Much interest is being manifested this week in the four day Catechetical Con- gress of the National Confraternity of Christian Doctrine at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City, sponsored and opened by Cardinal Hayes Sunday. It repre-. sents, perhaps, the largest gathering of Catholic educators that has ever con- vened for the purpose of spread ing Catholic teaching. One of the most important accomplishments to be brought before the congress is the re- vision of the Baltimore penny cate chism" in use for Catholic school chil- dren for fifty years.

Chinese Demands

From Chinese sources comes the news that General Chiang Kai Shek has taken a leaf from Japan's book of behavior and has made four strong demands of Japan instead of accepting that country'S de- mands on China. The demands reported were:
 1. Immediate withdrawal of all Japanese bluejackets thrown into the Shanghai area following the murder of a Japanese sailor and wounding of two others.
 2. Immediate withdrawal of Jap anese troops holding Fengtai in north China. Japanese surrounded a Chinese garrison there and threat ened war after an alleged attack on Japanese. The Chinese garrison withdrew peacefully.
 3. Suppression of all Japanese sponsored societies opposing consti- tuted Chinese authorities, particu- larly group indulging in widespread smuggling in north China.
 4. A Sino-Japanese understand ing giving China a free hand in east Hopei Province, where a Japanese controlled council has declared an autonomous government.
 It seems obvious that Japan can't or won't accept any such demands as these. But their presentation, if true, indicates q strengthening resistance to Japanese domination on the part of Chinese leaders. That might precipitate war, or it might precipitate only battle of de- flands and counter demands which would delay physical Possibilities.

Ifs High Time

It is good and encouraging news to read that efforts are to be made to have the Legislature approve list of "crying" needs at Connecticut State College. If the list goes through as now prepared the state will spend over period of two years $1,000,000 on the institution. That may seem like lot of money to spend on an educational institution in these days of distress and need, but it is only giving the college its just due.
 For years efforts have been made to bring the college up to the standard of similar ones maintained by other states. It took patient years of education of our citizens and our legislators to convince them that the school at Storrs wasn't merely one that could turn out firSt-claSS farmers. Now that this battle has been won and the public has learned that our state college is one in every sense of Che word, it is necessary to build up the fences that were left trampled down in the fight to win recognition as an institution ot higher learning.
 Classroom and laboratory, as well as living quarters, have been neglected. They must be improved and new ones constructed. So great has been the de- mand for entrance of recent years that all facilities have been strained to the bursting point. It is now necessary to take action so that the plishmentS of the past few years may be made per manent and expansion of the school continued. While the heads of the college are not proposing to make a university that will care for thousands, they are hopeful of creating one that will care for the present high registration of over 800. The least Connecticut can do is make her state college the very best, so that maximum results may be obtained.

WAS THE BEGINNING OF AIS DISSIPATION OF THE SIDE WALKS OF NEW YORK. FROM THAT TIME ON HE WENT MORE AND MORE WALL, STREET.
 Mrs. Smith
 I went with Raskob to the Houston conventoin that nomin- ated Smith to run against Hoov- CT in 1928. Riordan was along and Mrs. Smith, and we all went in Bill Kenny's private car.
 When we got to Houston, the convention managers wanted to lock Mrs. Smith in her room, so every day I took her out motoring. Raskob did too. But finally Mrs. Smith got wise to what was up and that they didn't want her around; so she telephoned Al in Albany.
 Eddie and John Raskob," she told him, fare the only peO- pie who have been nice to me-"
 By this time Raskob had done all kinds of things for Al, and one day Smith asked me what he could do for Raskob to make it up.
 sMake him chairman of the democratic national committee" I suggested.
 'Do you think he'd accept?"
 "Ask him and see," I said. So Al got him on the phone and Raskob accepted like a shot. Bitterness
 After Al lost out to Hoover he got little bitter. In the same election, of course, Franklin Roose- welt had walked away with the governorship. THE FACT THAT HIS OWN NEW YORK STATE TURNED HIM DOWN AS PRESIDENT BUT ELECTED ROOSEVELT GOVERNOR GOT UNDER AIS SKIN.
 Also, he always had looked upon Roosevelt as his understudy, his boy, and expected that with Roosevelt in the executive man. sion, he, Al, still would be rum ming the state. So when Roose- welt started to be his own gov- ernor, SMITH GOT EVEN MORE BITTER. A wise parent would have been proud of the young ster he trained. BUT SMITH WAS NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR THAT.
 Franklin Roosevelt had not wanted to run for governor. He had been at Warm Springs most of the time, and the doctors had told him his health would not stand the grueling grind of the campaign. It might wipe out all the recovery he had made, they said.
 But Roosevelt took the chance anyway-for friend.
 There wasn't any one incident between Al and Frank. It was just slow, steady drift apart. As bitterness, RO0seveIt's de- termination to run the office to which he had been elected, and AIS increasing association with the RaskObs, the duPOnts, and all the others who sit round the mahogany board tables and work for bigger and fatter divi- dends-that was what caused the break.
 AL CAME FROM THE SIDE WALKS OF NEW YORK, AND AS LONG AS HE WALKED THE SIDEWALKS HE WAS A GREAT HUMAN BEING. BUT YOU CAN'T EXPECT A GUY WHO IS Ill STORIES UP IN THE CLOUDS TO FEEL THE HEARTBEAT OF THE MAN DOWN IN HIS OLD FISH MAR KET.

0bservatory's 40.1nch Reflector
Expected to Be Ready for
Public Soon.

Washingtonians and Capital Wis
itors will soon have an opportunity
to view the stars and other heavenly
bodies through the United States
Naval Ohservatory's 40inch reflector,
now being re-silvered after being out
of commission since last Spring.
The silvering process, an exceed
ingly delicate operation, is now being
done under the direction of the OBJ
servatory director, Capt. ]. F. He'll
veg, and will be completed within a
week unless flaw should develop.
The reflector, known to astrono-
mer as the Ritchie- Chretien aplanatic
type, will be the largest in the coun-
try available to the general public.
Larger reflectors and telescopes in
other parts Of the country are restrict
ed to use by astronomers and scien-
lists.
The aplanatic feature of the re-
hector Is the special curved design
which makes objects seen at the edges
as clear as those n the center. In
ordinary reflectors, images become in
creasingly indistinct according to their
distance from the center.
The huge reflector, weighing 900
pounds and costing $4,000, was
slightly damaged while being removed
last May to be re-silvered. One or
two almost imperceptible flaws de-
: veloped, which had to be ground out
before the silvering could be done.
: When the work IS completed, per-
mission to look through the reflector
can be obtained "by appointment"
only. Cards may be secured by
writing or calling at the observatory.

came back and rested on his. "You

Just what did you mean?" His

Jack gasped once, his eyes snapped
and he turned on his heel. He didn't

around. He stumbled automatically
down the heavily carpeted stairway.
AS he reached the landing below
he heard a soft voice from above:
Eyes, and you're still being carbon

"Well-uh-go goodnight" he husked
as he bent his face closer to veras.
Vera smiled slightly and pushed
him away. "You know, Jack" she
said suddenly, you're just like every

dramatic suddenness.
She looked up at him suddenly and
her smile wiped away all his fears.
They went to the dance floor. They
talked happily, then danced and talked
and danced.
Jack wanted to ask her if she still
thought he was carbon copy" but
instead he pressed her close and
whirled her around the tiny floor.
