Child Will Read Story
That He Thinks Is Good

"Who shall define interest for an
other person, compounded as it is of
the raw material of which personal
ity is made?" queries a writer in
the Parents Magazine, declaring that
there is apt to be one of two reasons
why a child does not like to read.
Either he has not mastered the tech
nique Of reading to an extent where
no voluntary effort must be eXerted
or else he has not had access in suffi-
cient numbers to books which corro-
spond to his idea of a good story.
Your child will read if he but dis
covers the books particularly right for
his interests and tastes" declares
the writer whose experiences with
children and books has convinced
her that there does not live the
youngster who will not listen to a
good story, and since reading is only
a method of listening to a good story,
will not read If the book is about
something in which he is either ac-
tually or potentially interested; is
written in words and style suitable
to his reading ability; has the de-
gree of advancement suitable to both
his emotional and intellectual age
levels. Those two developments, by
the way, are at entirely different
rates of speed. AS the writer adroit-
ly puts it: Children do the strang-
est juggling and somersaulting as re-
CARDS these ages, going into hand
spring a poised adolescent. coming
up at the end, an emotional eight
year-old."

Patchwork quilts as a rule are
elaborate, cost quite bit and repre-
sent many days Of tedious work.
This work and cost can be cut down
to a minimum as shown in the illus
tration. Any of these designs can be
used on eighteen nine-inch blocks
and so arranged to make a full size
quilt. About three ounces or one
yard of prints is all that is required
for the patchwork. Folder No. 536
in colors illustrates four ways to as
semble these different designs, also cut
out diagrams for six different patches
like the above. Information about
yardage required for back, border
and blocks is also given.
The folder No. $50 and folder No. 0
with other quilting information will
be mailed upon receipt Of 10 cents,
or send us 10 cents and we will send
folder and sufficient beautiful patches
to make up the patchwork on one of
these simple quilts.

beautiful belongings, much as she
cared for the luxuries of life, Corey
Maiden knew that her affection for
him was the handspring Of her
existence now.
And Perilla herself knew her own
heart. She was sure of her love,
sure of her faith, and she was as
happy as it is possible for a girl
to be.
Malden's father was dead, and
his mother, because of incurable
arthritis, was unable to attend the
wedding. So they had planned their
trip to include the Maiden home in
Richmond, and Perilla was as anx-
ious to meet Malden's mother as
he was to present his bride.
The Tenney sisters, nelghbors
and longtime friends of Perilla,
were excitedly asking questions and
making comments.
They made up the list of the
bridal party, and as Mrs. Lowell had
little to do in her part she took
charge. But the young people were
entirely conversant with the tricks
and manners of up-to-date we'd
dings, and after going through the
maneuvers twice, declared they
could do it blindfolded.
The Tenney girls, escorted by
Malcolm and Bob Coles, went home
early, and at Mrs. Eovell's sugges-
ton Perilla and HilLa were at once
sent to bed.

for dinner now, and We'll have the
rehearsal this evening""
So they all went to their vari-
Gus rooms. Maiden, however, did
not appear until Gaskell was ready
to go downstairs.
GO along" Corey said. II was
delayed talking to Mr.. Lowell about
some affairs. You go on, and if I'm
late they'll excuse me-"
"Righto!" And Gaskell hurried
down the stairs.
After dinner Perilla declared the
rehearsal should take place at once.
"Is everybody here that belongs
in the procession?" asked Malcolm.
"All but the Tenney girls" his
sister said. You and Bobby run
over and get them and we'll have
all ready when you get back"
Now, who, for mercy's sake are
the Tenney girls?" exclaimed Tony.
They're my bridesmaids" Perilla
told him. They're darlings, and
they live just up the road a piece"
The great drawing-room was soon
arranged, and under the orders of
Miss Latimer and Mrs. Lowell. all
the necessary furniture was put in
place.
"Perilla is beautiful" said John
Lowell, watching the graceful fig
ure of his stepdaughter as she made
sure things were as she wanted
them.
'"They all are" returned his wife.
81 never saw a lovelier wedding
group. And here are the Tenneys,
quite in the class with the Others"
But Corey Maiden, looking at his
chosen bride, wondered how any
one could see any charm in the
others.
He wondered a little at his mar
velous luck. He was handsome, in
dignified way, had all the cour-
tesies and graces of his southern
breeding, but he was nearly four
teen years older than Perilla, and
years count with a young girl.
But he knew well that his dar-
ling was marrying him because of
her love for him, her dear precious
love that left no room for doubt of
her fealty, loyalty and true SINGER
ity.
To the idea that she was at
tracted by his wealth he gave no
thought. Dearly as Perilla loved

Man of Tongues

The worlds greatest linguist is an
Englishman. He is Sir George Grier-
son, o. NJ, who is eighty-four and
knows 300 languages. His chief in
terest lies in India, where some of
the dialects of the backward commu-
mites have never been written down.
Before he could study these dialects
properly, Sir George had to invent
an alphabet for them, and write
down words which the natives had
often used but never written them
selves.

CAGNEY PLAYS
A OMAN

NEW YORK, April 10 (U.S0.
The greatest force in the battle
against crime-the "G-Men" OF
the U. S. Department of Justice
finally gets a break in the movies!
The Federal sleuths came to New
York in a preview last night.
The expansion of the activities
of the Department of Justice in
the struggle to prevent crime, and
the consequent roundup of Grim
inals all over the nation-when
criminals as public enemies were
treated as such-is portrayed in
this latest Warner Brothers typi-
cal picture of the fight against the
underworld.
The picture, named "G-Men"
for the name applied in fear by
the underworld to Federal agents,
has Jimmy Cagney in a leading
role as the straight lawyer who
joins up with the "G-Men" after
gangsters Kill his pal.
The feature shows, in speedy
action, the use of all modern anti
crime developments, such as the
tracing of bullet-clues by ballistics
experts, the whole array of science
and mental skill and physical cour-
age brought to bear by Uncle Sam
to conquer the tenderloin.
A moving drama that is certain
to gain public support for the Gov
ernment's campaign against Grim
inals, the film depicts parallels of
the Kansas City station massacre
and the cleanup of a Midwest
killer gang.

BY Staf Correspondent Of The Star.
SEAT PLEASANT, Md, January 4.
Fearing the boiler in the District
Line School may explode. parents OF
the pupils staged strike today which
kept all 400 students enrolled in the
school from their classes.
Prior to the Christmas holidays
there had been complaints that the
heating system was not adequate. A
new flue was installed last week, but
when school reopened it was found
there was no check draft in the CHM
ney. Also, according to the parents,
there was no pressure gauge on the
boiler and the father Of one pupil, an
engineer, said he considered the plant
unsafe.
Word of his opinion spread in the
community. This morning group
Of mothers from the Parent Teacher
Association picketed the building and
refused to allow about so pupils to
enter.
Supt. of Schools Nicholas Orem Of
Prince Georges County said he gave
instructions Wednesday to have .
new safety valve, check draft and
pressure gauge installed, but the
school engineer reported that the
janitor refused to let him do the
work while the fires were burning.
School officials arranged to have
the necessary attachments installed
tomorrow. Teachers remained on
duty today, although there were no
pupils to receive instruction.

Street.
NEW WORKERS OFFER
development PLAN
Government, However, Expected
to Go Ahead With Program
Independently.

Government engineers soon will
begin borings on the banks OF the
Anacostia River at the end OF East
Capitol street to secure data for the
foundations of the proposed stadium
there, 1t was announced today by c.
Marshall Finnan, superintendent OF
the National Capital Parks.
Finnan said the branch Of Plans
and Designs of the National Park
Service will Immediately start work on
drawing plans for the new stadium, in
cola aboration with the engineering di-
vision.
Yesterday the special committee
studying the stadium project listened
to Emlen T. Littell, spokesman for a
group Of business men, principally
from New York City, tell about plans
they have had for constructing q sta
dunn in Washington, similar to those
erected in Brooklyn, N. Y, and Ro-
chester. NJ Y. The business group
told Mr.. Finnan and his associates
they had options on three sites here
which were undisclosed, for construc-
ton Of a stadium, which would take
the form Of sports arena on which
they have patents.
Inasmuch as the Federal Govern
ment owns the land at the end Of
East Capitol street little likelihood Is
seen by Finnan of private interests
supervising the erection Of q stadium
there. The New York group had its
engineer, j. Franklin Whitman, to give
general features Of the stadia they
have erected.
Mr.. Finnan said today the New
Yorkers will write TO his committee,
giving estimates Of the cost Of the
stadium and make any other definite
proposals deemed desirable
Secretary Ickes has made available
$50 of Public Works Administra-
ton funds for the preparation Of
stadium plans. Serving with Mr.
Finnan as chairman on the Stadium
Committee are T. c. Vint, chief land
scape architect of the National Park
Service: John Nagle, assistant chief

sioner Of the District; John Nolen, jr.,

BOUNDARY PROBE
SEES 1719 MAP
u. S. Attacks New Piece of
Evidence as "B0ok
Illustration"

A quaint and time-yellowed map
showing the Potomac River region
when Indians roamed what is now the
District Of Columbia-the oldest map
Of this section yet brought to the at
tention Of the Virginia District Of Co.
lumbia Boundary COMMISSIONERS
introduced at today's hearing before
the commission in the Internal Rev.
enue Building.
The map, bearing the date 1719.
contains only three local geographical
names that have survived. They
are "Anacostien," an Indian village,
now known as Anacostia; Turkey
Buzzard Point" now section of South
Washington known to old-timers as
Buzzards Point. and "Potowmeck
Falls" apparently having reference to
Little Falls above Georgetown rather
than to Great Falls, which is believed
to have been undiscovered at that time.
The map was produced at the Eear-
ing by Chairman Charles H. Brough
of the Commission, who said it was
loaned to him by Miss Edith Shall of
this city, who picked it up in a Lon
don antique shop last year while q
student at Oxford University.
Known As Senex Map.
Col. Lawrence Martin, chief Of the
map division Of the Library of Con-
gress, identified the map as one known
to historians as the Senex Map, copy
of which is in the Library Of Congress.
The legend on the document reads:
"a new map Of Virginia. Maryland
and the improved parts of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey; most humbly
inscribed to the Right Honble the
Earl of Orkney Etc, Knight of Ye
Most Noble and Ancient Order of Ye
Thistle. 17l9."
Henry H. Classic. special assistant
to the Attorney General, and one of
counsel for the Government in its
claim that the Virginia District
boundary is the high-water mark on
the Virginia shore, questioned the
value of the map from the stand
point of accuracy. He pointed out
that the map shows only one branch
of the Potomac and leaves out or
QlSIOTIS AAlSiSdl-
ing, he said, that it is lust picture
map not based on any survey.
Other Maps Introduced.
Classic expressed the opinion that
the map was "a book illustration" I"
based on the first known map of the
Chesapeake and Potomac region,
sketched from memory by Capt. John
Smith early in 1000.
Abram P. Staples. attorney general
of Virginia, and Frank L. Ball, at
torney representing Arlington Coun-
ay, introduced in evidence several
other old maps bearing dates subse-
quent to that Of the Senex map. One
map was dated TITS and another
1795. The Virginia representatives
expected to show the commission by
reference to these maps that the
area on the Virginia shore once
known as "Alexanders Island" and
now included in the Washington Air
port property, was not real island,
but swamp land on the Virginia
shore. Virginia is contending that
her jurisdiction extends to the low
water mark and to imaginary lines
drawn from headland to headland on
the Virginia shore. opposite the Dis
trict of Columbia.

approached to attach parking ticket.
Marsh said he asked the officer not
to be too hasty and that when they
went to the Traffic Bureau to post COL

in Winchester, had attempted to stage
an impromptu floor show In the ho-
tel dining room.
First he wanted to talk-then dance

ing him. -
Thaw figured in numerous similar
incidents during the night club era
in New York. &
He was released from Mattewan,
after being incarcerated there as in
sane for some years, following the
