker declined to
sustain him. Mr. Wallace said all
he wanted was "fair play," but Mr.
Simpson said It was all wrong to
act one way and then try to undo it
in halt an hour, especially after the
Senate had concurred. Mr. Millar.
Dauphin, made his first oratorical
efTort, saying that the House had
given due consideration to the bill,
and Mr. Willson said the bill had
been recalled for amendments
which it had been found unneces
sary after passage of Mr. Wallace's
own bill had become a law.

RAMSEY BILL IS
PASSED ALONG
Measure Adds to Its Legisla
tive Experience in the
Lower House
The Ramsey bill defining any
liquor containing more than two
three-fourths per cent, of alcohol an
intoxicant was passed in the House
early this morning after having
been defeated and reconsidered a
week ago. The measure now goes
to the Senate. Governor Sproul has
said such matters were for Congress
to act upon.
The bill received 107 votes, or
three more than required to pass it.
The negative vote was ninety.
Mr. Ramsey called up the bill and
made an extended argument for it,
contending that the bill would give
the poor man his beer and would
be good for the welfare, health and
commercial interests of the State.
Pennsylvania, he said, already has a
good enforcement act and scien
tific men have demonstrated that
two and three-fourths per cent, al
cohol is not intoxicating. Mr. Wal
lace, Lawrence, argued against the
bill, saying that forty-five States had
ratified the Federal amendment and
that it was not a legislative subject
for the States. Alcohol, he asserted,
has been proved by medical men
to be an intoxicant, no matter in
what quantity taken. Such a bill,
said he, is against the Federal
amendment and in volation of the
Federal Constitution. Mr. Palmer,
Schuylkill, took issue with Mr. Wal
lace and attacked his citations of
decisions. Mr. Ramsey rejoined
that the bill was to become opera
tive when the Federal amendment,
not war-time prohibition, would be
effective. Mr. Phillips, Clearfield,
opposed the bill, saying regulation
was a matter for Congress. On sug
gestion of Mr. Nickerman, Alle
gheny, Mr. Wallace withdrew a
point of order that the bill was
unconstitutional.
Mr. Jordan, Lawrence, jocularly
referred to Mr. Ramsay as a Ga
briel frying to raise the dead and
said the House should "quit fool
ing" with liquor legislation. Ala
bama and Georgia, said he, had
tried two per cent, liquor and found
it intoxicating, being forced to re
duce it. Mr. Whiteman, Westmore
land, said, a Republican Congress
had refused to pull "beer and light
wine chestnuts" out of the fire and
there was no reason for the Legis
lature to do it now. The vote fol
lowed and when announced there
was a rush of the liquor lobby to the
telegraph and telephone offices.
In the affirmative votes were
Bechtold, Hiekernell, Millar, Miller
an" Zimmerman.
"No" votes were cast by Beckley,
Bower, Bowman, Brooks. Cook, Cor-
bin, Benchoff, MagiU, Grlest, Shel
lenberger, Crum, Showalter, Wood
ruff and Commerer.
Mr. Ulsh was absent.
It is not believed the Senate will
pass the bill. The Governor it is
said, will veto it if it does.
