ROME EXPELS
NEWSMAN

ROME Sept. II GN.S0.-For
diSpatching a false story alleging
the italian government had
broken up q widespread Com
munist plot against the Fascist
government, Henry Gorrell, act
ing head of an American news
agency bureau here, was ordered
expelled from Italy today.
The story was officially de-
clared to be without foundation.
1t was believed a distorted out
growth of recent anti-BolShevist
demonstrations by enthusiastic
blackshirts, who stopped young
men on the streets because they
were wearing red neckties and
compelled them to remove the Of
tending articles of clothing.
Forty-two men were thus stop
ped and accused by the demon
Strators of wearing Communist
neckwear." Police took the dem
onstrators into custody on charges
Of interfering with public lib
erty," but all were later released.
At the Terni Munitions Center,
six or eight men suspected of dis
trlbuting Communist literature in
the waShroomS of the plant were
arrested two weeks ago. Beyond
this, officials say, there has been
nothing whatsoever in the nature
of q plot"

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICE substance" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Prov erbs 3:9: Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase"
 Selections from the Bible include the following (Hebrews II: 1, 3, @ /: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. But without faith 1t is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
 Readings from the Christian Sci- ence textbook: "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the fol- lowing: "A New Testament writer plainly describes faith, @ quality of mind, as the substance of things hoped for.' Ideas are tangible and real to immortal consciousness and they have the advantage oi being eternal. In proportion as the belief disappears that lift and intelligence are in or of mat. ter, the immortal facts of being are seen, and their only idea ol intelligence is in God" (page 270: 3, 11-12, 16-lO.

Packages sent by parcel post from this country to Italy must hence- forth be accompanied by a certif- icate of origin regardless of the fla- ture of the contents, according to instructions received by Charles B. Platt, superintendent of mails, and forwarded to Postmaster Charles A. Babin to-day. These certificates are obtainable from and must be visaed by an Italian consul.
 Italian residents of the city this morning were somewhat puzzled by the new regulation, which according to postal authorities, is in compli- ance with instructions from the Italian government.
 Protective Measure
 In most quarters it was construed as a measure of protection. prob ably against packages containing internal machines.
 Waterburians of Italian birth, or extraction, send to Italy in 8 con- stant stream, packages of clothing and other merchandise, one prom inent Italian citizen said to-day. He declared the new regulations will be inconyenient, to say the least, in- asmuch as the nearest Italian consul is at New Haven. The order is ef- fective at once and is applicable throughout America. It reads as follows:

Q. Explain the significance of the Jewish ceremony of blessing lighted candles on Fri- day night.
 A. In the book of Esther (8:16) 1t is written, "The Jews had light and gladness and joy and honor" Light and joy go naturally together, and on the Sabbath eve the Sabbath joy is traditionally symbolized by addi- tional lights on or around the Sabbath table. The blessing which is said by the mother as she lights the lights is, Blessed art Thou, Lord, our God, Ruler of the universe. Thou has sanc- tiled us with Thy command ments and enjoined upon us the lighting of the Sabbath lights" These lights have to be kindled half an hour or more before the stars appear. They signify the beginning of the Sabbath and the invocation of the Sabbath blessing on the home.
 Q. What is the basis in modern thought for the belief i'm individual conscious life after physical death?
 A. Prof. Herbert L. Willett answers: Many thoughtful peo- pie today frankly confess their skepticism regarding hun an survival of death. Others are in- different to the matter, content to allow the future to take care of itself. "One world at a time" is their creed. Science has no assured testimony on the sub- ject. Many scientists of repute are firm believers in the Chris tian doctrine of the life to come. Others are completely negative nj their attitude. Spiritism has no convincing evidence to offer. although many interesting facts have been disclosed by psychic &CocokCHs
