While Marion's parents, Mr. and

son home two hours later, some
what leg weary and decided" hun
CRY. In the meantime Mr.. and Mrs.
Galbraith had returned from
church and had started a frantic
inves tigation as to the where
abouts of their small DAUGHTER. A
telephone message from Mr.. Will
son cleared the atmosphere and

DECLARES
SUNDAY IS
GODS DAY
Newport Pastor Discusses
Observance of
, the Day

The question of Sunday observ-
ance and Sunday sports was dis
cussed Sunday evening b. Rev. L.
A. Edwards, pastor of the Congre-
gational church, who had been
asked to reply to the question
"Wha't is permissible and where
90 we draw the line on Sunday
amusements".
"The first thing to consider Is
not whether a thing is permissible,
but whether it is right or wrong.
Many things are permitted which
are not right, are not according to
the highest INTERPRETATION of God ;
law" he said. Long ago we were
told to remember the Sabbath day
and keep it holy, without being
doctrinal or dogmatic, the Sab
bath is Gods day, and we should
have for it a feeling of reverance.
Goods law cannot be broken,
pye may break ourselves but we
do not break Gods law. Tradition
has taught us reverance for the
Sabbath, and none of US would
want to live to see the sacredness
of the day lost sight of. We should
also consider the law that bids Us
have regard for another's FEELINGS.
I do not feel that the quiet walk
or ride or picnic is a violation OF
the proper observance of the Sab
bath day"

NO POLITICS %
IN ELECTION =
OF new POPE
High Mass of Requiem
Sung at st. AIOysius for
Benedict XIV

Refuting stories printed IN the
metropolitan newspapers to the
effect that ecclesiastical wire pul-
ling" was influential in the cleo
ton of a new Pope, Rev. J. w.
Dwyer, pastor of St. Aloysius
church, declared in his sermon
Sunda that no one had
any positive knowledge concerning
| the successor of Benedict XIV. 1t
wa. absolutely useless Tor anyone
he said ITO conjecture who might
succeed the late head of the Ro-
man Catholic church, as the con-
clave of Cardinals is held behind
5ricked-up walls. The utmost Sc
orecy is maintained over all the
deliberations that precede the
election of Pope.
Father Dwyer said that tn
+, lrost obscure Cardinal might be
; selected to head the Church. Be-
fcre his elevation to the Papacy.
Benedict XIV was little known 70
the world. The inherent qualities
of each candidate are known b.
the College of Cardinals. whose
final choice may surprise the
world.
In the midst of his sermon,
Father DWyer paused to read a
tribute to the Pope, written by
Governor Lake of Connecticut.
Fr. Dwyer characterized the tri-
butte as substantially and succirt-
" expressing" the finest Santi-
ments he has read in the many Al
ticles of the press. Following is
the tribute:
"The regrets of d world upon
tthe news of Pope Benedict are not
accompanied by the shock that US
ually comes when great men die,
but rather by the thought that a
companion of God has gone to
icin Him.
"Besought, cll.icized and
threatened by one after another Of
the contesting Nations in the
World war struggle, he seems to
Us today to have followed an in
srifed path, for he has brought
forth his church to be one of the
strongest, if not the strong 81,
force against destructive IA heal
ism, the greatest world wife
Danger of today.
At 900 Monday morning,
high mass of requiem was sung at
st. Alovsius church in accordance
with a communication from Bish-
or J. j. Rice of the diocese of
FL rlington. The mass was for the
late Pope Benedict.

WINTER SPORTS
THOROUGHLY
ENJOYED SUNDAY
Skating, SnOwshOeing,
Skiing and TobOggann-
ing in Full Swing

Sunday was an ideal winter day
with plenty of sunshine and crisp
but not cold weather. Through
out the bright afternoon and ev-
enine the various activities OF the
st. Johnsbury Winter Sports club
were in full wing and all the sur
ounding hills were dotted with
folks OF all ages on snoWshoeS ard
skis. Nearly 500 were on the Skat-
ing rink during the afterooon, in
Guiding several fancy skaters and
there were many specta1or5
throughout the day. 1t was the
first Sunday tnat the chute was
open, and besides many participdt-
ing ih the exhilirating Sport thee
were d large number of visitors
who wendad their way up Harvey
street to the chute. d.. Dale S.
Atwood, the president CT the cllb,
got the longest slide and mad to
stop his tohoggan at th4 eXuene
end oc the slide to prevcu. its 60
ing over the hill to Cliff -troct,
At present with one Ur two
sli. hi curves in the slide it is nee
essary 20 do a little steering. This
is done by the man on the rear
seat of the toboggan. In a few
days it is expected that these
curves will be eliminated : those
in charge Of the chute. The cX-
perts say that the safest and best
way to slide is to sit with the legs
crossed. In this way one can
keep his balance better and avoid
the danger of getting a leg or an
arm caught on the sides of The
chute. The lights have been in
stalled on the chute free of cha~g"
by the Twin State Gas and Elec-
tric company.
Interest in hockey nlaying is
increasing and a NEE tinr will be

BERLIN DATED
FOR FAST TILT
TUESDAY EVE
Invaders Have Defeated
Fastest Quintets In
New England

When Jim McGivney leads his
almost invincible Berlin basket
tossers into Scaletowal Tuesday,
the fans may expect one of the
.nosit torrid court melees ever wit
messed at the Armory. Long jim
McGivney, built la Woolworth
building. is touted by the Lewiston
and Portland sporting scribes as
one of the premier leather pushers
row doir- business in New Eng
land. He holds forth s'y the pivot
tai position and is aided and abet-
ted by his brother-fn-arms, George,
at left forward.
The Berlin athletes carry on
their belts long string of scalps,
indicative of victories over the
best teams in New Hampshire and
Maine. One of their most notable
conquests was over the Valmounts
of Westbrook, Maine. Until the
Valmounts SQUARED CT before the
Berlins I,hey had not been top
pied. The ensuing contest was
one of the closest ever waged in
Maine, Berlin finally winning by
single point.
Following their recent victory
over the Wassitte of Auburn, Nc,
the Berlin hoop ratstlerS wee her
aided by Portland sporting writ
er as the fastest aggregation of
court athletes he had seen in ac-
ton ,shis year. High class passing
was stressed, with due emphasis
laid upon the sterling offensive
pc wers of one Jim McGivney. The
latter was rated as one of the
rost brilliant basketball luminari-
es ever to play in Portland.
With a return to old time form,
the local basket tossers ought TO
be in the very pink of condition
Tuesday evening. 1t is confider't-
" exnected that Coach Burch will
be- able to don the spanglcs. 1t
is understood that the latter's
coaching contract ends this week,
and the basketball promoters in
this town can do no better than
get busy and have Burch afiiX
his John Hancock to another
paper.
"Chick" has done wonders with
the local basketeers this season,
and as the season comes to close
in another month or so. he will be
needed all the more. His steady
inp qualities are needed on the
court in the thick Of a hot fracas,
W,th the possibility of fast Sc
ries with Newport, the local ans
will want to see someone like
"Chick". a veteran, at the helm.
The basketball season has been a
great success thus far and every
effort should be made TO keep ',he
ball rolling in the right direction.

Be Still In Wreckage of Knicker-
booker Theatre

WASHINGTON, Jan.
30-1nvestigation of the
Knickerbocker theatre
disaster by a Senate COM
,mittee was proposed in
a resolution introduced today by
Senator Capper, Republican, Of
Kansas, a member of the senate
district of Columbia committee.
The resolution was referred to
the audits and control committee.
Senator Frelinghuysen, Republi-
can, New Jersey, said that the in
vestigation should be "a wide
spread one of the entire district
government, adding that he knew
from personal knowledge that
many buildings in Washington
were "fire traps, which might at
any time cost scores of lives.
1t was stated that the audit5
committee planned to act today on
the Capper resolution which de-
clared "the explanation that snow,
although of an extraordinary
quantity was the chief cause OF
the collapse of the roof, appears
to be unsatisfactory. Investiga-
tions were being made today by
the Board of Commissioners Of the
District of Columbia and by the
district grand jury.
