VANCOUVER, B. c., April 10.-State-

Is being affected and the moral balance
Of young Canadians is being upset by
flood Of United States magazines fea-
turing immortality, violence, sensational
ism and crime have been made at the
fourth triennial conference of the Ma
tional Council of Education.
S. e. Lang said that while many
journals and magazines printed in the
United States were achieving great
good, others were not. He argued that
Canada should build up her own liter
ature, based upon sound moral grounds
and in keeping with the ideals that
were the heritage of her birthright and
traditions.
Not alone was there a threatened
tendency to lower the moral standards
of the Dominion by allowing unre-
Stricted importation of United States
periodicals, he said, but the salesman
ship Of costly advertisements, which
make large portion of the majority of
these publications, was providing I'M
fair competition to Canadian producers
and slowly was giving the republic COM

Motion pictures shown at the meet

800 publications offered to the VAN

MRS. M'CORM|CK'S
CAMP A|GN FUND HIT
Illinois Woman State Leqis-
Iator Resigns From G. 0. P.
Body as Protest.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 10.-Mrs.
Iottie Holman O'Neill. senior woman
member of the State House of Repre-
sentatives, has formally resigned her
vice presidency of the Illinois Women
Republican Club as a protest, she ex-
planned, of "the domination of Illinois
Republican women by Representative
Ruth Hanna Mccormick" The club
was active in the support of Mrs. Nc
Corlnick's campaign for nomination and
election.
Mrs. o'Neill. who lives in Downer's
Grove, wrote in her letter of resigna-
ton to Mrs. George B. Dean. president,
that Mrs. McCormick's campaign ex-
penditures Constituted bar to repre-
sentative government by eliminating
candidates who have not a large means
at their disposal"
Interference Is Charged.
In her first announcement of her in
tentinn to quit the vice presidency, Mrs.
O'Neill said Mrs. McCormick's influence
had prevented her MRS. O'Neills) ap-
pointment to an important House COM
mittee.
Mrs Mccormick was in Springfield
yesterday a few hours before Mrs.
O'Neill made public her letter of resig-
nation. The Representative conferred
with Gov. Emmerson.
The letter of resignation said in part:
1T has appeared to me that the &C.
hvities of the club have been to a
great degree directed to carrying out
Mccormick and to a large extent this
has prevented the organization from
giving the program of women'S advance
n1ent generally the support it should
have had from this women's organi-
cation.
Wants Club Independent
'"Those who have followed my ca
reer will agree that am sincere in
my desire to thwart any tendency
toward the denial to the people of
their right to a voice in the govern
ment whether through the influence
of wealth or otherwise.
II hope the Illinois Womens Club
may be able to put itself on an indie
pendent basis as regards any political
candidate and become an organization
truly representative of the Republic
can women of Illinois. Until such time,
/ find to my regret that I shall have
to refrain from being a part of the
governing body"
Friction between the two women first
became apparent following the Repub-
lean National Convention. Mrs. O'Neill
was understood to have felt that Mrs.
Mccormick had been instrumental in
preventing her election as national
comnitteewoman
Mrs Mccormick had no comment
b. make concerning Mrs ONeill's letter
Several weeks ago when the State
legislators attitude was first made
known, Mrs. Mccormick issued brief
statement denyiny that she had at
tempted to use her influence to de-
feat Mrs. O'Neill's committee chair
manship ambitions.

RECEIVERS PURSE
Forces Finder Of Money to Re-
turn Il to Loser

Claiming that he was taught
honesty at the Boys club Of New
Britain. of which he is member.
a young New Britain youth. whose
name has been withheld, helped
successfully to teach honesty to an
East Main street woman.
A woman. who occasionally acts
as a home helper in the western
section of the city, but lives in the
northwestern section, lost her purse
while passing the club. The purse
contained quite large sum Of
money.
She had to give up her work for
the day because of her disturbance
and she went back over her trip to
the store with the hope that she
might find the purse. There was no
trace Of it at the store. but on her
way home she met boy about "a
years of age and casually asked hint
if he had heard OF anyone picking
up a purse within the past hour.
The boy replied that he had seen a
lady pick up a purse and that he
had thought it was strange that she
did not try to find an owner, he had
followed her to her home and knew
who she was.
He gladly accompanied the loser
to the home of the finder, and after
some difficulty. they gained contact
with the finder who Immediately
denied having found the purse. The
boy persisted in his statement and
although nothing resulted from the
conference the two visited the police
station and then to a lawyer who re-
luctantly took the matter in hand
and with the pair again visited the
finder.
The woman persisted in her denial
and the boy was just as positive in
his Identification. When threaten
cd with arrest the woman finally
admitted having found the missing
money. She said she had burned
the purse. but was willing to return
the money. which Size did. In
order to save further trouble and
avoid the necessity Of saying good
morning" to the judge in police
court the next morning, she also
paid the lawyers fee. thus being the
loser by her attempted dishonesty
instead of the gamer.
Today, one young man, happy
member Of the Boys club is the
proud possessor Of a new five dollar
bill, the first he ever owned, because
OF his honesty and judgment.
