THE CAT

amongst the Italian residents of the
Silk City.
Governor on Catholic Freedom
Governor Baldwin of Connecticut at
the recent Council of the Congrega-
tional Churches in Kansas City, Mo-,
made the point that the churches
should not attempt to influence legis-
lation in favor of eugenic marriages
and such things, and, speaking of the
Catholic Church, he said: ut con-
tents itself mainly with looking after
the individual, and in laying down
rules for it's own members as to the
matters of religion; not in trying to
get them to work for rules to govern
the conduct of others" That is one
reason why the Catholic clergy do not
join is the movements that aim to
make people good by legislation.

The original plan of taking the
three Columbus caravels to the Pan.

and the largest, the Santa Maria, will
be the only one to make the trip. The

overhauled and returned to Chicago.
