State Super? intendent of the Anti-Saloon League, announced yesterday that the leacue Would make its formal decision to-day ! regarding the question of the 113e of j sacramental vrinc in churches.

Director Day repeated his cxplana : that I?'' he intended to do was to submit to ? board composed of clergymen all application* t'or the withdrawal of .wine for sacramental purposes. In his opinion, he said, soma euch check on the withdrawal of liquor for such purposes was neces? sary, as permits had been issued to ongregations which were unrecognized by any church and apparently had been organized solely for the purpose. ? getting liquor. Catholic Attitude Stated editorial written by Mr. Ken? nedy left no doubt, that the Catholic Church, at least, would tight any at ?>mpt that might be made to abolish e use of wine in the church. The editorial follows: "The proposed plan to abolish sacra tltal vino is tantamount to a decla? ration that the Constitution of the United Stales will be sospetlded, while l.ho prohibition '"orees, possibly be anse they ar^ unable to cheek real r.fractions of the law. will i-onduct a merry religious warfare. They will ?iign the prejudices of professors of aiths who do no! employ sacramental -.vine in their rites or observances igainst the faithful who do. "Of course every Knight of Colum ius and every Rane citizen will oppose '.his foolish attempt to invade the most sacred beliefs of Catholics and other citizens. The Catholic Church, through centuries, long before Mr. Vol tead's genial countenance appeared in a troubled world to make it tem? perately or intemperately dry, decreed that fermented vine be part of the pec ea used in the sacrifice of the mass. Catholics will never acknowledge that u prohibition officer's whimsies arc superior to the Christian conscience." Denies Religious Prejudice Mr. Day. in explaining ht.s views on ?-iie quest ?on of the use of fermented win*?? by churches, would have it nown that he bii* no religious preju? dices, [n the administration of his office as prohibition enforcement direc lor he desires oniy to satisfy all citi? zens as far as possible,, he says, and this he, assorts in his reason for ask? ing for the co-operation of church heads in the matter of properly re? leasing wines needed for sacramenta! '?r rabbinical purposes, within the best light of the leaders of the church or? ganizations tl: em selves. Mr. Anderson said the Anti-Saloon League would go on record to-dav at te regular meeting as to its stancf re? garding tin sacramental wine question. He complimented Director Day as an able and upright official. "I consider him an honest man of good intentions," said Andei Mr. Yellowley," he continued, "did Two Boys Killed by Autoist Fleeing Foli?e After Accident > BASSAIC, N. J., Per. 28.- -Two deaths resulted from the attempt, of the police ! licro to-night to capture an autoist i whom they believed to be responsible for knocking down and slightly injur? ing a sixty-year-old man. A report was received at the Passaic police Htation early in the evening that ; an aged man was lying in Van Houten Avenue and appeared in great pain, j Patrolman Michael Carey, who was ' sent to investigate, found the man, who ! gave his name as Stephen Zentner. He j was sixty years old and said that he j liad been struck by an automobile, the driver of which ?lid net stop. Carey called an ambulance from General Me? morial Hospital. As the patrolman was about to quit the scene he saw an automobile about two hundred yards away. The driver ? was attempting to turn il about, and i his difficulties attracted Carey'a atten? tion. The autoist, saw Carey rushing up to ! him and, without, pausing to complete I ihr turn, switched the machine around and put oil speed. The course e>( the cur was far from steady and it swerved from one side of the road to the other. Walking along the footpath tit the fide of the road were two boys, Joseph Tetizog, fifteen years old. of !U Magor Street, and William Frost, ten years old, o.l ?158 Van limiten Avenue, both of Clin? ton, X. J. Within ten feet of the lads, who were walking arm in arm. the machine jumped to their sitie of the road, and before Carey could cry out in warning, had struck (hem. The two boys were thrown several feet in the air. The machine continued but a short distance before it crashed into 11 telegraph pole. When the patrolman reached the boys he found them unconscious. Tan 5.og died before he reached General Hospital and his companion expired shortly after being admitted. The driver of the car gave his name us Anthony Van Culiek, o\' Gregory Avenue, Passaic. He denied having struck Zentner and the police have been unable to trace the injury sus? tained bv the sexagenarian tu Van tiulick's <;n-, h- no one was found whe witnessed the minor accident. wonderful work in New York and i stopped the fraud then existing- in granting permits to fake wholesale druggists and to rid the state of en-j forcement agents foisted upon the i department by politicians. One Sena? tor was unusually active in getting en? forcement jobs for men wholly unfitted for such positions." He was asked if he believed that prohibition had increased the use of narcotic drugs, and he said that it bad not. Wet countries, he pointed out., had had a greater increase in th? drug traffic than had the United States. He said that some one within the prohi? bition organization had been "tipping off" places about to be, raided. Director Day, when informed that Superintendent Anderson had indorsed him, thanked him for the compliment and he could only say that the State Prohibition Department, was getting under way and was running very smoothly. Loca! Legislation Sought Regarding its proposed submitting of ordinances to be passed by town boards to support the national and state liquor laws the Anti-Saloon League issued a statement which reads: "The passage of such legislation dees not change the status of any city, county or subdivision of the state until it has acted for itself, but merely gp-cs it the opportunity to assume additional and direct local responsibility in con? nection with the enforcement of state and national prohibition. "This legislation was drafted by Edgar Truman Bracliett. The league will make every effort to obtain the passage of the enabling legislation at the co,mn" ?cssion. However, if the Legislature should refuse, and thereby hand this proposition back as an acute rua.icr issue,in the coining fill cam? paign, the league will continue to prcri it until such legislation is enacted, re? gardless of how long it takes or how much it may disturb the political sit? u?t i o it. "Further, it will do the wets no good to block these bills in order to prevent immediate agitation in the several con munities, for the league will pro post- to the people of every cit>y, village and town that they proceed at one? t<: arouse sentiment to insist upon tht passage o* an official resolution by th< proper local board urging the Legis? lature to pass such enabling legisla tion "While request that power to pas; ordinances be given county boards i; not now contemplated, they can pas: resolutions. Any delay will simplj give the league a perpetual impregna ble issue, both local and stale-wide." ? VI ornan.

Until the coming of snow they had roamed ail through the Green Forest, up in the Old Pas? ture and sometimes out on the Green Meadows. Hut now that the unow was d<_-p enough to make it hard work to get about outside of well trodden paths they were making ' - elves as comfortable a3 novssible ia this favorite place. To begin with, Lightfoot led the way in the first snow from one gond eating place to another, Mrs. Light fott ; f behind him and behind her the half-grown twins. They took a few bites here and a few bites there, never stopping long enough to eat much at any one place. "I don't see why we can't stay and get a good meal in onu piace," com? plained one of the twins. "I don't see any sense at all in moving along all the time?" "Of course you don't," replied Mother Deer. "That is because you have very little sense as yet. The older you grow the more sense you ' will gam, I hope, and by the time you are old enough to start out in the Great World for yourself you will understand many things that ' pu?zle you now. If we should stop ; in one place and eat a!! we want right there, what would happen?" J "Why wf?we?we would get our stomachs full without having to walk j our leg? off," replied tho complaining young Deer. "Ye?, and we would eat all the food in that ono place. There would he none left for another time," retorted Mrs. Lightfoot. "What of it"" demanded the com? plaining young Peer. "I don't see ;hat that would make any difference. Wc would go to anothcrplacc where I here was plentj "We could ci') that for a while, per haps," replied Mrs. lightfoot, "but ' not after the snow became deep. You do not yet know what deep snow means. There is only a little now xnd it is '-asy for us to get about. Your father leads and f follow in i.,. . p and this makes ?1 easier for y0 day as we come along i "/ don't see why we can't slay c d \ get a good -nica!, in one place,'' complained one of the twins j here we will tramp the snow dov n. More snow will fall and we will tramp that down. It may be that by and by the snow outside our paths is quite to the tops of our back.--. We couldn't get through it if we tried. When that times comes you will understand why it is that now we take only a bite here and a bite there. It is so that wo may have enough feeding places connected by well trodden paths. Your father knows what he is doing in keeping us moving so much. "And right now 1 want to give you a warni.ig, both of you. The terrible hunting season is over and there are but three enemies who can harm you, and even they cannot if you keep close to your father and myself in these path; we are making. Those enemies are Yowler the Hob Cat, Old Man Coyote and a possible stray Dog Any one of these could pull down and kill a half-grown deer such as you, if caught alone. So I warn :?'? to keep close to your father and myself. And if one of those enem:< should appear, on no account leave the path* we have trodden. In these paths you can make-lue of your legs, but should you get into the deep snow you would be helpless, Nov.-, re? member." "Yes'm, we will," replied the tv in fawns. (Copyright, 1351, bj T. W.
