FELLOWS,
LISTEN To BIC
BROTHER, z
He Has Five Kids Under His
Wing, and All of EN- Look
For Santa Claus

Five small brothers are suffi-
cient to keep any 12-year-old
boy busy IL months in the
year, but at Christmas time,
with all five demanding to
know what Santa Claus is
going to bring them, the prob
lem is almost foo much.
This serious small person of IL
weighty summers, older brother
and guardian of the flock, has
written the Good Fellow Editor Of
The Washington Times about it.
He says:
Father hasn't a job and
mother is just worried to death
with grocery bills and rent.
They can't be bothered about
Christmas and, of course, 1 un-
derstand. But the little boys
just can't get it through their
heads that Santa Claus is going
to pass them up this year.
''They tell me they have been
gOOd-Obeyed father and mother
and lived up to all the rules.
It just simply can't be true that
there will be NOTHING in their
stockings this Christmas"
The ages of the little boys range
from one to 10 years.
A Friend for Life.
They need clothing (shoes and
socks). a few toys and food. And
the Good Fellow that provides
them is going to have one l2-year
old youngster his friend for life
The Good Fellow Editor of The
Washington Times has found,
even in these hard times, a gen.
elous response to his plea for
these unfortunateS.
Many who feel they cannot
take over the entire problem of a
family write asking if they may
not help out with some other
Good Fellow, combining their ef-
forts.
Joint Help Planned
The scheme has worked out
splendidly and one or two Spe-
cially needy and large families
have as many as three or four
Good Fellows providing for them
this Christmas.
Fill out the blank and let the
Good Fellow Editor know what
you can do. Your aid will be
gladly welcomed somewhere, no
matter how much or how little
you can do.

Vigorous Opposition Expected
r on Auto Measures, But In
come Levy Favored

All four tax bills passed by
the House that increase the tax
burden of the residents of the
District of Columbia So, 900. 900
annually will be first con-
sidered by the Senate District
Committee and residents of
Washington will be given
ample opportunity to be heard
before any report is made to
the Senate.
While only two of the bills
the motor vehicle weight tax and
the gasoline tax meaSureS-were
originally referred to the Dis.
trict committee, the others-the
income and estate tax measures
were sent back today to that COM
mittee.
Senator SmOOt's Motion
This action was taken on the
motion of Senator Reed Smoot,
of Utah, chairman of the Finance
Committee, to which the income
and estate tax measures had
been referred.
Senator Arthur Capper, of Kan
sas, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, previously had
announced that public hearings
would be held by his committee
on all bills intending to increase
District taxes.
The Senator plans public hear
ings at which the District COM
missioners, other officials of the
District government, representa-
tiveS of the Federation of Clti-
zens Association and the Fed
Grafton of Civic Associations and
residents will be heard.
Hearings Promised
Senator Capper said his COM
mittee will devote as much time
as necessary to these public hear
ings in an effort to determine
just what should be done.
In Senate circles today it was
stated that of all the four bills,
the only one which was expected
to gain the favor Of the Senate
without vigorous fight is the
income tax measure. The estate
tax measure also may pass, but
the other two measures are said
to face vigorous opposition.

ton. He felt that it was good for
him. Peter especially enjoyed such
runs in cold weather. They set his
blood racing and made him feel warm
and full of high spirits. He would
run in circles and use simple tricks
to mix his trail up so that he could
sit down and enjoy listening to
Bowser's impatient yelps as he tried

really tired he would simply skip into

not care the least bit that Bowser

GARDEN makers who have been
- growing Witloof chicory will find
1t very easy to force. As many
plants as are likely to be needed
should be stored in a cool place, as
few at time being taken into a fur
mace cellar where temperature of
about 80 degrees can be maintained.
The roots are best forced in deep
boxes such as can be obtained at
grocery store. The boxes should be
filled with good garden soil, and the
roots set in them so that the top is
just even with the surface. Then q
little water should be. given, unless the
earth is damp. Many growers like to
use two or three inches Of sand over
the earth. If the corner of the cellar
where the roots are being forced can
not be darkened readily, box having

Now Bowser is very patient, and he
ran this way and that way shifting the
ground all over so that he would be
able to find trail fresh enough for
him to follow. for BOwser was feeling
just like good run that morning. So
presently he came to the old bramble-
tangle where Peter was hiding. and
then wandering Little Breeze brought
him the scent of Peter fresh and
strong. Instantly Bowser knew that
Peter was somewhere in there, and
right away he became very much ex-
cited. His tail began to wag as if he
would wag it off, way he has of do
ing when he is hunting. Peter almost
laughed aloud as he watched.
All around the edge of the old
bramble-tangle went Bowser. shifting,
snufiing, and whining as he looked in
among the brambles trying to see
Peter. And at last he did see him sit
ting right in the middle. Bow. WOW,
wow!" rOared Bowser fiercely and
tried to crawl in through the old bram-
bles. But the old brambles scratched
Bowser's tender ears and made him
yelp, so that he was glad to back out
and try another place.
Bow, WOW, wow!" roared Bowser
again. "Come out and run, or l will
come in and get you'll" and he made
himself look as fierce as he could.
But Peter sat right where he was
and chuckled. He knew that Bowser
never could catch him in that old
bramble-tangle, and he wasn't the
least bit frightened. In fact, he en-
joyed seeing Bowser try so hard to
brighten him. Besides, it took his
mind off of the worry of how he was
going to get back to the dear Old
Brier Patch without falling into the
clutches of Old Man Coyote. who. he
knew was hiding somewhere along the
way there. You see he had told Peter
that he never would get back there
again.

But the weather bureau does not at
