League Removes
Sef-Rule From
Devil WOrshippers

GENEVA, Switzerland.-Th Yezi-
dis. or Devil Worshippers, a Negro
people of Arabia, are reported to be
in turmoil because a decision of the
League of Nations has taken away
their self-rule.
This people, which numbers 80
900, are called devil-worshippers
since they worship Satan. The basic
principle of their creed is that since
God is good and benevolent they
have nothing to fear from him but
must look out for Satan who is be-
lieved to be the surest way to have
peace and happiness is to try to
appease Satan by worshipping him.
Satan. they believe. is fallen
angel, who rules on earth, while God
rules in heaven. Christ, they call,
1.-THE Light" but believe He also is
powerless on earth, thus in their
places of worship instead of pictures
or statues of Him they have those
of Satan, which is represented as a
peacock with but single eye.
They have been prosecuted by
their Mohammedan neighbors for
centuries and massacred from time
to time, but have held fast to their
faith which is very old. Travellers
who have penetrated into their reg
ion all agree that they are Worship
pers of the devil, but nevertheless
are morally superior to their neigh
bors, and are very hospitable, par
ticularly to Christians.
Much of their religious worship
is in songs, which celebrate the
deeds of their ancestors and tell OF
their love toward the opposite sex

Dear Miss White: Il am a young
woman 2S years old and have been
married for just six months.
Il thought my husband loved me.
but lately l am changing my mind
about it.
81 don't expect him to gush over
me every five minutes, but it seems
to me that he could give me a little
of the attention which he gave me
when we were going together.
DO you suppose he is disappoint-
ed in me. and wishes to be single
again?
II don't want to stand in his way
but l know can't be happy and be
neglected.-Unhappy Bride"
You had better stop being NOR
bid and try your very best to be
happy.
You cannot doubt that your hus-
band loves you. He has given you
quite tangible proof that he does
love you. inasmuch as he has as
sumed the responsibility of paying
your bills for the rest of your life.
! And good thick steak is just as
much a proof of love as is a box
of chocolates.
If you live to be as old as the
Sphinx herself, you'll never really
be wholly acquainted with the man
you married; so you might just as
well make the best of it, and take
/ him "as Isl
And above all, don't try to solve
the riddle of why men don't make
the same effort to make their mar
riage a success as they do their
business or profession"
Were you to tell this new husband
of yours that you think he is meg
lecting you" he probably would be
highly indignant, and vigorously
deny it.
My advice to you is to stop look
ing for something to be miserable
about.
BE happy over the NICE THINGS
that he does do for you, and take
into consideration that the newneSs
of his responsibilities may seen
tremendous to him for while
After he gets used to this new
mode of life, 1t Is quite likel,
that he will be more like himself
again; but even If he isn't, or If yot

Gas Stations
 Must Pay Up
Hayes Refuses Expansion
 Unless Taxes Are Met

Companies or individuals own- ing gasoline stations in Waterbury who owe back taxes and who from now on petition Mayor Frank Hayes for permission to install ad- ditional pumps or open new branch plants will have their petitions denied. Mayor Hayes made this point clear today in an emphatic stand. He took the stand that 1t Is not fair to allow non-payers of taxes on gasoline stations to com pete with those in the same busi- ness who have settled up right a. long for the bills they owe the municipality.
 Under the state law all petitions for the opening of gas stations or for the installation of new pumps must come before Mayor Hayes for approval before the work can be carried out. Mayor Hayes has one or two petitions to hear every week.
 His stand today was taken, 1t was explained, in fairness to those gas station operators who cooper ate with the city in it's present fi- nancial condition and pay up their taxes regularly. Tt is not fair to allow competition hurting these gas station operators who are help- ing the city," said Mayor Hayes this morning. Any gas station proprietor who has not settled up with the city will have to do so right away or else suffer a denial of permits for new pumps or ex- tension plants"

 "As the mightiest river ultimate ly owes all it's strength and power to the source whence 1t flows, so does our Order owe all that it is and shall be to the vision and en- ergy of Father McGivney. He or- ganized that first small band of knights, gave them the principles of charity, unity, fraternity and pa- triotism which they have handed down to us and which we, God will ing, shall pass into the keeping of those who will come after us."
 Members of Sheridan council of this city plan to commemorate the week with some special services. Father McGivney was a native of Waterbury. His remains rest in the family plot in old St Joseph's ceme- tery with his parents and the body
