chief of the textile division of the De-

Doubtless most of the women who
subject themselves to this hoax must
realize the extent of the trick to
which they are willing slaves. but the
psychology of the Partisan appeal has
put them in q frame Of mind under
even manifest resentment at an ex-
posure of the truth, Mr.. Pickard adds.

These figures, Mr.. Pickard points out,
are only fractions of the actual total

abroad by parcel post.
Against these figures the United
States imported about $10.0O9, 900

that the import figures are from ac-
tual records made from all kinds of
shipments. while export figures do
not include quantities of garments

D. c. RADIO PERMIT
, POLICY DELAYED
Question of Regulating Out.
side AeriaIs Awaits Action
of Commissioners.

The question OF requiring all radio
fans who have outside aerials to OBJ
tain a permit was 'all up in the air"
at the District building today.
Yesterday the mental equilibrium
of thousands of radio enthusiasts
was disturbed by the announcement
that the police had been notified that
any person who erects an outside
antenna must get a permit from the
electrical department.
Today Warren Z. Hadley, electrical
,n"i"""r. announced that he was not
prepared to issue permits, but was

hurried to the District building to
comply with the law.
The reason for the sudden change
IN the situation is that Mr.. Hadley

More than a dozen listeners in
were at the District building when
the doors opened this morning.
Mr.. Hadley held haSty consultations
with other officials. after which he
broadcast the announcement that no
permits would be issued at present.
II is expected some action will be
taken by the commissioners within a
day or two to clarity the situation

citation. with age limits between six

siastie support,
VIII Govern Itself.
The plans call for self-government

the check of a moderator. to be ap-
pointed by the parent association. in

tions. The youngsters would elect

own direction. 1t is pointed out that
such an organization would be q val

and the theory of government. as well
as give the members q practical un-
derstanding of the more fundamental
elements of political economy.

lowing adoption of a resolution, ap-
ointed a committee to walt on the

tween 9Th street and Illinois avenue.
A request has been made. il was an
nounced, for the remodeling OF a
store on that block. which is listed

visions of the zoning act prevent re-
modelling while the zone is resi-
Dental. The committee was in
structed to investigate whether the
remodeling could be done while the
block at the same time would hold

but to protest in case an attempt
was made to make the entire square

ing. Its features were musical num-
bers by Mrs. Florence Berry and Mrs

Raggedy Andy had never seen a Snarlyboodle before. Nor had the Knight for that matter. And maybe you have never seen a Snarlyboodle either. And when the SnarlyboodIe just walked up and took the magic basket of goodies right out of Rag gedy Andy's hands, Raggedy Andy was very much surprised. So. the Knight suggested that he and the Snarlyboodle should fight to see who should have the magic basket.
 But the Snarlyboodle said that he wouldn't fight but he would "wres- tle." So the Knight and the Snarly- poodle wrestled and wrestIed and tus- seled and husseled, until both grew tired, but neither the Knight nor the Snarlyboodle could wrestle the best
 You and I will have to wrest1e now!" the Snarlyboodle told Rag gedy Andy when he had rested after wrestling with the Knight.
 So Raggedy Andy rolled up his sleeves and wrestled with the Snarly- poodle until finally the Snarlyboodle wrestled the best and sat on top of Raggedy Andy.
 Now hand me the magic basket of goodies and the magical wooden sword" the Snarlyboodle said 10 the Knight, Then I will jump off of R1RRadU f1d ha, wi h them, so that you won't have them yourselfl"
 The Knight was just about to do this when Raggedy Andy said, Don't you do it, Mister Knight! He hasn't wrestled me enough yet! Just as soon as l rest little more, then I shall start and wrestle better than ever!"
 So the Knight gave Raggedy Andy a cream puff to eat while he was resting with the Snarlyboodle sitting on top of him; and. because they did not wish to be selfish, the Knight gave the Snarlyboodle one, too.
 My! But cream puffs are goodw the Snarlyboodle cried as he sat on Ragge edy Andy and ate. T shall wrestle all the harder after eating this, for now I want the Magic bas- ket more than ever!"
 Raggedy Andy waited until the Snarlyboodle had finished eating his cream puff, because Raggedy Andy did not wish the Snarlyboodle to lose any of it while they were wrestling. Then when the Snarlyboodle had finished eating his cream puff, in- stead of getting off of Raggedy Andy so that Raggedy Andy could get up and wrestle the Snarly just sat upon Raggedy Andy and would not budge.

THE MOTHER OF MoLIERE

A firm foundation of good care, good living and good reading was built for Moliere, the greatest of all French playwrights. by his mother. Marie Crosse, before she died, leaving this 11-year-old son. There is no record that she was particularly brilliant woman in an intellectual sense, and she was most distinctly a member of the bourgeoisfe being the daughter of Paris upholsterer. Yet she was we'll read, and instilled into her children love of books. Upon her death was found, with her other and more domestic possessions, a complete set of Plutarch's Lives" a rather unusual choice of reading mat ter for A French woman of the mid dle classes of those days.
 In addition to this. she WIS a para gon of all domestic virtues.
 "She kept house well and taste fully" writes a biographer of her il- lustrious son, land an inventory al her death showed that she had large stores of the napery on which the good housewife of the old days SC prided herself.
 There was found. also, a little bundle of birch rods, with which, ap parently. she kept her little brool adhering to the straight and narrow path of good behavior. Although this woman was not considered exactly in the light of an inspiration for her son. vet the manner of living which she set before him as a child doubt less moulded his character to a great extent and was of great importance In the building of his great career.
