Mothers Thankful.
Prof CLANCY outlined his plan as
follows:
In the short tune we have been try
ing this plan. 1 have had many
mothers thank me for the idea, say
ing that heretofore it was almost as
hard to work to get the youngsters to
do chores and assist with the work at
h me as to do it themselves, but that
since credit is given at school for these
things. the work is done cheerfully
and better. Many girls who did not
want to assist with the cooking are
now anxious to learn SO they may be
able to prepare a meal by themselves.
Not only has the work been i'm
proved, but hygienic conditions are
better. From a feeling of personal
pride q pupil does not want to bring
in a credit slip showing he has not
had bath for two or three weeks,
neither do his parents want such a
showing The same thing applies to
several other items on the credit

THE amount of credit to be given
for this sort of activity must not be
allowed TO assume undue proportions
in its relation to regular school work,
and at the present time we place the
ma ximum amount at ) per cent, but
as the plan is as yet in the expert
mental stage this may be changed
later on. Each pupil is given a Home
Credit Blank each month, and his
credit of work is kept on this. and

A CARD FROM MIR. BAKER
political Advertisement

To the Editor of The Medium:
AS a result of the four letters pub
lished by me in the Medium about
Mr.. Aiken's public record IN connec-
ton with Civil Service appointments
in the Third District, which he could
not answer, he took advantage of his
privileges as e. representative il.
Congress and made an attack On me
on July 1S, on the floor of the House
OF Representatives, where I an not
permitted to reply. The charges
made in his speech which he only de-
,jvered in part were malicious and
false and no honorable md no brave
1; an would make them in the place
where he wal fully protected from
criminal punishment and civil dam
ages by the following clause of
the Constitution of the United States:
-. Representatives shall
in all cases ...... be privileged
from arrest during their attend
snce at the Session 80; cnd for
any speech or debate in either
House, they shall not be question
ed in any other place.
Thus protected Mr. Aiken proceeds
t. send his false and slanderous state
ments through the mail under MS
franking privilege free and at the
Governments expense.
It should be remembered that M.
AiRen's attack on me before the Dem
ocratic caucus in March, 1913, en-
braced the charges now made by him,
and after an investigation of them my
election as Secretary of the Senate of
the United States was made unani-
NOUS. Again, last winter, he repeated
his attempts to injure me by mailing
the same charges to great many
Senators and newspaper representa-
tives in Washington.
Mr.. Aiken's malicious meanness

unto himself the old saying man

tent in knowing that I have the res
pect and good will of those who have
honored me with the Secretaryship OF
the United States Senate.
Mr.. Aiken is candidate for Con-
gress: l am not. The people Of the
Third District have no interest in his
personal attacks on me, nor in my
opinion of him, but they are interested
in his public record and his acts as
Congressman. He says:
"My record as member of congress

NEWSPAPERMEN AND JUDGE TO
GET TOGETHER TO PUT A
/ STOP TO SLUGGING
The smuggling of llewsDOys because
they won't take more papers than
they can sell was laid at the feet of
the publishers of he~highbrow trust
press yesterday by Judge Harry
Fisher in letter to each of the
newspaper bosses.
Sluggings are being pulled off al
most every day, Fisher declared, and
the cause was the practice of circuIa-
ton drivers in forcing the boys to
take more papers than they wanted.
He called the attention of the pub
fishers of the "upIift" papers to the
fact that newsboys often are serious
ly hurt in beatings they get at the
hands of circulation sluggers for the
trust press.
"All of these troubles seem to be
laid by the newsbOys to the practice
which they call being compelled to
eat newspapers" he declared. THE
disputes seem to be mostly due to the
fact that,the delivery men compel the
boys to take more papers than they
desire to take, or seem to be able to
sell, and the OveTplus is not taken
back.
In the hearing of representatives
Of several large newspapers I stated
in open court that something must
be done to stop this wholesale slug
ging and fighting.
To-day was visited by a commit
tee of the NeWsboys' Protective
union, who claim that conditions are
becoming intolerable.
These fights are becoming more
severe and they would like to do all
they can to avoid it, but find it i'm
possible because of the practices of
the delivery men.

ANOTHER VILLISTA-DODD FIGHT
EXPECTED
FL Paso, Tex, April 27.-Another
battle with Villistas, defeated by Col.
Dodd on Saturday, expected hourly
today. After brief halt at Minaca to
procure supplies and fresh horses,
victorious American detachment is
reported to have resumed chase.
With Dodd closing in on their west
the bandits are believed to be
hemmed in by other American forces
at ProvidenCia and San Antonio,
across the mountains. VilIstas were
making for inaccessible mountain
country east of Minaca at last re-
ports.
While official reports made no
mention of Villas whereabouts, AVi-
ator Willis, who passed through here
to Fit! Sam Houston to be treated for
injuries, expressed belief that Villa
was in section between Minaca and
Satevo. Most of the expeditionary
forces are concentrated at Nami-
quipa and Dublan base camps today,
but picked force of several hundred
cavalrymen are far below Mani
quipa, keeping up search for bandit
leader,
That U. S. must name date for
withdrawal of expedition irrespective
of outcome of hunt for Villa is under
