Governor Appeals
To People for. His
Welfare Measures
Reconstruction, Labor and
Food Plans Are Subjects
of 3 Addresses Made at
Syracuse on Upstate Trip

SYRACUSE, March 12.--Governor Al
fred u. Smith to-day made direct ap-
peal to the people for the support of
his program for the reconstruction OF
tho state government, which has en-
countered opposition in the Leeisla-
ture, and for the other measures which
he believes make for the betterment OF
conditions in New York State. 1t was
his first upstate trip in his campaign
to crystalline public sentiment behind
the things he believes are necessary.
The Governor addressed an audience
Of women Democrats late to-day; was
a guest at dinner given by the re-
construction committee of the Chamber
of Commerce. which was non-partisan
In character, and tonight addressed q
gathering of business men, at which he
outlined changes he advocates in the
state government.
One effect Of these changes would be
to centralize authority in the Governor,
making him responsible for the proper
conduct of state government; make the
Governors term four years, and reduce
the number of elective officers An
other would permit him to establish a
budget system. Governor Smith claimed
that under the present system Gov
ernor is handicapped by division Of au-
thority and restrictions.
In his address to the women Demo-
Gratis the Governor advocated the fol-
lowing measures:
Legislation to make school teaching
more attractive financially, completion
of the Barre Canal and terminals, de-
velopment of water power for state
benefit, minimum wage law for women
and minors, eight-hour day for women
state e-subsidized community health cen
ters, better care of the insane. compen-
sation for industrial diseases, imme-
date relief of the housing situation
state control of the production and dis
tribution of milk and abolition of the
Council of Farms and Markets.

Tho1'1as's Postponed
Recital Presented
AT Aeolian Hall
Barytone Has Made Prom.
ising Beginning in the
World of Song; Voice
Full of Color and Flexible

John Charles Thomas, whose post
poned recital took place yesterday
afternoon at Aeolian Hall, possesses
one OF the warmest and most brilliant
barytone voices now to be heard in
public. His limited experience in the
world Of song recital has not as yet
been sufficient to make him com
plete master of the Rrt, but he has
made most encouraging beginning.
His voice is high barytone, Uniform
in timbre, full Of color, uexible and
fuently produced. He has. too, an ad
mlrable command Of mezzo-voce, but
his overriding of pianissimo was at
times unfortunate.
Mr.. Thomas sang especially well the
"Pagliacci" Prologue and the "Vision
Fugitive" from Massenet's "Herodiade, !"
and, as far as tone went, Mendelssohn's 8
ut Is Enough" though he lacked full
assurance in the oratorio style. was
pity that he should have thought fit
to incorporate Mana Zucca's group of
children's songs, which might have
been very we'll in their place, which
place is not on the program of seri-
GUS song recital. Mr.. Thomas's ac-
compartments were finely played by
Romaine Simmons, while William
Janaushek was at the organ. The audi
enee was large, and portion of it was
forced to find seats upon the stage.

Buy Flowers for Window

Plants Will Brighten the City,
Callatin Believes; Easter
Lilies for Snow Piles

Buy flowers this spring, Park Com
missioner Francis D. Gallatin urged
the public in special ukase issued
yesterday. Buy them and if you are
lucky enough to have an apartment
set them on the window si4ls.

ss flowers, and the influence they will
have on the people will make this the
most cheerful city in the world to
live in
New York was thrilled from the Bat
terry to the Bronx yesterday by Park
Commissioner Gal1atin's spring song.
Energetic and flower loving citizens
have been fired by his plea. NOT only
do they intend TO decorate their win
dow sil!s and make New York the most
cheerful city in the world, but some
Of them are going further.
The unremoved snow piles, they say,
should be crowned with pots of Easter
lilies. Smilax is to be encouraged to
climb about the fire escapes and
orchids will hang from the kitchen
stove which will furnish the requisite
temperature for their burgeoning.

Bedtime Stories
By Thornton W. Burgess
Reddy Fox Finds Out How Peter Got Away
The thing you've puzzled most about
1s simple once you'ue found it out.

Before Reddy could even guess what
Chatterer was going to do, that little
relocated scamp had run down the
trunk of the tree and darted across
almost under Reddys nose. Reddy
made q wild jump, but he was too
late. Chatterer disappeared in that
hole of Grandfather Chuck's. Reddy
listened. He could hear Chatterer
scrambling along that tunnel that led
down from the hole under the stump.
Then for a minute Or two all was
quiet. But it was only for minute
or two. Then the stiffness was broken
by Chatterer's sharp, jeering voice,
and it came from tree over beyond
the fallen tree-trunk. Reddy grinned.
He had found out what he wanted to
know. Chatterer had quite uninten-
tionally given away Peter Rabbits
secret.
Reddy turned and trotted away with
out even so much as another look at
Chatterer. And as he trotted toward

Chatterer the Red Squirrel is quick
tempered. There is no one in all the
Green Forest who loses his temper so
easily as Chatterer. Reddy Fox knows
this. In fact. everybody knows it.
When Reddy Fox told Chatterer that
the latter must have been mistaken in
thinking that he had seen Peter Rab-
bit and Mrs. Peter Rabbit come out of
that hole of Grandfather Chuck the
day before, Reddy had expected that
Chatterer would at once become in
dignant and lose his temper. That was
exactly what Reddy wanted. You see,
Reddy is very smart and sly and he
long ago learned that when a person
loses his temper he often will say
things which otherwise he would have
kept to himself. In this way Reddy
had learned many secrets.
Chatterer did lose his temper. His
tongue fairly flew, and when Chat
terer's tongue once starts there is no

is a back door to that old house of
Grandfather Chuck's and it opens right
under that big pile of brush. That
fallen hollow tree is hollow for its
whole length. Peter and Mrs. Peter
simply crept through that tree trunk
and down into Grandfather Chuck's
old house through that back door. Then
while Mrs. Reddy or l watched for
them to come out where they had gone
in they stole out Of that doorway
under the old stump and went. home.
They fooled us all right. I'll have to
admit that they fooled us, but now that
I've learned how they did it they won't

Meanwhile Chatterer the Red Squir-
rel had recovered his temper and be-

what he had done and he began to
regret that he had so easily lost his
temper. "I'll have to warn Peter
