was erected through the efforts of the
Laymen's League for Retreats and So
cial studies, of which Cardinal Farley
is honorary president.
The foundation Of the present Lay
mems league was laid about three
years ago at a gathering of a small
group of Catholic men. who. knowing
the benefits which had followed from
the Weekend retreat movement in
Europe felt that the time was propit-
ious for its introduction in America.
Their aim was the establishment of a
permanent house of retreats near New
York city, under The direction of the
Jesuit Fathers, and the inauguration
among Catholic men OF the practice
of making a retreat once a year.
With Cardinal Farley as honorary
president and the bishops of Brooklyn.
Newark and Trenton as honorary vice
presidents, the work has grown far be-
yond the expectations Of its found.

WHlTTINGToN AND HIS CAT.

Every boy and girl has probably
heard the story of Dick Whiting ton,
who sat down on q milestone and heard
Bow Bells tell him that he would one
day be lord mayor of London. and of
his famous cat that he is said To have
brought To London with him and sold
TO one of the kings that ruled i'm far.
away Africa. which rid the country OF
rats and mice and brought Whiting
ton such rich rewards
Like so many other stories this is
simply the English version OF a very
old legend. because the same story OF
the same lucky cat is TO be found
in the literature Of many countries
long before the time of Whittington.
Each country has its own hero to hang
the story on, just as all modern stories
are told of some well known man or
tokes are at the expense of some par
ticular race.
We make the lrishman the butt of
all Stories of a certain class. and the
German tile butt of another sort. In
Russia Americans are the people of
whom most of the silly things are told.

ton as follows;
About a year ago the central group

their organization that the officials
who were most expert i'm the various
branches of the business were brought

tees found i'm the various states in

ganilation possible. by practices and
enabling the companies TO better care
for the generous increase i'm BUSINESS
which the telephone industry has been
enjoying for the past few years. out
Of this central organization has do-
velcped this new plan, which went in
TO effect July :.
1T was decided that greater elH-
cheney in administration could be pro-
cured by an organization which places
an executive, having supervision over
the various departments, In charge of
q company rather than by having it's
various department heads report direct
10 specialists in their departments at
Chicago as during the past year.
Necessity for direct supervision
from Detroit is further increased by
the necessity for close contact with
The commissions and other utility
governing bodies within the state. and
also on account Of a very large m
crease, not only in the telephones con
nected directly with the system, but
also in the large number Of ndepen-
dent telephone companies which arc
entering into connecting arrangements
with the Bell system
This new FORM of organization
makes no change in the personnel or

against militarism, was given by Dr.
David Starr Jordan before the Amerl.

day.
In his address, which was the feat.
