Vatican that education Of children
should be controlled by the church,
Mussolini replies:

Roger w. Babson, who told us ia
1929 that we were just stepping On
the toboggan, downward bound, nov
says trade Is on the upgrade. He
predicts that we have seen the
worst of our troubles, and that
prosperity is coming greater than
that which ended in the autumn Of
1929.
The President agrees with that
optimistic prediction, and Wall

sias industries, her five-year and
her ten-year plans, in good order

At her present rate Russia will
develop gigantic industrial success,
and great wealth will come with
it. And Russians, from the top
down, will be surprised to find what
effect great wealth can have on ex-

To make man conservative,

Religious antagonism continues
in Spain. Cardinal Pedro Segura
y Saenz, highest Catholic dignitary,
was deported by the republican
government.
After leaving the country of his
own accord he returned incognito.
And, previous to his departure, he
was arrested and imprisoned.
There was no charge against Car
dinaI Saenz, except that he urged
the voters to elect to the new par
alament men who would protect the
interests of the Catholic church.
This was followed by rioting.
Cardinal Saenz did not advise
any rebellion against the republic

not speak his mind.
Queen Mary of England, good

has not done in seven years. Her
idea is to give happy evening to

That must be very pleasing to the

to carry the bottle along for fear
of spilling it's contents, place the

SPRINGTIME
BY d. c. PEATTR.

After the red-winged blackbfrds, the
earliest singing birds to return are the
phoebes. The coot and the snipe and
the woodcock are a bit earlier, but they
are not singing birds, and the bluebirds,
robins, cardinal birds and grackleS that
begin to pour out their songs on every
sunny morning, have, of course, not
been away, or have migrated only from
Southern Virginia.
The phoebes not infrequently arrive
before even the barn swallows, and II
they are less famous and brilliant, the
tribe called Sayornis phoebe is at least
more faithful to US here in the District,
since the barn swallows seldom nest
with US, while Master Phoebe and his
mate (whom he is said to choose for
life) will remain, build their quaint
abodes and raise their hopeful brood.
Indeed, the phoebe's agreeable MARBLE,
which at this cheering season he begins
to utter, sounds to his beloved listener
like the most affecting music in the
world. Even till twilight he often con-
tinues his love lay that, in truth, Is to
our ears more than little monotonouS,
however pleasing when first heard,
while it is seldom too early in the
morning for him to commence the
praises OF his love.
The phoebes build their nests be-
meath caves and bridges and cornices,
and in the days when we had old-faSh-

Much of what is hailed as new, mod

every nerve and muscle in her body, to
tell me that she fears that her child

didn't wait for him. The new nesting
place couldn't be there.
A third time Mrs. Whitehall ap-
preached the Old Pasture. This time
She alighted only little way in. Again
Whitehall cut some capers in the air
and then started down to Join her.
This time she waited for him. He landed
a few feet from her and made her
a very fine bow, of which she appeared
to take no notice.

of it?"
Whitehall knew then that this was the
place He pretended to look 1t over
ANYTHING but his big mate, for he was
very much in love with her despite the
fact that they had been mates for sew
era,l years. They were on a little mound
of dry ground All around 1t the ground
was wet and swarnpy. Some low bushes
grew on that little mound and later
there would be some tall bunch grass
and weeds.

Now let us take a look in the Old Briar-
patch. When we passed over it the last
time, saw Peter Rabbit there and /
thought I caught sight of Mrs. Peter.
There ought to be some little Peters
there before long If there are not now.
It is good to know that Peter and Mrs.
Peter came through the Winter all
right, because now we may have a
chance for a dinner of young rabbit
now and then. Mice are all right for
a regular diet, but do like change
now and then. and nothing gives a bet
ter change than nice, tender. young
rabbit"
So Mr.. and Mrs. Whitehall settled on
the place for their new home and no
one was the wiser. Mrs Whitehall was
in no hurry to build Once or twice
day she would visit the place, but she
never stopped there long. She knew
that sharp eyes were watching her, so
she visited other places in the Old Pas
ture but most often on the Green
Meadows, and the place she went to
most often and where she stayed the
longest was where the old nest had
been.
Those who may know of our old
nest will think we are going to nest
there again." she explained, "and that
is what I want them to think. There
is no hurry about building. Well wait
until the weather is warmer and more
settled"
Whitehall was quite satisfied. These
were joyous days and he continued to
turn somersaults and cut capers in the
air from pure Joy.
