VALE MEN SPENT SUMMER
WORKING FOR HENRY FORD

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. q
The experiment OF sending Yale
students to work the past summer
at the Ford Motor Company plant,
in Detroit, was highly successful
Director A. B. Crawford OF the
Yale Bureau of Appointments said
today. Fifty men, forty-three Of
whom were self-supporting under
graduates, earned about 1875 each,
and securing broad training by go
ing through one department after
another.
1.-THE Students Mr.. Crawford
Faid, were Yale college men inter
ested in industrial management,
scientific school men observing both
industrial and engineering prob
lens, and students Of sociology at
tracted by the opportunities for
research in that field"
Mr.. Crawford, in commenting
upon the success of the arrange
ment, said: 1.-The Industrial value
of the experiment is reflected in
the subsequent decision OF several
other companies to organize SINH
lar student groups next year. The
value TO the students is reported
by them greatly to have exceeded
their own high expectations. AS
o medium for vocational study and
practical training the experiment
proved by far the most valuable
form OF summer employment yet
developed by the university"

Three Candidates for Com

Stampede Predicted
By rnternatlonal News Service

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. ALI dele
gates to the seventh annual con-
vention of the American Legion
were primed for the big battle to-.
day over the election Of q national
commander. The meetings of
leaders IN hotel Hobbies, hotel rooms
and clubs continued throughout the
night, with a renewed enthusiasm
this morning that promised q real
contest.
The boom for Past State Com
rnander Howard p. Savage, OF
Illinois, continued strong through
the prediction campaigns, and
the supporters Of Colonel John II.
McQuigg. Of Ohio, and Edward Spaf,
ford, Of New York. were doing
their utmost to elect their candi'
dates. Other candidates that may
count are O. T.. Bedenhamn1er, Of
Arkansas: william P. Healy, Penn.
sylvania; Wilder r. MetcaIf, Kansas.
and Thomas w. Miller, Delaware.
Stampede Likely
The possibility Of the convention
stampeding to some nationally
known delegate was considered
great here today, as many Of the
State delegations gave evidence Of
stubborn insistence on their favorite
son. 1t was believed by some con.
vention veterans that the proposal
of some nationally known man
would cause these States, who know.
they cannot win, to cause q
stampede to the new candidate.
Colonel Mitchell has been pro-
posed by several ardent Mitchell
supporters as possible candidate,
although he Is not considered likely.
The chances OF Savage, OF Illinois,
some legionnairee say, may come
with a deadlock between Spafford,
of New York, and Colonel McQuigg,
OF Ohio, should the third COM
promise candidate fail to appear.
Spafford, who was q last-minute
candidate in the convention last
year and defeated by James A.
Drain, is considered the strongest
candidate. for the office.
Candidates Backed
lie is solidly backed by the New
York and several other Eastern
delegations. Savage, on the other
hand, has the solid support OF
Illinois, and McQuigg the immoy-
able vote Of Ohio.

River, Mont, was unanimously

MEANEST GIRL ROLE
GOES TO MISS, is

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Oct. o.
Many have usurped the title
"meanest," but it remained for
sixteen-year-old Frances GrZyboski,
of Chicopee, TO set a new mark
for tGat doubtful role. Frances,
according to the local police, who
arraigned her in Juvenile court
here, made a speciality of locating
little girls sent by their mothers
on errands.
Promising to do the errand for
the child and, in addition, to bring
her back a great big doll" Fran
ces would prevail upon the child
TO turn over mothers pocketbook
with whatever it contained. Then
the child would wait vainly for
sight of Frances or the doll.
