Without wide open windows and
plenty of fresh air, sleep is of less

Without wide open windows and
plenty of fresh air, sleep is of less
benefit to the child.
So-called "laziness" in children is
often found to be the result of
lack of sleep, or of sleep under poor
conditions. Since the quality of
sleep has as much to do with the
| child's welfare as the amount of
sleep, the need will be sen for good
ventilation proper bedding and
night wear.
Many mothers are perturbed be-
cause it takes their children a
seemingly long time to go to sleep
after they go to bed. Apparently
they expect children to fall asleep
almost Immediately. -
A special study was made of the
length of time it took children to
go to sleep. The results, both for
afternoon maps and night sleep, are
striking and show that the average
child takes twenty minutes to go
to sleep. This figure is quite con-
slant for all ages.
1t leads us to suspect that some
of the difficulties which free par
ents in connection with the sleep
ing habits of their children arise
from expecting immediate sleep. It
takes time for the child to calm
down, particularly when he has
been playing hard or has been TAX
en- away from some engrossing ac-
tivity. More patience should be
shown.
An unexpected fact which came
out of the whole study on the sleep
of young children is the differe ice
in the length of sleep taken by
country and city children. At all
seasons and at all ages, country
children get less sleep than do city
children, the difference varying
somewhat with season, but being in
the neighborhood of twenty min
utes night.
An explanation which has been
offered of this difference is that
country children tend to go to bed
with the family to much greater
extent than do city children, and
hence go to bed somewhat later. A
study of the bedtime of country
children and city children show
that this is true. The most striking

Cute little chicks and Dummies

past week playing Flying Dutch

we do not make the proper land

bit of dirt was accumulated on
some of our clothing.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth
grade has been studying many of
James Whitcomb Riley's poems
this past week. Miss Steines also
read Darius Green and his Flying

sely.
The third grade has been having
some rather interesting descrip-
tons during the language period.
Some are so interesting because
they are so very hard to guess.

There are different reasons for
that.
Saturday March 14th, we are go
ing to have school You see, it is
this way. We are going to have
rather a demonstration day, so
that all the teachers of the Sank
Centre Rural Teachers club may
visit school. This is taking the
place of the regular monthly meet
ing. If any of our listeners are in
terested in the work that is going
on in our little studio, we shall be
very glad to see you there next
Saturday. Some thought that six
days of work in one week was
quite bit, but then the next
week, we will have only four days
as we will have Monday off.
Miss Steines brought her Saxa-
phone one day this week. We had
fully intended that Miss Clark
should play the organ and Miss
Steines the saxophone, but the
organ is so high pitched that it
was impossible to tune the two
together. So that was another
bubble that burst.

enjoys story telling that we hear
stories pretty often. But when
story telling time comes, the first
class seems rather large for it
seems as if the whole school listens
when Miss Steines tells the stor-
les.

Growing with your child
Sleeping Arrangements


Each child should sleep in a bed
alone. 1t is desirable that each in
dividual have a room of his own,
but this is not possible in the av-
erage household.
A bed not too soft and yielding is
preferable. The covers should be
warm but light. Some children get
up in the morning exhausted from
the weight of the heavy covers inn
posed on them.
Children should not sleep in the
same room with the parents after
early babyhood. Neither should
they sleep in the same bed with a
person of the other sex. This is a
matter of Importance frequently
disregarded.
Proper ventilation is an import
ant element in the child's sleep.

CLASH OVER POLICY
THREATENS RIFT At
DISTRICT BUILDING
Bride at Odds With Utilities
Body on Procedure in EIec-
trio Light Case.
BY JAMES z. CHM.

Sharp differences of opinion over
two important local issues-the new
trafic bill pending in Congress, and
the consent decree governing electric
rates-threatened yesterday to cause q
rift in the relations between the Public
Utilities Commission, the District
Commissioners and the corporation
counsels offlce.
The Commissioners and the Public
Utilities Commission, it was learned
are still at odds over the traffic bill, de-
spite several previous attempts to bring
them into agreement. And in addition
the commission now has openly clashec
with Corporation Counsel William w
Bride, its general counsel, over the
proper legal procedure for seeking mod
iflcation of the electric rate consent
decree.
Already revised seven times in its
comparatively brief but hectic career
before committees of the House and
Senate. the new traffic bill, which the
Commissioners prepared, is not yet in
form that meets the approval Of the
utilities commission, and there are in
hAOuCAOAlo Vi 1tB1lI ONCI 81 1CdSJ
one Of its cardinal features. In the
meantime the controversy between the
commission and its general counsel
warmed up as Bride started work on a
statement pointing out what he believes
to be the error of the commissions in
structions to attack the consent decree
in the District Supreme Court.
Bride Works Overtime.
Surrounded by corps of assistants,
Bride worked overtime in an effort to
complete his statement, but finally gave
up in WEAKNESS in the late afternoon
and went home. He expects to have 1t
whipped into shape about noon tomor-
rom, however, and will present it to
the commission whether 1t likes 1t or
not.
The renewal of the dispute over the
traffic bill Is little further in the
offng. But that Is destined to come
when the Senate Subcommittee on
Streets anG Traffic resumes the incom-
pleted hearings on the measure.
This much can be said for the traf-
&c bill and its seven revisions: No
other proposed legislation for the Dis
trict in recent years, has met a SIM
liar fate because of the difference of
opinion Of the governmental agencies so
intimately related and so similarly af-
fected. And 1t could have been avoided,
perhaps, had these agencies adhered to

CHURCH COLLAPSES
ON I At WORSHIP
IN MEXICAN QUAKE
Death Total Mounts to 106
as Reports Come From
Stricken Area.


MEXICO CITY, January 1.-THE
number of deaths caused by Wednes-
days earthquake reached LOG in totals
compiled here late today.
The death of II persons in a church
at Guelapova during Wednesday nights
earthquake was related by Serge Eisen-
stein, Russian film producer, who re-
turned here today with the first eye
witness account of the disaster.
Eisenstein, who has been in Mexico
for some time making motion pictures
said a great crowd was assembled in
the church for q fiesta.
Spires ToppIe on WOrshippers.
When the quake struck so worship
pers and a priest were killed outright
and 81 have died since from injuries
inflicted when the great old spires, built
years ago by the Spanish conquerors
toppled into their midst.
1t was feared that others had been
killed in the town of Huixtepec, 18
miles south of Oaxaca, as an old church
in which they prayed for safety came
tumbling down about them.
Oaxaca lay in ruins with half its
buildings wrecked. Soldiers, police and
volunteers were turning over the debris
in a search for the bodies of additional
victims. Twelve persons are known to
have died there and the panic-stricken
populace was still living and sleeping
in the open, despite the intense cold.
Crypts Are Split Open.
The Soviet producer brought back a
vivid account of the disaster in Oaxaca
and environs. He said block after block
Of houses lay In utter ruin and hun
dreds of bodies exposed by collapsed
walls in their cemetery crypts were be-
ing burned.
He described Oaxaca as a city still
trembling the inhabitants being afraid
to return to their homes.
EiSenstein said only few buildings,
the largest and best-built in the city,
had escaped destruction. The market
place was shaken down and all the
houses on three entire streets-both
sideS-were destroyed.
He related that the most horrifying
sight was at a cemetery, where bodies
buried in crypts along long wall were
exposed when the walls split open
These crypts were sprayed with gasoline
and tie bodies burned to prevent
disease.
New Quakes Shake City.
The River Oaxaca, which cuts through
the suburbs, now Is dry channel, the
quake having diverted the water away
from It,
Three new earthquakes shook the city
last night, destroying 20 houses which
had been weakened by the previous
shocks. The movie director added that
the ground was shaking when his plane

The pilot kept the ship In the air for a
few minutes until the shocks subsidized.
