Democrats Adopt Gag
 Rule Methods Walker
Sudden Adjournment of Meeting Prevents Alderman
 From Asking Pertinent Questions

A charge of 'gag rule" was made against Democratic aldermanic lead- CTS today by Alderman Burton H. Walker, Republican minority leader, as result of the sudden adjourn ment of the meeting of the board of aldermen last night. The ad- journment was moved by Alderman Patrick Shea and quickly voted by the Democratic majority just as MT. Walker was seeking the floor to bring up several controversial issues.
 MT. Walker had risen and was seek ing recognition from the chair to bring up several questions. when Al- dermnn Shea rose. Aldermanlc President John 6. Monagari gave the floor to MT. Shea rather than MT. walker and the former immedi- Rtely offered q motion for ad- journmert. Such . motion Is not debatabie and it was quickly voted by the Democrats over Republican objections.
 The Republican leader had planned 70 ask why Mayor Vincent A. @cally has failed e make public the underwTiters' survey of the fire department and also for infoHnas ton oii some expenditures from the contingency fund for var emeF-

give the minority adequate oppor- tunity to be heard. He said he would bring up his questions at the start of the next board meeting.
 Democratic aldermen voted down, 8 to T, a motion by Alderman George L. Kingston (R) to take from the table motion he made at the last meeting that the board of finance study possible transfers of funds from other items to give city employees a pay increase as of Sept. 1.
 MT. Kingston said that the mayor was wrong in planning to give Q pay increase next year and ct the same time reduce taxes. Tn times of prosperity, he said people have more money to pay taxes and reserve fund can be built up to be available for use in lean years.
 It was voted to have polling places open tlli 9 ?. n. election day if the procedure is found legal.

has officially opened the judicial year of the Sacred Roman Rota. During the reign of Louis TX, Saint Louis of France, La Sainte Chap belle, was designated as the proper setting for the service. This magni- ficent edifice, erected in 1246, was used but once during the year and then for the Red Mass. The cus- tom in England began in the middle ages and, even during the present war, English judges and lawyers att tend the Red Mass annually in Westminster Cathedral.
 In the United States, the tradition was inaugurated in 1928 in New York City, where the Catholic Guild of Lawyers meets annually with judges and members of law facul- ties for the Votive Mass in old St. Andrews Church in the shadow of the towering State and Federal Courts. At present the Red Mass is celebrated annually in California, Massachusetts, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia, attended by justices of the highest courts in the land and by men of all religious faiths.

Jurists' Red Mass
 At Boston, Oct. 3rd
Over l,5OO Lawyers of All Faiths Expected to Attend
 Second Annual Event at Boston College

Boston, Mass, Sept. 14-The Red Mass for jurists offered to invoke Gods blessing on the judicial year, will be conducted by the Boston College Law School under the aus piceS of William Cardinal O'Connell at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Saturday morning, October 3 at 10 o'clock.
 The mass was celebrated for the first time in New England last year with the greatest assembly of legal Commonwealth in attendance. Rep- resentatives of all faiths participa- ted in the age-old ceremony.
 A colorful procession of judges, law enforcement officers, the fac- ulties of law schools and representa- tiveS of the bar, was led into the church by Governor Leverett Sal- tonstall. Of the 260 in the procession there were 160 judges of state and federal courts.
 Rev. William J. Kenealy, S. J., Dean of the Boston College Law School, announces that members of the bar, of all religious faiths, are cordially invited to attend. The as- sembly this year is expected to ex- ceed that of last when more than 159 lawyers formed the congregation at the Jesuit church on Harrison Ave.
 The Red Mass, often called the Solemn Votive Mass of the Holy Spirit, is celebrated for the purpose of invoking Gods blessing and guidance in the administration of justice. Its origin is obscured by its antiquity. The traditional name, Red Mass, is probably derived from the color of vestments worn by the of ficers of the Mass. The robes of the attending justices were, in ancient days, bright scarlet. Moreover the petition of the Mass beseeches the aid of the Holy Spirit symbolized by the flaming fire of Divine Love and Wisdom. A
 The tradition of the Red Mass goes back many centuries in Rome, Paris and London. From time im- memorial this beautiful ceremony

OUR BOYS

"We are the martyrs of our fate" Whatever that perchance may be, So long we have been so great We'll still be great and free. For freedom is our heritage
 From long, long time ago, And now we must defend it
 And banish every foe. There always is struggle
 For right to keep aright, And stay there all the time
 From early dawn until night Just now a war Is raging
 Tn strange far distant lands To rob us of our birthright By those who tread on foreign sands Our boys are fighting far from home, Those ruthless wreckless foes We trust the time will surely come When they'll come home again. But we must walt with patience For all that's right to be, And just be reconciled
 Wen hope again those boys to see. Some will have fallen in the battle For right. against the wrong And others will return back home again, go the same old home they loved co long. And now may dod bless Ali our boys And keep them always trne With wishes Of the very best Prom mo and ail of you.

 in Bonds in Springfield

Jupiter PluviuS, the old wet blanket, is working for the Axis!
 But Old Jupe has been licked. is being licked, just as the United Ma tions will take the measure of the Axis.
 In this month of September. the Billion Dollar Bond drive is being spearheaded by the motion picture industry. More than half hundred of Hollywood's brightest stars are turing the country, appearing at open-air rallies and selling bonds.
 The axis, concerned at the mount ing sales indicative of Americas uniform support of the war effort, got to work and quislingled. MT. Pluvius. MT. Pluvius, the old traitor, eSald he'd see what he could do There's story that he's related to Adolf himself. At least, Adolf is all wet.
 But in Springfield, Mass, Char les Laughton, Ann Rutherford, and Virginia Gilmore, with umbrellas over their heads, laughed at Jupe as Americans came through with $25,000 in bonds.
 On the Court House steps of Mount Vernon, New York, Irene Dunne and 30,000 of the faithful gave MT. Pluvius the Mount Vernon equivalent of the Bronx cheer to the tune of $300,OOO.
 In Seattle, Washington, more than 10000 people jam-packed Victory Square under threatening skies as Joan Leslie, Walter Pidgeon and Adolphe Menjou peddled $200,- 900 worth of those Treasury De- partment things that mean trouble for the Axis.
 An inseparable nose and thumb to you, MT. Pluvius!

 HAT PASSING ACT
 IS GOOD TRICK
 Smiths hat passing for campaign funds has been rank and un- ashamed. If you can't give more than nickel, don't bother" he has told his listeners, If you are that hard up, just come up after the meeting and I'll give you the nickel"
 His offer has no takers, but his campaign take has been good.
 Of rubber, he says "the short tage is 8 myth. So remember that I am the one who advocated tires for everybody. Don't let President Roosevelt or Prentiss Brown (Dem- ocratic senator from Michiga1l) take the credit"
 Whatever the outcome of Tues days primary, Michigan has had good show. And the show has been all Smith, for his Republican op- poentS have not waged vigorous campaigns. Neither Judge Homer Ferguson, the one-man jury credited with cleaning up Wayne County, or Elton R. Eaton, Plymouth publisher, have even attempted to take the stage from the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, once obscure pastor whose first taste of fame came when he preached the funeral sermon for his political father-Huey Long.

 Detroit Mich. Sept. 15.-Center of political whoop-de-do the likes Of which Michigan has seldom seen before is Gerald L. K. Smith, whose race for nomination for U. s. sem ator has been a one-man, three ring circus of amazing proportions.
 The campaign has been Gerald Smith at his gest, and that is say- ing something, for Smith learned politics at the feet of that past master at the art, the late Huey P. Long.
 Principal blanks in Smiths varie- gated platform are promise of sym thetic rubber tires for all; a fair hearing in Congress for the Town send Plan; $100 a month for soldiers and 100 per cent loyalty for the war effort.
 Out from hins sumptuous office, occupying an entire floor of De- troit bank building, Smith has gone to carry his message into the high ways and byways.
 He has been indefatigable. On village street corners, where his persuasive voice has drummed up crowds; in larger, planned meetings, on the dusty midway of a country fair, Gerald Smith has spoken-and passed the hat for funds to finance his campaign.
 TIRES FOR EVERYONE
 IS POTENT POINT
 Tires for all has been his most potent campaign point-tireS to be made from the products of Michi- gan farms. Michigan, compara- lively small oil-producing state, is rich in farm products-and syn thetic rubber from grains sounds good to Michigan farmers.
 Long one of the louder drum beaters for the Townsend Old Age Pension Plan, Smith has been cagey in dealing with the subject on the stump. No longer going all-out for the plan, he now promises only that it will receive careful consideration in Congress. The Townsend plan is anathma to many a voter.
 Taught the art of political ora tory in the Louisiana canebrakes and Cajun country, Smith has al- tered his technique somewhat for northern consumption, but main tainS all the oratorical tricks he has learned so we'll.
