WINTERTIME
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

The poet of gray days has yet to
lit his voice. There are a few fine
passages in Longfellow and Whittier
poets OF a cline where gray days are
predominant. Among the painters there
are better opponents of the etched fine
lines of winter afternoons. Redfield
paints snow, but he paints it best in
sunlight. Arthur Rackam is my IA
vorite in the subject, because he under
stands the tracery of leafleSS branches
and the Subdued high lights on trunks
and silvery fruit pods of weeds.
we need some one to point for U.S.

row Of the cat-tail marsh in winter.

that did not fall in the macabre dance
OF it's fellows, and the way that tulip
tress go marching up and over the
Virginia hills. black against the sulky
splendorS of a Winter sunset.
Never in my view are trees so faSci-
mating or, for the matter of that. so
profitably to be studied as in Winter.
The true tree lover will even venture a
reasonable guess at the identity of a
tree from distance by the pattern
that It's twigs make against the sky.
Somebody ought to coin new word

that it is close to "etchery." We have
the word etching and also witchery.
Combine the two and you have some
thing like an accurate name for that
selfSame pattern. There is a redun-
dancy of phrases to describe Spring.
time nature, and the nature of Autumn
and Summer, for that matter. The vo-
cabulary for Winter is impoverished
and trite, and words literally fail us.

more than anything else. This was a
wonderful place for both. He fluffed his
feathers out and shook out the snow
! that had been driven into them. Then
he settled himself into a comfortable
position and almost as quickly as you
could wink your eye he went to sleep.
Spooky slept nearly all night. That
was because he had been so thoroughly
tired by his fight against the wind and
the snow. The truth is, had he not
found that refuge when he did, the
storm probably would have been too
much for Spooky and he would have
died out in it. So he slept and slept.
and it was not until morning that
Spooky awoke. Strange sounds Swoke
him. His eyes flew open in startled
surprise. For a moment or two he
couldn't imagine where he was. Away
down below him there was a stamping

Spooky could see all this very clearly.
for up where he was the light was dim,
whereas down below it was not SO dim.
Outside the storm was still in prog

North Wind bowling around the barn.
When Farmer Brown opened the barn
door and entered snow blew in with
him. But inside that big barn it was

and peaceful.
Spooky suddenly became aware that

to him just then that never had he
been quite so hungry. "If only I had
something to eat" thought Spooky. II

sir, that is just what I would do.

Never in all his life had Spooky the
Screech Owl been more thankful. You
see, he had almost, given up hope of
finding shelter from the snow and
wind, when he had actually been blown
against Farmer Browns barn and had
accidentally discovered one of the little
doorways which had been cut for
pigeons away up near the roof. No
pigeons were kept in the barn now.
Spooky had hung on with all his might
and finally pulled himself up and
through that little doorway. Such a
long breath as he drew them 1t was
warm in there. Rough Brother North
Wind could not reach him. He was
out of the wind and out of the snow.
For few moments Spooky sat quietly

just inside. He was trying to get his
breath. Also, he was trying to adjust
his eyes. You see, he had been more
than half blinded by the snow. Spookys
eyes are made for seeing in the dark.
OF course, he cannot see in absolute
darkness, but he can see in darkness
that you and cannot see in. So after
a few moments Spooky flew over to
rafter high up in the roof.
'All want now is to rest and Sleep"
thought Spooky. He forget that it was
long time since he had had anything
to eat. He forgot that there was such
thing as hunger. Rest and sleep were
the two things that Spooky wanted

Suggests Building One
 Narcotic Prison Farm

Washington, Feb. 2l. R@The suggestions that it might be wise to build only one of the two proposed narcotic prison farms as an experi- ment before going ahead with the other was made in the house appro- priations committee in its hearing on the second deficiency supply bill.
 Dr. Walter Treadway of the pub lie health service, who has been assigned to make the investigations preliminary to the establishment of the farms said that the work still was in the experimental stage and it was not known if rehabilitation treatment could better be adminis- tered on the farms than in the prisons.
 Representative Buchanan. demo- crat, Texas. then interposed thef sug- gestion that it might be better to start with one farm as an eXperi- mcnt before establishing the other.
 Dr. Trcadway estimated that the two farms would cost between s7,- 500.000 and Sl0,000.O00.
 The farms were authorized in the Porter bill passed at the first ses- sion and are planned to care for rarctolc addicts among federal pris- oncrs with d view to curing them. Treatment also would be provided other persons who applied for it.
