The control board has invited

legislation.
Ball0u To Attend

Frank w. Ballou and other Off
Gals of the Board of Education
will attend the meeting and urge
that no licenses be issued near

forbidding children to leave the
school grounds except on their
way to and from school.
Representatives of various citi.

They went up to the noun
tainS-the gaunt, beautiful
Sierras that they loved. Here,
on the shore of the blue Echo
Lakes. they had a cabin. The
lakes were cold and clear as
diamonds. They were set down
there, deep between the vast,
dramatic granite walls. The
dark, lofty spires of the noun
tains pierced the very sky and
shut them in with an isolation
that thundered to the soul.
They climbed the almost per-
pendicular mountain slopes;
they got up at dawn and hiked
over granite trails to remote
fishing pools. They rode a surf
board, taking turns racing the
boat down the lake with the
board bounding until they
spilled into the icy waters.
Chickie Gets Thrill
Said Jon, filled with admira-
ton for his sisters endurance:
"It's amazing the way she's
grown up. Why, mother, she's
almost as beautiful as you are
and the best swimmer in the
State. She must bel"
Chickie, leaning against the
big tamarack shading the porch,
felt her whole life renewed; felt
a great singing peace. The
mountains were so strong. They
were mighty and free.
One day they were all invited
to a barbecue. A strange, lp-
roofing thing happened.
The Southleys were old friends
Of David's. They had a beauti-
full place at Tahoe and every
year gave this gala affair, with
boat races. tennis and swimming
matches.
The young people looked for
ward to the meet and worked
hard for the coveted trophies.
Jon wanted P1ppin to shine.
You enter the distance
swim," he insisted, "and knock
them all for a loop"
He coaxed and argued until
finally she was plunging into
the chilly waters, with Jon fol-
lowing in a boat and hurting in
Structions, which she followed
meekly and blue with cold.
Coming along SWELL" he COM
forted as she climbed, shivering,
to the immense granite shelf
WHICH bordered their inlet.
But why do I have to win?"
you're a natural swimmer
and should develop your gifts"
Jon clipped.
"Oh, I see," Pippin grinned,
with her face pressed against
the rough sleeve Of joins sweater.
"Just another cute trick to keep
me on the straight and narrow.
Okay so far, darling!"
The day Of the barbecue was
bright blue-deliciously warm.
Jon and Pippin left early in
joins new coupe. Chickie was
to follow later with David,
should he arrive in time.
The Washington times., 1934-03-10

Jon was full of last minute
advice which Pippin drank
obediently:
Don't lose your head and,
above all things, don't look back
to watch the others. Just keep
right on going, with your whole
purpose fixed on the goal and
getting there first"
The Southleys' place was on
a woodland slope on the Cali
fornia edge of Lake Tahoe.
Great redwood trees marched in
stately file down the dramatic
green hills to make a majestic
semi-circle about wide sapphire
inlet. The waters were sunny
and came with a gentle rush to
a beach Of cleaning sands.
Young Mermaids
The young people gathered on
the beach. They were 1.-the and
beautiful like slim bronze statues
in their scant. Snugly fitted
suits. They were excited and
their eyes shone.
Pippin, with Jon towering
over her, came swiftly down the
slope. She wore a bright blue
cape. Her hair fluttered. Her
lips were full Of smiles.
"Chickie!" someone said in q
sharp, breathless undertone.
"Why, no! Only her daugh.
teri" Pippin laughed and
looked. teasing, into the eyes Of
a tall, thin man into whom she
had bumped. His face turned
excessively pale. He stared at
Pippin, bowed quickly and
turned. It struck the girl as
interesting and odd.
Her hands tucked in joins
were cold.

SENATE FAVOR

Senate approval of several Dis
trict measures is looked for dur
ing the coming week. Seven bills
are on the calendar and most OF
them are expected to get through
on the next calendar day.
The most important measure
is that designed to give local

bers racket" here. 1t is possible
that some Senator might object
to immediate approval Of this
proposal without time to study
it, although those familiar with
it's purposes have eXpresse
hearty Endorsement.
Another important District pro.
posal that may be stopped by an
objector is that to define, regu"
late and license real estate brok'
ers and statesmen, while a third
is that fixing the qualifications
for practitioners of law in the
city.
Remaining bills on the calendar
which probably will be approved
included those to provide for the
appointment of a commission to
establish the boundary line be-
tween Virginia and the District:
authorizing the Secretary Of the
Interior to make adjustments Of
certain claims of land owners
along the Washington watrfront;
aiding the holders of small life

ing steam railroads to electrify
their lines in the District.

Comedy Of Sex
Overdone and
Dull
By GILBERT SELDES

Note on the back Of q college
diplOma-I didn't intend to start
anything when I printed
q letter from a boy Of 16 ask
ing whether I would advise him
to go to college. didn't, in.
fact, give him a direct answer.
But I received some answers
from readers.
OZZie Nelson writes Of a re-
port that "in the last three
years. out Of the thousands OF
graduates of the leading engi.
neering schools in the country,
not one has landed a decent
position with an important
firm" And he adds that he
would not believe this except
for one thing: that he has
found elevator runners and
house-to-house canvassers who
have masters and bachelors de-
greeS from universities. He says
that his own college degree lis
practically a mark Of indistinc-
ton"
Mr.. Nelson wanted to be a
lawyer and, as a matter OF fact,
took his bar exams-but that
was only after he had become
an orchestra leader He has
several Of his classmates in his
band.
Getting an A.
On the other hand, Jerome
A. Frant decided, when he grad
uated from high school at the
age of IS, that he probably
would never get a job as a
lawyer, a doctor or a police
man, but he went to college
anyway. II chose subjects that
required deep concentration
and studying, such as analyt-
ical geometry and other ad'
Vanced courses"
Mr.. Frant says that if you
skipped your homework o1e
day in these courses you prob
ably would miss your chance
for an A. And he Goes not
regret his decision.
On the whole, there is a
great deal to be said FOR Mr.,
Frant's point Of view: L ne
gets a dull job he will always
have the consolation of mathe.
matics, which Bertrand Russell
ranks among the highest pleas
ures of life. And if he gets

it won't hurt to have known
something which does not !eao

faction.
Note on an operate program
For several weeks I have oeen
worrying over serious threat to
the happiness of American lie
uttered by Otto H. Kahn. Mr..
Kahn is not sure that opera
sponsored by the Federal Gov
ernment would work, but he is
sure that there is potential
grand opera star in almost every
home in America"
I think that this comes under
the head Of giving aid and COM
fort to the enemy. On the other
hand, I admire Mr.. Kahn's
courage. He of all people ought
to know how many requests for
additions would come as the re-
suit of his statement.
I wish that we could develop
in America either a new form
of opera which Americans would
naturally take to their hearts
or a new respect for the kind
of things which we do spon-
.taneously-good song and dance
shows. hope that the School for
American Ballet, which started
out auspiciously this winter, will
make a humping success. I
think that we have sense in our
feet. We certainly haven't too
much in our heads.
