To Patrick Joseph Haltigan OF
Washington, chief reading clerk OF
the United States House of Repre-
diocesan Union of the Holy name OF
the archdiocese of Baltimore, goes
the credit for the steady growth OF
that organization in the past -FOUR
years and in a large measure the sue
cessful cooperation of the local
branches in their arrangements for
the coming convention.
A man well over 6 feet tall, weigh

the printers trade in Dublin. He
came to the United States as a young

of his father necessitated his return
to Ireland, where he had to act as
Hedu VI Tic loI TWO years.
Coming back to the United States he
returned to New York, where he was
employed on the Commercial Bulletin.
Worked on Paper Here.
Always energetic and ambitious for
betterment, Mn. Haltigan came to
Washington in 1889 and was en-
ployed in the composing room Of the
Washington Post, where he worked
under Scott Bone, then managing edi-
tor and now Governor of Alaska. In
1905 he Joined the Government Print

While there he studied law at George

a degree of LII. B. He also published
Haltigan's Manual of Ready Refer

Columbia Typographical Union and
was selected by the president to write
its history.

of the National Hibernian, the official

Image of Infant
Jesus Distinctive
Society Emblem,

The distinctive emblem of the
Holy Name Society of today is the
image of the Infant Jesus.
The reason for the adoption of
this image as the distinctive fea-
ture of the Holy Name emblem is
given by Rev. Thomas NJ. Schwert-
ner, o. p, in the Holy Name Jour
nal, as follows: 1.-THE name Jesus
was imposed on the child seven
days after his birth, when He was
circumcised by st. Joseph. Now
We cannot think of the name Jesus
without thinking Immediately of
the child upon whom it was be-
slowed and the time and circum-
stances when it was given.
1T seems e1inently fitting,
therefore, that the Christ Child
should be the principal part of the
emblem of the Holy Name Society.
The monogram of Christ is not
foreign to the spirit of the society,
nor the beauty of the Infants
image. But it is not on that ac-
count necessary or essential"

BIG CONVENTION
PROBLEMS SOLVED
Transportation Committee
Lost Little Time in Meet
ing Heavy Task.

Virtually all Of the perplexing
problems concerning the transporta-
ton of the thousands of members of
the Holy Name Society to Washing
ton for the convention were worked
out in complete detail several months
ago by an efficient committee on
transportation headed by Joseph r.
Fitzgerald
The transportation committee was
one Of the first committees to func-
tinn-in connection with the conven-
ton. Organized early in April. the
committee started to work immedi-
ately in making arrangements with
the railroads to transport the huge
crowd from every section of the
United States and Canada to the
Nations Capital. The first work of
the committee consisted of CORE
spending with every railroad and
purpose of establishing special ex-
cursion rates for the delegates and
members of the society.
Local Problems Met.
All of these numerous details were
accomplished far in advance of the
convention, with the result that GER
tificates were issued to the bona fide
delegates and members of the society
emitting them to the special railroad
rates. With this work completed, the
committee devoted it's time to local
transportation problems. Arrange
ments were made with the street rail-
way companies, automobile sight
seeing busSes and other transpprta-
ton mediums to convey the delegates
on sightseeing trips about the city
and the special excursion to Mount
Vernon and Arlington Cemetery. Not
a detail was overlooked
The original committee was COM
posed of officials of the society and
representatives of all the railroads
leading into Washington. Later, it
was augmented to include persons
familiar with local transportation
problems.
Frank J. Bresnahan is vice chair
man of the committee and James j.
Laughlin secretary. Other active
members are George ]. Hall, E. J.
Long, John F. Bickory and Thomas
CoStigan.

HARVEY HEADS PUBLICITY

Thomas NJ. Harvey, former presi-
dent of Holy Comforter branch of the
Holy Name Society, was selected by
President Haltigan to look after the
publicity work and to keep before
the minds of the public the scope and
purpose of the convention. The work
of this committee was greatly facili-
tated by the hearty cooperation of
the city editors of all the Washington
papers, who recognized the magni-
tude of the undertaking and it's civic
value in bringing to Washington a
national gathering to be attended by
nearly 100000 persons. The columns
of all the papers were placed at the
disposal of the committee and every
bit of news accepted and we'll dis
played.
Mr.. Harvey had the assistance of
Bert Walsh of the Post, Robert Cot
tren of The Evening Star, Jim Ring
of the Times, James B. Boyle of the
Herald and Francis DeSales Ryan.
The committee was also aided by Jo-
seph F. Healy of New York, who
handles the publicity for the Holy
Name Journal and by Frank Hall of
the National Catholic Welfare News
service.

New laurelS were added to Wash

the readiness with which private
homes were placed at the disposal
of the housing committee of the Holy
Name Society. of which Harry S.
ONeill is chairman. AS soon as it
was made known that the hotel ac-
commodations of the city would be
exhausted by the influx of delegates
and visitors. Catholics and non-Catho-
lies alike who had spare rooms in
their homes notified Chairman ONeill
of their willingness to accommodate
the visitors during the stay in the
National Capital. The response was
gratifying to the committee and light
ened its burdens.
More than 1000 delegates were &C
commodated in private homes. The
majority of those were located in

the parade and demonstration of that
