Anh-Burglar Don Is Police Chief Advises Waterburians on How to Discourage, Prevent Looting of Homes by Sneak
 Thieves.

Precautions should be taken when home is left unoccupied at night, says Police Superintend- ent William J. Roach in 8 state ment today, the third of 8 series explaining how the public can aid police in crime prevention and de- lection through its efforts.
 Seven Points
 He lists seven points to be re- membered in leaving a home empty at night. If 8 householder should discover that his home has been entered, Supt. Roach advises that the police be called at once and nothing disturbed.
 Supt. Roach's statement fOl- lows: If you return home and find that apparently your home has been entered during your absence, please disturb nothing. Telephone the police at once. Protect the scene and leave everything exact ly as you find it, because you might destroy valuable evidence. such as fingerprints, before the police arrive.
 When leaving for the evening: l. Leave a light burning in the house; turn off your porch light. 3. Do not pull down your win- dow shades.
 3. Do not leave notes indicating the time you will return.
 4. Do not leave your key under the mat, over the door or in the mail box.
 5. Be sure that all doors and windows are securely locked. Get in the habit of double locking the doors.
 6. Close the garage doors; open garage doors reveal your absence. 2. Tell your neighbor how long you will be gone; ask him to keep an eye on your home but not to divulge the information to any, one else.
 Inspect Homes
 Another important item to bear in mind is: Don't leave valuable clothing or jewelry in a rear room with windows unlocked while en- tertaining friends in the front. You are assisting burglars to bur- glarize.
 Carefully examine the defenses of your house or apartment. Close inspection will probably convince you that they are inadequate First of all, consider whether there are any outstanding door keys in the possession of former tenants. They could easily have duplicate door keys and return at any time to commit a crime. It costs very

. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
The Sacredness of the Home
Text: Exodus 2e:l4; Matthew s:s7-2s; Mark 1e:s-ls

No declaration of sanctity can make a marriage holy that is essentially tnholy because of the absence of mutual love, mutual loyalty, and mutual forbearance.
 We may admire those earnest and courageous souls who, even when they realize that they have made mistaken decisions, stand firmly by their VOWS and seek in every re- spect to maintain the integrity of standards, even though they them- selves have failed, and who seek to make the best of unfortunate sit- ,lations. But it must always be rec ognized that such situations cannot be in any very real sense sacred and 1t Is q question we are facing with increasing realism whether for those concerned 1t is better to main- tain Q pretentiouS and unreal sanc- tity of marriage or to find some re- lief in divorce.
 But these considerations should not blind us in any way to the mo- bility and sacredness of Q marriage made in love and devotion and ot the home that is founded upon it The marvel, after all-considerine what human nature is and all the opportunities for differences and dificulties-is not that SO many marriages fail, but that so many marriages succeed. With Christian spirit, common sense, loyalty and forbearance, why should not every marriage succeed and form the basis of holy family and a sacred home?

VIENNA CHOIR TO
 PRESENT CONCERT
Seminary in Northfield to Presents Famous Boys
 Next Saturday

East Northheld, Mass, Nov. 1e- The internationally-famous Vienna Choir Boys will sing in the North field auditorium here Saturday eve- ming, November 26. at 6 o'clock. The concert is presented under the spon- sorship of Northfield seminary. The Vienna Saengerl<naben, known today as the Vienna Choir Boys, was founded by the Emperor Maximilion I in 1498 solely to provide appropri- ate music for the imperial Austrian chapel. Until 1918 the choir four ished only at home and under the patronage of the Hapsburgs. When the World war turned Austria into a republic, the royalist choir survived as g private enterprise before 1t was taken over by the reorganized Vien- nese government. No longer bound to the House of Hapsburg the boy choristers began the series of tours which have made them world- famous.
 The choir boys make these concert tours in groups of twenty. Ameri- can tours have become an annual event for one unit of the "Saengen- knaben" since 1892. They will ap- pear at the East Northfield audi. torium under the direction of Cons ductor Victor Gomboz.

Superior court will be in recess two days next week because Of the holiday season. Common pleas court will only recess for Thanks giving day, and city court win hold its usual sessions despite the hol- iday.
 No sessions of superior court will be held on Thursday or Friday. Judge Earnest c. Simpson offered to hold court on Friday, in view of the fact that the court will be practically closed to civil matters after next week.
 Counsel were of the opinion that custom should not be violated, and therefore agreed that there should be no sl1ort calendar session on Friday. Attorney Nathanial R. Bronson, dean of the bar, was fol- flowed by Attorney John H. Cassidy in this opinion. There were no dis- senteTS.

CATHOLICS DON'T
 ARGUE WITH GOD
Mysteries Which Trans. cend Their Understands
 ing Easy to Accept

Pouring water on a forehead while reciting certain prescribed words, may seem like 8 trivial peg upon which to hang the salvation of a soul. But Christ, who is God, so commanded-and 8 Catholic won't argue with God.
 A hell of eternal punishment for those who defy their Creator is something all of us would like to disbelieve, but Christ warned of just such 8 place for the accursed-and a Catholic takes God at His word.
 Confessing ones sins to priest may seem an unnecessary mortiflca- ton when God may also be reached direct, but His Divine Son com- manded 1t plainly-and a Catholic says ives" to his God.
 Changing the substance of bread and wine into the substance of the Body and Blood of Jesus, our God, may sound like oriental magic, but Christ, Himself, did 1t, gave the power to His priesthood to do 1t and commanded its continuance-so a Catholic partakes of his God.
 That a mere human being can inc fallibly define Gods revelations, is incredible, only If one considers the mere human being and forgets the infinite God who so chose to pre- serve His truths and to guide His children. As God gave this power to Peter, Catholic KNOWS the will of his God.
 There's nothing in Catholic doc- urine that conflicts with human rea- son; and those mysteries which transcend our understanding are easy to accept if one bears in mind that an all-powerful God can reveal His truths and His commands with out asking the pre-acceptance of His methods by the tiny, infinite minds of His creatures.
 No, Q Catholic won't argue
 with God. Twould be useless.
 Twould be presumptuous. 'Twould
 be damnably dangerous.

 SOUL AND BODY" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon. The Golden Text is from Isaiah 26:8: 'Yea, in the way of thy judg- ments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee"
 Bible readings include the follow ing passages from Acts IT.: A, 25, 28 (to:) God that made the world and all things herein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with mems hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life. and breadth, and all things; :. For in him we live, and move, and have our being."
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. include the fol- lowing from page 249.' line 3l: Man is the reflection of Soul. He IS the direct opposite of material sensa- tion, and there is but one Ego. We run int oerror when we divide Soul into souls, multiply Mind in minds and suppose error to be mind, then mind to be in matter and matter to be . law-giver, unintellieence to act like intelligence, and mortality to Do the matrix of immortality"

One-Way Traffic On 30 Streets Planned
Police Superintendent Recommends Numerous { Changes Studied By Commissioners for Weeks

The traffic committee of the board of police commissioners is expected to submit, at the next meeting of the entire board, . re- port on a series of recommendations made by Police Superintendent Will liam J. Roach for numerous chang es in local traffic and parking reg ulationS. The committee has had Supt. Roach's recommendation under study for the past several weeks.
 Supt. Roach's plan calls for the establishment of one-way traffic on about 30 local streets in or near the business section. He also proposes important changes in parking regu- lations, among them elimination of parking on some streets, lengthen- ing of the time limit for parking on other streets, and reduction in time limit for parking on still others.
 The committee has conferred sev- eral times with Supt. Roach and officers of the police department. The superintendent has shown traf- fic and accident charts, traffic vol- tune figures and other arguments in favor of the adoption of his plan.
 The plan was worked out after months of preparation. During that period Sergt. Patrick Foley and Po- lice Statistician James Little made an extensive tour of the city, and made 8 lengthy Investigation of traffic and parking problems in many sections.
 Police believe that the proposed plan would eliminate much of the congestion that now occurs in the business section, particularly dur ing rush hours and during shop ping periods.

forbid marriage between memheEo of different races?
 A. The Osservatore Romano Vatican City newspaper, recently stated the Church's position on this matter as follows:
 "When two Catholics of differ ent races, determined to contract marriage, come to the church free from all canonical impedimepts, the church cannot, merely because a difference in race exists, deny her assistance. This is demanded by the sanctifying mission of the church; this is demanded by the rights that God himself conferred, which the church grants to all her children without discrimina- tion."
 Q. What is the star seen on Jewish synagOgues?
 A. The six-cornered star gem orally seen on the facade of the Jewish synagogue is variously known as the Star of David, Da- vid's Shield and the Magen David. This hexigram formed by the combination of two equi-lateral triangles is universally recognized as a symbol of Judaism.
 Its use was first noted in . Jew ish tombstone at Tarentu-., in southern Italy. which may date as early as the third century of the common era: the earliest mem ton of 1t in Jewish literature was in the twelfth century. The sym bol probably did net originate with Rabbinisfn, the oficial dominant Judaism for more than 2.QOO years, but was probably derived by the Cabal from the TcmplaES.

 The lessons of this quarter have 6 timeliness in relation to the most acute issues and problems of pres- ent-day life, that ought to charac- terize all lessons drawn from the Bible but that is not always SC marked.
 This lesson on the Sacredness of the home comes at time when it Is greatly needed. The Bible in its highest teaching lays profound stress upon the purity and integri- ty of home and family life. One of the Ten Commandments is against adultery, and if there were any doubt of the validity and wis., dom of that Commandment, sure ly one could find it in the evidence in our newspaper columns and else- where of the unhappiness and per- sonal and social havoc that adult cry causes.
 Perhaps, however, we ought to recognize that the sanctity of the home and of marital and family ACA1tAeAAokAAho OuAAA4Ot M O0ASS AAAA- ed and maintained only by negative commandments. There is a posi- tive program of wisdom, righteous ness, and good sense, that must be followed to insure happy and true relationships cannot be sanctified by words or by rites and ceremo- nies, even when these are per- formed by the church and the min- isters of religion.
 The VOWS and ceremonies can be only the outward expression of in- ner love and devotion, and where these are lacking, the vows and ceremonies themselves lack reality and they are not likely to be either lasting or effective.
 We deplore divorce conditions in America: but we do not always ad- dress ourselves properly to the causes and to preventive measures
