NEW HAVEN ROAD MAKES BIG GAINS Semi-official Statement Shows crease in Passenger Receipts, A semi-official statement concerning the New Haven road's conditions says: It the New Haven railroad can avold too great a glut of freight, it should keep expenses and equipment |rentals down to a fairly satisfactory level this winter and be able to care for a larger volume of travel over its line to its advantage. During the first three weeks of the October passen- ger receipts of both the New Haven and the Boston & Maine showed nota- ble advances. Boston & Maine's passenger earn- ings ran 12 to 14 per cent. better than during the corresponding period in 1915, while New Haven's were about 10 per cent. ahead. New Haven’s pas- senger traffic is relatively its most profitable department. A recent com- pilation shows passenger expenses to be much less onerous in proportion to aggregate revenues than the road’s treight shipments. For the year to June 30 last, for in- stance, $37,446,000 came from carry- ing freight, while the expenses (ex- clusive of car hire) that were related solely to freight service amounted to $24,051,000, or 84.23 per cent. of freight revenues. On the other hand, ex- penses related solely to passenzed and allied services reached $18,862,000, or only 47.28 per cent. of the $33,563,700 revenues other than freight New Haven now has cars on its rails. 7,000 freight This is more than a few weeks since, but well below the rising 55,000 of last February, and ev- ery effort is beinz made to avoid con- gestion. The management has decided to follow the recommendation of the American Railway association and file a tariff substantially raising its g cral demurrage charges for dctenti of freight cars. Against the prese chargze of $1 per day after 48 hour: free time, $3 for the next, and $4 fer the next and $5 per day thereafter. During the first three weeks of Oc- tober Noew Haven recorded soi more than 5 per cent. gain in freis gross over 1915, and about 9 per cent. gain in total revenues.

After he was graduated from Nor- wich Free Academy, in 1878, Poultney Bigelow made a_trip_ around the world; and in a New York paper he narrates this incident in his experi- ence: 1t cannot be true that American na- val officers assisted Prussian subma- rines in their dirty work outside of Newport.

Miss Freda Wiliamson of Norwich CATHOLIC LAY APOSTOLATE NEEDED IN NORWICH Nation-Wide Movement For Soci Betterment Requires Increased Ac- tivity in St. Patrick’s Parish, Rev. Peter J. Cuny Maintains. Yesterday was the first Sunday since the close of the two weeks' mis- sion in the parish that Rev. Peter J. Cuny had pweached at the last mass in St. Patrick’s church and it was natural that he should refer to the signal suc- cess of the recent special spiritual ex- ercises which have so revived activity in the church. With characteristic originality and clear-thinking, he chose A phase of the subject some- what outside the beaten lines, preach- ing from the text, “How.good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity” Psalm 103-1. The mission, he said, had had the effect of restoring to spiritual health many whose souls had lappsed into a deplorable condition of weakness and disease resulting from sinful living, the soul requiring occasional dras. tic treatment and searching medica- tion. as does the body whose owner has been living in deflance or neglect of the laws.of hygiene. Many have been brought back to a realization of the urgency of comformity with the laws of God; the question now is, will they =0 remain? Aids o Perseverance. Perseverance, the preacher stated, depends upen the three helps, praver, frequentation of the sacraments, and prompt and regular asisting at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, public wor- ship of God. The importance of prayer as the first means to grace is acknowledged: ‘but it is not sufficient to pray solely for one’s self. How many have learn- ed, as one good effect of the recent miesion, to pray for others Human activities are of three sorts; occupational, social and religious. In the early life of the Church, the social and religious sides of existence were more_closely identified than at pres- ent. The early Christians not only at- tended Mass together, recelved Holy Communion daily together, but by a communal arrangement they ate their meals together. and were intimately ass ated in their general social life. With the increase in the jiuumber of Christians it was nawural that this community life must change. But read- ing down the pages of history one is im- pressed by the fact that this ideal re- lation of the social and religious sides of life was a marked characteristic of the Cutholic Church. Catholic Socialism. Nothing can be higher than _this ideal of what we may call “Catholic Socialism:” the asociation of Catholics with Catholics. This s the great ob- ject cf the Catholic Lay Apostolate, about which so much is being written and said at the present time. Much toward hnn'ing about this happy condition has aone by the Catholic school: but the work is to be advanced nd carried on by those or- sanizations which “are affiliated with the Cutholic Church. To that end there should be syste- matized activity looking toward the promotion social betterment, en- joyment. Man is social in his nature, is demonstrated by the fact that left to himself, in_time he becomes a candidate for an insare asylum. Catholicism True Democracy. Reciprocity between the present Catholic societies would be a speedy means of bringing about this social re- lation which is so salutary. In all such work there is no room for classes or cliques. The Catholic hurch, if “\ythin; means true democracy: an s ation of brothers in Jesus Christ. The word “Cathelic” means universal Lence such work should be for all Promotion of the service undertaken the lay uzpostolate 1s not to be to the burdens of pastors, or these may aid theirs duties on a er They were ordained the administering of the sacra- meyts. Danger of Selfishness. parishes, the preacher said, is apt be a healthy because necessary act which brings mem- bers of the parish into closer social re. lations and 2 community of interest: whercas in parishes long established ndividuals and organizations are like_ Iy to grow 1f-centered, if not nar- row. It is not sufficient to have several hundred names on paper or ina book to con tute Catholic orgal ation: these societies should be alive with ne for their own but for n new to Migh Solve Mixed Marriage Problem. One practical effect of parish social activity would be the doing away with many of the objectionalble mixed mar- ges. There would be created, too, common zround upon which mem- ers of the church could meet, learn to know each other better, talk things over in a friendly way. A number of suggestions were offer- ed Dby which impuise could be given the forward movement undertzken by the Lay Apostolate, always looking to- ward that state where it will be “good and pleasant to dwell together” in a harmony pleasing to God and for the glory and advancement of His Church.

The suffragists drew the sovereign's tention to their cause by presenting her majesty with a magnificent bou- quet of lilies, dahlias and orchids, dec- orated with their colors.
