DRIVING INSTRUMENTATION
 WORK IN THE STATE

AS result of the 77 local committees on AmericaniZation which have been established throughout Connecticut by the state department of Americaniza- tion, the department has announced that more than 500 active American ization workers are now in direct con- tact with the states foreign born population. The workers carry on activities in direct cooperation with the department, which is purely state organization and is not connected in any way with any other Americaniza- ation institution. A bill providing for the permanency of the department is before the general assembly.
 To establish and maintain direct and continuous contact between the de- partmnt of Americanization and it's local committees throughout the state the department has field director, H. R. Branche, of Norwich, and a field assistant, Daniel Radon, Of Hartford. MT. Branches contact is with the local committees, which he organizes and assists. He also perfects the CO., ordination with local committees of all other local organizations interested in Americanization. He was formerly 1 secretary of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce and acting secretary of the
  MT. Radon is the connecting link 1 between the department and the for 1 eign-born themselves. He sepaks 1 Polish, Russian, Yiddish, German and 1 English. and also understands severa of the Slovak languages. The partic. l ular mission of MT. Radom is to or 1 ganize support of the A>>erl2af4iza tior I movement among the foreign born by l stimulating their attendance at nigh l schools and their interest in all activi- 1 ties conducive to loyal United State. l citizenship. His usual method is ts 1 visit the presidents and other officers l of foreign societies and persuade then 1 to hold mass meetings of the natoinali 1 ties they represent Mir Radon an( 1 other speakers then address thes, 1 meetings in the native language of tht | audience.

THROWS UP CASE BECAUSE
 OF JUDGES RULINGS

fingered because Judge Charles B. Waller objected to his method of questioning a witness, Attorney George c. Morgan withdrew from a case in which he was counsel for the defend ant during it's trial in the court of common pleas in New London Satur- day morning. The case was that of James Doherty against James Doher- ty, Jr., father and son, of Waterford, for trespass of cattle in the plaintiff s garden. It was a defendants appeal from the decision of the late Justice of the Peace Peter Taylor awarding the plaintiff damages of S104.0S
 The trial of the case was started in the morning and after the plaintiff had finished his direct testimony Attorney Morgan started to cross examine him. Judge Waller objected to Attorney Morgan's method of conducting the questioning and when the court order ed him to cease the latter turned to his client and declared that he would withdraw from the case.
 Judge Waller affirmed the decision of the lower court and gave verdict for the amount of the suit and costs.

VIRTUE OF MODERATION IS
 CATHOLIC CHURCH TEACHING

In continuance of his series of ser mons on the seven sources of sin, col lated by the Catholic church under the general head of Seven Deadly Sins, Rev. Peter J. Cuny, at St. Patrick s church, concluded Sunday at the high mass his sermons on gluttonY, speci- ttcally on intemperance, dealing with the subject of Moderation. This is the Vlrtue-or habit of doing good which the church has always coun- selied, the middle course between ty- ranny, or might, on the one hand, and license on the other. It is the avoid ance Of extremes, to which lnankind seems ever inclined to swing, and is quite as applicable to the sin of eat ing death as to that of drinking l to-death.
 Moderation was contrasted with to-
 tai abstinence, the latter T practice which the Catholic church counscls, but does not command This, al l though the late pontiff, Leo XIII,
 warmly commended the total absti-
 hence of the North American states | and the church is ever ready to foster | this salutary practice
 Consideration was given the threC | types of total abstainers-the first
 where this virtue is combined witt the strictly religious life in it's high est form, in absolute obedience tc Gods laws, than which there can bt no higher earthly state; the second
 where man practices total abstinence because convinced that by so doins he is kept from other sins, and lastly the type of the individual who hai never been tempted to excessive ust Of alcoholic liquors, never could be yet abstains becacse of what h. thinks the obligation of giving gooC example. The last form is good, if i does not incite in the individual com
 piacency, a pharisaical sense of right eousness. the holier- than others feel ing, in a word, a swollen head, Whicl has a tendency to result in concei which ends in fancied superiority t
