42 [After debate the chair again inquires if the assembly is ready for the question, and no one claiming the floor, he puts the question on the amendment to the amendment.]

The question is on striking out the word "wrong" in the pending amendment to the resolution and inserting "a mistake." As many as are in favor of the motion say Aye. Those opposed say No. The ayes have it and the amendment to the amendment is adopted. The question is now on the amendment to strike out "bad"' and insert "a mistake." Are you ready for the question? [Question put, amendment adopted, and question stated as now on the resolution as amended.]

I move to substitute for the pending resolution the following: "Resolved, That in the interest of health the cook should rank with chemists." [Seconded.]

The pending resolution is, "Resolved, That it is a mistake to look on cooking as if it were a lower grade of work than tending a machine in a factory or clerking in a store." It is moved and seconded to substitute for this the resolution, "Resolved, That in the interest of health the cook should rank with chemists." Are there any further amendments proposed to the original resolution?
