HEALTH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
One of the Beneficial Statutes Passed
 by the Last Legislature.

The 1915 Connecticut legislature, which did many unnecessary things, including the uncalled for appropria- tion of S42.000 to party leaders for the revision of the statutes, hardened un- to the voice of the people in the mat ter of school inspection and put a law among the public acts (which haven't been printed yet. and only a few peo- pie know what they are, although ef- fective since June D, making it obli- gatory upon towns of over 10000 in- habitants to have the health of school children looked after by regular in- spection.
 The benefits of medical inspection have been talked long and loud. It is asserted, and statistics bear out the claim. that many children with only minor troubles which could readily be remedied fail to progress in their school work The contention is the school work would be more effective and satisfactory if the health of all pupils was the best possible. Eye and throat troubles which are classed as insignificant, but which have such an effect on the physical and mental con- dition of children who are studying as to retard their progress, are particu- larly common.

AUTOS MET HEAD ON.
Car Driven by Woman Game Down Broadwayd Sunday Afternoon an

Two automobiles met head-on at the corner of Main street and Broad way on Sunday afternoon at 2:10 o'clock, and if they had been going a bit faster there would have been an accident more serious than occurred. Bith were good sized cars, one driven by a woman coming down Broadway and the other owned and driven by Herbert Hommel of 625 Main street, coming along Main street from GFranklin square. Instead of keeping to the right and going around Traffic Officer Morgan went to her left and the man in the car going the other way tried to evade her by turning to his left. They met in front of the United Cigar stare and locked wheels and the fsenuder of the NewtesStay and the fender of the MT. Hommells car was smashed.
 If the woman had kept to the right around Ofacer Morgan, or if the man had kept placidly on his way, the call lision would not have occurred, but the blame seemed to attack the form as she violated the traffic rule. Bly, islanders said that man named Dis co. But the number, 20,8s0 is not in the new directory.

FAITH WITHOUT GOOD WORKS
Does Not Suffice to Salvation christ's Words Recalled by Rev. F.. J. Muster.

The summer schedule of services at St. Patrick's church began Sunday at the usual hours, but low mass at 10.30 was read, instead of the high mass with the customary choir sing ing. There was no vespers Sunday afternoon.
 Rev. Myles P. Calvin said the last mass, the sermon being delivered by Rev. Francis J. Muster. It was the seventh Sunday after Pentecost, the epistle read in the mass being from St. Paurs epistle to the Romans. VI 1923. The days gospel was Matt. VII 15-21. Father Kusters theme was suggested by the phrases, By their fruits ye shall know them" and "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit"
 Hsi subject was Faith Without Good Works, as suggested by a later verse in the same gospel, Not every one who saith to Me. Lord. Lord. shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who doeth the will of My Father Whoh is in heaven, he shall enter the kingdonR of heaven"
 The preacher impressed the point that each of his hearers should not be content to have faith alone. but should aim to do good works, for three req sons; in gratitude to God, Who. out of His goodness and through no merit or vontion Of each person has given him existence in this world; because of the inestimable privilege of being member of the Catholic church, and because each has the blessed assur- ance of the reward of eternal life if he do Gods will in this world
 Repeating each morning the prayer which Christ Himself taught, begin ming, Our Father, Who art in heaven" |" Catholics say Thy will be done" The preacher reminded his auditors that there should be strict adherence to this during the day: all actions being in accord with the will of God. Mere faith is not enough; there must be good works. Not every one who saieth to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who doeth the will of My Father Who is in heaven, he shall enter the king dom of heaven."
 the fact that keeping Gods com mandments should be the privilege and happiness of those born in a church which watches over them from earliest infancy even to the grave, providing them with sacraments and graces deSagned to be to them wea- pons against every temptation. As blameworthhy as those in the cloth ing of sheep who are really ravenous wolves, are those who are Catholics in name and in faith. but whose works are evil.
