| In Brownsville, TIE :, a man was
discovered swimming in the R c
Grande river pushing a tub con.
tanning four parrots. An Eliza
beth IN. j. man asked authorities
the other day to increase his taxes.
+. And a political candidate in
Albuquerque, N. M, charged peo-
pie for his campaign literature. . j..
To settle who should use the
bathtub first, three Park College
(Mo.) students staged a three-hour
sit-down strike in the tub.
And when a patron of a Mexico
City bar played THE Woodpecker
Song on a juke-box once too often,
an irate bystander pulled out a gun
and shot him.
And here are some photo-phinish-
ers in the non-conformist sweep
stakes:
Michael Forman of Los Angeles,
who got tired of selling books for
the regular prices and began
charging for them by the pound;
Clarence L. Smith of rochester,
N. Y, who, after being a sailor for
IA years, enlisted in the army;
Miss Luverne Wise of Escambia
county, Ala, who played on her
high school football team for two
years;
H. L. Williams of st. Louis, who
bicycled $40 miles to win a five
cent bet;
Marcelino Soule of Buenos Aires,
who rode horse back 16, 900 miles to
give President Roosevelt a horse in
for a handkerchief

among the gardens and roads as
far back as Third street. Each
house, historically perfect in every
detail, has been reproduced by
Miss McKoy. Each window and
door and columned porch is clever
ly miniatured in pasteboard. The
houses are grooved for a blank
effect. Around them are tiny
fences made from bits of match
sticks. And each house is labeled
with the persons name who lived
there during the period.
The seven hills Wilmington was
built on are sharply defined be-
tween and above the steep stream
beds. The old Market house with
its arches carefully reproduced is
historically important because
Stamp Master Houston promised
not to distribute the British stamps
there with a rope hanging around
his neck.
Also shown are the court house
in the middle of the street at
Front and Market streets with the
town hall a large room in the
second story; the big brick church
with its thick walls and large win
dows standing partly in the street,
which was finished near Fourth
street in ITO, seized in 1881, and
later became a riding school for
T%arleton's dragons; the house with
outside offices, called out-build-
ings; the old CORVALLIS house;
and the garden patterned after the
British flag with paths diagonally

CATHOLIC ACTION
 URGED BY CRAIG
Bishop Terms Hartford Farley Great Demon.
 stratiOn of Faith

Hartford, Sept. 2e--Approximate- ly 1900 Catholic priests and laity gathered at Bushnell Memorial Sum day afternoon to hear three speakers urge them to greater activities in be- half of their faith as their part in the Confraternity of Christian Doc- trine of the Diocese Of Hartford
 John Craig of Tulsa, Okla, told the group, which had assembled from oil parts of the state, that never in the history of the world has there been such opportunity for the Church of God" He was intro- duced by Rev. John J. Loughlin, diocesan director of the confrater- nity, as a knight of the Grand Cross of the Holy Sepulcher 6 papal honor.
 MT. Craig stressed the importance Of the parent.edueation in the spreading of Catholic doctrine, Home today, he commented, "is a kind of eating and parking place, and our youngsters growing up to- day will not have the sweet ideas and associations that we had be- cause there are 50 many media of distraction"
 We as Catholics" he asserted, must realize the importance of the seven sacraments and particularly marriage. To us Catholics marriage Is more than Q mutual contract"
 He urged regularity of family prayer and creation of a Catholic environment in the home as aids to Catholic action. He ended by pay ing tribute to the helpers" and the visitors" whose work in Catholic action and the confraternity he called of the utmost importance.
 "The day for being tiInid in talk ing about Catholic faith in this country is past" Rev. Cornelius B. Collins, national director of the con- fraternity, informed the audience. He described methods of spreading Catholic doctrine, asked information of discussion groups and spoke of educating parents to educate their children in Catholic doctrines.
 There is a great need of bind ing spiritual force in the country today" he charged. "You all have a two-fold responsibility, one to God and one to your country as a citi- zen. You must be good Catholics and good Americans
 He described the function of the confraternity as coordinating relig- ious instruction.
 Tn a short closing speech, Rev. pr. Loughlin declared, There isn't a man, woman or child in this audi torium who hasn't 8 talent to give to God"
 The audience was welcomed to the conference by Most Rev. Maurice F. McAuliffe, bishop of Hartford, who termed the confraternity great demonstration of Catholic faith"
 Two vocal selections were given by Miss Mary Butler, accompanied by Vincent J. Scully. and the entire audience sang the National Anthem at the start of the program.

City Of Waterbury Named Defendant In
 $25, ,OOO Proceeding
Plaintiff Alleges Extensive Injuries as Result of Fall on Bank Street; Similar Amount Asked By
 Auto Victim

1 an action brought by Mary Voltage administratrix of the estate of An thony Voltage, late of Union City against Milton H. Meyers of Wa terbury, owner of property in which the plaintiff was @ tenant.
 On April IT of this year, it is charged, the late Anthony Voltage, plunged to his death from a ver- andah on the fourth floor of a tenement, located at the corner of North Main and City Hill streets in Union City. Responsibility for the occurrence is placed on poor lighting in the hallway leading to the Verandah, and the circumstance of the floor of the verandah being below that of the hallway. This condition, 1t Is charged, caused the deceased to pitch forward against the verandah railing, which was allegedly too low to prevent his forward progress. Instead, 1t is maintained, the balustrade was at such a height as to precipitate Vol age forward and over the edge ot the verandah.
 Action for foreclosure, and a mos ton for the appointment of a re- ceiver to collect rents, Is institute ed by the Southington Savings Bank against Daniel J. McGrath of Waterbury, and Armour and Go, The defendant is charged with not having paid two promissory notes amounting to $25,000 and $4,000, signed on October 1, 1910, and Mo- vember 1, 1929, respectively. Prop erty involved is located at the cor- ner of Bank and South Leonard streets. Armour and Go. Is named a defendant by virtue of mort- gage 1t holds against the property.
 HOLC Action
 The Home Owners Loan Cors poration also seeks foreclosure on property at 256 Congress avenue, In an action instituted against Rob- ert A. Martino of Silver Spring, Maryland; Louis, Margaret and Marion Martino, all of Waterbury, who hold an attachment against the property; and the Waterbury Trust Co.,, which likewise has at- tached the Congress avenue prop erty. A promissory note, dated Jan- uary l6, 1884, and amounting to $4.5ll.53, which Is allegedly unpaid, Is the basis of contention.
 Judgment establishing liability Is sought in an action filed by the Shelby Mutual Plate Glass and Casualty Company, against Carl Flor1o, doing business as Carps Commercial Garage of New Haven; Premium Commercial Corporation Of New Britain: Raymond Worth ington and Connecticut Motor Lines of New Haven; and Joseph E. Sand ley of Andalusia, Alabama. The plaintiff concern denies that an inc surance policy 1t issued on a trac- tor covers substantial damage sus- tained by the tractor in an acci- dent in Berlin, Connecticut. It also disputes the claim that the policy covers injuries suffered by Sand ley, a hitch-hlker riding in the vehicle at the time of the colli- sion.
