centage of 1917.
In Illinois out of a population of
4,49S,734 persons, 10 years of age or

Mrs Sewer called upon the ladies
present to give their ideas about this
movement for girls dormitory
Mrs. H. p. Drought made short
talk in which she heartily endorsed
this commendable work and said that
the Paulist Fathers had done wonders
for the girls and boys of the university
and that any help that could be given
them was just about the best work
possible for Catholic women to be en-
gagged in. She said the Newman club
for Catholic boys at the university
was splendid society, and was do
ing much toward exerting a whole
some influence on the members.
Miss Essie Crawford told of her OBJ
servation, when attending the univer-
sity last summer. She said that all
the denominations were doing more
for their girls and boys than the Cath
olics and that the single handed ef-
forts of the Paulist Fathers needed
the cooperation Of every Catholic in
the State.
Mrs. Sewer announced that she
would start subscriptions for this first
purpose of girls dormitory with a
$1,000 donation. Adjournment then
followed, the league to meet for per-

cational League of Texas.
Mrs. Sewer called the meeting to

planned the great good that could he

expressed the hope that the fruits Of
the meeting would go sounding down
the ages" She said that she had been
inspired to organize this society by
Kew. John Handley Of Austin, and that
the first work of the league would be
to build a dormitory for Catholic girls
at the university. She said there was
no need that was more imperative
Than to take care of the Catholic girls
VINO attended the university. That
while the Paulist Fathers were doing
great work in this line for the girls
and boys, that they could not do it all.
and that it was right and just that
the mothers of the State should come
to their aid in a material manner.
While this dormitory for girls is the
nrst work Of the league she said that
as soon as it was completed other
aims and enterprises relative to Cath
ole education would be taken up.
Organization was then perfected and

 Grave indications as to what the uI- timate result of the trip will be was forecasted by the frequently heard re- mark, New York for mine. Home was never like that" That some of these children, petted and feted in New York will never again be satisfied to re- main in Lawrence was evident, and it is probable that some of them will not long remain at the parental homes in the textile city, but will get back Co New York and all it's possibilities at the first opportunity. That some Of them did not care a rap about getting back to their parents in Lawrence was evident to those who paid more than superficial attention to the remarks they made
 The children were plentiflly sun pied with fruit and candy and were enjoying the trip from New York to Boston as much as they have any Of their many pleasant experiences since they left home a place that did not not seem to appeal to many of them IS one to which they were excption- ally anxious to get back.

ADDITIONAL CARRIER
Granted Postmaster Dimmck-Clar- ence o. Barrows Gets Place and Covers Route Today.

SaturGay morning Postmaster (: H. Dimmick stated that he had received notification Friday evening from the pestoffice department at Washington, D. C., that his application for an ad- ditignal carrier had been granted, te take effect Monday, April l.
 The news was received with joy at the local office Since the new office was established about fourteen months ago the mail has increased and much time in the aggregate has been lost by the carriers because of the extra distance they have had to travel to supply patrons.
 1'he additional carrier was primarily sought because of the need for more collections throughout the business dis trict in order that early mails might not be missed At times Postmaster Dimrnick as well as Assistant Post master George r. Spencer were com pelled to make collections In the bus mess district themselves.
 Congressman Edwin w. Higgins IS directly responsible for securing the additional regular carrier for Willl- mantle, as he got busy some time since with the department and pointed out the necessity for the carrier so forci- bly, that 1t was granted upon his rec Ommendation.
 Clarence o. BarrOws, who since June 1907 has been a substitute car rier, has received the appointment as a regular carrier and will assume his duties this CMonday) morning and be known as carrier No. g.
