 than the one that he proposed through the mediation committee
 MT Perkins has spoken frequently of the fairness of various propositions presented us and to date he has re- fused to stand on his own proposition az offered to us through the media ton board He must have considered this proposition fair or he would not have proposed it. We feel that if MT. Perkins does not answer our belief, in not only our own minds. but in the minds of the public. who have followed this controversy, that Mir. Perkins hand was the hand that fail ed to engineer the special session of the 2egEsl nture. If Mir.

 she moved her business to her present location.
 When the steamers Block Island,
 Ella and Gypsy were running on the river all the pies and cakes used on the boats were furnished by Mrs. Robinson, and people who made trips on those boats will remember how good those pies tasted. Not only those people, but all those who bought pas try and bread at the bakery know the kind of material that was in them and regret that Mrs Robinson has decided to retire from the business
 Mrs. Robinson says that when she started in business the best bread flour could be bought for A per barrel. and the last barrel of -four purchased by her cost $12.5o. Pastry flour at that time cost B per barrel, and lard was to be had at cents per pound. where now 1t costs just 10 times as much. Butter and eggs also could be had at third of the cost of today. Mrs, Robinson when she first started the bakery business used two pounds of dough in a 10 cent loaf. and today there is only one pound.
 During her Is years in her present location she has had just three assist ants to take care of the trade. Charles Frederick Spalding has been at the l bakery for IS years. Miss Katherine White has been with her for the pa st 12 years. and Mrs. Lewis Oat has been with her 13 years, first working for her when she was little girl in school.

PRAYING FOR SUCCESS
 OF CHiLDREN'S CRUSADE

During July, the many thousands of members composing the Apostleship of Prayer tthe League of the Sacred Heart of Jesus) fin the Catholic churches of Norwich. as throughout the world, have been praying for the success of the Childrens Crusade. What this means is explained in the League Leaf1et. the monthly guide of each member. which says:
 In the early part of the thirteenth century, when the hearts of Catholics were still yearning for the recovery of the Holy Land, an idea sprang up in Europe of orga nizing Children's Crusade. What could not be accom- pished by force of arms was to be brought azout by the innocent chi1- dren. Out from the cities and vil- lages of France and Germany they streamed to the number of fifty thous- and, going forth to Jerusalem. to de- liver the Holy Sepulchre. The pro jcct resulted in disaster. Some of the children succeeded in finding their way back to their homes, but many saddest of all. some were seized and sold as slaves to the Moors.
 The spirit of enthusiasm for the cause of Christ is still alive in child dren's hearts and so in recent years in many cities of France a new Cru sade for children has been organized with a view to enroll all the little ones in a great spiritual army, pray ing and working fer the salvation of souls and the welfare of church and country. Those who enlist in thie army offer each day to the Sacred Heart. Others promise weekly, or at least monthly. communion. Others again. pledge themselves to frequent communion, going several times in the week. and even every day. Resides prayers and coTnmunions the little sol diers offer up their hours of work thei riessons. their silence in class and countless little acts of self conquest and modification.
