amounted to S274.50 Two weeks ago
Mr. Gooding said he had become
alarmed over expenses on the bridge
and had gone there to investigate.
He said the work was not being done
as rapidly as he thought It should be.
The county was employing the work

American working men and wo-

and when they do, criticism Of voca-

In vocational schools lies the cure
for the necessity of long periods Of
apprenticeship, during which boys
and girls, underfed at home and I'M
derpaid at work, are subjected to
such temptations that their survival
Of them should be our proudest
boast.
"The whole idea of vocational
training is to make boys and girls
more able to support themselves,
isn't it?" asked Leut.-Gov. O'Hara.
well, no." said Mrs. Young. you
must add to that, that real vocational
training must implant in the minds
of the young a desire to become
something, an ideal, steadfast am
bition."
Would it be well to enact mini
mum wage law" asked O'Hara.
''That would be special legislation, ="
objected Mrs. Young. Besides, as the
cost of living advanced the legal
minimum would remain the same"
"You have in mind a fixed law"
said O'Hara. 81 was thinking Of
flexible one, which could be changed
as needed from year to year by COM
missions.
~ think such a law would be a
good thing" said Mrs. Young.
''You say real vocational training
would give boys and girls an ambi-
ton to forge ahead; what is the am
bition of q girl who leaves school at
IA and goes to work in factory or
store at So a week." asked O'Hara.

"Of course, if you enact a mimi

no reason why one should be granted.
"A proposal to pension Arson was dis

Governor Tener was asked today
if he was in favor of pensioning Cap

the matter. In reply he said: Speak

physically and mentally and is ap.
pearing weekly on the vaudeville
stage. He is entirely satisfied with
the remuneration he is receiving for
his talent. In common with his many
friends I .deplore the continued refer

provide q pension for the captains
