 It's curious that the discussion about | the end-seat hog doesn't lap over into 1 debate about the mid-seat porker. The
 mid-seat hog is the person who stub bornly sticks to the middle of the trol- | ley seat during rain storm and com 1 pels late corners to occupy the wet sec 1 tions at the ends. Nevertheless, it's

 July 31 is the date set for the>assem- bling of the conclaye at Rome. The I word originated in the custom of se-
 lecting a hall whose door could be se-
 curely fastened (''curn clavi" with q
 key) behind the voting cardinals until
 they agreed by q two-thirds vote on a I candidate. The Catholic World points
