system ~ making clubs at trick the
lowest ranking bid. spades having only
one value, trick. a. royals.
This change carries with IT, OF course.

Almost without EXCEPTIONAL rooms

High School almost five hundred
pupils are using building built to ac-
Commodate from two hundred and
fifty TO three hundred Many classes
are double the proper size for most
efficient work. Most pupils cannot 90
beyond High School to college. Their
proper training demands additional
courses, for which the present build
ing can offer no space or equipment.
The High School enrolment increased
this year almost twenty-five per cent.
All the ventilating systems nre tax
ed beyond their capacity That means
impure air and danger of disease The
ol ercrowding renders the dangers from

ted their report after an exhaustive
study Of the social evil as ii now ex-
lists in Huntington The underworld
girls have been tracked and inter
viewed and their efforts to ply their

In tabuiated form the finding of
the commission is as follows:

time Of the closing of the

The vice commission says nothing
Of the social evil that flouriShes in
Huntington under the thinnest Of thin
coat of Responsibility. 1t may be nee
essary for the chief Of police and
Others TO hound the Maedalenes. but
why overlook the public officials, who
are supposed to shine as bright eX-
amples TO the youth Of our city. II
may be we'll To brand the underworld
girls with the scarlet letter S, but
why no; put the burning iron on all

We do not pretend TO be angels, but
If We are going TO have clean-up---
why clean up---thatS all.
Mr.. PuritanS. don't deceive your
selves into thinking that the girls do
not know what is going on in certain
circles. which YOU dare not inreSti-
gate. You are simply investigating
the effects Of respectable" forms Of
the social evil. No underworld girl
begins where YOU are investigating;
they end there. and in seventy-fve
