TENDENCIES OF AGE AFFEGTINGIDEALS Mrs. Bacon Declares Women': Must Exert Wholesome Influence An outline of the duties of Cath- olic women regarding their influence upon the younger generation was presented last night by Mrs. Agnes M. Bacon of Providence, treasurer of the National Catholic Welfare coun- ¢il, at the monthly meeting of the! New Britain Council of Catholic Women at the Knights of Columbus ' meeting rooms on South Main street. Mrs. Bacon stated that she could not describe the duties any better than they were outlined by the Rt. Rev. John T. McNicholas, archhishop of Cincinnati, who said during the | national conference held last month at Cleveland that “*One of the great- est works awaiting Catholic women is to make their influence felt upon youth.” Youth Is Different “He pointed to the ‘incredible change’ which has taken plac among youth in modern time characterized by indifference to r ligion and a distorted view of libe ty,” the speaker continued, “Liberty in its true sense, he insisted, does not mean merely a restriction which en- ables one 1o escape the penalty of the law, but a perfecting, not a de-| moralizing power—a gift ot God, a gift which neither the church nor the stato has the right to take away but rather has the obligation 1o safe- guard. Much of the law-making to- day shows a tendency not to protect this God-glven liberty of individuals, he said, but rather to exercise com- pulsion, He declared that it is the duty of mothcr to teach their chil- dren a true corcept of liberty, that it ,is not licen fodern Tendencies Lower Ideals We must face the fact,” the speaker continued in quoting the prelate, “that the daily press, the ephemeral literature, the scnsational and too frequently sugge moving pleture, the general tone of the con- | versation of youth, the abuses brought about by the automobile, the immodest manner of dress now in vogue among women, the weak-| ening of home ties and the lessening | of home influence, the rejection of the wisdom and experience of the older generation, not perhaps by dis- respect but by regarding it as ang outworn philosophy of life not ap- plicable to our modern times, all these necessarily make their impress | on the mind and character of the youth and tend to lower the ideals inculcated during their school yea Here the speaker impressed upon the minds of her listeners that it was | the duty of every woman to exert her influence over Youth, but that it must be wisely done. Mere fault- finding does no good whatever, but simply alienates those who are to be influenced, she sald. Thereforc it is the duty of every mother to correct thesa faults and influence her children according to the moral teachings of the church, she added. [ “Liberty” and “Tolerance" i Touching upon another subject the speaker made reference to the | difference between religious “toler. ance” and religious “liberty,” stating that the two have been greatly mis- interpreted and that often the Cath- | ollcs have been termed as a “for- eign element” enjoying religious tol- erance.”” Mrs, Bacon stated in this, reference that the great principles | upon which this country was found- ed was that of Feligious liberty, and | quoted in this respect words of Rev. | John J. Burke who said: ‘We should lic teachings, the speaker said, Miss Bresette stated that these regional conferences take place from time to time in all sections of the country and prove to be of great value to the laborer and the employer as it brings them in closer contact trial situation in the light of Catho- ’ | and | bleme of mutual interest are | widely discussed without prejudice jor intention to hurt either the em- ' ployer or the employe. The sole pur- | | pose la to study conditions with an | endeavor to make them as good as poasible. | The speaker also stated that no‘ actions or resolutions are taken up | and no direction of policies are pre- | sented—the conferences are purely ' an educational movement and every- one is invited to attend and take active part in the discussions. The first day will be given up to the dis- cussion of wages from all angles, while the second day will be taken up with the question of unemploy- ment and human relationship in in- | dustry, During the sessions some of | the leading lights in the industrial | fleld will address the gathering, and no lines are drawn—everyone jrre- spective of their religious belief is invited. Surgical Dressing Class Mrs. Ellis J. Bardsley, presigent of the New Britain council, presided | over the meeting an dintroduced the speakers. Announcement was made also that the surgical dressing class | will be held Friday afternoon be- tween 2 and 4 at the hospital, and that the hospital sewing class will be held December 3 at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at dhe Daughters of Isabella rooms. The-council will hold a toy shower on December 19, the proceeds to be distributed at Christ- mas time among the children of the Polish Orphanage. HURLEY T0 PROBE RIDE OF GIRL FROM MAINE Hears That State Police Were Hoax- ed Into Giving Escort to Child. Bridgeport, Nov. 22, —P—Super- | intendent of State Police Robert E. ' Hurley told the Post today that he would conduct an investigation into the request for police escort for | Catherine Adams of Maine who was | rushed from that state to Bridge- | port yesterday in a private ambu- lance under escort of state police in what was alleged to be a “race with death.” The only trouble with the girl, ac- | cording to Dr. George Hawley who treated her at the Bridgeport hospi- tal is that a cast for a deformed hip had to be replaced, a minor matter which could be done anywhere and in no particular hurry. “It is absurd to have made such & show,” Dr. Hawley told the Post. “A train would have brought her here in plenty of time.” Dr. Hawley made it clear that he had nothing to do with it. Superintendent Hurley promised that he would get to the bottom of | the thing. 'Ot course when the police is call- ed, we give aid,” he declared, "but nobody can make a fool out of the department. The request was made | for an escort fn what we understood to be a dire emergency. “If that has been violated, some- thing must be done. Policemen should not be called from duty for | hoax-play.” | Little Catherine was well at the hospital this morning and will start for home as soon as the plaster is dry, !Held in Litchfield for never lose sight of the fact that one of the great principles upon which our country, which we have done so much to build up and preserve, is founded, is that of religious liberty. To deny that principle is not only to oppose the Catholic body, it is to be talse to our country itself. They who are declaring that the faith of the Catholics and the institutions of the Catholic church are not in har- mony with the institutions of our country are false to our country . . Our fidelity to America makes it in- cumbent to us, demands that we should valiantly defend the prinei- ples of America. We are not here by favor. Our government, our country, is our own as truly as it is that of all the worthy citizens of the United States. Liberty, not téi- erance is the word America. The constitution is safe in no man's hands. who is not determined to up- hold its fundamental principles, and to condemn, for the sake of America, with all the power at his command and at all sacrifice, every enemy thereof.” Enumerates Catholic Leaders Stating that some of the leading men of letters, scientists, patriots and men of learning were Catholics, the speaker mentioned among others that the founder of the Red Cross was a Catholic, St. Camillus of Lellis; that the first American sol dier to die in the World war was Thomas Enright, a Catholic; that the first school in America was opened by Catholics in St. Augustive in 1600; that a Catholic, Charles Car- Stealing Car in Denver Litchfield, Nov. 22 (UP)—Robert Campbell, 29, of Denver, Col., was hela 1 $1,000 bonds here today charged with stealing an automobile in Denver November 1. Campbell was given a continuance until De- cember 15 in town court to perm local authorities to communic with Denver police. The man was ' arrested when he tried to sell the car to a junk dealer, R e BUTLER VS, N. Y. U.

Tndustrial Confe The other speaker eveni was Miss Linna E.

A charter revision to effect this change will be by Chairman Walter J. Kenney. Under the present plan, cach board received an appropria- tion for automotive equipment and makes its own purchases. Chairman :nney has pointed out that such a plan eliminates savings that come with collective purchasing. But one exception to this rule is advocated by the garage commis- sioners, this being the fire depart- ment. A staff of mechanics and a workshop is maintained by the board of fire commissioners and the equip- ment to be purchased and rvepairs made are somewhat different than the usual run. PRAISES LENTINI'S MARCHES | English Bandman Impressed by Composition of New Britain Com- poser, He Says in Letter. J. C. Lentini, local band music composer, today veceived a letter from England in which his compo- sitions “Pride of 8t. Louls" and “Gen. Nobile,” both marenes, are praiged. “ The letter is from F. White, a musician, of 7 Oakfleld Crescent, Gospel Oak, London, N. Among other remarks, Mr. White wrote: “I shall certainly recommend the ‘Pride of 8t. Louls’ and ‘Gen. Nobile' marches to my triends. They are worth a place in every good band library and should be there. I wish vyou every success and hoping to hear of some more like them." SUCCESS DOUBTFUL Paris, Nov. 22 (UP)—Comment- in on President-Elect Herbert Hoov- mission to South America aa one to end Latin American distrust of the United States, Le Quotidien today said the success of the mis- sion would be doubtful if it is true, as has been said, that Washington wishes to impose a financial pro- tectorate and military instructors on Nicaragua.

When Hague returned to hia home he ordered Garrison's release. Garrison had |been sent to Jersey City to arrest | Hague. Refuses to Teatify The charge against Hague, who is lsader of New Jersey's demecracy and eastern vice chairman of the democratic party, were the out. growth of his refusal to teatify be. |fore the case legialative committee, which has been investigating al- leged irregularities in Hudson coun. ty politics. The subpoena Hague ignored waa issued after announce. ment that the committee would in. vestigate the source of his wealth. ‘Watson who could not be reach- ed at his home after Brogan had spoke with him, had previously de. clined to answer questiona concern. ing the disposition of the mayor's person when and it he is taken into custody, With Garrison when he entered Mayor Hague's apartment was Ed. ward S8chumann, a deputy of Bupere intendent of Elections John Fergu. son, Charges of disorderly conduct were lodged against both by police who said the two broke into & rear !entrance of the bullding of the Hague residence.

A jury found Leopold guilty on two counts of second degree murdep and five of arson after & misunder. standing which almost resulted {n imposition of the death penalty, _ ‘When the jury reported to Judge Carl Foster late yesgrday, State’s Attorney L.
