ROSTERS were growing, the hens were
squawking, and the pigeons In the
pen near my bedroom window were
Tapping their wings In terrified
fashion. Greatly alarmed, placed
the baby in her crib, abruptly break
ing into her dinner hour. and rushed
madly TO the window to peer out and
learn the cause Of the tumult. ! was
anxious about son John who was sup
posed to be enjoying an afternoon OF
play In the big, fenced-in backyard.
The scene that met my frightened
gaze was altogether amazing, anus
ing and puzzling,
John was perched high on the roof
OF the pigeon-pen. AT his side was n
pile OF stones and sticks. How he
managed TO carry them there will
never be known, One by one he threw
a stone or stick at the frightened
fowls, often hitting one and causing
1t to go limping away to hide under
the hen-house or shed. The ROSTERS
stood their ground and crowed In q
most raucous fashion John was
laughing merrily and aiming squarely
as he endeavored TO conquer Mr..
Rooster as he had the hens. Just as
I threw open the window Old Rooster
toppled over, stunned by the blow Of
large stone
"Johnl Johnp I screamed angrily,
whatever are you doing2 Come to me
this minute! No. walt, I'll have to help
you.' John waited.
Back In the house, with Sister In my
arms again, her cries quieted and John
on the stool in the corner as a punish
ment. I said meaningly: Whatever,
John, made you do such a thingp I'm
so surprised and hurt. You might
have killed my finest chickens. Don't
you remember Daddy paid ten dollars
for Old Rooster and he is the pride
Of his hearth"
1 must have looked quite downcast
for Johns face clouded somewhat, yet
there was look Of doubt and ques-
tioning in his eyes. Surely the child
knows he was doing wrong" I
thought. But his answer cleared the
situation entirely.
He said, quite nobly: you told the
Mothers Club yesterday, about Dr..
McKeever and his books--what he
said about Johnny throwing bricks
down the chimney 20 scare Grand
mother
I was too amazed to say anything,
so John continued to explain.
you read that DR.. McKeever said if
boy did such things, he was not bad
but full of promise"
John filled to the minute his hour
of punishment, but l lightened the
pressure by reading to him stories
that would carry the meaning Of in
nocent pranks and the harmful effects
of hurtful ones. explaining, also, as
best / could, DR.. McKeever's story.
1t is needless to write that the clue
members had good laugh over this
experience. Ever afterward their
little pitchers with big ears and
bright minds enjoyed the Mothers
Hour on the school grounds under the
direction Of one of the mothers or the
kindergarten teacher, each club mem
Der taking her turn. A loving and
helpful task it proved to be to all con-

When they cater to outside patrons
they are encroaching or business that
belongs to outside eating places.
Most of these cafeterias in Govern
ment buildings are subsidized by Gov

business that has no such helps cannot
compete with such conditions. The

INJUSTICE CHARGED
TO ECONOMY LAW
Representative Mead Says
Act Has Increased JobIeSS
in P. O. Department.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Mead of the House Post
Office Committee today charged the
Post Office Department unjust in ed-
ministering the economy law.
The New York Democrat took the
stand during testimony by Thomas F.
Flaherty, secretary of the National Fed
Grafton of Post Office Clerks. at the
opening of an investigation Of post
Office mail and building contracts. Fla
herty had said the Post Office Depart
ment 'is guilty of fragrant violations Of
the economy bill"
I'VE agree they the Post Office De-
partment) are carrying out the provi-
sions of the economy act with ven-
geance," Mead said.
Injustice Is Charged.
"They are doing an injustice to the
employees, patrons and to their own IN
teerity in the face of what President
Hoover and Postmaster General Brown
have said. President Hoover said the
furlough plan. if adopted, would put
20 900 substitute postal workers to work.
Instead of giving 10000 men work, they
are driving the 10000 substitutes in the
service to starvation"
Mead said postal officials were keep
ing within the appropriations allotted,
but that they were not giving Sunday,
holiday and overtime work to the sub
stitutes as provided under the economy
act
FIaherty said 1--WE should go to the
President and present the situation tc
him.
A restrictive administrative policy
of the department, Flaherty said, hao
increased unemployment. A sharp de-
cline in the volume of mail" brought
about by the increase from to 3 cents
in ifirst-class postage, he added, had
resulted in curtailment of workers.
|, Asks Rate Repeal.
\ The cents postage might properly
be irpealed at the short session Ct
Congress-" he continued. saying 1t was
not returning greater reverue than the
2-cent rate.
Flaherty asserted there is no justi.
fication for continuing the Scent post
age, because it does not return the rev.
enue expected and has increased un.
employment"
He added the department had sus.
pended its monthly reports on revenue
and that Congress and the public was
in the dark as to the decline in volume
of mails.

HOME LOAN BANKS
| TO BROADEN SCOPE.
Send Out Stock Subscription
Blanks to Institutions
Not Now Eligible.

Anticipating early legislative action,
the Home Loan Bank Board today was
sending out stock subscription blanks
to financing institutions not now ell
gible under State laws for membership
in the new Federal system.
This step follows an announcement
by the board that it had approved a
method whereby building and loan as
sociatiOns, life insurance companies and
savings banks can subscribe to stock,
their subscriptions to become effective
on enactment of enabling legislation by
their respective Legislatures.
Board Action Explained.
The blanks contain the following ex-
planation Of the boards action:
The Federal Home Loan Bank
Board, in its desire to serve the institu-
tions in those States whose statutes
prohibit their admission to membership
in and purchase of stock of Federal
home loan banks, has decided to allow
those institutions to subscribe now for
stock in the banks of their respective
districts. to take effect Immediately upon
the passage of enabling legislation by
the Legislatures of their respective
States.
Greater Accuracy Cited.
"In this way the board can determine
with greater accuracy the number of
institutions of given state which de-
sire to become members, the amount Of
stock they will purchase, and will be
better able to present to the various
Legislatures as they convene the neces-
sity of passing enabling legislation,
thereby permitting these subscriptions to
become effective ard in full force"
In many States building and loan
associations may participate, but savings
banks and insurance companies are
barred. In other States the reverse is
true. In Connecticut, Idaho Maine
Minnesota Missouri Nebraska, Ohio,
Oregon, Rhode Island. South Dakota
and Tennessee no home financing insti-
tuition is eligible. The board said en-
abiing legislation is being prepared in
Missouri and Ohio.

COPPER FRAGMENT
CLUE IN BOMBING.
Worcester Police Broadcast
Alarm for "SWarthy Pair"
Seen Near Judges Home.

BY the Associated Press.
WORCESTER. Mass. September %
Hopes for the swift apprehension of
those who bombed the home of Judge
Webster Thayer rested today in small
piece of copper found in the bed room
of a nearby house.
The fragment of metal had beer
hurled across the street from the Thayer
home, through the wall and into the
center Of the room where it was found.
William P. Finneran, chief of detec-
tives, believed it to be a part of the
bomb that wrecked the home of the
Sacco-Vanzetti trial judge yesterday.
Meanwhile police broadcast an alarm
for two swarthy -complexloned men in
an automobile carrying New York regis
tration plates" The car was seen in
front of the judges house shortly before
the explosion, and a neighbor said its
two occupants left the scene hurriedly
just before the blast
Quest for Motive.
Investigating officials went back to
the trial of the two radicals. who were
executed in Massachusetts State Prison
in August. 1927, for motive.
Judge Thayer pronounced the death
sentence and refused new trial. Many
times he had been threatened and many
times his home, at l80 Institute road,
had been the scene of demonstrations.
Never before, however, had there been
any violence.
The judge himself was not ready to
accuse any single group. Asked If he
attributed the bombing to his part in
the Sacco-Vanzetti trial, he answered: ::
You can't get me to say that. That
is for the police to determine.
William G. Thompson, one of the
counsel for the two radicals during their
trial, said the bombing was an out
rage and he did not believe it the
sympathizers.
Fuller Home Guarded.
Boston police today had placed guards
at the home of former Gov. Alvin
T Fuller, who refused to commute the
sentences of the two men when he was
Governor of the State. Cambridge
police carefully guarded the home o.
President A. Lawrence Lowell of Har-
ward University, who served as a men,
ber of a committee of three which was
appointed by the then Gov. Fuller in
1927 to pass on the innocence or guilt
of the three men, who we're charged
with Staying a paymaster during a pay
roll hold-up in Braintree.
Mrs. Webster Thayer. wife of the IA
vear-olG justice, was recovering from
shock and cuts at the Memorial Hos
pital She had been trapped in the
wreckage when the bomb exploded. A
maid at the Thayer home, Joan Ashe
was at the City Hospital, unhurt, but
suffering from shock.
Judge Thayer, uninjured, was stay
ing at the home of son nearby.
