 What about the girls that are lured here from all parts of the country, believing that the streets of the City of New York are paved with gold, and that they wil find Help Wanted" signs on every building? What happens to them2 We don't want to place them in penal institu- tions. We can't. They haven't committed any crime. But we have got to take care of them; we have got to protect them from themselves, and the human vultures that bring them here. Who takes care of them? The Salvation Armyy Army Paid Tribute
 Missing Persons? We have nearly a thousand people who disappear monthly in the City of New York. Nobody knows where they go. They literally disappear. Think of the grief, the anguish, the heartbreaks of mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters. Who cooperates with us in locating miss ing persons? The Salvation Army! pay high tribute to The Salya- ton Army, and on behalf of the police department want to warmly thank the men, and women in # for all the cooperation and support that we receive.

Probation After Death" will be the subject of the lesson-sermon.
 The golden text is from Revela- ton 14:13: T heard 8 voice from Heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors: and their works do follow them"
 Selections from the Bible include the following passage from Prov- erbs 1928: Tn the way of righte- ousness is life; and In the pathway thereof there Is no death"
 Correlative readings for the Chfis- tian science textbook, ."Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following from page 426:5-16: "The discoverer of Christian Science finds the path less dificult when she has the high goal always before her thoughts, than when she counts her footsteps in endeavoring to reach 1t. When the destination is desirable, expectation speeds our progress. The struggle for truth makes one strong of worrying one. If the belief in death were obliterated, and the uri- derstanding obtained that there is no death. this would be 8 tree of life,' known by its fruits"

Weekly Sunday School Lesson THE OBEDIENCE OF NOAH
Text: Genesis S:2O-22; S.8-1g

of the Old Testament in its message concerning the inclusive love of God; yet he points out that in the popular mind this truly wonderful book" has degepeFated into . joke about Jonah and the whale.
 It is pr. Pattpn's purpose to save the glorious book of Jonah and the instructive story of Noah from such popular degradation; and 1t is the purpose of this lesson on Noah'
 Anyone who senses with realism the problem of getting two animals of every kind Into an ark would very readily conclude that it is a story with imaginative details. This does not in any way affect the Ques- ton of whether the world was ever really deluged; more important, 1t has no effect at all upon the spiritual lessons of the story of Noah.
 Noah was not an ideal character. A great preacher, Dr. Charles E. Jefferson, in Q sermon on Noah once pictured him after the flood, with his glorious opportunity to build anew in a world where old foundations had been swept away, wasting the supreme chance by go- ing of and getting drunk.
 But Noah, despite his weaknesses and his sins, had clements upon which society could be built. Above all things he was capable of a covenant with God; and the great teaching of this story of Noah Is In this matter of the covenant-that man can build truly in life only as there is g covenant with the spirit ual forces of the universe or, we should say, with GodI and that this covenant brings man into right rela- tionships with every living thing.
 Suppose that, instead of 6 so- ciety in which each man and each class, in large measure is grasping for himself and his own interests, we had race of men zealous first of all about their own upriglltness, and then eager that this uprightness should be expressed in honesty to- ward one another, and in attitudes of consideration and mercy, where inequalities of strength and oppor- tunity laid obligation upon the strong to serve the weak.
 Here, in this conception of g covenant back in the dim areas of history, are the beginnings of that sublime teaching concerning the Kingdom of God and its realization on earth, that came to its fullest ex- republication and expression in the life and teaching of Jesus of Naza- reth. It is the covenant that is the important thing in the story of Noah.

Catholic Data

If Catholics worship pictures, statues and saints-if they think medals, holy water and the like. will in themselves prevent accidents, disease, lightning and drowning-if Catholics have no minds of their own and must vote and fight and act just as their priests ordef-then surely there is something wrong with the Catholics. Yes, something so wrong that they should never be permitted to have a hand in the running of this great country of ours.
 If. on the other hand, there Is no idolatry or superstition about any, thing Catholic-if all Catholics have 100 Der cent free will-if their pa- triotism is proved fact-if, in short, Catholics believe that their Faith has in 1t and behind 1t rea- son, common sense, 0od-given au- thority and a philosophy, which if generally adopted. would solve all present day problems-if Catholics have such Q story to tell to their non- Catholic neighborS and refuse to tell it-then again we say there is something wrong with the Cath olics-w0efully wrong.
 To enable fair-minded people of other creeds to know Catholic facts from Catholic sources, this society will publish information on things which Catholics believe, do and live day after day, believing that our messages will receive courteous att tention and credence because we have no religion to attack, TO axe to grind, no purpose in mind other than to engender understanding and goodwill which are SO necessary if America is to stand united against the evils that surround ,lS.
 We hope you will feel free to write us your opinion of our labor of love and to ask frank questions about anything Catholic which you may have in mind. Such questions will be courteously answered with out obligating you in any way.

At the present time there are N,I87 students in Waterbury at Wa kerbury Catholic High school, at Crosby and at Sacred Heart school kaking Latin. Crosby, with it's larger Student body leads the local schools with 016, according to an announce ment released by Miss Margaret Croft, head of the Latin department. Waterbury Catholic High has l99 girls taking Latin and at Sacred Heart 72 out of the 125 students are pursuing the subject.
 Required Study
 In all three of the local schools khe subject is required for the first two years. It Is probable that more than half the students drop the subject during their last two years. There are still 1,187 young Water burians who are supposed to wrestle each night with syntax and transla- lions.
 A recent report of the state board Of education shows that 38 per cent of the high school students in the state plan no further education after completion of their present courses. It is apparent then that in waterbury, with l,187 out of an esti- mated high school registration 5,6O0, practically all those planning to en- ter college are taking up Latin.
 More Popular
 The report of the state board also shows that there are more pupils taking Latin at the present time than ever before in the state his tory. This is so because 93 out or every 100 children are enrolled in high school in the cities and this in- creased registration tends also to swell the total number of boys ana girls taking Latin.
 Another reason for the great num- Der taking the subject, once con sidered rather dry, is due to the fact that now the subject is con- sidered more for what it actually represents than as a mental disci- pline" subject. It is not as dis agreeable to the average student as it was some eight or ten years ago when Latin had to be taken, with no sbuts, about it."

By HON. LEWIS J. VALENTINE (Police Commissioner, New Y0rl
 City)
 Thirty-four years ago l was rookie patrolman assigned to tht fred light district" of Brooklyn-noW fainiliarly known as the Jungle The first night out I met 8 beautiful young colored girl, lured up from the south. Fortunately, she had es- capped from . vice den and I en- countered her, weeping, in a colored district. Not knowing what to do with her, because of my inexperi- ence, I brought her to the old Adam street precinct.
 There we faced a young lieuten- ant, strict and stern, but whose heart was filled with the milk of human kindness. She might have been arrested as vagrant and ar- raigned in court. She had not visi- ble means of support. She was like iy to become a public charge.
 What did he do with her ? No Offense Lodged
 He called The Salvation Army and directed me to convey that girl to their quarters. That girl did not become g prisoner. She was not charged with any offense; The Sal- vation Army took care of that girl and returned her to her respectable parents in South Carolina.
 Thirty-four years makes great change in a city, in any army. Dur ing this time I have seen The Sal- vation Army grow in numbers and size and activities and in the affec- ton of the hearts of our people. The Salvation Army cooperates splendidly with the good people of the City of New York; with the great police army. We lean heav- lily upon the organization to help us solve our problems and difficulties. Salvationists are glad to help the homeless and defenseleSs man. who may be arrested as vagrant. What do they do with him? They feed

Patton is among those Christian scholars who believe that the modern thorough going study of the Bible has greatly en- riched the book as 8 source of spirit ual truth and guidance
 He points out that the liberalism with which readers have insisted upon reading stories from the early life of Israel, written years after the events, has not saved these stories from considerable degeneration in the popular mind.

Since such training is not given in non- Cathode schools, parents who send their children to such schools are bound under pain of mortal sin to supply such training fully and adequate ly. Since most parents are url- able to supply full and adequate religious training to their chil- dren, it becomes in most cases their obligation to send the chil- dren to Catholic schools.
 Parents may send their chil- dren to nop-C Catholic schools only when such practice is tol- erated by the bishop of the dio- cese. The state has the right to demand that the child be pre- pared for his duties as 6 citisen. Such training is given in paro- chial as well as public schools.
 e. Does the term .ycw" stand for a race or for . religion?
 A. For either or both. Juda- ism Is a religious term and de- nominates certain religious bee lefs and practices and the term Jew" may mean one who holds Q particular religious inheritance and teaching. There are several schools of Jewish Theology, such as orthodox, conservative and reform. On the other hand, "Jew" may denominate ( certain racial origin and history and may be traced back to the fourth century H. 0. and the group led hy Nehemiah and E8ra which was l0cnted in the southern oi Judean thence the neA Jew portlnn uf Palestine.
