BOSTON, April 18.-William Cardi-

speaking as Catholic citizen" said
yesterday it is wrong for an individual
priest to try to talk to the whole world
Speaking before the Guild Of St
ApoIlonia, the cardinal referred to "hys-
terical addresses from ecclesiaStics" and
said there is a man in Florida or
Michigan who talks every Sunday after
noon Ton the radio). He talks to the
whole world. What right has he to do
this? If he talks about things purely
religious and established Catholic truths
and teachings, we do not mind.
Il am deeply convinced that there is
altogether too much talk. 1t is too seri-
Gus a time to talk unless something
serious and constructive is said-some

right-of-way. Other little boys of
his age we're obedienlty saying
their prayers before going to bed
as Billy YEARLY trod the cross
ties, wondering how long it would
be before he found an open box
car that contained a little straw
upon which to rest his wornout
body. He looked wistfully at the
lighted windows of the homes he
could glimpse from time to time
as he went along.
"HOw did he make his way?
oh, he'd worked. Washed
dishes mostly, for he wasn't
big enough for much Of any
thing else."
where's he been? Well,
most everywhere in the United
States: New York, Boston, Chi
cagO, Los Angeles, Denver, New
Orleans, st. Louis. Ever been
out of the United States?
Yeah, Hawaii and Cuba. Yeah
sure, worked his way as cabin
boy on steamers"
Chased by police; working and
singing for meals; sleeping where
ever he happened to be when his
weary feet refused to carry him
further, this bit of freckled hui
manity has seen life in the raw;
seen it as most of us would like
to, had we the courage to face it.

of refuge. for he has been
adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. F. M.
Huddlestun, of 3614 Thirty third
St.. Mt. Rainier, Md. He is
happy and attending the fifth
grade of the Mt. Rainier school.

between the hours of 4 and
each Monday afternoon through

You won't hear a great stylist,

voice, for it is rough in timbre.
But you won't be forced to under,
go the cheap, obvious sentimen,
tality affected by some of the ia.
nous stage and screen stars be,
cause, although he follows their
style closely, the pathos in his
voice is put there unconsciously.
You'll be fortunate if you hear
him sing MY Nom" or some like
popular ballad, for years of heart
break, loneSomenesS and yearning
for home and mother love,
which until recently he has never

Enthusiastically, some frankly touch
ed by a tear.
Who is this unacclaimed artist
that can bring a tear to the eye
of blase people who work in radio
stations? He is a 14-year-old boy,
freckle-faced and possessed of un-
ruly hair which, in color, hovers
indifferently between blond and
brunette; a boy who had been
found singing for nlckels and
dimes, with which to keep body
and soul together, on the streets
of West Palm Beach, Fla, by a
kindly auto tourist, who brought
him to Washington.

doesn't smile very often. When
he does it's wistful.

this boy-man, conju1ed up a pic
ture of two ribbons, cleaning
silver in the moonlight, stretching
