TENS Of the District. is expected to be
discussed at the annual meeting of the

Mr.. Suter has been employed with

period Of the merger discussion.
His duties. il was said, are

thing else that may be desired in con-
nection with the merger. question in
which he has long been interested.
Would Refrain From Vote.
Mr.. Suter has said that he saw no
impropriety in remaining as a dele.
gate to the fedora ton because of his
connection with the McAdoo firm as
long as he does not vote on public
utility matters. except when spe-
officially instructed to do so by his as
sociatiCn.
Surprised at Action.
Mr.. Suter gave out the following
statement today:
II am surprised that it is matter

way merger plan for the District of

am only chairman of the committee
on national representa- ton and am
not now interested in any way in the
political side of the fedora ton or Of
any citizens association, but am as
always. interested in matters affecting
the public welfare of Washington. /
have been particularly scrupulous in
that every time l have discussed the
merger with any one i have stated
that l had been employed in connec.
tion with the preparation of merger
plan.
This, of course, can be readily con-
firmed by numerous persons, including
fore employment was even suggested

ties Commission and approved it, with
the exception of some suggestions
which were later adopted and which
I believed were very much In the
public interest. l also informed
prominent members of my own asso.
citation of my employment and have
been generally congratulated, because
this seemed TO be an opportunity to
render every real public service.
Sees No ImprOpriety.
"When I was employed by Mr..
Clagett Of the firm of McAdoo, Neb-
lett. O'Connor & Clagett TO assist in
the preparation of the plan. he asked
me whether l thought l should re.
sign as a delegate to the federation,
but after being advised against that

SO. particularly because l am deeply
interested in the question of repre-

Sam Lewisohn. who presided at last
nights session. Under the former
plan. articles made by prisoners are
used by the State instead of going

and equally because / saw no impro
to the federation as long as I did
not vote on public utility matters. ex
cept when specifically instructed to
do so by my association.
Far from seeking 10 line up dele
gates OF the federation in favor of
any particular merger plan, almost
my entire activity has been confined
to gathering facts as TO the history
of efforts to bring about a merger
in the District o. Columbia, and Civ.
ing my best ju ignent ON public sen
timent in the District as to what
should be embodied in the plan. Those
who have been framing the plan have
shown what to ire is very laudable
and unusual disposition to consult
Washington pubic sentiment in this
matter.
Public Service Cited.
Certainly nothing that have done
could stir up factions in the Fedora
tion of Citizens Associations. because,
as far as / know, the same informa
ton regarding the proposed consolida.
ton plan has been made availa BILE as
widely as possible to civic leaders gen.
orally. including all who might be con.
sidered as belonging to different fac
tions of the federation. With a mum.
ber of these civic leaders l have had
nothing at all to do with the outlining
OF the plan to them.
LAS is natural in matter of such
vital concern to the people of the
District of Columbia, some of the first
reports have been extremely erroneous,
but | believe very strongly that when
this question has been examined more
thoroughly publicly it will be realized
what has been done is in the public
interest. and that at last Washington
really has an opportunity of realizing
it's long ambition to bring about
merger or consolida ton of tho trans.
portation facilities of the District"

It has learned to say word not to express a feeling but because it is the name of ain object which it recognizes. It can now use different tones in say ing the same word to express different ,1uf.s of meaning.
 For several months the child makes no new progress in talking. It learns new words, but because it can not yet express thought, but only emotion, this is called the single word stage.
 At the end of the second year, our children learn to use two or more words at one time. This is one of the biggest leaps forward. Sometimes when some thing has happened to annoy the child, or make him feel deeply about some thing, he says a whole ,tring of words, running them all in together
 There isn't any fixed order of words. The child usoS verbs and nouns in the same way. It is always something that ha0pcns in its young life that makes the child use lot of words at this time, instead of the one word which it uses when it is about year old.
 When if upsetS its hobby-horsa now, 1t says rapidly all the words it has ever heard and learned, one right after the other. Now the child is ready to Iearn accent and rhythm.
 The last great stage of development of speech in the child comes when it's way of speaking changes from being like that of any other child in the world, to way of its own, that is recognized as personal. And at this time it also learns to compare things. It can say That is big, but this is bigger"
 This is the fashion in which babies learn to talk.

American babies, Turkish, South Afri- can and Indian babies all gurgfe in the same way. Ike race a baby comes from makes no difference at all in the bab bling it does when it is very, very young.
 It is only a great deal later in the baby's life, when it begins to remembel the sounds it hears about it. and tries to jn2it"tr them, that the difference iu babies is noticed, according to Professor Karl Buehler, noted German philologist. who is endcavoring to trace back the history of human speech.
 At the beginning of the second yea the child has the power to give names 10 objects. During the early months many things have occurred 't has heard the words mama" or "dada' or papa" aud now proceeds to say them
 But even now the chiId's power to sav things and express its feelings le little greater than that of the dog which can express grief and joy, anger and fear by barking. The child, too uses the few words it has heard and can initiate to express its own feel. DuYS only
 And then suddenly, the child learns that "dada' should be said to the man who holds it in ifs arms every day, and kisses it goodnight, and mama" to the woman who nurses it and plays with it during the day

 When the doctors came to that room, they were sure that behind the door was death. The boy sprang to his feet, his eyes wide with surprise. He did not know what had happened and cried when he learned Kaiser" had died.
 Thus it was that Otto Omikron, who today is the only man on earth who can inhale deadly gas, and exhale it again without injury to himself, discovered that he is immune to gas poisoning.

 The doctor stretched out his hands to receive them, thanking him several times. for it was considered favor.
