 Rev. John F.. Fay, pastor of the rhurch of Our Lady Of Mercy, preach cd forceful sermon at the mass at 10 clock vest tcrdaN morning on the subject of mismated marriages. His sermon was along he lines of talks by other clersymen on the subject. the divorce evil resulting from what might be called trial marriages. It might be concluded from Father Fay's talk that he believed the divorce evil to result as much from the fault of the parties to modern maria ses from the lax divorce and maria ge laws.
 He counselcd young women of to- day against undue admiration for young men simply because of the fact that they are "sports." He said that many times, in taking the annual census enumeration of his parishes. he has called at the homes of these so- called ''sports. and has been told by their mothers that they do not pay one cent of board. The fact that d young man siNcS a young woman a good time does not necessarily mean that he will provide a good home foI, after marriage. Father Fay said.
 In speaking to the young men of tl the ease of modern marriages young man frequently becomes infatuated with girl because she is the best dancer in town and for similar req sons. The fact that girl is proficient in the art of dancing. or that she has other like accomplishments. does not offer any guarantee that she will make q good hOuSekecppr. wife or mother, or that she will make a mans house q home. Father Fay said. He d"plor"d the Increasing mum btr of di- NOrrcS granted in. every state each wear and stated that the divurces r. suit many times from miSnlated mar ria"cs rather than from trouble after the marriage ceremony.

 Tn" fire department Was calico out shortly aftcr midnight to answer an alarm on t'armington avenue The blaze proved to be in inc F'arr7inston district but on the F'arulington side Of the town line. The local department arrived in time to sec a dwellirs house burning to the ground leaving but the cellar.
 II was asCcrtaincd thai the Farm ineton department was called but the fire was outside of the F'arminston borough district. For that reason the fire fighters in that town did not re Spord to the alarm and the local de part mont WAS ca lied.
 Several questions have arisen out of the situation. the principaI one be- ing, will tue Pennington officials allow claim from ihc local fire de pa tmen1 for their servircs in lighting hlazc i'll the town of tarmingtono
 The alarm in PlainvilIe was two blasts Of the fire whistle. People owning property in this district are in quandary and want 10 know how far the district extends. Fire district number two is listed as covering Cen tral Square, East Main street, and FarminSto on avenue. Since last nisht's octulfentF the local people are WOn- dering if il also includes uhe Far minSton district.
 PlainNille people are of the opinion that there should be d new and if,- proved system of listing the fire dis 1rlrtS and alarms. The fact seems to be that an alarm number under the present S& stem includes too much territory and when an alarm is sound ed 1t is a question as 10 the location of the fire. The opinion has been ex- pressed that the fire commissioners should give consideration to a rcca II system. IL is sa i'd that such a system would save COnsidcra ole expense by recalling the frcmeu when their serN- ices are found to he unnecessary It is also said thai it is unnecessary In many Case 10 call all the members ot the department. as in the cages of chimney fires when the blaze may be cXtinsuished easily by the use of chemicals.
