and the precise arrangement which is
essential There are boxes of all sizes

Senate.
Bachelor Congressman Wed with
fathers and grandfathers there in de-
nunciationS.
The gray-haired, 66-year-old George
Seger OF New Jersey, a father and a
grandfather, was the first member of
the House to call attention to the kid
naping OF the Lindbergh child Cheers
greeted his statement that the Presi-
dent had taken a hand in efforts to
apprehend the kidnapers. And there
was deafening applause when he de-
manded that Congress see that such a
thing never happens again.
Probably the most excited and wrought
up of any in the House was one of the
foremost congressional bachelors-Hat-
ton summers OF Texas, chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, and the man who
will guide through the House any legis-
lation aimed at abductors.
Summers usually is calm and collected
when he gets on the floor to make
speech. Trained in law, he prefers the
cool, logical method Of discussing a
subject.
But for five minutes Summers INDUCED
himself in one of the most impassioned
denunciations that the House has heard
in many a day. He paced to and fro
in the we'll OF the House shouting at the
top of his voice. His face was red, his
arms were both swinging wildly.
Another gentleman. generally consid-
cred as being hard-boiled, added his
voice TO the others. He even went so
far as to demand the death penalty for
any person who would threaten another
even by means of letter
All Of which was ample proof to those
who saw that the kidnapping of this
child-it might well have been another
was uppermost in the hearts of that
group of men. 1t was a manifestation
of that feeling common to man.
Perhaps it is safe to predict that there
will be enacted by that same group leg
islation designed to end the sort of thing
they so vehemently denounced.
There are bills pending now. Cochran
Of Missouri has a bill providing the
death penalty for one who kidnaps and
transports another interstate A second
bill, already reported favorably out of
committee, levies heavy fines on a per-
son who uses the mails to threaten

you may have a green and blue, OF
a red and blue, or yellow and black

simple because you have such nice plain
walls. First we will give them a coat OF
washable paint. I suggest white or a
shade just of dead white.
Then we will enamel the woodwork
Choose a plain color, not too light. Let
1t have plenty of character but dom t
make 1t strident in color. For instance
II you want a red and white room, you
will enamel the woodwork red, but don't
make 1t crimson or scarlet Choose
rather shade like tomato red.
Then with paint We will plaid the
walls. BY using a stout string and
stretching it faulty we will have guide
for the diagonal lines Of your plaid
Have some Of the lines broader than
others. Don't try to get a mathemati-
cally correct design. Of course, the
lines must be straight and parallel, but
they may be put on irregularly My
painter can do-it easily in a few hours.

We don't want that.
We have to teach a child to stand
up to life, not to retreat from it. We
want him to fight against weakness,
illness and retreat Then we certainly
do not want him to get to making bed
a refuge. He is to stay out OF bed ex-
cept when he needs to rest or to sleep
or recover from illness.
