stopped dead in the midst of brisk
upturn today, then slipped to frac-
tionally lower levels.
Small losses at the end of the day
were in sharp contrast to forenoon
activities. The day opened on an
optimistic note, with overnight
orders on traders books. Morning
purchases ran ahead of yesterday,
and the days volume approached
100000 shares.
Profit taking was to be seen
throughout the morning as traders
turned their gains into cash, and
this activity by early afternoon, had
brought the advance to a virtual
standstill.
There were frequent periods of in
activity, while specializing interests
watched to see what the trend might
be, then selling developed at an in
creased tempo.
Aiding the morning optimism were
two main factors, an upward trend

CATHOLIC CHURCH
 MOVES ON WHEELS
Former Waterburian CeIe- brates First Mass in
 Martinsville, Va.

With 3s,000 square miles Of Vir- ginia, holding 8 population in ex- cess of 2,500,000, Of which but 10000 is Catholic, this area includes 22,000 sq. miles of territory that does not have any resident priests. Tn iso- lated parts Of Virginia Catholic priests are still unknown.
 Recently Rev. Father Edward l., Stephens, director of the Diocesan Missionary Fathers of Richmond, Virginia, who was formerly a Wa terbury, Conn, lawyer and member or the U. s. Supreme Court bar, celebrated the first Catholic high mass ever sung in Martinsville, Va, using the Episcopal church for the occasion. The premises were do- mated through the courtesy of the Martinsville Episcopalians. Martins vile is a town of 5000 population.
 Realizing the need for carrying the consolation of the Faith to the outlying districts, Father Stephens, through large and small voluntary contributions has been able to make Saint Mary Of the Highway Chapel Q reality. The first motor chapel Is nov being exhibited by Father Stephens in New York city at 234 West 6eth street, where the public can inspect this unique church on wheels. The exhibition will continue in New York City until February 3rd.
 This first chapel will be used in the Diocese of Richmond, Va, com- prising most Of the state of Virginia and part Of West Virginia, and will enable the Missionary Fathers to introduce the Catholic Church to those sections and people who at present are not acquainted with the church, her dogma, her disciplines and her priesthood.
 On leaving New York city the chapel will traverse the Blue Ridge and Alleghany mountains. It will travel through the famed valley of Virginia. It will carry the story of Christ into the vast tobacco section and the torch of faith into the re- mote counties of the Tidewater sec- ton.
 It will furnish a home for the missionaries, a pulpit for their preaching, an altar and a sanctuary for the Holy Sacrifice of the mass, and @ fountain of divine truth for those who come in search of the faith of Christ. Like a hound of heaven. 1t will pursue the vagrant soul. the rebellious spirit, the dark ened intellect.

Support of Gov. Baldwin's court reform plan Is voiced in Q letter to the governor by Albert Levitt, of Bedding, prominent Independent Republican and 0 former federal commissioner to the Virgin islands. Mir. Levitt says there has been "a great need" to raise the caliber of the lower courts of the state and coihmends the plan for eliminating city and town courts and enlarging the jurisdiction of common pleas courts,
 MT. Levitt's letter follows:
 February i7, i939. Governor Raymond E. Baldwin, The Capitol,
 Hartford, Conn.
 Dear Governor Baldwin:
 Permit me to commend most heartily your endorsement of the bill, which proposes to enlarge the Common Pleas Court of Connec- ticut.
 For many years, there has been q great need to raise the caliber of the administration of justice in our town and city courts. Many efforts have been made heretofore to eliminate so-called practical politics" and political patronage from those courts. Throughout the state there is q feeling, which has been growing most intensive in recent months, that appointments to the judiciary should not be dictated by principles of political patronage, nor should they be a method of paying political debts.
 "The proposed bill will result in the creating of courts, who will be entirely competent to take care of all of the law business, which now comes before the town, city, and traffic courts. The judges, ap- pointed to the newly created Com
