Massachusetts, Brewers Plan

THE liquor interests have not

has been decided once and Tor all are
not familiar with the facts cray
says. THE country is today pelhs
governed by constitutional as well as
wartime. prohibition. The so-called
Volstead act provides for the enio'c-
ing of prohibition.
The vital question at stake now IL
Just what the word Intoxicating, as
applied to liquor, means In the eyes
of Congress and possibly the supreme
Court. The Eighteenth Amendment
to the Constitution does not denne
what Intoxicating liquor means. The
Nolstead Act provides that beer In
excess of one-half of l per cent al
cohol content shall not be manufac-
tured. sold. etc.
The Supreme Court has not de-
cided what Intoxicating liquor Is.
What il has decided Is that the Vol
Congress might determine that 2.1o
per cent is the maximum"
The liquor interests expect to ME
test cases later. They will attempt
to prove that 2.75 per cent beer is
not intoxicating. The New York case
which will be entered by Elihu Root,
and possibly others, Will, no doubt,
go up to the United States Supreme
Court.
Several bills have been filed in the
Massachusetts, Legislature TO permit
the manufacture of 2.75 per cent and
in some cases per cent beer. Those
measures. however. are entirely de-
pendent upon what the Federal au-
thorities fix as a minimum.
Gray took the occasion to point to
the sweeping victories for liquor In
recent Massachusetts elections as ar
indication of what the people as a
whole demand.

THE WEAvERs, AS MOTHERS.

In 1859, Velasquez painted an elo- quent masterpiece of the Impression ist- school, called 'The WeaVerS Gas Hilanderas). These Spanish mothers, young and old, of the peas ant class, are weaving in the interior of the Royal Tapestry factory at Madrid, Spain. The co1ors are the brightest Ve1asquez ever used, the painting being perhaps the most sum mary and impressionistic. The wo- men of toll are at the looms and spinet. The modelling of the young woman in front, on whom the light falls, is marvellous. The picture shows two rooms, the rear more brightly illuminated What thoughts are weaving into the priceless tapestries from these mothers, hands! Hopes for their families; love; resistance, tragedy, mayhap. Indeed, the sample" tapestry that hangs before their eyes contains not half of the diapason of life within their hearts.

DIOCESAN BUREAU ESTABLISHED AT
 HARTFORD
Rev. Judge and Miss Boylan Hold Executive
 Offices.

Catholic Charitable bureau work has proven to be such a grand sue cess in the Hartford diocese it was found to be necessary to form a nuc- leas to coordinate the work of all the bureaus. During the last few months the Dioscean Bureau of So- cia1 Service was established at PA Main street, Hartford. Of special in terest to Bridgeporters will this bur eau be, because Rev. Matthew J. Judge, who is1 especially well-known in this city, has been chosen director of charities of the bureau in Hart ford, also Miss Marguerite Boylan, formerly executive secretary here, at the Bridgeport bureau, has been chosen executive city of the Dioscean bureau.
 The work of the bureau in Hart ford will be to coA or dinate the work of the various social services bureaus and to establish new service centers in the large cities of the Hartford Dioscese. Already two bureaus have been established, one in Bridgeport and another in Hartford.
 The Bridgeport Catholic charitable bureau was established in January, 1916. Its progress has been almost marvellous. At present there are IlIIy volunteer workers ana ten 'pa1d persons connected with the center Two hundred and fifty babies and school children are cared for durnig the day and classes have been form ed in various arts for 150 working girls. Twelve hundred cases are in the files of the organization. Each morning a session of the juvenile court is held, a member of the bureau visits the scene. A play ground has been planned to be used by the school children during the summer months. Miss Marguerite Boylan was the first executive sec retary and when she left for service abroad, Miss Victoria Lamour com petently took her place. The Bridge port bureau was the first to be es- tablished in the Hartford diocese and one of the pioneers in the na- tiona1 organization.
 The second service office was formed in New Haven about a year ago. Two paid workers are employ ed at the office, also a large number of volunteers. Although the work at this bureau has not progressed as rapidly as in Bridgeport, it is becom- ing stronger and stronger each day
 It is the hope of the Hartford headquarters that bureaus may be es- tablished in. Meriden, Waterbury Danbury and other cities. Bishop John J. Milan recently presented the Dioscean bureau with a 21 room house in which the work may be car ried on. It is hoped that in the future a large Catholic community house may be built in Hartford.
 Both Father Judge and Miss Boy Ian have already taken up theil work in Hartford. Father Judge will divide his time between this city and Hartford while Miss Boylan will re- main in the capital city. Beside! serving as director of the Bridgepor Charitable organization Father Judgt has been assistant pastor of Sacred Heart church from where he wa transferred to take up his duties il St. Augustine's parish under Rev Father Nihill. Miss Boylan recent, returned from Europe where she ha been serving the National Catholi War Council.

l. F. ABBOTT
 SPEAKS MAY 4

Lawrence F. Abbott. editor of the well known magazine, The Outlook, who will speak at the High school auditorium on Tuesday, May 4, at S o'clock in the evening in the interest of the Roosevelt Memorial associa- tion, was probably closer during his life to Colonel Roosevelt than any man in America. In accepting an in- vitation from Justice George w. Wheeler to speak here, Mr Abbott agreed to take his hearers into~his confidence and give some incidents ia the life of MT. Roosevelt which have never been published. Mir. Abbott in discussing Colonel Roosevelt in New Y 0rk yesterday, said:
 My interest in Theodore Roosevelt began very early. I voted for him for mayor of New York in 1888, when he had just passed his 18th birthday and made his personal acquaintance when he was police commissioner of the City of New York. came to know him somewhat better when le was governor and began an intimate friendship with him when he became president. When he left the presi- dency in March, 1907, he joined the staff of The Outlook at my invita- ton and he was intimately associated with us for five years. In 191n, at his invitation, I met him at Khar- toum, at the head of the NiIa in Africa and travelled back with him through Egypt and Europe to the United States. On this journey I acted as a volunteer private secretary for l soon discovered that he needed some assistance in carrying out his innumerable enga gements md in acknowledging his voluminous cor respondence. My relations with him on this journey were of such a ra- ture that I had the honor and pleas ure of meeting many of the distin- guished personages of Europe who entertained him and in my address at Bridgeport I shall refer to many of these incidents. I shall also point out what I believe to be the four prominent qualities in his person. ality that made him a great Ameri- can.'
 Besides MT. Abbott, Portia Willets; of the Roosevelt Woman's Associa- tion, will speak. She is one of rep- resentative women of the East and will tell of the effort the women of this country are making to preserve the original Roosevelt home and me mentoes associated with him from boyhood to his death.
 Mayor Wilson will preside at the meeting and the other local speaker will be Judge John s. Pullman. Judge Pullman is chairman of the Citizens Committee which will have an i'm. portant part in the drive for mem berships in the Roosevelt Memoria Association. which begins in this city on May g.
