companies in the state. Under Super

give applicants the advantage of a
lower rate because of age rating. This
is discriminatory, Revelle says.

Knights of Columbus.

On Sunday December 2Ist, at the
Lyric Theatre, there will be held, under
the auspices of tine Knights of Columbus
of Baltimore City, an affair that is as
meritorious and as full of that great
ChriStiaA spirit that is so characteristic of
the Knights of Columbus at any func-
ton, event or work that is carried on in
this order. 1t is the event of the Santa
Claus Party, as it is shown to the men,
berS of the order.
On this occasion the orphans from the
various Catholic institutions oft the city are
conveyed to the Lyric in special cars, un.
der the guidance of the Sisters and the
members of the order that are assigned
to this work. There they are entertained
by the "Movies," and a musical enler-
tainment by the Saint Marv's Industrial
School Band; after' (which His Eminen e,
Cardinal Gibbons; His Grace. Bishop
Corrigan; His Excellency, Governor
Goldsborough, and His Honor Mayor
Preston, will say few words to the
Youngsters. The curtain is then raised,
and those that have the privilege OF being
there see sight that would touch a
heart of flint To describe the express

ed by these little ones at this sight must
be heard to be appreciated
1t is to be regretted that this sight can
not be enjoved by every one, but the
orphans and the members of the order
tax the theatre to its full capacity.
If it were possible to allow the whole
Catholic population of the city to wit
ness this scene, and it would be a splen-
did opportunity to impress upon them, or
some of them, at least the wonderful
work that some of the Catholics of Balt-
more City are doing, for we all know
that the burden is not borne by all; there
is plenty of room for improvement; there
are plenty of charities that go unno.
ticed, plenty of opportunities to do good,
but all are not doing their duty to their
fellow man.
