FIR. R0TH'S RMON
Delivered Yesterday Morning
at Momauguin at Nine
O'clock Mass.
WORKED AMONG lEPERS
Out Of Band Of Fifty-two Sent Into AZ
RIGA Eight Became Totally
Blind.

At the Q o'clock mass yesterday
morning at Momauguin held under the
auspices of st. Roses church, an in
! teresting address was delivered by the
Rev. Father Roth, who was for several
years a missionary in Africa. Father
Roth ofliciated at the mass. In his adj
dress Father Roth related many inter-
estng anecdotes of his work among the
natives of Africa. Several years ago
Father Roth was one of a party of 50
missionaries sent into the heart of
Africa by the French government The
/ band was known as the white Faith
ers. +" and as parties of priests are still
| following the footsteps into Africa,
they are referred to now among the
Catholics of this country and Europe
as the "Original White Fathers" For q
number of years they labored In the
heart of Central Africa among natives
SO uncivilized that they 60 about
naked Father Roth also spent two
years among the lepers and some idea
of the hardships that the good priest
has gone through can be gained from
the fact that although the French gov.

Queer Excuse.

To the Editor of The Journal Courier.
The reason why we need to alI2hs
from a ear facing the rear Of the car
Is that we are watching our chance TO
cross the street back Of the car, and IT
we are alive at the end Of the trip we
must lose no time In turning around. II

than year in service in the near vi
cinity of the African leper colony, and
the longest torn of service French
soldier has been known to serve In
Africa Is is months. While they were
working among the lepers eight of the
fifty-two White Fathers, including
Father Roth himself became totally
blind Four of the priests went crazy
and of the fifty-two, there is at the
present time only two Of the priests
alive, Father Roth and comrade at
present stationed in France. Father
Roth told his audience Of the great heat
of the sand of the African desert which
was the direct cause of his being to-
tally blind and that seven Of his COM
rades also were totally blind when they
returned to civilization.
The services were conducted at the
Momauguin and Father Roth who will
spend the week with friend in South
Norwalk will relate further interesting
anecdotes of his work among the ma
tives at the 9 o'clock mass which will
be held at Momauguin next Sunday.

The agitation given to the question,

Already II Is noted by conductors that
fewer women are alighting that way
than a few days ago. Quite number
of the conductors seen yesterday stat

for all concerned and they hoped that
II would be continued Tor some time.

letters on the matter:

When ma comes homo from her club

set up about our wanderin' boy to night,
warranted to smoke a package Of cigar

beautiful an tender skin Of our darlin'

Now, amt got nothin' In the worl
agin prohibition or the anti-cigarette
law; when the State has law on it's
books, I'm for 1t ef it's good, bad or in
different. But what say is that sech
laws don't go to the root OF the matter;
they don't kill what you might call the
family boll-weevil. The trouble, when
thar's any, Is to be found right in tho

married is Miss Callie Mcleod, one of
the towns best and most popular young
