Robin s Red Breast

IN THE great painting day in the far
~ Northland when all the birds were deco
rated the robin became a brown bird, but he
received his red breast in this way. He was
the devoted friend of little boy and his father,
who were kind to him. During the long Arctic
nights it is difficult to keep the fires burning,
and it is equally difficult to stay awake to tend
them.
One night both the lad and his father fell
asleep and their fire burned down to tiny
embers They were fast growing stiff from the
cold, when the robin, tapping his good
morning" outside the hut what had hap
pened. He hoped inside and dragged to-
gether the scattered twigs. He finally
ceeded in rebuilding the flame, and his human
friends stirred and woke when they felt the
heat of the fire.
But the poor little robin had made the
feathers of his breast so red and hot that they
were Scorched deep reddish color, and ever
since he has worn red breast.

Catholics Being Singled Out for Targets By the
 Government

Mexico City, Oct 25.-UP)- Agitation over the specialization" of Mexican schools subsided to- day, but the government and states continued their oppressive meas ures against the Catholic clergy. The Chihuahua state government cancelled the licenses of all priests, ordered the closing of all Catholic churches and placed the buildings at the disposal of the state and federal governments. Churches were closed in several other states and many priests had been ban ished or were in hiding.

 In Mexico City, the university and all schools were operating nor mally and the situation was quiet. Plutarco Elias Gales, still domin- ant in politics despite his retire. ment, conferred with members of the senate and approved all re- cent actions against the churches and schools. He warned the law makers to "be careful" to see that justice was done.
 A bill was introduced in the chamber of deputies to-day called the public salvation lawy which would bar from the civil service any member of a religious order. Civil service employees and their relatives must not attend religious service," the law reads. Those guilty must be dismissed immedi- ately from the service" The bill gives the president the right tn close any newspaper supporting a religious creed. It was sent to com mittee.

 She made this emphatically clear in a three-hour visit with Supreme Court Justice John F. Carew, who is presiding over the trial of Mrs Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt's suit to regain custody of the 10-year- old child from Mrs Whitney, her sister in-law. Justice Carew previously had said the child's preference would have considerable weight in his decision.
 Gloria's visit was unheralded and attended by much secrecy.
 Gloria sat on a leather backed swivel chair next to Justice Carew. She swung her thin, frail legs and rocked in the chair as she told about the days she spent with her mother in London and Paris. There wasn't much she remembered of those places except that she had no one to play with except her nurse. Nurse didn't know many games.
 She did remember vividly the last two years-the years she has lived with Mrs Whitney at Old Westbury, l.. I. Not only did she have cousins of her own age to play with but pony. And she talk ed enthusiastically of school. She

BANK COMMENT
 WASFAVORABLE
Bankers Seem Very We'll Pleased at Statements
 of President

Washington, Oct 25.-(UP)- Responsible banking comment for the most part praised President Roosevelt's address to the Ameri- can Bankers association.
 Criticism was directed by some at the fact the president had not further placed on record the inten- ton of the government concerning certain financial policies.

 "Out of the suggestions made by the president and by Jackson Rey- noids," he said, there can and should be worked out a sound pro- gram of far reaching cooperation between the government, the banks and other groups mentioned by the president-the kind of a program that would be a real contribution to the cause of recovery.
 T expect the country to profit from our meeting and am confi- dent the banks stand ready to do heir full part"
 Eugene Meyer, governor of the Federal Reserve under President Hoover, and now publisher of the Washington Post declared in a signed front page staetment that:
 The president .. has laid a foundation for better relations that promises we'll for the recovery program. He left no doubt in the minds of his listeners that it is the administrations plan to work CO., operatively with, rather than in the spirit of hostility to, that vital element.
