to withhold the funds. The present
Board of Vocational Education would
be abolished and its remaining actlVl-
ties would become major DIVISION OF
the proposed department.
Educational activities instrumental 10
proper administration of some other
primary function of the Federal Gov
eminent would be left under the Jufis-
diction of the department Responsible,
such as Indian education in the ONCE
of Indian Affairs, agricultural extern
sion in the Department of Agriculture,
and military training in the War ana
Navy Departments. To achieve CO.
ordination it is recommended that there
be established an Interdepartmental
Council of Education to work with the
proposed Secretary of Education.
The committee emphasizes that the
powers Of the department must not be
such as to encourage Capitalization OF
power in Washington at the expense OF
state autonomy. It would have mo
legal or financial power ard 40 regu-
latory or executive authority by which
it may control the social purposes and
specific processes of education" Such a
limita ton of powers, 1t is pointed out,
is a return to the original Federal pol
icy in this matter. and a complete re-
versal of the tendency shown in much
recent Federal legislation to build up a
centralized control in Washington.
The committee which drew up the re-
pert was composed of 81 men and wom-
en- who are leaders Of American educa-
tional life and thought. Among them
was DR.. Henry Suzzallo, president of
the Carnegie Foundation; President
James r. Angel of Yale University,
President Harry w. Chase of the Uni
versity of Illinois. President George H.
Denny OF the University of Alabama.
President Mary H. Wooley of Mount
Holyoke College and william Green,
president Of the American Federation
Of Labor.
Approved 43 to 8.
The report as a whole was approved
by a vote of 43 to 8.
There were two minority reports
One, signed by Rev. Drs. George john
son and E. A. Pace of the Catholic Uni
versity of America, takes the position
that a Federal department is unnecces-
sary and federalizing menace. In the
other, exception is taken to the policy
of no Federal grants for special forms
of education. to be controlled by the
Federal Government, specific reference
being made to Negro education.
The committee recommends continu-
ing the studies for guiding The improve
ment of education in the States. The
most important of these would deal with
sax systems, distribution of national in
come, living costs, public expenditures
FOR education and other matters consid-
cred essential for readjustment Of the
present specialized Federal subventions

grant of 100000 by the Julius Rosen-

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 20.-Visualiz-
ing a population of 100000 in the
metropolitan area within 35 years,
George McAneny, president of the Re-
gional Plan Association, warns that
New York must move TO cope With II
or face creeping paralysis"
Within 35 years this metropolitan
district will be the scene of the most
gigantic concentration of people, bust
ness and industry in the world" he
told the New York Credit Mems ASso-
citation last night.
III this growth develops according
to sound and workable plan, business
will prosper, industry will thrive, traf-
fic will move freely, and the public will
find health, comfort and convenience in
the home areas and recreational facil-
tiles.
Without such a plan, creeping
paralysis may well overtake us bust
ness will lanquish, industry will slow
down, traffic will drag tediouSly, and
homes will deteriorate with the indis-
eliminate and unregulated mixing of
land uses" He said the regional plan
provides for a metropolitan railway
belt line. to which all trunk line rail-
roads would connect, a faster and
cheaper transit system to take care of
committing traffic, and an amplified
highway system, including a chain of
parkways and boulevards, and would
encircle the entire region within so
miles of City Hall.

The following cable conveyed to WASH

General conclusions reached were
necessity of adoption of purely defensive
attitude on all secondary fronts and
withdrawal of surplus troops for duty
on western front. BY thus strengthen

numbers arrive to gain ascendency.
ITO accelerate participation Ameri-
can forces and provide necessary trans

When Your Cough Hangs On, Mix
 This at Home

For coughs due to colds, the best remedy that money could buy can easily be mixed at home. It saves money and gives you the most reliable, quick-act- ing medicine you ever used. The way 1t takes hold of stubborn coughs, giving immediate relief, is astonishing.
 Any druggist can supply you with 21a ounces of Pinex. Pour this into pint bottle, and fill up with plain gran ulated sugar syrup or strained honey. It's no trouble at all to mix, and when you once use it, you will never be with out it. Keeps perfectly and tastes good-children really like it.
 It is surprising how quickly this loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and soothes the infamed membranes. At the same time, part of the medicine is absorbed into the blood, where 1t acts directly on the bronchial tubes, and helps the system throw of the whole trouble. Even those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics, are promptly ended.
 Pinex is a highly concentrated com pound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in refined, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases of severe coughs and bronchial irritatiOns.
 Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

Mint vending machines, which pay bonuses in brass tokens and provide entertainment for investors, were classified as gambling devices to-day in decision handed down in police court by Judge T. ". Meyer. William Mcfarland of 424 Willow street in whose place of business the machine with a triple threat of profits was found was given suspended sentence.
 An Interpretation of the Judges briefly stated decision is that his honor considers the presence of the machines here as an incentive to gambling, but that MT. Mcfarland in this particular case was not a party to the attempted scheme.
 The special ruling on mint vend. ing machines was necessary to. dis tinguish the differences between the so-called New Haven machines as those, which have been in evi- dence in Waterbury for more than ten years. The Elm City police not withstanding supreme court rulings put ban on the supposed vending machines. The instruments in themselves are not actually hit- or-miss proposition.
