With the object of preventing or at leant checking the spread of idleness and a plan has-been BUKKeatcd by Kev. Father Mtnchan to have a reiristra-tion syiiteiii.Y As outlined by him yesterday, Father' Mine-, ban's plau would require every man over 18 of aire to liae a card, similar to the card of identification nearly al-, ways issued by accident insurance companies a those, they insure, setting forth the holder's name, address, employment and the place where; he works.

This, Father Minehaa thinks, would prevent loafing and with that obviate a large portion of crime as the great bulk of it is committed by loafers who, "do nothing but hang 'around and sponge on other people." If this plan were carried out, a policeman finding a man loafing in a park eould demand to see his card of registration if the man eould not produce it he Avould be liable to arrest as a vagrant. If he claimed to come from some other place, he would, he' required' to show what hit business waa here. WHERE FISHING IS GOOD.
