In the hope Of providing a more
effective method of dealing with
prisoners released from District
penal institutions, a plan worked
out by public and private social
and welfare agencies will be put
into operation October l.
Public welfare Director Elwood
Street made the plan public today.
It will supplement services Of
parole board officers and staff.
He emphasized that the innova-
ton is not intended as a SubSti-
tute for a more adequate parole
staff, which the board has urged
repeatedly, but is an emergency
measure to correct some of the
defects in the present inadequate
parole system.
Under the new setup the Bureau
Of Rehabilitation, a private organi-
zation financed by the Commit
nifty Chest, will play leading
part.
Other organizations cooperating
are the Welfare Board. Parole
Board and penal institutions OF
the District, the Travellers Aid So
ciety, the Family Service Associa-
ton, the Catholic Charities, the
Jewish Social Service Agency and
the Police Department.
In cases where prisoners are
due for parole consideration, the
plan calls for the following pro-
cedure by the Bureau Of Rehab-
ilitation:

Of a vast living monstrance" on
the stadium arena.
Fifth and last of the solemn
pontifical masses of the congress
was offered in the public audi.
torium this morning, with Arch.
bishop Joseph F. Rummel of New
Orleans as celebrant and Arch
bishop John j. Glennon of st.
Louis delivering the sermon.
Lofty tribute to "home and
mother" was paid by Archbishop
Glennon, who appealed to the
women of America to unite in
defense of the home, marriage,
and motherhood. The enemies Of
Christ do not stop with bloodshed
and persecution in Mexico, he as
serted, but attempts also to de-
stroy the unity and stability of
the Christian home.
Archbishop Glennon declared:
"The home is based upon the
Sanctity and the indissOlubility
Of the marriage bond. Take
from the marriage bond its per-
manence, break with. scriptures,
with established morals, with
the ChristendOm and the Christ,
legalize divorce, release the hus-
band and wife to seek other
mates, and what becomes of the
home?
you have in / another father
today, another mother tOmor-
row, and the home, q home no
longer, becomes a thing even
more precariOuS than a board

GN.SO.-The thousands of wor-

Cleveland into the religious cap
ital Of the world today awaited
the voice Of Pope Plus XI, as the
seventh national Eucharistic Con-
gress drew to close in splendor
and in pageantry.
At 4:45 p. M, the voice of the
Supreme Pontiff will come by
radio from Castel Gondolpho, his
summer residence. Immediately
at the close of his remarks, his
mesSage-which may touch on the
congress theme of world peace
will be translated into English.
Both NBC and CHS networks

In Cleveland Stadium, where last
night and early today was staged
one of the most brilliant religious

a giant procession this afternoon

most interesting of the three
is Sark. 1 had the pleasure
few years ago of meeting the
ruler of Sark, a charming
Englishwoman, then D m
Sibyl Mary Beaumont.
Since she has married a New
Yorker, becoming Mrs. Robert
Hathaway. She owns and runs
the island, a little dot to be
sure, but it is her own and it
remains today almost what it
was on the day in 1870 that
Elizabeth of England gave 1t to
one of her ancestors.
OLD FEUDALISM
Sark, three miles long and a
mile and a half wide, is a place
of splendid isolation. Its popu-
lation is TOO. There are no
automobiles and only the daily
visit of a little steamer from
Guernsey breaks upon the
medieval atmosphere OF the
island.
1--WE live in a strange old
feudalism," the Dame Of Sark
explained. "We have customs
practices and laws which come
down from the Middle Ages. Old
Norman French is still spoken
although most of the people
sneak English as WE'LL"
She told me the fascinating
story of how her family. came
into possession Of the island:
The beginning is at the court OF
Elizabeth. Before the red
haired queen stands a handsome
young courtler.

know? Why are they so sure
their conclusions are correct?
Intuition tells them.
But what IS intuition?
At this question, women smile
mysteriously-that we'll known
cat-has-eaten-the-canary smirk.
Obviously pitying your ignor-
ance. Intuition, they assure
you, cannot be desert b e d.
Doesn't need to be. It's "just
something" that pops up when
n e d e d and whispers the
answers to you. And it's eXclu-
sively feminine. Every woman
has it. Just as she has smooth
skin and curves. It is, indeed,
her greatest asset.
INSTINCT
Mothers, for example. A
mothers instinct about her child
is always right. A mother
doesn't need to study as any
other worker would. A mother
KNOWS. How does she know?
Just because! And wives. Even
if a wife has never spent a day
in her husbands office, she
knows how things should be
run. Why, a woman can look
at a person just once and know,
by intuition, whether they are
reliable or not. If business men
would only trust their wives
intuition!
So on and on. And the most
amazing part of the whole af-
fair is that the overwhelming
majority of people, many Of
them intelligent and well in
formed, will accept these state
ments without a moments hes
itation. The existence and
power Of feminine intuition is
as generally undispuated today
as in our darkest jungle era.

NATURAL FORTRESS
'In that case," snaps the i'm
petuOus Elizabeth, "yOu shall
have Sark for yourself and for
all that come after you"
Dame Hathaway has come
after him, and the island is
hers and she is answerable only
to the King of England. Her
domain is in the news today
because there is no taxation on
Sark, or only just a little. The
Dame collects tithes on all crops,
also a tithe of lambs, cider and
wool.
BY a law Of 1735, each male
above the age of 16 must give
two days of labor on the roads
or send substitute. Such is
the limit of tribute.
'It is a strange little place,
my Sark," says Dame Hatha-
way. "It has one of the most
remarkable harbOrs in the
world. But the only access to
it, the only way one can enter
Sark, is by a tunnel through
cliffs, which rise a sheer 300
feet. Sark is a natural fortress,
which was the reason that EIiZ-

problem or perplexity to me for
a solution. 1 love it. I am the
high justice, the middle and
the low; and every child on
the island comes to me for
sweets. Come to see us some
day, monsieur"
And that I will if I ever get
to Plymouth, which is 80 miles
from Sark. But perhaps by that
time Sark will be filled with

idea that they are entitled to
