I ance the Knights of Columbus have branched out into several new &C., tivities, one of the most important of which is the formation of the Knights of Columbus Catholic Youth Organization. The organization now counts hundreds of members from different districts of Manila. Five branches have been opened, each with well equipped recreation halls and athletic grounds, at Sampaloc church, St. Ignatius Mission house, Knights of Columbus club house, Padre Faura Cat the Ateneo de Manila, the great Jesuit Philippine College), and opposite the Arellano high school.
 The Catholic Youth Organization is entirely non-profitmaking and is supported by other charitable groups and generous individuals. In each of Its branches are reading and recreation rooms, athletic grounds and gymnasiums.
 Graduates and students of the Ateneo de Manila, as well as stu dents of the University of the Phil ippines, and members of the Knights of Columbus have done splendid work in helping to conduct the var ious centers. During the school va cation from April to June, a vaca- tion basketball league was in prog ress in its branches in Tondo, Sam paloc, Knights of Columbus Club House, Singalong, Intramuros, Er- mita, Santa and Paco.
 Welfare Work
 The Catholic Youth Organization of Manila is designed to promote the general welfare of boys, to provide for needed healthful recreation and athletic sports, to prevent juvenile delinquency, vagrancy and the like. Reading rooms have been estab- lished to provide good literature for growing boys. These, of course, are well stocked with Catholic books and with the best fiction of English literature, as well as with good magazines both Catholic and secular.
 The great purpose behind this Catholic Youth Organization of Manila is to make it possible for the church to reach the growing boys who are being educated in the pub lie schools. There are vast numbers who in years past have never been touched by the church. Many of these boys are extremely poor, be- yond any concept of what our American people call poverty. Many of their families scarcely see one centavo from one week to another. If they receive any education at all it is in the public schools, and the public schools of the Philippines have done as much and much greater harm than the public school system of the United States. In ef- feet it is the same system but be- cause America is looked upon in the Philippines as great leader, it has been a rather usual thing for young Filipinos to blindly follow the bigots and sophisticated American teach CTS who have taught them that all good Americans are Protestant.
 Catholic literature and especially the popular Catholic pamphlets published by the Paulist Press, America Press and Queens Work Press, are much in demand in the reading rooms of the Catholic Youth Organization.

MARTYR FUNERAL
 FOR DEAD SUDETEN

Prague, Czechoslovakia, Aug. 10.- (UP)-Sudeten German leaders pre- pared a martyr" funeral today for Wenzel Bayerle, party member who was stabbed to death in a bar room fight, as the latest symbol of their complaints against the Czechs.
 But coincidently arrangements were made for the first direct ne- gotiations between the government and Sudeten party leaders, with Viscount Runciman, British govern ment adviser" probably sitting in as mediator.
 The prospect of negotiatio with Gunciman's cooperation, was so heartening that despite the anger reused by Bayerle's death, the mer- curial minorities atmosphere seemed to have improved materially.
 Premier Milan Hodza hoped to have first ID ,eting with the Ger man minority leaders late today.

 He traced the history of govern ment through 80 years, claiming through example and illustration that the Republican party through its entire history consistently has been friendly to labor from the time it was first organized to end the most oppressive of all labor abuses, slavery, until the present day, it has always endeavored to help the men and women who earn their living in the sweat of their Night of Labor
 The Republican spokesman laid claim for the Republican party to labor and social service legislation in several states during the years before the Roosevelt administration, remarked, "The most fundamental right of labor is the right to or ganize, the right to select repre- sentatives to deal with employers on matters of hours of labor, wages, and working conditions. The Re- publican party recognizes that it is essential that workers have the right to organize, both for collective bar gaining and to better their position wherever possible"
 Accompanying National Commit teeman Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., Green wich Young Republican ally with Bradley in the Fairfield county com- bine, Chairman Hamilton will re- turn to New York tonight with Pryor to see the Armstrong; -Ambers fight, according to plan.

Privilege L ak
Ordinance Here
Passed By Board
Applies To Practically All West
Jefferson Merchants. Also
Gives Them Protection.

At a recent meeting of the board
of aldermen of West Jefferson, an
ordinance was passed setting up q
schedule of privilege and license
taxes for firms and peddlers opera
ting inside of the town limits.
Besides raising several hundred
dollars for the towns treasury, this
ordinance will also protect local
merchants from peddlers OF all
kinds.
Before peddlers can sell meats,
stoves, ranges, motor vehicles,
fruits, vegetables, printing, etc. in
the future, they will have to, pay the
special taxes. The tax for outside
solicitors is $500 and peddlers
range from $3.50 to $500.
i This is regarded as splendid fea-
ture and in many cases will save To-
cal merchants much more than their
cost for licenses. Peddling merchan-
disc of all kinds in West Jefferson
has become racket and the mer-
chants who have large investment,
employ local people and pay taxes
of all kind, have not been given
any protection. It is in line with the
de-at-home policy, it is stated.
Members of the board state that
this new ordinance will be rigidly
enforced. Practically all towns in
the state have such taxes.
The schedule for different con-
Germs is printed elsewhere in this is
sue. Dean Mcmillan, town clerk,
states that it was prepared after
careful investigation of rates charg-
ed in other towns and that those
listed are only about
one-half of what the state schedule
''B" allows the town to collect.
