Cuny Tells Congregation. The first week of the retreat of the ‘Roman_Catholic clergymen of this dio- se of Hartford was especially suc- cessful, Rev. Peter J. Cuny told the congregation at the 10.30 mass in St. Patrick’s church,Sunday, over two hundred, chiefly of “the junior priests being in attendance at Manresa In- stitute, South Norwalk, for the e: ercises. The preacher stated that he felt sure much of this success resulted from the fervent prayers during the . | Week on the part of the people of the parish and diocese for the pastors and curates attending. The coming week, about 140 clergymen who did not at- tend lasi ‘week will assist at the sol- emn exercises. A retreat, Father Cuny explained, is a time of recollection, méditation and prayer, when, the priest puts aside ali other considerations and enters into his own soul. It is akin to the mis- sions held every three or four years for the people—missions being in re- ality oniy prolonged retreats. After such a od of seriousness.and spir- pe returned home after spending a week’s | itual discipline the priest comes back to hie duties strengthcned and forti- fied and with new zeal to continue th No. |arranged a juvenile department. be there to demonstrate and there will be an information bureau.

M., went to Lincoln park Sunday, where the annual clambake of "the lodge was enjoyed. The members left the city at 9.20 by special trolley and upon arriving ut the park entered into the activities of the day, of which the first feature was the baiil game be- tween the married men and the single. The game was won by the benedicts by an overwhelming score. The fat men’'s race was won by Louis Wun- derlick, who rolled along ahead of the field to a grand finish. Z At noon an appetizing chowger wag served, fter which the feature gvent of the day was staged, the baseball game between the Norwich lodge amd the Moowe from Willimantiz. The local boys proved too fast for the Thread City team; and came through with the long end of the score. The game was featured by the exceptional pitching [form of Jack Bowne, who had all kinds of the stuff on the ball. At the re- ceiving ¢nd C. Wright put up a stellar exhibitior. of ball. As a team, Capt. Fowler's boys vrere first class and de- served the laurels which were theirs. Umpire P. Ethier held the 1ndicator to the satisfaction of all.

AUTOISITS §BSERVING THE HEADLIGHT LAW. No Violations Brought te Attention of Police in Th's Section. While it is claimed that the new glaring headiight law is being violated n some parts of the state, as yet no fiolations have been brought to the notice of the police in this section. The v law_has been in effect since the first of July and compels autolsts to abolish the spotlight, whch was usually to be fcund attached to the metal frame of the windshield, and used mostly 10r directing a light on sign- Posts to ascertain directions at night. The glaring headlight is a'so ruled out by this law, and while some persons complain at having to buy the patent ‘enses, it isn't at all necessary to go to that expense, provided of course that the present giass in the lamps is whole. Any dark paint will do the trick mply covering the upper haif worlk of Christ, which, after all. is his in this world. Partic rly during retreat is he benefited by the| sincere and devoted prayers of the people that his retreat may be a good one. Yesterday was the fourteenth Sun- day after Pentecost. The epistle for a week at|the Sunday was from Saint Paul to the Galatians, V. 16-24, beginning. “Brethren, walk in spirit and ve wi not fulfil the lusts of the flesh” and the gospel was Matt. vi. 24-33, the Saviour's warning to his disciples of the impossibility of man’s serving two masters. . Father Cuny preached on Heaven, that state about which theologian: and poets have speculated through ev- ery age, and which is to be gained by keeping God’'s laws alded by the graces of the sacraments, and by be- ing as happy as one can be on this earth.

This is done at the racommendation of of the glass. The result from _this method will cause the beam of light to be Alirected toward the ground and can in no way dazzle the vision of a driver of another car approaching. An- other method is to frost the inside of the glass with the same preparation used in ice cream parlors on the mir- rors to represent fro: The patriotic man can paint an American flag on the inside of the lenges of his car with gratifying results, but the only fea- ture about this is that it is likely to dim the light too much. The spotlight and bright headlights have been a great convenience ot auto- mobile owners. and one which will be greatly missed, but at the same time the promiscuous use of these lights has jeopardized the lives of many people in automobiles when the driver’s vision has been so blinded from the glaring lights that it has been difficult to keep on_the rcad.
