 The story told by Patrick Crowley, @ cousin of the Griffen family and the stories of Catherine, Margaret and John Griffen, the older children, show
 ed matters in different light. Crow ley showed a letter from one of the
 Griffen children asking him to come

 Sullivan. Crowley said that Sayres
 had always been good friend to the
 family and had been called there for
 the same reason that he had. Sayres was in no way to blame for what hap pened, he said, and did not strike oI push Mrs. Griffen.
 This story was corroborated by the three Griffen children. They said that their mother was all right until Sul- livan came there to live and on nu- merous occasions he had furnishei their mother with gin and rug and got her drunk.

 one is whether it is desirable to foster

 more or less systematically develop a scheme of vocational education during the next few years it is likely to ind itself in a serious situation. Countries In Europe before the war had paid much attention to this matter, in fact,
 whatever success Germany has had in the present war is due to the fact the every man in Germany is a trained man. Referendum was adopted. MT. Frank P Fenton reported on referendum on preparedness. There were ten articles in the referendum which were on motion adopted. | Referendum on resale was reported on by MT. George Taylor. Two ques- tions were discussed; one is that the manufacturers shall fix the price o1 | the article he makes for which the re- | taller shall sell to the consumer. The | other question is that when the re- | tailers buy from the wholesaler the property becomes his and he has righ | to sell it. MT. J. c. Tracy favored z | fixed price for resale. MT. N. c. Iy- | dall spoke in favor of fixed resale
 price. He told of different jobberi who do not live up to their writer | agreement. A dealer who undersell' | others will hurt the manufacturers. l The manufacturer should be pro l tected.
