Interest In State Social ServiceTM
(By Bar, T. F. Ryan S. J.) Like every other form of mercy, a work of Social Welfare is twice blessed, for it blesses those "that give as well as those that receive- Bay the giving must be a concious act if it is to benefit the giver, and in these days of State Social Ser- vices that side of the blessing may Not only many members of the be lost.

Construction of Landing Place opposite Arsenal Street $7.000.00.
In order to meet the need for additional landing facliftles on the East Fruya (Gloucester Road) In the neighbourhood of the China Fleet Club and the Seamen's Ir stitute, it is proposed to erect a landing place for small craft op- [«. posite Arsenal Street.

Madrid, Oct. 30.
The news that fighting may flare. out again in Asturias which was
first heard with dismay recently by the public from Premier Lerroux's own lips has now been confirmed by a journalist who has just returned from Oviedo and informed the Premier that the situation in Asturias is exactly the same as in the days just preceding the out break of the insurrection.
