THE WAY OF THE
VAC is HARD IN
ALBUQUERQUE

Itinerant gentlemen of leisure
are finding but little peace and
calm in Albuquerque. The police
have declared campaign against
them and the city manager has pro-
vided enough work to keep them
busy and in good physical condition.
A thirty-day sentence on a "Vag"
charge does not mean just lying
around and sleeping in Jail 1t
means hard manual labor such as
shoveling gravel.
A large number of "vags" are
now at work in the city for the city
and City Manager James Gladdns
reports considerable work done
during the past week. A large
number of the ''vags' are assisting
in cleaning up at the East Central
avenue paving; others are helping
at the dump grounds and others
are working ten hours a day on
the streets.

something separate and apart from

Chesterton's chivalry is so splendid

who tells this story. adds that Mr..
