COMPLETE EXECUTIVE
 AUTHORITY REQUEST
Asks Legislators for Tax Plan to Underwrite
 Entire Project

WASHINGTON, May 18.-Presi- dent Roosevelt, late yesterday aft ernoon sent his all-inclusive pub- lie works and industrial supervision program to Congress requesting full Executive authority to inaugurate three billion dollar public con- struction program.
 The President asked the legis- lators to decide before early next week on new taxes to underwrite the project or he would submit his own recommendation for levies.
 The President also asked for au- thority to reduce or eliminate new taxes should Prohibition Repeal be- come effective, or increasing reve- nues would make them unneces- sary.
 President Roosevelt said the pur- pose of the program was to ob- tain wide unemployment, shorten the work week, pay decent wages for the shorter week, prevent un- fair competition and dis astrous overproduction.

CONGRESS GETS BUSY


 WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Damo- cratic leaders moved quickly to- day to take the Presidents new vast employment program over the first hurdle and provide new taxes. Demands for revision of some parts of the legislation is made.
 Chairman Doughton called the House Ways and Means Commit tee to session for the opening of hearings for finding suitable form of taxes for financing the proposed three billion bond issue within a week.
 To Rush Measure
 Chairman Doughton hopes to have the all-inclusive measure, ty- ing industrial regulation and the huge public construction program together in concerted drive against unemployment, ready for House action next week.

 Members of the Committee said they may finally decide on manu- lecturers sales levy of about 1h percent as a compromise.

Like Topsy, children will "just
grow" whether we do very much
about it or not, but their growth
follows certain well-defined pat
terms.
Children, of course, are not adults
in miniature, but human beings very
differently built. For example, ba-
bies' heads are fully one-fourth of
their entire bodies. The child
grows from the head downward;
first his trunk lengthens out and
his arms, then the lower part of
his body. The baby at birth has
more bones than he will have at
maturity; as he grows some new
bones are added and many are be-
ing fused together. The young
child's bones are more soft and plja-

til, at adulthood, they make up
about two-ffths of persons total
weight.
"Why," asks a mother, eff nature
has set the patterns Of my child's
growth, do q need to know about
it?" A child may be fidgety and
restless at the table. When we
search for a reason, we find that
he is sitting on a chair planned for
adult use. It is so high that his
feet bangle without touching the
floor, yet so low that his shoulders
and arms barely come above the
top of the table. Our criticism of
his manner of holding a fork will
also be less sharp when we realize
the difficulty Of making fine muscle
adjustments with very limited prac-
tice.
The early years of a child's life
are the ones in which he grows
most rapidly; middle childhood,
from six or seven to ten year, is
time of relatively slow growth.
Later childhood and adolescence is
another period of more growth and
maturation. Children have been
found to grow fastest in the late
spring and early summer; this is
probably due to the abundance of
sunshine and fresh fruits and vege-
tables they get at this season.
Somewhere in later childhood or
early adolescence some children
slip into "the awkward age" Coup
led with the fact that the child is
growing, for the moment, disprop-
ortionately; that his hands, full
grown, bangle from long, thin
arms, and that his nose is growing
more rapidly than the rest of his
face, is the fact that the adolescent
is newly conscious of himself as an
entity, and painfully sensitive over
his supposed awkwardness or home
Illness. We're apt to belittle the ag-
onies the adolescent goes through
at this stage because they seem so
silly to us and because we know
that he is going to outgrow them.
But the youngster may feel quite
hopeless; he believes that he is al
ways going to be thin and awlk-
ward.
Seeing that the older child's cloth
ing is always amply large, that
sleeves and trouser legs are long
enough Ga problem when the child
is growing fast) and that his cloth
ing is attractive, lessons the young
sters problems greatly. Tactfully
helping him over the awkward age
by not calling attention to his
clumsiness, helps, too. one lanky
boy of sixteen was so conscious of
his really large hands that he re-
fused to enter a room in which
there were guests

WILES OF WOMEN

habits of painting, penciling dyeing and the like, it
must be admitted that while the effects obtained

that art is brought to the aid of with the

CHOOSING BOOKS

The toddler who loves to hear
stories about himself widen his
horizon as he grows bit older and
becomes interested in stories about
animals which have the same
thoughts and feelings as himself. At
this stage we introduce Peter Rab-
bit and Jemima Puddleduck, The
Elephants Child from Just So Stor-
les and The Three Pigs and Johnny
Crow. The Three Billy Goats Gruff
is a nursery school favorite because
it can be dramatized so effectively.
From an interest in himself, the
child progresses to an interest in
the people and things about him
and then to an interest in far-off
lands and people. Then he is ready
for Little Black Sambo, The Dutch
Twins, The Story of Mowgli from
The Jungle Book, and Flora j..
Cookies Nature Myths and Stories.
Humor has a fine influence on
the child and mustn't be belittled,
besides amusing, humorous stories
set up habits of cheerful adoption.
The humer of Kipling's "Just So"
stories is not lost on a bright four
or five-year-old; Alice in Wonder
land will often appeal at five or six.
The Jovial foolishness of Edward
Lear's Book of Nonsense, Mother
Goose Rhymes, the sly cleverness
of Valery Carrik's animal pictures,
all have big place in the child's
genuine enjoyment in reading.
The interests of boys and girls
begin to diverge at about nine
years of age, the boys turning more
to adventure stories, the girls to
romance. It is, however, almost
impossible to list books suitable for
different ages because children diff
fer so tremendously in their read
ing. At the age of nine or ten
when the average child is begin
ming to read full-length books, the
unusually bright child is doing the
reading of the usual fourteen-year-
old. A study of the individual
child, his progress in reading and
his interests-only these can tell
us what books to buy for him at
various ages. The following list is
therefore classified by subject mat
ter:
The pictures help to tell the story
for children under five. It is i'm
portant that the very child's books

PLANTING GLADIOLUS

PLANTING GLADlOLUS
The gladiolus are propagated by
three ways, by multiplication of
the large bulbs, by the tiny bullets
that are found around the base Of
bulbs when digging, and by saving
seed that sometimes develops on
tops of spikes. Bulbs and bullets
always come true to the original,
but seed does not. Glads do not
mix by growing near other variet-
les.
Planting may begin now, and in
any good garden soil, where they
will have plenty of sunshine. The
vegetable garden is also a good
place, or grow under same condi-
tons as vegetables. May be plant
ed from early April to June list.
For succession Of flowers plant a
few every two weeks.
They generally bloom in ninety
days, depending on variety, vigor,
soil and other conditions.
Mass in beds or plant in rows,
and set the bulbs, four to eight in
ches apart. If in rows, set double
or triple rows. Five inches is not
too deep depth to plant them in,
simply dig a trench, place the
bulbs, cover trench and the job is
done. Small bulbs are covered
about three inches.
The new bulb is formed on top of
the original bulb, and if planted
too shallow, the wind will easily
blow them down. Deep planting
is better than stalking. Hulling
around plants also prevents blow
ing over. Cultivation between rows
is necessary for best results. Ere
quent watering is good, but good
cultivation will take the place of
water to an extent.
Glads make very satisfactory cut
flowers Cut stem so as to leave
four or five leaves on stem remain
ing, so that the bulb will mature
properly. Plants should be cult
waited and watered after flowers
have been cut, so that the bulbs
and bulblets will continue to grow.
After frost in fall, dig the bulbs,
cutting off stem close to bulb. Do
not expose bulbs to hot sun or
frost. Let them dry day or so
outside If weather permits. Store
in shallow boxes, or porous bags,
such as burlap ones hung up will
do. Store in cellar or any place
where they will not freeze or get
