as grand marshal, rode up on his fine looking white horse to find 8 good representation in line. The solemn high mass just before had been celebrated by Father Walsh, with Father Lynch of Westerly as deacon, and Father CreedOn of this city as sub deacon.
 Convent Serenaded
 Our line that day comprised the Sarsfleld Temperance society, the Sedgwick Guards, the A. o. H., Flaherty's band, . Terryville band, and the Catholic Temper. ance society. Again, we started out to parade the streets where the Irish lived, and to halt for awhile in front of the Convent of Notre Dame. We stopped at the convent all right, the band played, and the students sang Irish selections, but the cold was 50 great that we had to move along faster than we first intend- cd. The snow was getting too much for us. The galloping horses of Major Ramon and his first aid, Bart Collins, who used to drive six and eight horses for the late R. N. Blakeslee, almost kept time with the band music. Horses were never lacking for any of our parades.
 On that St. Patrick's night of 1877, Father Walsh, of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, lectured in old city hall. He spoke before Q hall filled with Irishmen, and their friends. Every seat was taken, and practically every Irish family was repre- scented.
 "The Irish Are Here"
 'The Irish are here," said the good pastor, "by right, and not by tolerance; don't forget that. During the Revolutionary War the Irish refused to enlist to fight against the Colonies, and when the army was suffering at Valley T0roge, the Irish of Phila- delphia were among those who contributed literally to their cause. It was also Catholic gem erals from France who assisted in gaining independence for our country. The Irish built our rail- roads and worked our mines, and 1t has been charged that they built the prisons also. and then filled them. But this is not so, as of the 245 inmates of the Conn. state prison, only 27 are of the Irish race."
 Father Walsh further declared that a certain newspaper in the state had charged that the cel- ebration of Gov. English. a Demo- crat, was due "to the votes of the drunken Irish of New Haven"
 My blood boiled when read this in print" observed the pas tor; mote what they say and profit by their words. My good men, don't give them Opportun- ity to make this false charge against our race"
 Good Will
 The days of old are gone; the Irish of yesterday are sleeping in their graves. The Irish Amer ican club of the present day hope to revive the old-time spirit of the Irish of Waterbury, under the plans as arranged for March l5 and 17
 Let us hope that in this they will be successful, and that the parade and celebration will bring back to us a revival of peace and comfort, joy and good will. not only te us of the Irish race, but to all of the people of the city

(Ry F. m. Davis for AMP
LEAVE IT TO SCIENCE
TO FIND A REASON

CHICAGO Il It's a mighty poor
scientist" who can't find good
proof" for any theory he wants to
foster. According to Robert l..
Browne, University of Iowa grad
uate student in physical education,
jesse Owens, Eddie Tolan and Eu-
lace Peacock owe part of their un-
usual speed to a kneecap tendon
reflex which is significantly short
err" than that of the average white
runner. Browne made this oiscov-
cry after. studying 164 white and
Negro subjects.
This, of course, is very soothing
to the Nordic ego. Previously when
a white youth was beaten in the
dashes all he could truthfully say
was that his duslky opponent was
just swifter runner. Now, thanks
10 Browne, he can sit back with no
loss of prestige and proclaim:
"Well, what else d'ya expect :?
How'm gonna beat a spade that
is naturally built to run faster ?"
OF course Brownies theory does
not take into account the perform
ances of Charlie Paddock, Frank
Wykoff, r. A. Locke, Loren Muir
Gibson, Emmett TOPPING, Jack Ell
der, Ed Siegal, Bob McAllister and
a few other "spook" runners who
managed to do rather well them
selves. The Iowa scientist" how
ever might nationalize their sue
cess by saying "the inherent men
tai superiority of the white race
permits its members to overcome
the handicaps of nature!"
You see a smart man with a lit
tie knowledge of science and some
aptness with words can explain al
most anything.
Next Browne vii probably turn
to our high-jumper who are at
last coming into their own. That
viii probably be explained by Ne
groes having more springy mus
cles as a result of our ancestors
having to dodge snakes in Africa.
And our broad jumpers are descen-
dants of people who couldn't wade
across rivers because of so many
crocodiles.
If n9thing else. this proves just
how serewy is this country of ours.
When a spook does something it's
taken for granted that, being
white, he ought to; If spade gets
to the top it's unnatural" and an
analysis shows it's the result of an
unusual development found only In
biack folk.

The tide Of battle changed in the
fifth round. Steele began to show
more confidence and began to land
those tell tale blows to the body
which really spelled doom and de-
feat to the champion.
Steele never looked better in his
life and this fight will go long
way to silence those slyeptics who

Faith Baldwin takes up the
drama Of hospital corridors in
Private Duty" the story Of a
graduate nurse. Patients and doc
tors and other nurses with profes-
sional and personal problems keep
the plot moving, but it must be
admitted that Private Duty" falls
short Of the excitement provided
in "The Moons Our Home"
Caroline Cutler, r. NJ, is to be
sure, much tanner creature than
the harum-Scarum Cherry Chester,
motion picture actress. And no
one could expect Miss Baldwin to
go on forever clarifying the spec
tacular types introduced in 1.-THE
Moons Our Home" Nevertheless,
her serious writing in American
Family" and the interesting stories
she told of working women in "Sky-
scraper" and 1.-THE Office Wife"
lead the reviewer to expect some
thing little more solid than the
tale she tells in Private Duty"
However, it'll make easy reading
for a hot evening. You can finish
it between dinner and bedtime,
with no intellectualS headaches to
spoil your relaxation.
