ST. PAUL, MINI. August %
Police authorities believed today
George Baby Face" Nelson may be
moving in" to terrorize the North
west States, long the stamping grounds
OF his late chief. John Dillinger.
Their conclusion was based on the
belief that Nelson, now known as the
Nations No. public enemy. had
surrounded himself with picked
gang of criminals to prey on society
AS evidence of the organized gang,
authorities point to a report that
Homer Van Meter, Dillinger lieuten-
ant, met his death from police bull
lets here last Thursday as the result
of a tip by his own associates, who
feared Van Meters associations with
women would endanger plans for new
raids.
The report said Nelson and his
gang had planned sensational series
of raids on Northern Minnesota banks
Nelson was recently reported seen
"eyeing up" bank at Virginia, MINI.
Others reported connected with
Baby Face" include Alvin Karpis and
Fred Barker, sought in connection
with the 100000 kidnapping of Ed
ward G. Bremen, st. Paul banker, and

SURVEY FINDS PARENTS GUILTY
FOR BABY'S BAD NAP HABITS

there had been less total sleep the pre-
ceding day.
The children were studied without
their knowledge. They took their maps
on cots in separate cubicles after hav-
ing had lunch at the school. The OBJ
server was invisible to the children be-
cause of the one-way vision screen IN
front of her.
Each child was given the same cot
placed in the same position each day.
When a child sat up in bed or made
disturbing noises he was told by the
adult in charge to lie down and be
quiet, but no particular attention was
paid to any unwillingness to take the
nap. If this did not suffice the child
was gently but firmly forced to lie
down again The principal object was
to encourage the child to be independ
ent of adult supervision.

ITHACA, N. Y, August 30 - With
proper guidance young children can
acquire good sleeping habits, the Cor
nell University nursery school has
found after an intensive study of the
sleeping habits of eight youngsters en-
rolled there the past year.
Good nap-taking habits are often not
common among younger children, who
make many unnecessary movements
before dropping off to sleep, but these
faults may be overcome with proper
training.
The survey revealed that there was
d. tendency for children to go to sleep
more quickly during cold weather, on

Senator Huey Long was not "socked"
at the Sands Point Bath and Country

The newspaper attributes the Incl

composer and producer, as giving "the

The newspaper quotes Buck as say

That Senator Long was his guest at

That Senator Long didn't get a

A further reduction in fuel al

For the first time in the his

cars last year wer erestricted to

Gently a special rules committee
of the contest board of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association decided
to further restrict fuel by two and
one-half gallons, allowing drivers a
total of forty-two and one-half GAL
Ions for the run.
The committee decided to make
an undetermined exception of two
cycle gasoline burning motors, ap-
pointing a special committee to in
veStigate the matter and make
recommendations.
A change also was made in the
qualifying requirements for Diesel
oil-burning racers, two Of which
we're entered last year. 1t was de-
cided to give the oil-burners a five
mile an hour advantage over the
gasoline powered motors.
Only the thirty-three fastest cars
are allowed to start and the Diesels
will add five miles an hour to what
ever speed they made in a twenty
five-mile qualifying run and take
their chances of starting with the
other competitors. Last year they
were given a starting position re-
gardless of speed of the other cars,

THE "Sales Exhibition" Of paintings,
drawings and prints by p. w. A. p.
artists from District 4, embracing the
District of Columbia, Maryland and
Virginia, is now on in the Corcoran
Gallery of Art. Many more works were
sent in than could be displayed, so
arrangements were made to hold a
number in reserve to be shown to those
who were interested and to potential
purchasers. These artists, the ma
jority of whom were little known and
inexperienced, were employed for
about four months during the early
part of the year under the Public
Works of Art Project and when this
appropriation ran out were left where
they were found, except that they had
had opportunity to demonstrate
ability. 1t is with the hope that the
public will now rally to their support
through further employment that this
exhibition is held. Obviously, under
these conditions, criticism Is out OF
place. Appeal has been made to the
public and with the public the matter
rests. No work of art should be pur-
chased except for the reason that it
is admired, desired. No artist, deserv-
ing the name, would wish his or her
work purchased otherwise. Art Is
above charity or even philanthropy
We can nurture it, encourage it. sup
port it, but we cannot produce 1t, save
through the gift Of the artist. We must
prize but not pauperize. Undoubtedly
the best way to encourage Is by dis
eliminating choice, by acquiring that
which seems to us fine. Thus and thus
only will art flourish and high stand
ards be maintained. This exhibition,
which will continue throughout No
vember, calls for serious consideration.
