I For several years the 32th of October I has been appropriately observed, but it t remained for the last legislature to I decree that the day be not aside as a I legal holiday. This was brought about i because of the presence in both houses 1 of several loyal knights, but the meas- I : : lire was known as the Rarela bill, be- - i cause it was fathered by Senator Casi- j jncro Barela of Trinidad, the patriarch ? of the senate, and a leading Knight of " Columbus in his part of the stale.

For pome time these generous young women have .cherished the fond "hope of one day being able to offer the protection of a real home to the girls who. because be-cause of failing health or the necessity ' of earning a livelihood, come to Colo rado yearly in great numbers. In the large cities of the east where the Queen's Daughters has a firmer foundation foun-dation such homes exist, and have been a boon to many a weary, heart-sick girl trying to make her way in the world far from home and her natural protectors. Such a girl feels the need not so much of financial help as of sympathy and security where ns yet everything: around her is so new and Ft range. The Denver council of I Queen's Daughters, which is onlv four yeare of age, has already become a I factor in the charitable vork of the I city and has lent valuable aid to the I older and well-established philanthrop- I 3c organizations, besides being of ma- S . terial aid to all the pastors in the de- f mauds constantly made upon them.

To a unit the priests of Denver, all of them acknowledged theologians, approve ap-prove the action of Rome in rectifying rectify-ing and amending the divorca law. Because of the promulgation of the doctrines of the Council of Trent, the diocese of Denver embraces two separate sepa-rate and distinct marriage regulations. South of the Arkansas river which cuts the state almost in half, the Reme.tsi decree is still in force, and the idea of a new law is to unify marriage regulations regu-lations throughout the entire world. It means that the law will become more stringent in Lemetsi districts and a. tritle less so where the Council of Trent was never published. The clan-destinity clan-destinity of marriage against which the clergy has to put an effective check (s practically given a death blow.
