cent of the crop in Glass C. which was
purchased for 2.85 cents per pound"

Glass 81 and &C. so far this season
were found to be prematurely harvest
ed, picked before thoroughly dry or
improperly stacked, or a combination
of the three faults"

Q. What has religion t0 say es to the statement of the Brook ings institute that if every fam lily in America had $250O a year VIC should bo happier people?
 A. Religious teachers would tgree that happiness cannot be bought with money. The happi- ness of the families that consti- tute the American population is not directly proportionate to their respective income. 'Happi- ness is 8 state of mind and is dependent upon spiritual ele- mentS. History affords abundant examples of the association of poverty with happiness and & most casual observance of our neighborS will persuade most of us that some of the rich find little real satisfaction in life.
 At the same time, religious teachers recognize that the phy- Sical and spiritual privations which poverty entails are among the most formidable hindrances to happiness. There Is no argu- ment but that, other things be- ing equal, the widespdead pos- session among the families of America of an income sufficient to secure the necessities and comfort of life, make possible a degree of leisure and recreation and of security that would en- ormously increase the likelihood of happiness.
 Whether the figure mentioned by Brookings institute is the amount on the average needed for these purposes is a matter of judgment, but there can be no doubt but that in general any, thing that raises the material well-being of the mass of fami- lies in America will add to their happiness.

 Citing these figures, which were compiled by the police accident squad, Police Superintendent Will liam J. Roach today issued 10 rules for safe driving. Care on the part of drivers, he said would bring about sharp reduction in local ac- cidents.
 Supt. Roach said:
 "TWo weeks ago ten "DONTS" were suggested by the police depart n1ent for the pedestrian to observe. This week we have simple 10 point safe-driving plan for the motorist to follow; by doing so the motorist will be classified as "Safe Driver" The definition of a Safe Driver is: The motorist who pays strict atten- tion to the movement of traffic and who observes all traffic rules and regulations and who realizes that other persons are equally anxious to reach their destinations quickly and safely. The ten point plan is as follows: 1. Never overtake a car unless you are positive that there is ample space ahead; that means, of course never pass on curve or hill.
 9. Slow down when approaching all intersections including private drive-ways and thus have your car under complete control and prepared to stop.
 3. Slow down when approaching any child or pedestrian and thus be prepared for any unexpected move ment. .e
 4. Keep your brakes and lights, in fact your entire car, in good condi- tion, as safe 8 condition as when 1t was new. 5. Stop on red traffic signals and stay stopped until the light has turned green. Rushing signals in- vites danger.
 6. Come to a dead stop at Stop Signs because the other fellow has the right of way.
 T. If you have been drinking don't drive. Of course, you believe you are sober but the evidence is all against the sober drivers who have been drinking.
 8. Slow down to compensate for slippery streets caused by rain, snow or ice.
 g. Slow down when driving at night. There is no substitute for daylight when it comes to visibility.
 10. Always drive at speed which will permit you to stop within the assured clear distance ahead. If you don't get in a jam, you won't have to get out of one.
 T ask each and every driver in Waterbury: Aren't these simple rules to keep in mind?" An inn portant item to bear in mind at all times is the Golden Rule; Do unto others; as others would do unto you" If each driver would follow these rules and abandon the Devil May Care" attitude; he would be working with the police in their safety activities and not against them."

Customs and even sound prin- ciples tend to- lose their reality when obedience to them becomes formal and conventional. They tend also in the same way to become matters of bigotry and prejudice rather than of vital and intelligent conviction. A distinctive institution of Juda- ism in the days of Jesus was the Sabbath. It was a noble institution based upon 8 fine conception and 8 sense of human need. It was the precursor of the Christian Sunday, which many Christians prefer to call the Sabbath, linking it with the Jewish institution rather than. with the pagan derivation from which the word Sunday" comes. There is no doubt whatever that Jesus, as 8 sincere and devout Jew, highly regarded the Sabbath; but He found this noble institution giv- en over in the minds of many peo- pie to purely formal observance, and to mere observance of sort that utterly disregarded all sense of deeper human need and of higher human ValueS.
 When He healed a man upon the Sabbath Day, instead of rejoicing that a fellow mortal had found health, the narrow people for whom observance of the Sabbath had be- come matter of prejudice and bi- gotry found fault because the man had been healed on the Sabbath Day.
 Our lesson tells how the disci- ples, as they went through the grain fields on the Sabbath Day and were hungry, plucked the ears and began to eat the wheat, just as many of us, when we were boys, have done. With these disciples 1t was a matter of sheer hunger.
 Why should they not have taken the food that was near at hand and

that required no work of prepara- tion other than rubbing 1t in the palm of the hand and ;winnowing it? Yet the bigots complained that these disciples were breaking the Sabbath.
 It was under these circumstances that Jesus asserted in the plaineSt way that "the Sabbath was made ; for man, and not man for the Sab- bath" That is principle that we might establish and practice in the whole range of customs and observ- anceS.
 When customs and observances become exalted to a place where they Supplant human values and human nedS, 1t Is time to protest in the name of humanity, and it is sound to protest in the name of God.
 In our modern world, of course, the whole matter is in measure reversed. We tend today to have lost all sense of sanctity concerning 8 day of rest, to say nothing of the Jewish or Christian Sabbath.
 It will be recognized that in our modern complex world it would be impossible to arrange everything on basis of old-fashioned or strict observance of Sunday. It would mean that vast numbers of people would be subjected to great incon- venience, and possibly even to hun- ger and distress. We could not stop and paralyze our whole mechanism of life at certain hour on Satur- day evening. f.
 Nevertheless, 1t Is not for the good of humanity or for the world that we have so far abandoned the pos- sible observance of Sunday as day of rest, and above all, the spirit of the institution.
 If Jesus were in our cities today. l think possibly He might put the emphasis on different place. We might think of Him as saying, '"The Sabbath was made for man. Why doesn't man make better use of it2"

Catholic church was taken in 1886, when the Sacred Congrega- tion of Rites began the prelimi- nary investigation of her life to determine if she should be de? clared a saint.
 She was not an American, but there Is widespread interest in America in her cause because she spent most of her life in America, and accomplished all her work here, chiefly while living in New York city. Mother Cabrini founded 67 convents, several of which were devoted to the care of Italian immigrant children and Italian orphans, at a time when there were not sufficient Italian-speaking cler- gy and religious to take care of the large numbers of Italian Catholic immigrants to Amer ica.
 Recently a public square near a high school founded by Mother Cabrini, on Washington heights, was named Mother Cabrini square.
 Q. Was the tenth of income paid by the Jews in Biblical days 8 tax?
 A. The tenth of the income of Jews paid during Biblical days was a tax. Called the "tithe," 1t was the basic proportion in taxation or gifts in the Jewish state. Samuel q Sam. VIII, l5, I'D warned the Israelites that they would have to give their king a tenth part of all their resources; the tithe was refer red to earlier in Genesis XIV, 20. Originally the tithe was Ill kind, and therefore was charge on both capital and income, ex- cept in the ownership of land.
 With the destruction of the temple, tithes were no longer given, although Jewish writings suggest that the tenth should be devoted to charity and many in- dividuals stil. assess themselves a tenth of their income for tnls| purpose.
