LONDON, october 2.-Tales of cool
ness between King Alfonso of Spain and
Premier Primo De Rivera, the Spanish
dictator, are reaching the Spanish
frontier. Some observers think that the
premier, who has just celebrated the
fifth anniversary Of his dictatorship,
may be replaced.
Travellers from Madrid arriving at

had been a renewal of agitation against
the dictator during the last few days,

PRISON HEAD SEES
MRS. W|LLEBRANDT
Warden Shook Understood
to Have Been Quizzed on
UnderCover Agent Mix.up.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
John Shook, warden of the Federal
Penitentiary at Atlanta, called to Wash
ington by Attorney General Sargent
for a conference, was questioned today
by Assistant Attorney General WILLIE
brandt regarding his refusal to permit
three Department of Justice agents to
conduct an investigation at the prison
until they could produce orders from
one of the wardens' three superior off,
GERS authorizing such an investigation.
Shook reached here yesterday, but
was prevented from seeing the Attorney
General, and today when he called. Mr..
Sargent referred him to Mrs. WILLIE
brandt. Neither Mrs. Willebrandt nor
the warden would discuss their con-
ference, but it was learned at the de-
partment that the warden's refusal to
permit an investigation by the agents
unless they had orders from the Attor-
ney General, the superintendent of
prisons or Mrs. Willebrandt was the
subject of his examination today.
The differences between Shook and
the Department of Justice arose some
GIIle ago when IL was charged JnaC a
Department of Justice under-cover
agent had ben committed to the
prison from Detroit apparently after
conviction for violating the prohibition
laws. The prisoner was known as Peter
Hansen and in April of this year was
transferred to Leavenworth, where ac-
cording to the charges, he was freed
and continued the work for his depart
ment in Honolulu.
Thomas c. Wilcox, a Department of
Justice agent, recently investigated the
conditions in Atlanta prison under full
authority and when the other agents
appeared Shook would not permit them
to carry on their work
Snook's conference with Mrs WILLIE
brandt today was short. but he was
told to return to her Office later in the
afternoon.

HOOVER AND SLEMP
DISCUSS VIRGINIA
"Romanism" Letter to Come
Up at Conference, 1t
Is Believed.

The political outlook in Virginia, with
perhaps, some reference to the effect
created by the now famous "Romanism

cuSsion today at conference between
Herbert Hoover and c. BaScom Slemp
Virginia's national committeeman.
Slemp was to visit Hoover at his per-
sonal headquarters on Massachusetts,
avenue early this afternoon. The ap-
pointment is said to have been made
prior to the explosion in Virginia over
the much repudiated letter sent out
over the stamped signature of Mrs.
Willie W. Caldwell, national commit
teewoman for Virginia.
It was regarded likely. however, that
the Caldwell letter would come up fo1
discussion at the conference, for the
excitement it caused has not entirely
died away. In some corners of the
State there has been an undercurrent
of agitation to have Mrs. Caldwell re-
lieved of her Office, as considerable dis
satisfaction exists over her explanation
to Chairman Work that the letter was
unauthorized by her

Emmie was writing a short
story for her English tWAcher.
That is she set out to write
the story for her teacher: but be-
fore she was half through she was
writing it for the sheer joy of
weaving a fascinating yarn and
setting it down on paper. The
girl was blessed with a vivid
imagination and a flair for ex-
pressing her thoughts; so, of
course, she found pleasure in
composition.

At 5 o'clock Charles came from
the playground, where he had
played football since Q o'clock.
He had lost in the scrimmage,
and felt disappointed about that.
He had hurt his knee and bruised
his shoulder. Besides that he was
tired and ravenously hungry.
And the minute he set his foot
in the house his mother said:
Charlie, l want you to fix that
top on the coal bin as I told you
to do yesterday. And I want
you to put away all that rubbish
you left on the cellar floor; and
your father says tell you that he
is tired OF driving muddy car
and he wants it washed before he
uses it again."
Charles said something un-
gracious aloud and something else
under his breath. Then he stalked
on upstairs to his room with
scowl on his face which his
mother could not understand.
If she had just waited until the
boy had eaten and rested, she
could have then assigned the
tasks and he would not have
minded the work.

young daughter get up at 7
o'clock in the morning and prac.
tice her piano lesson before break.

Then it was q good story after

Miss Pettus did not like 1t.
That teacher was exactly like
many other teachers and many
parents. They cant see beyond
their own orderly, well-regulated
processes. Whatever differs from
their SNUG opinions Is worthless,
in their estimation.
There are many young hopefuls
struggling vainly to get from
under the personality that teach.
ers or parents are trying to i'm.
pose upon them.
No two children are exactly
alike, and when elders insist upon
moulding their thoughts, their eff
forts, their deeds according to
pattern, youngsters break loose
and give trouble. What is the
sense in trying to standardize the
young"
You probably know Of q child
whose personality Is SO vRid, so
radiant that he unconsciously at
tracts notice when he enters a
room. Sometimes such children
are lucky enough to be let alone.
There are parents and teachers in
the world who permit their charges
to develop their own personality:
to exercise their own thoughts; to
preserve their individuality.
Are you that kind?
The Washington times., 1928-04-18

A demand upon the child's ef-
fort at the wrong time. in the
wrong mood and at the wrong
place is worse than useless. Moth.
ers who keep an eve upon their
children can usually tell from the
youngsters attitude. expression.
tone of voice whether the time is
ripe for new endeavors.
When your boy IL deep in the
spell OF a mystery story Is no
time to suggest exercise with a
punching bag. If his playmates
are waiting outside for him to
come and fly his kite, you need
not expect him to thrill over
planting flowers in the back yard.
There are times when he might
enjoy making his own little gar
den, but that isn't one Of them.
Stop for a moment and con.
slider your own temperament and
peculiarities. When do you like
to do certain kinds of work?
Under what circumstances can
you get the best results?
After all, it is results that you
want from your child's training
and not blind obedience.
Find out when your child is fit
test and let him do the hardest
jobs at that time. Use as much
tact and diplomacy In guiding his
efforts AS you do in your deal

consists of cylinder placed
