having fun in Paris One Of Napoleon's let

SO unlucky to see him return alone.
But you will come back with him, won't
you? You must be here with me- In my arms,

careful. The road is long. bad and tiring."
It didn't work Josephine stayed in Paris.
Presently Napoleon learned that she was i'll.
Whether she was really sick or just pretending
in order to avoid making the long trip-she
did that occasionally-isnt clear; but at any
rate the news drew this letter from Napoleon:
'Your illness fills my mind night and day.
I am without appetite, sleepless, uninterested

"You, you alone matterl The rest Of the
world has no existence for me. If value

These missives would seem to be about all
any woman could ask in the way Of love let
ters. But Josephine did not seem to have
responded very well, as . correspondent. Soon
Napoleon is writing to her as follows:

getting away from wisecracks- -Napoleon's
long absence with the army gave Josephine
little too much opportunity to have fun In
Paris and Josephine wasn't altogether slow
about taking advantage Of it. Napoleon
seems to have learned Of this, and to have
demonstrated with her. His protests seemed
to have been Of little avail, for presently we
find him writing:

MISS STOCKING
QUITS RELIEF

Miss Mary E. Stocking, recently
appointed as supervisor Of work
projects for women under the Dis
trict Emergency Relief, today ten
dered her resignation to District
Commissioner George E. Allen.
Miss Stockings resignation is
the outgrowth of an alteration
between her and Capt. Howard
F.. Clark, chairman of the work
planning committee of the local
Civil Works Administration.
Miss Stockings had interpreted
the wording of her appointment
to mean that she was to be in
charge of all women's work in
connection with the Civil Works
Service, while Captain Clark de-
creed that this authority should
rest with Miss Eloise Topley, who
has been handling it.
After Clark announced his
policy, Miss Stocking appealed to
Commissioner Allen, who ruled
that Clark had final authority in
Civil Works Service projects. Miss
Stocking then resigned. The
Commissioners are expected to
accept the resignation.

Postmaster Mooney today sent
a letter to heads of all Govern

off until after Christmas the mail

The order was not mandatory
but merely a request to expedite
the Christmas rush of first-class

asked Government officials to
put off mailing those pieces of

consider sufficiently important to
rush.
The same request has been

Destitute children are bearing

Six million children are mem

have to leave their homes.
Emergency relief is not suf-

PLANS To FEED
NEEDY PUPILS
TAKE SHAPE
DR.. BaIIou's Proposal to Ask
Federal Agency for Aid Is
Most Favored

Opinion today on the question
of an appropriation from the
Federal Emergency Relief Agency
to serve the 1000 underfed
students in the Districts public
schools, seems to favor the pro-
posal made by DR.. Frank w. Bal
lou, superintendent OF District
public schools.
Leroy A. Halbert, director Of
the District of Columbia Emer-
gency Relief Agency, and George
S. Wilson, director Of the board
of public welfare, who were
named by Commissioner George
S. Allen to formulate plans for
the feeding of the 1000 pupils,
said that they hope to place the
plan in the hands of the Board
of Public Welfare sometime this
week.
Following approval of the plan
by the welfare board, it will then
be submitted to the Federal
Emergency Relief Agency.
The feeding of the children will
come under the supervision of the
Board of Education and the
Health Department, with the
direct assistance of Parent Teacher
Associations.
The amount of money needed
is between $4,000 and $4,000.
School officials hope that the
serving Of the hot meals will be
begun following the turn of the
new year.

Two months ago she hobbled
into the offices Of the District

for a job as music teacher.
With difficulty she ascended
the long flight of steps approach
ing the red brick building in
Thirteenth st. N. w. Perceptibly
nervous, the 23-year-old crippled
girl, unaccustomed to looking for
a job, fumbled with words to ex-
press her thoughts.
AfflictiOn a Ban
She wanted to cry-but she
must be brave now. she told her.
self-for this was chance Of a
lifetime. When she had been
seated a school official said:
"Oh yes, Miss CarricO-MisS
Cathreen CarricO, Of Clinton,
Md, isn't it? You have no
doubt the proper background
for music teacher in the Dis
trict schools. You have splen-
did reports from the Peabody
Conservatory of Music-sevcn
years you studied there, didn't
you? But Miss CarricO, I'm
afraid"
AS automatically as possible
the school official informed the
applicant her affliction would
stand in the way-they could not
hire crippled girl to teach
music.
What Did They Want
Back in Clinton that night
things looked dreary for the
singer and pianist. She was puz-
zled-what, she asked later, did
the Board of Education want
pretty, sturdy legs or knowledge
of music.
Those seven years at Peabody,
the many hours of hard work,
years of self denial and hard
ships-they seemed so fruitlesS
now.
Suddenly there appeared on

that. They wanted a man with
ability, not a track runner, the

and started anew to get some

He said that while the matter

He added:

SOON To SHIFT
BROOKHART
Ex-senator Slated for Export
Agency Post; Seven Others
Also Likely to Go

In the second serious shakeup
within the Agriculture Adjustment
Administration, Smith w. Brook
hart, former Senator from Iowa
and at present the AAA foreign
trade adviser, is expected to leave
his present post and join a new
Federal export agency as chief OF
a Russian trade section.
Seven other AAA higher-ups also
are slated to withdraw during the
next few weeks, as internal war
fare between farm officials con-
tinues in spite of the recent with
drawal of former Administrator
George N. Peek, to head the new
export agency.
Westervelt to Resign
, Brig. Gen. William I. Wester-
velt, chief of the processing and
marketing division and old-time
friend of NRA Administrator
Hugh S. Johnson. is scheduled to
return to his position with a large
Chicago mail-order house.
Also slated to withdraw are
Wayne Taylor and Glenn NC
Hugh, assistants to Peek in the
AAA set-up; Major c. w. Dun
ming, Westervelt's assistant, who
will join the NRA, and James D.
Dole, pineapple king Of Hawaii,
at present head of the food
products section.
Two AAA officials, Ray Miller,
chief of the foreign trade section,
and j. A. Marcus, Russian trade
specialist, are expected to join
Peek in his new export agency.
Victory for Liberals
The changes are regarded as a
victory for the liberal element
in the AAA as it was set up under
Peek. Conflict between the
liberals" and conservatives" was
the original cause of the friction
resulting in Peek's withdrawal,
and at one time, long before Peek
left, it was believed that several
of the men now slated to resign
would walk out in body.
Heading the "liberal" element
were Rexford G. Tugwell, Assist.
