While the Senate was jogging along

by President Guy w. Bailey Of the
University Of Vermont and Judge
Erwin NJ. Harvey Of Montpelier, and
dispatching an ordinary days work,
the House, in full days session,
passed ~ bills, rejected II, ordesed
three to a third reading, refused third
reading to one, ordered seven bills to
lie on account of members absences,
adopted conference committee report
on one and eoncurred in Senate pro
posal Of amendment ON two
II took four yea and nay votes and
an almost unlimited amount Of debate
to do the trick in the House, which
prolonged the session until nearly 6
p. m. Meanwhile the Senate had
passed nine bills, ordered y to third
reading, passed one under suspension

mittees' report and report on mileage

only few scattering votes being re-
corded against il. So much was not
permitted TO H-1S4, appropriating
$4,000 for stock barns on the state
fair grounds, on which Mr.. Warner Of

tor home. Mr.. Dorsey Of Rutland city
explained the need Of such a home
He stated that although the children
committed to the state board Of char

an be placed in good homes, there was
great need for a station where they
could be kept temporarily, cleaned up
and made ready to 20 into decent
homes.
Mr. Wade Of Dorset made a person
al matter Of it, saying that If he had
been let to the tender mercies Of his
home town and not taken into a good
home he probably would not be in his
