 AIDING IN SOUTH

LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Handling the street broom with almost as much confidence as they ever flecked dust in the home of "missus", twenty eight negro women have appeared as official street cleaners in Louis vile. They receive $2 day for nine and half hours and each cares for territory eight blocks square.
 They will earn uniforms, some thing akin to the "white wings" worn by men in pre-war days, as soon as they prove their capability. On the streets in the retail shopping district, pedestrians good naturally urged them to "be careful'. All the women worked diligently, croon- ing Southern melodies as they pro- ceeded.
 They came in many garbs, one wearing a new suit of overalls, a mans hat and hob-nailed shoes.
 Superintendent Charles Oestreich, of the street cleaning department said the experiment, if successful, will solve an important labor short age problem.

THINK GOVERNMENT

London Newspapers Are Inclined to Look
with Dissatisfaction on Asquithian
Move.

London, May 9.--The intense interest
in the crisis brought about by the letter
of Major General Maurice is reflected in

much prominence of to.day's doings in
the House of Commons and the attitude
of political parties toward the govern

with the subject very fully.
Opinion is general that if former Pre-.
mer Asquith forces his motion to have
select committee investigate the
charges made against the government by
General Maurice to division, the gov
eminent will obtain a majority, which
some commentators believe will be sub
stantial, However, views differ as to
how far this will satisfy the public.
Some hold that verdict by the House
of Commons in support of the govern
ment will completely vindicate the gov
eminent and crush what they call the in.
trigue of the Asquithisn opponents
Others say that such verdict will prove
nothing except reluctance to GUST the
government at critical moment, leaving
the main question unaffected.
The latter view is voiced by the Daily
Chronicle, which, while predicting par
iamentary victory for the government,
possibly by large majority, says this
would indicate nothing more than re
uctance by the commons at moment

Spaulding High School Lost
to Montpelier Seminary

MONTPELIER ALSO
MADE POOR PLAYS
Polli Pitched a Fair Game
for the High School
Team

The Montpelier seminary baseball
team defeated Spaulding high school on
the seminary campus Wednesday after
noon in a comedy Of errors by a score OF
I to L. Montpelier made most OF the
bouehead plays, yet their hits were made
at times which brought runs, while
Spaulding's errors were made with the
same result for Montpelier.
Spaulding missed Vanetti but Rivers
appears to have the makings OF good
catcher, with more age Polli worked
well and deserved TO have won his game
but Mann made a couple of bad plays,
while Geals let a couple get away from
him at first, one of which resulted in
run. Mann made pretty running catch
in the seventh inning, only to spoil the
play when he threw the ball over the
backstop, Hatch and Irons scoring on the
play,
However there was some question as
to Irons score, as to whether he had
right to 20 home on the wild throw, after
having taken two bases. Umpire Lance
finally decided that Irons had right to
20 from first to third on the throw home
to catch Hatch which failed, and then
had the right to go home on the wild
throw.
For the first two innings Spaulding
was unable to score but in the third,
after Morrison struck out. Mari let Rob
Morgans drive through him He stole.
Parks was an easy out for Ward. Geals
singled, scoring Morgan. Then Mann
doubled, Geals going to third. Rennie
singled, Geals scoring; but Mann was
thrown out at the plate by Church, fail
ing to touch the bag
In the sixth inning Dodds dropped
Manns fast one and he scored on errors. |

4 wild pitch let Ward 90 to third and
he scored when Rivers dropped throw
to catch him at the plate,
In the second inning two errors and

inning an error by Mann and a single by
Mari scored Irons; while in the seventh
a passed ball let Hatch 60 to first, Irons
advanced to third, Ward was an easy
out, then Mari drove a fly into the air
which Mann did nice piece of work in
getting but on the return OF the ball
Hatch and Irons scored. A passed ball,
stolen base by Ala and single by Lance
allowed Ala to score in the eighth inning
