ROMAN CATHOLICS ORGANIZE
IMMIGRANT WELFARE WORK

For a long time Cardinal Farley OF
New York has been considering the prob
lem Of the spiritual needs of the
many immigrants of the Catholic
faith arriving in that city, and
settling there and in other parts Of his
diocese. AS a result he recently convened
a mass meeting of the members OF the
various charitable and fraternal socie-
ties and outlined plan for their welfare
which he had conceived. This is, in
brief, to form a diocesan organization
composed of all the members of the
above-named societies, who would CO.
operate with him. both by personal work
and by donations of funds, in uniting,
developing, and Strengthening the vari-
Gus activities existing in the diocese and
promoting others. These include day
nurseries and social settlements.
The meeting was most successful and
resulted in the organization Of THE
United Catholic Works" The cardinal
appointed a committee of prominent
churchmen, consisting of Right. Rev.
Thomas F. Cusack, auxiliary bishop;
Mgr. ]. F. Mooney md Mgr. NJ. ]. La
veiIe. Wears general; Mgr. P. ]. Hayes,
chancellor, six other monsignori, and
priests, to arrange a plan of action.
Cardinal Farley can be seen when it is
considered that New York is not only
our largest city, but Il is also the most
Catholic. Most of the immigrants, en-
bracing various nationalities, are Of that
faith. OF the Italians alone there are be-
tween 800, 900 and 10000 in. the city, in ad-
dftion to large numbers in other parts
of the diocese. The greatest work has
been done among the Irish and Germans,
but now special attention will be devoted
to the other races. The cardinal has al
ready done much along the lines which
will be followed by the new society, but
has been badly handicapped through lack
of workers as well as funds. One gen.
tleman has contributed 5000 10 begin the

medical practitioners now recognize that
coryZa is a bacterial infection, a goodly
minority insist that exposure to the

respiratory infections. This tradition is
as old as the history OF medicine-but
age does not always mean truth. Hip

the patient with chronic bronchitis. But
that weather conditions of any kind are
capable OF setting up an acute coryZa

possible TO prove. The practical point
is that whatever predisposing factors
may be necessary to prepare the soil
for infection, these factors are certain

from those which favor diphtheria. For

While the child may not seem in danger
at any time, the infectiousness of the
diphtheria is none the less a menace to
the child's associates. Were disinfec-

universal omission, a very prolific source
OF sporadic diphtheria epidemics might
be thus eradicated.

Modern advances in our knowledge Of

acute coryza as simple" One never
