WHAT CATHOLIC MEN COULD DO

Because Sunday next is the commu- ndon Sunday for the Holy Name society of the parish Rev. Nfgles P Calvin, preaching at the 1o.50 mass in St Pat ricl1's church Sunday directed atten- tention to what Catholic men could do if they were to seriously band themselves to give to and teach proper respect for the holy name of Jesus, The preacher declared they could make theirs the greatest organization in the country in point of numbers and influence.
 Father Calvin was considering the name which was given the Christ-Child in obedience to the commands of Gods angela name taught both Mary and Joseph by direct messengers from the Almighty. The name Jesus means Saviour. It is one to be spoken with respect. with confidence and with love. Respect, as the name given by God to the Man-God; confidence. because it is the only name whereby men can be saved with love, since the Saviour Who bore that name came, not to manifest love toward His friends, but toward His enemies.
 The outrageous use of this holy name in trivial conversation, the profane use of it by parents before their children whom they shock and scandalize, the bad habit of using it to emphasize the most offensive of street speech, these and similar faults were rebuked by the preacher Christ Himself declared that if His disciples would ask His Father anything in His name it should be grant

JUDGE HEWITT IS
 UPHELD IN MYSTIC CASE

The mandamus proceeding sought by Attorney Arthur T. Keefe of New London against Judge Albert F.. Hewitt to compel Judge Hewitt to file a bill of exception in connection with the trial of the summary process action of Max Bendett of Mystic against Manuel Sylvia of the same place in the Grton town court was dismissed by Charles B. Waller in the court of common pleas in New London Saturday morn ing. The proceeding was dismissed after the introduction of testimony by Judge Hewitt Attorney Thomas E.. Troland of New London, and Bendett, the plaintiff, in the original action.
 Judge Hewitt gave the testimony re- garding his charge to the jury in the summary process action which At torney Keefe alleged was faulty and also concerning the admissibility of some of the testimony introduced at the trial.
 Attorney Troland, who acted as clerk of the court testified 10 taking notes of exceptions and objections dul . ing the trial and Bendett was ques- toned about what took place at the trial concerning the nature Of the tes- timony.
 Attorney Keefe instituted the man damus proceedings against Judge Hew- itt after the trial of the summary pro- cess on the ground that Judge Hewitt refused to sign bill of exceptions. He made application to Judge Waller and the hearing was set for a week ago when it was continued.
 Following the testimony Judge Waller denied the action on the ground that Judge Hewitt had com piled ith the order and that he con sidered that the bill of exceptions which had been presented to the plain tiffs attorney was sufficient.
 Attorney Warren B. Burrows rep resented Judge Hewitt in the action.

moving strain will he over then. Money should be easier. prices lower and stocks of goods depleted. These arc tho stage settings for better busi- ness.
 Prices Decline.
 Every step down the ladder of in- fation brings business nearer to the solid ground of stable prices. On Nov. 1 Bradstrcet's index number of wholesale commodity prices was 2IA per cent below the peak reached in February. The number fell Ia per cent in October. These arc the big gcst declines for the index for any month anu for any year.
 World Exchanges.
 Worldwide financial stress is re- flected by further demoralization of European and South American ex- chanro rates. This Is drast!cally re- ducing the purchasing power of the currency of many nations in American markets. Our sales abroad are in danger of being checked at a time when an outlet for surplus stocks of cotton wheat and other commodities Is needed.
 Bank ocarings.
 Bank clearings measure tho coun- try's business activity. Last week they declined 45 per cent from the previous week and 13 per cent from the same week last year. This re- fleets lower prices as we'll as shrink ing trade.
