'"I n mamious to find'a way bf keep ing the 22,000 Hog Island shipyard workers employed, but at present I do not 'cc clearly what can ho done with the plant." ' Governor Sproul, discussing the future of Hog Island today, suggested that some big corporation might be best fitted to handle the great plant created there for the building of freighters and transports. "I am afraid it would not be praeticable to keep Hog Island run ning as a shipyard," said the Governor. "The plnnt is too large" for ordinary tirais There would not be a sufficient demand for ships to use Hog Island's full shipbuilding capacity. "It would seem that the best use to vlueli Hog Inland could be put would be to establish a great terminus there like the Bush terminal in New York. It would be nn expensive undertaking, which perhaps the railroads or some great corporation could best handle. It must be remembered that the buildings now ut Hog Island are only tempornry and of frame construction. They, would have to be replaced in a few years. Whoever buys Hog Island will have to hi prepared to spend a lot of money on it ' 1 am interested in the outcome, nnd have given a lot of thought to the matter I expect to continuo to do so, ami hope that it will be possible to ar rive at some solution."

Although he has no strong convictions upon tho subject, Mr. Wer ein believes that both trouble and ex so could be saved by the construction of u subter ranean passage nnd that tho efficiency of transportation between the tv- shoics would be increased by tho more up-to-date structure. - "My chief purpose in suggesting a tube instead of a bridge," Mr. Weglcin said, "is to open the way to a thorough discussion of n project that will im olvo nn outlay of millions. It is a common fault with municipalities to go into great ventures without sufficient con sideration of what they really entail. "As the bridge matter stands now, the city will pay one-quarter of the co.t of tno superstructure- oi me iji-uiium-u bridge and will shoulder the cost of the abutments and approach on this side UL IUQ l,,U, Al. n uiiiiud, .,,.... .....v central point will be chosen for tho Pennsylvania terminus of the spau. ISo matter what point is selected, whether it is Arch street, Vine street, or f.ny other part of that section of tho river front, it will involve legal and financial entanglements of unusual proportions. "The public should thoroughly un derstand what an enormous thing this bridge project is. "It seems to me that a tubs' would be more up-to-date. This plan was adopted n New lork and other places, ho why not here? Cars and motor and horse-drawn traffic coul dall be ac commodated. The trip could be made by fast cars in about sixty seconds."

Dissatisfaction with tho name "League of Women Voters" is apparent among delegates to tho annual convention and is es pecially manifested by those from the West nnd South. As these two sec tions of tho country have tho largest representations they havo ever sent to any national women's suffrage gather ing it looks ns if aMivcly and possibly a bitter fight may develop. Mrs. Georgo Bass, chairman of the women's bureau of the Democratic na tional committee, who has politlcnl hcadquarters.in "Presidential row," was the first to voice objection to the word voters." Anil this despite uic .met that iu his telegram to tho convention President Wilson expressed the hope thnt the national League of Women Voters would have a successful future. Mrs. Bass declared the name "Wo men's Legislative Council" would prove vnstly more acceptable to tho majority of the delegates. "This name is more in accord with the purposes of the organization as stated by Mrs. Raymond Brown, who in outlining the purposes of tho league' said that it was to, be primarily edu cational." Mrs. Bass said. v Mrs. R. B. Simmons, who heads the Oregon delegation, supports Mrs Bass in this contention. "The Western "wo men, those of Oregon, California and Washington dlsliko the , word 'vot ers,' " she explained. "The Women's Lorislatlve Council of California' is al ready an established organization nnd has tho same aims."

To Mrs. Bass, Mrs. Catt said, ns she wrote her name I in the visitors' book : 1 "I am a tery honest non-partisan. ! I am waiting for the platforms and the men thnt are to be recommended by the two political parties." n "I will give you permission rignc now. to write the Democratic platform," re plied Mrs. Bass. "I will if you will bring me the signed permission of Senators Under wood and Reed," Mrs. Catt answered. "I will give you the written permis sion of this man." promised Mrs. Bass, pointing to a large picture of I'rcsident Wilson hanzinc over the desk. "I think he would do that," nnswercd Mrs. Catt. "I admire President Wil son very much and I agree with every word und every net of his, and I think history will give him tho commendation he deserves."
