UNJUST STEWARD PARABLE
 EXPLAINED Ry r


 Throughout the Catholic world Sun day, the gospel read in all the masses was that for the eighth Sunday after Pentecost, Romans viii. 12-17. the par able of the unjust steward. Preach ing at the early mass at 7.5o o'clock in St. Patrick's church, Rev M. H. May, the rector, who also read the mass, ex- plained this parable, which does not mean that the Saviour commented the steward for his dishonesty-merely for prudence in temporal affairs, which men would do well to initiate in mat ters spiritual.
 Neither the church nor the state com mends the acquiring of goods by dis honesty, deceit or treachery. Such ac- quisition of wealth constitutes what is | referred to in the gospel as the mann mon of iniquity. Riches in themselves are not evil, providing they are re- garded simply as loaned by their real | owner, God, and are dispensed in l ameliorating suffering, relieving pow erty, assuaging misery. Wealth may cause a man to gain, not to lose his salvation, providing he holds himself simply as the agent of the Creator in whatsoever he may possess, not hoard ing it, nor using it for oppression and 1 injustice, but considering hims7lf as a mere alrnoner, disburser, distributor. | A word of warning was uttered re- garding the danger and the wrong of the misuse of any of Gods gifts and l the preacher exhorted his hearers to at once take spiritual inventory of their habits and ways, to discover whether their use of temporal possessions may not be counter to the will and design of their Heavenly Father in entrusting them with such advantages and favors
 The majority of those in the congre- gation received holy communion, Fa- ther May requiring the assistance of Rev. Philip J. Mooney in administer ing the Eucharist.

mendous drop in the value of foreign currencies. This drop results in lower relative wages based on the value of American money to foreign workmen than have ever been obtained before. To overcome this difficulty, which also varies with every country, the tariff bill proposes. to base the duties on the value of the. goods in the American market. Tais gives a known and denite basis and should be borne in mind by manufactur- CTS when guring on the amount of pro- lection the bill gives them. It is not possible to forecast definitely what the effect of the bill will be, but hope that when it finally becomes a law it will give fair protection to American manu- lecturers without being burden to con- sumers"
 Congressman James P. Glynn, of Win sted, is very optimistic concerning the i bill There are some things in the bill.'' said Mir Glynn. that everyone doesn't t like But this is only natural in a meas
 ure that affects every commodity, but on
 the whole the Fordney measure is very good one. After all, 1t is to the interest
 of the Connecticut delegation to protect | the Connecticut industries and in doing
 that, they have to give and take here and
 there this is only to be expected. As far as Connecticut is concerned, if her
 industries are protected the purpose oi the bill is accomplished.
 Congressman E. Hart Fem of Hart. ford is another optimist His comment is as follows Tt is pretty good bill
 and we may as well pass 1t in it's pres
 ent form and not lose any time in amend
 ing, it. In the past it has taken min,
 months to frame a tariff bill and .thi
 one was drawn up in nine weeks. O
 course it cannot suit everybody. but it i , thought. and hoped, that it will produc

 The republican members of the hous
 in recent caucus session voted to come t a vote in the house on the bill thi month, and seven hours per day iron } now until such vote is taken will be al r lowed for debate upon the bill. Con
 gressman Freeman will return to Wash ington to vote upon the bill.

An electrical storm of great intensity and one ofethe most terrific that has wis., tied Norwich in many years played over the city for nearly one hour Saturday morning working havoc with the tele- phone lines, fire alarms and doing con siderable damage to several buildings where the lightning struck. The storm broke shortly after 2 o'clock, coming from the northwest, and for an hour ap- parently hovered over the city seeking what it might destroy.
 Gathering clouds and suddenly inc creasing darkness gave warning of the approach of the storm and in many houses and offices it became so dark that the electric lights were switched on. Lightning flashes tha. seemed to split the heavens with jagged forks of vivid white light were incessant. accompanied by crashing, ripping reals of thunder that terrified the timid. Where places were struck it was reported that balls of fire were seen to play about the build ings.
 The storm was said to be central over Massachusetts, with Norwich getting the extreme southern fringe. Some freakish boundaries for the rain and electricity were reported around here At Trading Cove it was reported there was scarcely
  very little rain. New London had some rain but not the thunder and lightning, but it was cloudy all day long.
 The fire department was kept busy and constantly on the move. clearly demon strating that several more pieces of ap- paratus could be used if they had it Five calls within the space of Is min utes was record in the department, and Providence surely watched with kindly eye upon the Rose of New England, fol there was slightly any fire damage. The first call for the department wal for a fire in trolley car near St. Mary, 1 cemetery. The car had been struck ant the controller box took fire, burning tht woodwork. People in the Vicinity man | aged to put out the blaze with a garder hose The deputy chief answered th, call, but his services were not needed Within few minutes after the depar ture of the deputy chief, a bell alarn from box 27 was sent in. This was fo a supposed fire at No. Third street. bu when the department arrived it wa found that the house had been struck bu | little damage done Just as the alarn sounded bolt hit near the Central sta ton and ignited it. This blaze was pu out by chemical. As the auto pumpe was returning from GreenevilIe an alarr came in from box 312 OH Williams street near Uncas street. The bumper mad the run and found that their service were not needed, as the bolt of lightnin had only struck a tree near the hous owned by Myron B. Prentice and ha only filled the house with smoke.
 While at the Prentice house Chic Howard L. Stanton received word tha the Central station itself was on fire. quick run was made to the station. bu the blaze which was caused when tn lightning entered the station by an UT derground wire had been extinguished b Calvin Williams. who had used tn chemical extinguishers on it.

THE GREAT OBJECTIVE
OF OUR ASSOCIATION

3. For a high percentage of all
teachers, women as we'll as men,
especially those who have been In
the profession five years or more,
compensation for the support OF
members of the family or other
dependents.
4. An annual surplus for in.
vestment. A teacher who has
served faithfully and invested
thriftily for a period of thirty or
thirty-five years should have Il
living income from investments.
The teacher is entitled to a return
for the investment of time and
cash involved in preparation for
professional duties.
Census reports each decade
state and federal reports of banks
savings deposits, increasing wealth
of net income Of corporations. ex-
penditures for luXuries all indicate
a tremendous annual production of
wealth and are indubitable evil
dence Of the ability of the people
to pay adequate salaries to the
teachers Of our public schools and
maintain the idealism of a people
who cherish not merely the right
to worship God according to the
dictates of their own conscience,
but also the privilege of educating
their children in accordance WITH
the principles of freedom and
equality of opportunity.
In conclusion, not merely for
the teacher as one member of the
social group but for the sake of
the boys and girls who still make
the community group of the new
generation we must carry on to-
ward the great detectives of the
New Mexico Education Associa-
ton. In order to get results we
must have a complete and effective
organization of the teaching pro-
fession and the closest co-opera-
ton between our county and state
organizations. In the words of a
resolution adopted by our National
organization at the Des Moines
meeting we must urge professional
organizations of teachers in every
community to create and develop
public sentiment in support of ed

Mexico. We must present educa-
ton as a safe investment and n

ourselves from what has been

Purposeful activity directed to
these great detectives will drive us
on toward our ideal-better schools
