There was criticism yesterday of the fact that as
the antivice bill was under discussion in the house
yesterday, a large number of Mckinley high school
students, many of them young girls, filed into the
room and took seats 1t was even limited that these
girls had been invited to for the purpose of
fiuencing the debate or the vote. That Is wholly
untrue. The fact is that Mckinley instructor tele
phoned to a house clerk some days previously ask
ing for opportunity to take a civics class to the
house for an object lesson in parliamentary prac.
tse in legislative circles. The house clerk suggested
Thursday on the advice Of a house leader. 1t was
not then known that the class would come at time
set for debate the antiyice BILL The appearance
Of the young students at that time was wholly acct
dental, but because it Immediately became the sub
jet of rather sensational comment, it is worth
while to explain exactly the circumstances of their
visit. s.. 49,, p -"

that he probably will not drive this

Two reasons are advanced for
Resta's retirement. It is said he is
not satisfied with his contract with

Peugeot in which Dario scored his
American triumphs, and also that his
wife, q sister of the late Spencer
Wishart, fears that he will meet the
same fate as her brother, who was
killed at Elgin in 1914.
