Her princi- ples of religious life included a solicitude for the welfare of the working girls, in spreading the work of mercy through it's many hospitals, and in it's educational system in parochial schools. The first house of the Sisters of Mercy in the new world was founded in Newfoundland in 1842; one year later the first house in the United States was founded in the city of Pittsburg in December, 1843.
 The mother house of the order in this section of the country is located in Hartford and is under the supervision of Right Rev John J. Milan, bishop of the Hartford diocese.

Flynn, chancellor of the diocese.

THE WRESTLING PROBIEM

When Professor Charles Gray Shaw of New York university re- marked that only morons whistled, and that it was impossible to imagine Einstein, Mussolini or President Hoover whistling, he started something. The remark was widely published, and indignant protests as well as sarcastic com- ments were received from every section and from foreign countries. It was ascertained that both Mus solini and Einstein did whistle. A professional whistler demanded of the professor an intelligence test. Movie people sought to record the incident. both photographically and phonographically. The surprised professor explained that he had made the remark ''just for the fun of it' following a little annoyance caused by whijstling. He offered the psychological explanation that the excessive attention paid to his silly remark was a reaction from so muc hserious stuff in the news papers about the plight of the world. A parallel case was the ad- vice of a Massachusetts professor a few years ago that his students be ,snobs.

 Since the discovery of Miss Faith full's body on a shoe at Long Beach, L. T., where it had been cast up by the waves, many theories have been put to account for aer strange death. At fret 1t was thought that she had been acci- dentally drowned. but dis Weries at the post mortem pointed to the possibility of foul play and started the authorities dashing hi.aer and yon questioning all who had ever come in contact with the girl.
 A herculean task, when one con- siders the huge circle of acquaint- srces which a girl in Miss Faith fulrs social position was sure to have. Prominent in New York ane Boston society, Starr's friends were legion, and many were O. the fore most families of the two cities.
