 Yes, the Catholic church Is the church of the ignorant-the church of the intelligentsia--te church for every man, no matter what his race, color, social status or type of mind.
 Wheu you hear of the ignorant Catholic, remember that the pages of history are replete with names in literature, science, art, progress and learning of every description, of which not only Catholics but the world itself is proud.
 To know more of the Catholic church-its history, It's people, its beliefs and practices-w be, we think, interesting.

CUMMINGS MAY . NAME WHOLEAN
Hartford Commissioner Candidate for Assistant
 U. s. Attorney Post

U. s. Commissioner William Who- lean of Hartford is being mention ed prominently in state political cir- cles as successor to John T. Culli- nan of Bridgeport in the post of as- sistant U, 8. district attorney for Connecticut. Attorney Cullinan's resignation from the position has been accepted by Attorney General Homer 8. Cummings.
 Attorney Cullinan retired from the federal service in order to be- come prosecuting attorney for the city of Bridgeport. His resignation was submitted July and accepted July 6.
 It is known that U. s. Attorney Robert P. Butler visited Washington some days ago, and 1t is believed that he may have discussed with Mir. Cummings the appointment of an assistant.
 The only possible hitch in the ap- pointment of MT. Wholean Is the fact that National Committeeman David Fitzgerald of New Haven recommends another candidate. Mir. Cummings and MT. Wholean are good friends, and the attorney gen- eral undoubtedly would like to give the appointment to the Hartford man.
 Attorney Cullinan recently re- signed as town chairman of the democratic party in Bridgeport He served e term as state president of the Young Democrats and has been active in state politics.
 The appointment is expected to be made within the next two weeks.

BAZAAR TO OPEN
 4 MONDAY EVENING
St. Lucy's Parish Presents
 Program of Interesting !. Features Next Week

The opening of the annual bazaar of St. Lucy's church which will be held at the corner of Griggs and Grant streets on Monday evening will be featured by one of the most thrilling aerial acts ever shown in Waterbury. The performers of this act are the Looping Nixes' with their Globe of Death. The bazaar will close on July 24.
 Many concessions have been add ed to the affair this year and for the sole benefit of the kiddies the committee has secured swing ride. This should prove to be very popular.
 q Defying the laws of gravitation every second of the way, two speed demons race around a steel lattice cage at a dizzy pace, stop abruptly to take a bow and then resume their mad, luck-touched series Of dazzling circuits in their Globe of Death" apparatus. Stopping just long enough to catch their breath, they continue their reckless aban- don around the dangerous lattice- work, which sends out great din for nearly half a mile as a result . of the combination of noises pro- duced by the great impress Of hard driving racing motorcycle on cold steel animated and heated by sheer friction.
 One the perfect residence of their cycle tires seem to prevent them from crashing through the thin steel barrier standing between them and an uncertain fate. Residence and, perhaps, the skillful manner in which they have mastered the laws of centrifugal force.
 Who are these motor maniacs? They are, of course, the Looping Mixes, with Grady Nix, king of daredevil cyclists, and fearless Bun- ny Nix, the Australian "Mile-a Min ute" girl, and they have thrilled blood -thirsty audiences from one . end of the world to the other. {. The committee in charge of the . event follows:
 A Honorary chairman, Rev. Felix Ecogio, pastor; chairman, Rev. Alex D. Riccio: executive committee, William Giordano Joseph Summa, Michael Manfredi, William Tedor, Concetta Ciaccio, Mary scalo, Ange- line Sumna, Louise Mazzaferro; tic- ket committee, Rocco Palladino, Henry Minicucci, Elsie Pcrillo, Mary piccolo.

 Passing.

Later in life, we found him con- nected with the city health de- pertinent, where his exceptional handling of the troublesome garb- age question received the com- mendation of newspapers, and general public. He was Q worker, a plugger in fact, and no one loafed while he was In the city employ. Quick as flash, he moved so rapidly that he seldom If ever neglected a complaint from any part of the city. Johnny Caffery surely earned every pen- ny the city paid him.
 Of late years he had been em- ployed of and on In some of the WPA projects. He knew his stuff in excavation, and was a most valuable man for such supervision.
 His residence had been out here on Beecher avenue, for a few years, but some years back, he lived in the West End and repre- sented that district in many of the old time political battles.
 Conversati ati0nalist
 A first class conVerSationalist, John was interesting company, be- cause no one could tell Q story better. As with Joe Begnal, John was of the old stock, whose word could be trusted to the last. He believed in decency toward all, and peace and quiet to his fellow men. and ileighbor.
 We knew him well; we liked to hear him talk. We admired his ways, and we felt good in his pres- ence.
 Waterbury was most dear to him; so were those he was born with, and those who were born here after him.
 A native born Waterburian was everything to him.
 Waterbury misses men built on the lines of Johnny Caffrey.
 Eds Note: The Out Easter was the author of the article which appeared in Thursday evenings Democrat praising Lieutenant James Wagner of the Waterbury Police department and answering a criticism on traffic signs. The story as all Out Easter's stories do, attracted considerable attention.

"Life" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text Is from Luke 20:37,3e: "Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he caileth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the 0od Of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For he Is not Q God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him."
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, "gcience and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following citation from page $50: i5.23 The: "The continual conteni. piation of existence as material and corporai--as beginning and ending. with birth, decay, and dissolution as its component stages hides the true and spiritual Life, and causes our standard to trail in the dust If Life has any starting point what. soever, then the great I AM is myth.

The lesson of today only en- forces what we have already considered concerning Gods encour- agement of Moses and his streng- thening of a leader who felt his own weakness and inadequacy.
 We are told, sometimes, that the God of these ancient Israelites was a tribal God, and that they had not found the glorious conception that arose in later Israel and in New Testament times, of God Of the whole earth.
 But it is something more than such a limited conception that one finds in the representation of God as speaking to Moses. When Moses asks his name and how he shall know and tell his people of the divine reality, the reply is that he is to say, T AM hath sent mo unto you"
 T AM THAT I AM" -- what a noble conception that is, convey ing SO magnificently the empha- sis upon the living presence of dodl This God of the Fathers is an everlasting God, @ cove nant making and & covenant keeping God in whom men of devotion and faith can find se- curity and strength.
 Moses is still concerned about his lack of qualification as q lead CT. He is conscious that he Is not eloquent. He is slow of speech and of tongue. Here again though, lack of eloquence is not to be despised How many great and real lead CTS have been feeble in speech
 This was one of the com plaints against Paul, whom we have compared to Moses, that his presence was weak, and that he lacked the gift of speech, Of Apollos, and others. But one can think of many. men small in stature and unimpressive in pres- ence and speech who have, never theless, been the creators and inc spirers of great causes and nlove- nients, and who have accomplish ed almost incredible things simply because faith and determination have driven them, and they have become the medium of Q greater power than themselves
 The Lord rebuked Moses be. cause of his lack of faith in him- self. "Who hath made mans mouth? or who maketh Q mar dumb, or deaf, or seeing, ol blindP" Cannot God, in HI power, give words to men who lack eioquence?
 Nevertheless, Moses found mouthpiece in Aaron, his broth CT, who was evidently man oi words as Moses was Q ban oi action.
 Thus equipped, with c new inner strength and with the support of the eloquent Aaron Moses goes down to his task tt face Pharaoh in the name of thu God of Israel, and to say, "Let my people go, that they may hold c feast unto me in the will derneas."
 It was not to be as easy ( task as Moses might have sup- posed. Gods will is for the de. iiverance and safety of his chil. dren, but there are problems oi human freedom and destiny that man has to work out in co-oper. ation with God, end the devint power does not work miracles where men themselves fail. Tht way that was before Moses wal

William B. Fitzgerald, after iT1- vestigation by County Detective Ko- land G. filling, 62 pleaded guilty, and were either sentenced to de- tention terms, or otherwise made disposition of, six were granted nolleS, two cases are still under continuances, and the remaining three pleaded not guilty, were found to be guilty, and sentenced to terms in jail.
 Convictions
 Seven were convicted of serious charges and sentenced to states prison at Wethersfield during the past year of court, and nineteen were sentenced to New Haven coun- ty jail. One woman was sentenced to an indefinite term in the State Farm at Mantle. Four other ac- cused were found guilty and simply fined as penalty for law breaches, Two youths were sentenced to terms in the reformatory at Cheshire, while six others were given sus. pended sentences to the same in- stitution.
 In 1886 there were l2o cases dis. posed of; in 1885, 9l; 1884, 82: 1883, s4; 1882, 130, and 1881, ile.
 Seven bench warrants were sworn out during the year, six at one time to bring in youthful offenders, and the other to bring Melvin Farmer of Naugatuck before superior court on a serious statutory charge.
 Eventful Cases
 In the opinion of County Detec- tive Roland G. filling the two most eventful cases of the year were those of Harold Cider" Maxwell, and Jerry Stewart, both charged With manslaughter. Maxwell is now serving a term of two to six years in states prison on the charge which arose from the death by beating of Harry B. Watts. Stew. art drew a similar sentence for the knife-death of John Clapps.
 Sentences were imposed and sus- pended on twenty-two of the acc cused who faced court during the year. Probation Officer William M. Harris was given the guidance of l9 new charges for variable periods, by Judges who presided at the four superior court terms during the sea- son
 Commenting on the compara- lively few cases on the years docket, States Attorney Lewis said, Tt is quite apparent that this city is en- toying an era of peace and quietude along law-breaking lines." County Detective filling believes that Wa terburys known criminals are where they can cause no trouble, and that IS the reason for the few cases.
 Auto Cases
 Burglaries and thefts were the principal charges preferred during the past year, there being l4 of the former and 12 of the latter. There were 10 cases of using an automo- bile without permission. Some other charges inclued. three of em- bezzlement; six of obtaining money under false pretenses; three of Tnanslaughter; three of indecent as- sault, seven of receiving stolen goods, and four of violating the mo- tor vehicle laws.

to test alike his faith, his cour- age, and his strength.
 The call of Q man to 6 great task is only the first incident in his destiny.
 The real time of testing comes not In his acceptance of the call, but in the power of faith affd will with which he holds to his task, day after day, no matter what the discouragements and no matter what the dangers.
 Moses became a great leader not merely through his call, but by the strength of his faith and his unyielding will.

Cops Challenge Bremen To Race
 In "Mud BargeS"

Waterbury's policemen and !, firemen now have a real chance to get their oars in.
 Races between crews repre- senting police and fire depart mentS of cities and towns about the state will be a feature of the Governors Regatta at New London Sept. 1, and the Brass City's "finest" and "bravest" have been invited to take part. The invitation came from May sor Leo B. Began of New London. k The firemen have not yet de- Cided on the makeup of their crew, and 8 bitter battle Is going for the coveted places. Try-outs will be held at Lake Quassapaug and Hitchcock lake, with special rubber tubes attached to the boats. The tubes will be used to prevent a repeti- ton of the disaster which Oc- cured a few days ago at Q pre- liminary tryout when the boat sank.
 The police have named Sergt. Joseph "Tex" Bagley to act as coach and coxswain. Instead of the conventional seat in the boat. Sergt. Bagley will exhort his crew from 8 specially built saddle. This is because of the Sergeant's familiarity with hors- es and his long career as an equestrian.
 The police and fire crews may race each other a few times to get into condition for the re- gatta, but plans are held in abeyance while the policemen find someone who knows how to steer the boat.

Q. What is holy water. and


 why do Catholics use it?
 A. Holy water is water blessed by a priest according to the form in the Roman ritual. It is a sacramental, that is, an object which in its use bears some re- semblance to Q sacrament. Its principal use is at the Sunday Asperges, or blessing of the con- gregation in church before the high mass on Sundays, and 1t is used in nearly every blessing the church gives. Catholics dip their fingers in holy water on enter ing church, and make the sign of the crosS. aS Q symbolic wash- ing and act of recollection, and 1t Is the custom to do the same on leaving.
 It Is also used by Catholics on going to bed, and getting Up, in moments of temptation, and on other occasions. In Catholic homes 1t b c pious custom to keep . small font of holy water near the door, 50 that one may bless oneself on going out.
 q. Do synagogues have family pews?
 A. Only c small proportion of synagogues boast of family pews. Tn most of them the women are separated from the men. The separation of the sexes undoubt- edly dates back to the "court for women" in the temple. The req. sons given for this separation are, the Biblical precedent that women were not permitted tc enter the premises Of the sane tuafy, and the fear that ti1ej presence might distract the at tenticn of men in their deyG tons.
