A Bird Story Louise AhrenS

Daddy once built birds house. Eech year the swallows come into it. When they come they get straw and take it into the bird house and make nest out of the straw.
 But once a squirrel came and stole some of the birds eggs. Daddy shot the squirrel. The swallows went back to their nest with their little swallows.
 Another squirrel came and stole all the eggs that the other squirrel left. So daddy shot that squirrel too.
 The swallows were so fright ened that they did not want to 20 back to their nest for long time. But when they saw us they came back to their nest, because they knew that we would not hurt them.

GREAT ART EXHIBIT
TOBE OPENEDHER
Centenary of National Acad-
emy of Design to Be CeIe-
brated at Corcoran Gallery.

Action taken by the board of
trustees of the Corcoran Gallery of
Art this morning assures to Wash
ington the opening OF the exhibition
in cole bration of the one hundredth
anniversary of the National Academy
OF Design Of New York, largest and
oldest organization of painters and
sculptors in America. The board
formally and unanimously ratified the
proposal TO hold this important event,
scheduled for noXt autumn, in the
National Capital. Preliminary neg
Gotiations looking to such a plan had
been in progress some time and their
probable outcome had been forecast
from New York.
This exhibition, considered not
only one of the outstanding art
events in the history or Washington,
but OF the whole country, will prob
anly open at the Corcoran Gallery
late next October and close early in
December. The board of trustees
has authorized {. Powell Minnigrode,
director of the gallery, to cooperate
to the fullest extent in making def
mite plans, which will now go for
ward at once. That part of the Cor
coran permanent collection which Is
In the upstairs galleries will be en-
tirely removed in order to make room
.
which is expected to include one or
more pictures by all the great Amer
lean painters Of the past century,
together, probably, with pieces OF
sculpture covering a similar period.
Practically every famous American
painter and sculptor OF the past cen
tury has been a member OF the Ma
uonal Academy of Design. That its
centennial celebration should open
here in the National Capital, con-
sidered the logical art center of the
United States, is considered highly
appropriate. Inasmuch as tho Cor
coran Gallery OF Art was established
primarily for the acquisition and dis
play of fine examples of American
art, the installation therein OF such
an exhibit as the one planned by the
New York organization was consid-
cred distinctly within the scope of
the functions OF that gallery, and all
connected with the institution warm
iy welcomed the idea. The exhibit
WIZ probably be transferred to New
York after II has been displayed here
for some weeks.

warned that a continuance of DISC
hedlence will culminate in his being
expelled from the political bureau
and the Soviet executive committee.
These facts became known yester-
daN in semi official communication

The communication says that at

third, that the question of the further
employment of Trotsky on the exec
GtiVe committee be postponed until the
next party Congress, with warning
that his continued disobedience would
entail his removal from the political
bureau and the executive commit
tee.

illness, to attend its session and de-
olaring that he had kept silence in or

He vigorously denied he favored re

Trotsky added that he himself re-
Farded ''Trotskyism" as ended po-
1ttically and said he had not foreseen
that his book on the revolution would
be made use of on the political plat
form. Regarding the accusations
against him OF lack of discipline,
Trotsky wrote:
II reply emphatically that / am

outside any post and under any con-
troll imposed by my party. ] is use
less to emphasize that after recent
discussions our cause necessitates that
j should be relieved OF my post OF
president of the revolutionary war
council"
The resolution adopted by the com
mission declares that Trotsky's anti
feminist views regarding the peasants
constituted a special danger to the
Communist party, as his attitude had
undermined the confidence of the
peasants in the Soviet policy. Fur
ther the resolution observes that
Jrotsky's letter. while giving an un-
dertaking 10 perform any task as
