"HESE were anxious. days and
happy nights for Mrs. Peter
Rabbit. You see, during the
i daytime she did not dare stay
with her babies lest she be
seen and her precious secret discov-

Peter, knew of those babies. So in

jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun kept

them and in the joy of mother love

of her time, especially during the day,
well back under the brambles. And
then one morning something hap
pened that made Peter think that
Mrs. Peter must be crazy.
He was sitting beside Mrs. Peter in
her now favorite place at the very
edge of the Briar patch, where she
could look out over the Green Mead

looked intently in a certain direction.

Possibility for Perfect Dog g-Day Wardrobe
Midsummer Spectator Frock
Has All Required Points

HE women who get the most
out of smart fashions never

The ones who pride themselves
on their good management will per-
hapS tell you they spend hours OF
& time planning their purchases and
, that never, no, never, will they make
half hearted selections, merely to
v please a jealous and coercive sales
person. Strength of purpose, there
fore, is one of the first requirements
necessary in the pursuit OF a worth
while wardrobe.
The spectator sports frock shown in
the illustration is one that all the
smart style sleuths are casting inter-
ested eyes upon as the possible per-
feet choice for their dog-day ward
robe. 1t has all the required points to
keep them cool and contented when
the barometer scars.
The collar is suitably low; and the
dropped shoulder is as popular as ever.
If not more so. There are no pleats
in the skirt, only flares, so that the
entire effect is appropriate for every
sporting event known to come in
Summer.

Finnan said further that the ban

it is necessary to assign a special

Swimming is banned in Rock Greek
because of the pollution of the water
Wading is allowed in prescribed
places, although other stretches of the

wading or swimming there are liable
to step off to their death.

Data Developed by Justice
Department to Be Given
Walsh Committee.

The Senate Labor Committee will
have the cooperation of the Justice
Department in its inquiry into the
alleged kick-back and other wage
complaints on public building projects,
according to Chairman Walsh.
The Senator conferred with Justice
officials before the inquiry started, and
he said today any data developed by
the committee will be made avail
able to the department.
Hearings have been recessed for the
next two or three weeks. Meanwhile,
officials of Government departments
will be studying the question of what
effect the recent suspension of the
Bacon-Davis prevailing wage law will
have on wage requirements for those
projects carried on under specific
appropriations from Congress.
The prevailing wage law was sus-
pended in order to avoid confusion
between that law and the wage re-
quirements under the construction
code under the industrial recovery act.
No doubt exists as to the wage provi-
sionS that will govern P. w. A. prof.
ects. but the committee was told the
Treasury Department is somewhat in
doubt as to what the requirements
will be on projects provided for by
specified appropriations as distin-
tinguished from public works funds.
During last weeks hearings the
committee received records from the
Public Works Administration and
from the Veterans Administration re-
garding wage complaints on Govern
ment projects in various parts of the
country, but definite plans have not
been made for committee hearings
outside of Washington.

Then, when an innocent student

ascertains who the unfortunate is and

his authority and uses it as a bludgeor
to push the innocent victim on down

smears her character. And these are

all intents and purposes stolen, or
used as a political jack pot.
This huge sum-" he continued
would build 10000 miles of hard

it would purchase 100000, 900 gal

concentrate on the securing of con-

dastardly method of robbing the car
owners of the United States"
Accidents Stir Roosevelt.
In letter to the conference today.
President Roosevelt expressed deep
concern over the toll of deaths. in
juries and heavy property damage
caused by highway accidents" The
President wrote:
Il am deeply concerned over the
staggering toll Of deaths. injuries and
heavy property damage caused by
highway accidents. We cannot longer
afford to temporize with this prob
lem. Those who use the highways
must realize the responsibility they
assume when they take the wheel
Safer conditions for travel un-
doubtedly would contribute to great
er use of the highways, now that
shorter working hours and more
leisure time is assured by the national
recovery program.
Extends Good Wishes.
"It is to such organizations as the
American Automobile Association that
we look for leadership in the continu-
ing effort to work out solution of
the accident problem. You are to be

In the keynote address Henry as
sailed the activities of roadside courts
operating under the fee system and
preying en- motorists. He deplored the
lack of community and national plan
ming to check the rising curve of high

On the optimistic side, however, he
cited increased travel at home and
abroad and the splendid results being
achieved in promoting child safety
through school patrols and safety les
sons and posters. He estimated tour
