favor Of the Giants. In nineteen
meetings, to date, with the New
York outfit the Phillies have won
exactly twice, contributing no little
to the Giants long lead. Seemingly,
the Giants hold a mesmeristtc spell
over the Phils similar to that for
merly enjoyed by the Yankees over
the Athletics.
Against the Pittsburgh Pirates,
McGraw's staunchest competitor
the Phillies have been another team
entirely. Their present record with
Pittsburgh is six victories In tnir-
teen starts.
The Cincinnati Reds, the third
contender, have been virtually as
helpless as they were in facing the
Giants, winning only twice In III
teen games. However, the TWO
victories were most inOppOrtune.
They came i'm q dOubel-header just
before the Giants arrived in Gin
cinnati to win five StTaights. the
result being the almost permanent
exit Of the Reds as . pennant pos

Having accomplished this much,
the Phillies moved over to Pitts

Receives Many Gifts

The reverend jubiliarian received many beautiful gifts as expressions of congratulation from the Sisters and her former pupils. Sister Paula also received several cablegrams during the day, two from Belgium, one from France, and one from England.
 An entertainment was heid in tine afternoon. One number on the pro gram was the reading of the following appreciation of Sister Paula by Sis ter who was former pupil of the jubiliarian.
 Dear Sister Paula:
 A circlet of golden years has quiet ly glided into a sancuiied past since that far of time when your youthful fervor responded to the appeal of the Master. The divinely whispered yearning of the Sacred Heart, "The harvest is great" then implied that the toilers were few and that the vint- age was ripe for the reaper. Today, however, it is with complacent, re- warding smiie and in crowning ap- praisal, your divine Spouse reviewing the rich fruitage of souls, repeats these self-same words, "Verily, the harvest is great"
 Service Praised
 Although the most loving and de- voted of your friends or spiritual children cannot estimate that aecum- ulated wealth of merit and grace with the recompensing exactitude of God, vet we hope in a feeble way to pay tribute, dear Sister, to your nntirine labors among us, and in part, at least, to acknowledge our indebtedness to your forceful, compelling example.
 During the strenuous days of early mission life in the Hartford diocese, vour achievements in furthering Cath olie education are recorded In per manent success. They are the con vincinR answer to that fervent heark- ening of your ardent soul to the di- vino call, Lord, what would'st Thou have me dol"
 The fulfillment of that doing de- handed a journey no less extended than that of your patron-apostle him. self. and entailed a separation from home and friends no less complete. No other patron, no other ideal, could have so we'll inspired such absolute, whole-soulesi sacrifice.
 How completely Ike that same apostle you have become all things to ail for our dear Lords sake, we know best who have been so closely asso- ciated with you in religious toiiing. That charity is patient, IS kind, and seeketh not her own, has been living reality in your intercourse with all.

SISTER CELEBRATES
 5OTH ANNIVERSARY
Sister Paula, Formerly of Put nam, Has Been Nun Half
 Century
For Years Was Superior at Convent
 Fo~merly CoHdneted Here

Sister Paula, who for years was Mother Superior of Notre Dame de Bon Secours, a boarding school for girls conducted in this city in the Marshall street convent of St. Mary church, and who is very pleasantly re- membered by large number of Put nara people, on April celebrated at West Hartford the 50th anniversary of her entering the novitiate in Provi- denee. K. l., of the Sisters of Mercy. The golden jubilee observance was conducted at St Mary's Home. West Hartford, of which Sister Paula is assistant treasurer.
 Many friends, Sisters, and former pupils of Sister Paula. called at tho home during the day to extend their congratulations and best wishes. Sis ter Paula, despite her long service. Is still active and energetic and intense ly interested in the affairs of hun dreds of women who received their early training from her. There are any number Of such women now resi- dent in Putnam and vicinity.
 Sing Community Mass
 The jubilee celebration was begun at the community mass which was eel ebrated by Right Rev. Bishop Milan. The Bishop addressed the community and spoke feelingly of the gospel of the Good Shepherd, and he drew a happy analogy between the lessons of that text and the event which the Sis .ers were celebrating that day. He ended his discourse by making appre- eiativs application of Sister Paula's long and useful career. A solemn high mass was sung at 9 o'clock.
 Sister Mary Paula Van de Pitte came to America from Belgium in 1870 in company with several Rever- end Fathers from Louvain, Monsignor Gahriels, Father Vandevyere and Fa- ther Desmet.
 She entered the Sisters of Mercy Novitiate in Providence and was sta. ticned in Pawtucket where she taught music. At the division of the diocese in 1872, she came to Hartford. where she was professed April Il, 1873, by Right Rev. Bishop Mcfarland. She was among the first group ef Sisters to open St. Patrick's Convent, Nor wich, in 1874, ard shortly afterwards i became Superior there.
 On the death of Mother Josephine ! Sister Paula became Superior of the 1 Putnam Convent, and held that posi- ton till 1912. During that period ths boarding school increased and flour .shed to such an extent that waiting list of pupils was kept.

FRANCES HUMAN CAPITAL

1t is said that the average French family nova

four that the rule of 100 years ago.
This means that the average French family now is
not quite reproducing itself and consequently the

arize large families to have little effect. The
French people continue preferrng few children and
high average of personal comfort, to many children

tendency So France is exhausting her human capital
There has been so much said about "race suicide
that people have weared of the subject and discounted
the evils suggested In America is hard, indeed to
make for alarm so loudly expressed few years
ago. Certain families and certain racial strains in this
country may be "petering out" but this nation
whole is prolific enough to insure its continued growth
in numbers and power, even without immigration In
France it is different
This is the most serious factor in the long, historic
struggle between France and Germany, which may
be nearing its final stage. France at the moment

ORGANIZED CRIME CONTROL

Organized campaigns to control crime who bear re-
suits if they kept up Reports of the number of
automobile thefts, burgares and robberes in of
the larger cities for two years prove this statement
The stolen cars which numbered 1868 in 1920 had
dropped to 1701 by 1922. Burglaries had decreased
from 1852 to 1911. Robberies had fallen off from
1888 to 900.
In each instance the decrease close to so per
cent. AS the good work of crime suppression still is
going on bravely another two years at the rate
should see the irreducible minimum.
In the city in question association for criminal
justice is the nucleus for organized activity in the pre-
venton of Crime Under the leadership of the associa
ton there has been greater individual to prevent
theft increased activity the part of officers of the
law in experimenting criminals and the speeding up of
court procedure with maximum penalties for Offend
ers All these forces have helped the reduction of
crime. 1t goes to show that when any body of law
abiding citizens cooperate to hold the lawless in
troll it can succeed.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
SNOWBALLS.

"Uncle Wiggily! Uncle Wiggily!
I'm sorry, but you'll have to get up
early this morning!" called Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy to the bunny
rabbit Gentleman.
"Get up early? What for? Is my
hollow stump bungalow on fires'
asked Mr.. Longears, quickly spring
ing from his bed.
"No, I'm thankful to say it
ism t that said the muskrat lady
housekeeper. "But there has been
big snow storm and you III have
to shovel off the sidewalk
"Oh, l don't mind that" laugh
ed Uncle Wiggily. So he gave his
pink nose a twinkle, dressed and,
after a cup of hot carrot coffee, he
went out to shovel snow.
The bunny rabbit gentleman was
tossing big masses of snow, first to
one side and then to the other
clearing a path so the animal boys
and girls could go to school when
all of a sudden, there sounded some
banks, growls and whines and a
voice called:
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily, throw me a
snowball!'
"And throw me one, tool" beg
ged another voice.
The bunny rabbit gentleman look
ed around and saw Jackie and
Peetie Bow Wow, the two puppy
dog boys, who were on their way to
recite their lessons to the Lady
Mouse teacher in the hollow stump
school.
"What is it you want me to do?''
asked Uncle Wiggily, leaning on his
shovel to take little rest.
"Throw SNOWFALL as far as you
can throw it," begged Jackie, "and
I'll race after it and bring it back.
L can do it quicker than Peetie.;'
