the defendant was not up to the standards claimed by the defend ant.
 He claimed the car, an Auburn, was sold him for $380 cash ani his own Chevrolet The Auburn was not mechanically perfect, it's year not 1882, and was not cap able of giving 15 to 17 miles on q gallon of gasoline, as claimed by the defendant the plaintiff charged. .s
 Judge McNif states in his de- cision that tho method the plain tiff used in determining the auto could not get IS to 17 miles per gallon did not prove the car would not give the presented mileage: that the plaintiffs proof as to the mechanical condition was not con- vincing and that the plaintiff had reasonable opportunity to judge the merits of the car before ex. chaIfging the conditional sales agreement.

UP. KENNEDY AT
 HOLY NAME MEET
Made Appeal to Home, School, and Church to
 Save Society
FROM GOING TO PIECES

There was a large attendance at the meeting of the Holy Name Su- ciety of St Francis Xavier church in the parish hall last evening, when announcement was made of the three nights carnival which will open next Thursday night, which is sure to attract a crowded house. The opening number con- sisted of solos by William Clasby. The rendition by this gifted singer of "Rock-A-Bye Moon" brought out tremendous applause, and for an encoure he sang "In Only a Shanty in old Shanty Town" Rose mary Keenan and Mary McCor- mack, attired in beautiful costumes gave an exhibition of dancing in a manner that delighted the au- dience. They were given q splendid ovation.
 John Bedell and Joseph Millerick presided at the piano.
 Joseph P. Kennedy, introduced by Rev John Dillon delivered an address on The Home and The Schoop', in the course of which he stated that civilization is on that trial, and that at no time in the history of the world was there greater neeu on COHCeFLcu dCtlOn on the part of these two institu- tons, adding that it requires their best work to save the rising gem eration from evil influence now at work in the literature of the age. In conjunction with the church society can be saved. otherwise he feared that, that the civilization which our forefathers brought out of chaos is in danger o' going to pieces.
 Renewal of the old family spirit was asked, the speaker being of the opinion that the rising gcner- ation will survive to see the climax of tho present world crisis. The need of teaching children for ap- preciation of good music. literature philosophy and the more beautiful things of life which prove more lasting than the material things which temporarily seem more i'm portant.
 MT Kennedy said he had just finished reading book entitled Ann Vickers' and declared that if what 1t states be a true picture of tho moral of the present day, he did not know what to say about it. He hoped that the picture was overdrawn and included but a small number of the human family.
 MT Kennedy was given q rising vote of thanks for the interesting and instructive talk.
