of his typical sermons in alumni gymna'
SUM yesterday afternoon and evening
that fairly took the crowd off its feet,
| His topic was on "How to Be Man.
Into it he crowded all the fight and many
maxims that the speech would hold
Graphically he described the manner in
which David went out to slay the giant
Goliath.
A big roar of laughter went up as Sun
day with his chest out and defiance pic
tUred in his every move called out to the
Phillistine. "Say, you big stiff, where do
you get off," and with that he drew back
his imaginary sling and Soaked him on
the cocoa, right between the lamps
Later on in the discourse Billy got
another rise out of the crowd when in
urging the men not to try to beat their
way he said, "We can't ride blind
In the absence of Rodeheaver who was

In his evening sermon in Webster hall

Nineteen Were Presented in
House Last Night and
This Forenoon
COMMITTEES NAMED
IN BOTH BRANCHES
Vermont Legislature Is Now
Ready for Transact
ing Business

With twenty-three bills introduced and
in the hands of committees, nineteen
measures having been introduced in the
lower branch and four in the Senate last
night and this forenoon, the legislature
has emerged from the process of or.
ganization and promises to accomplish
much during this, the second week of
session.
The prevailing opinion seems to be
that Speaker Wilson chose his commit.
tees wisely, his work having been made
comparatively easy owing TO the pres
ence in the House of an exceptionally
large number of capable men. Ii there
are any members who are disappointed
over the committee assignments, they
have successfully concealed the fact.
Chairman Cudworth of the judiciary
committee has had much legislative ex-
perienee in the House and Senate, and
a number of the Others on this commit
tee have enjoyed experince.
Chairman Smith of the appropriations
committee was one of the leading mem
bers OF the last legislature and the same
applies to the head of the ways and
means committee, Mr.. Moore of Ludlow.
OF the score or more measures intro
duced, many are of much Importance and
are sure to receive careful consideration.
The condition is somewhat different
from that OF the 1915 session when most
Of the important acts were not prepared
until the session was nearly half over.
The members are awaiting with keen
interest the bills which are expected To
be introduced embodying Governor Gra-
hams recommendation so thoroughly
to the legislature in his inau
yural address last week Some of the
.bief executives bills, so-called, are ex-
oected the latter part Of the week and !
nay be given to the assembly by the /
,arious committees

Mccarthy Of Slate avenue, in this vii
