 Aside from adventure and the budding interest in the, regular children's series, we can now in- troduce geography in story form. information about the world and it's people, certain classics (foun- dation books, call them), books on natural history (flowers, birds and animals), those on construc- tion and. general information, and imaginative stories. One thing l would like to em- phasize is not to buy or borrow books over the child's head. True, 1t doesn't hurt upon occasion to make him or her stand on tip-toe and stretch his brain bit. But it is better to give him things he will understand.

SINGLE HOUSE
LEGISLATURE is
AIM OF NORRIS
Nebraska Will Be Testing
Ground for Theory of
Government.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
LINCOLN, Neb.. Feb. 23-His zeal
for governmental reform undimin-
ished by his years Of progressive
battles, Senator George w. Norris
today inaugurated his fight to Gre
ate a unicameral state legislature in
Nebraska.
The plan would scrap the present
bicameral legislature and replace it
with a single body OF from thirty
to fifty members, elected on a non
political ticket for two-year terms.
Each would draw an annual salary
Of s1.65O.
The senator anticipates a hard
fight on the issue.
But it's worth it, he said. Our
people are sufficiently civilized and
educated to know what kind of a
government they want and the kind
Of laws they want enacted. If We
can improve on our laW-making
bOGles and give the people more di-
rect voice in their state government
Why shouldn't We eliminate the
things that are unnecessary and
cumbersome?
The old form of two-house leg
islatures has outlived its purpose.
The bicameral house is cum
bersOme, defeats the will of the
people and is fundamentally and
unnecessarily expensive. It's work
ings produce government by con-
ference committees and these con-
SUitute a third house controlled
by a restricted group.
The new reform, Senator Norris
believes, ranks in Importance with
his successful fight to end lame
duck" sessions Of congress.
1T took ten years Of persistent
fighting to end that archaic abuse
Of democratic government" he said.

HOME
UNDER GUARD

Detectives are guarding the
residence of George N. Everett,
second vice president of the Wood
ward & Lothrop department store,
as result of a threat to blow
up" the house unless Mr.. Everett
complies with an extortion de-
mand for $4,000. Mr.. Everett
lives in the 31OO block of Ellicott
st. N. w.
According to police, Mr.. Everett
was first threatened about three
weeks ago. In a crudely pencilled
note he was asked to pay $4,000,
and was directed to insert notice
in the personal column of a Wash
ington newspaper to show he re"
ceived the note.
He was told to insert the follow
ing item in the personal column:
George, please come home.
Dad needs yOu."
Several days later the following
item appeared in the same
column:
George, all is ready"
Last Monday Mr.. Everett re-
ceived another letter with a more
specific threat to bomb his home
if the demand for money was not
met. While police were at first
inclined to believe the threats the
work of a crank, after Mr.. Everett
received the second letter guard
was placed at the house and has
remained there since.

port started. I have no inten-
tion of going there. I wish
people would let me alone.

having myself, bOthering NO
one, so why can't they give me

MEET JULY.

July % has been set as the

holders and bondholders of the
Mayflower Hotel to discuss what
procedure should be adopted for
taking the hostelry out of re-

Edmund M. Toland, legal repre-
sentative of the hotel, has ex-
pressed the belief that it would
be best to ask Justice Peyton
Gordon of District Supreme Court,
to appoint permanently the pres
ent three receivers as trustees in
bankruptcy, with orders to draw
up reorganization plan. He
believes that the second trust
bondholders, under such a plan,
would benefit more than under
the plan calling for a foreclosure
sale.
Attorneys representing a num-
ber of first-trust bondholders be-
lieve the foreclosure plan would
be to the best advantage of a
large number of the bondholders.

INDICTED
FOR Staying

Joseph D'Alessandra and Sam
uel j. Orlando were indicted on
charges of murder by the Prince
Georges county grand jury late
last night.
A third member of the gang
alleged to have perpetrated the
Bladensburg Tea House Staying in
1881 was also indicted, but au-
thorities refused to divulge his
name, as he has not yet been
arrested. D'Alessandro and Or
lando are now being held in the
Upper Marlboro Jail.
If the health of Chief Judge
w. Mitchell Digges permits, there
will be a full bench of the three
circuit court judges to hear the
tea house trial next week. D'AlS-
sandro and Orlando are expected
to be arraigned today.
Judge Mattingly refused to al
low James A. Gross to commit
legal suicide" when arraigned
yesterday. After hearing his in
dictment read for the murder of
John P. Geary, Priest Bridge gas
station operator, Gross said he
would plead guilty, which would
automatically mean the death
penalty. The court directed, how
ever, that not guilty he entered
until the colored man can have
the aid of legal counsel, who will
probably be named by the court.

|UPPERPOT0MAC
| DAM IS URGED

Representative Jennings Ran.
dolph D) of West Virginia an
nounced today that he has been
in conference with officials of
the Mississippi Valley Committee
seeking construction of two and
a half million dollar storage dam
in the upper Potomac River near
Keyser, w. Va.
Such a project, he asserted,
would be of benefit to the Wash
ington area, and explained:
"The Potomac River at Wash
ingtOn and other places swells
out of its banks at times. Later
it becomes sluggish and at low
tides creates an inSanitary CON-
ditiOn as well as making it.
impossible for even tug boats
or motor launches to operate.
"COnstructiOn of the storage
dam mot only would provide
ample water to operate the
mills and factories along the
rivers banks, but also would
regulate the flow Of water SO
it would be fresh and Of an even
depth at all times. The dam
would prevent OverflOws here
in the spring and stagnant
water in the summer"

Protesting many phases Of the
Governments maintenance of free
medical care, the District Medical
Society last night charged that
wealthy officials of the Federal
Government are taking advantage
of gratuitous hospital facilities
meant to be provided only for the
poorly paid members of the ma
tion's armed forces.
In a report submitted by the So
ciety'S committee on medical eco
nomics, the organization charged
that members of the Cabinet and
Congress and others high in Of
ficial life are among those usurp-
ing hospital facilities.
The society protested the opera
ton of clinics by the Government,
stating that, in so doing, the Fed
eral Government is engaging in a
private practice of medicine. which
is in unfair competition with and
works an undue hardship on the
medical profession.
