REAL WORK FOR SOLDIERS

Clarence F. Lange of the l42th aero squadron who has been stationed at Vancouver. Washington for the past six months, has been honorably discharged from service and has returned to his home in this city. Private Lange spent sometime at Waldport, Ore, and talks Interestingly of the life of soldier in the northwest.
 Our division was getting out spruce for construction of airplanes," said Pri- vate Lange, and my squadron con- structed the railroad into the forest to bring the timber out. The camp at Vancouver is one of the best camps in the United States, and while we were there We enjoyed many liberties that soldiers in other camps didn't have. However, we all wanted to go overseas and it was truly great disappoint- ment to me that l didn't get into the scrap.
 The people of the west were grand to the soldiers and did everything they could for our pleasure, even the In- dians on nearby reservations came up to camp on the Fourth of July and en- tertajned the soldiers with war dance which was most picturesque with all the participants wearing their best clothes.
 There were more than 30,000 men stationed at this camp. and they came from all over the United States When first enlisted I was sent to Fort Oglethorpe and from their to Kelly field, San Antonio, Tex, where I re- mained for several months, being transferred then to Vancouver

VOCATIONAL EDUCATION BILL

] Following the adoption of an amend ment suggested by Governor Kilby, the house of representatives Monday passed | the vocational educational bill by vote | of 6s to nothing. The measure will go to l the senate without engrossment. The bill is entitled, ITO provide for the acceptance of the benefits of an act
 passed by the Senate and House of Rep resentatives of the United States Of America, in Congress assembled, to pro- vide for the promotion of vocational education: to provide for the appointment. of a state board of vocational education and to provide for the duties thereof. and to make appropriations for vocational education.''
 The bill was so amended as to permit the state to accept the benefits of the government fund during the years of 1919 and 1920. Governor Kilby suggested that the time be specified because he did no know what heavy financial bur dens the state would face in the future.
 In the two years it is figured the state can ascertain whether or not 1t desires to continue to accept government funds
 matching those funds dollar for dollar for vocational education purposes. MT Brndley of Morgan county, sought to add another amendment, but this amendment was defeated.
 With only >two dissenting votes the
 
 house passed senate bill No. s9 of MT Carmichael of Colbert county This bill provides for the appointment of a com mission to make & study of the edcua- tional system of the state. The mem berA of the commission will work during the long recess without pay. They will have access to all records and will re- port about July 1 to the governor. It is expected this commission will point out the good and bad features of the present school system and will suggest remedial measures.
 Because there is serious split in the Jefferson county delegation in the house, the bill of MT. West, introduced and passed in the senate. and which will provide for special taxes in Bir- gham went over until the 18th leg ;slative day. upon the suggestion of MT. Green of Dallas. The measure up for debate Monday, when MT. Green in- formed Speaker Merit the Jefferson county delegation could not get to- gether" on the bill. The house unani- mously agreed to defer action until the 18th legislative day.
