 Murray finally moved the British
 defenses across the canal to the
 east side. There, on the huge
 dunes, amidst sand so loose that

 Then, out of the blue, came the
 attack. Fourteen thousand armed
 men suddenly appeared and launch-

Mr.. Goldie deplores the two-bunk
cell and even deprecates the dormitory
system in force at the reformatory. 1t
has worked out fairly well with as
many as 80 men in dormitory, but
badly with any less. One man may
dominate a dozen, but with greater
number they split into factions and
act as foils for one another:
THE single cell Is the ideal prison
arrangement" he said.
The greater part of the prison farm
quarters are single cell corridors. Eacn

Questioned with regard to any riots

of Auburn prison recently, Mr.. Golole
recalled the only demonstration on rec,

more than Is years ago. An ernclency
expert named Granger was imported Dy
the Government from Indianapolis

methods at Guelph and Burwash re-
formatories.
He undertook to save the govern

kitchen waste and in the course OF
the radical budget pairing he INDUCED
in, prisoners were ill-fed. He appeared
in the dining room of the Guelph in

ascended to the table tops and reviled
him. One or two plates were thrown,
but guards restored order verbally. The
men were returned to their cells before
any one was injured.

benediction to the throng below.
When he was halfway to the altar
the sistine choir broke into the strains
Of ''Tu es Petrus" ("Thou Art Peter")
which always greets the Pope on q
formal ritualistic occasion. After the
time necessary for his putting on the
sacred vestments the Pontiff knelt al
the bottom of the altar steps and with
the sign of the cross began the mass
reciting the phrases in a clear. firm
voice
The feast day commemorated was
that of st. Thomas the Apostle. and, as
the celebration occurred in Advent, a
mourning season, a number of prayers
normally used were omitted. At the
moment Of the elevation of the host
after the conservation, the silver trum-
pets sounded forth over the heads of
the hushed multitude. After the last
Gospel had been read by the Pope
the congregation started singing the
Nicene Greed. At the conclusion OF
that profession of faith the Pontiff
impaired the apostolic benediction, the
crowd intoning the responses.
The Pope returned to his private
apartments as he had come, applauded
and cheered all the way:
Forty cardinals attended today's Serv-
ice, including Cardinals Daugherty and
Hayes of the United States. Bishop
O'Reilly of Scranton, Pa, and Auxiliary
Bishop O'Hara of Philadelphia took part
in the procession. Spectators included
the Pope's sister and brother-in-law.

world over under various names. Berg
ner said. It is played with 64 card
board discs or counters. A regulation
