Miss Catharine R. Watkins, for SO
years director of kindergartens in the
Washington public schools, retired to-
day.
A few days ago, making her final
tour Of the kindergartens, she entered
q class room where the children were
in the midst of their performance OF
THE Three Bears"
A small girl, anxious to put the vis-
itor at her ease, came up to her and
asked, gravely: Miss Watkins, have
you ever heard the story of the three
bears?"
Just as gravely, she admitted that
she had. There are doubtless thou
sands of men and women in Washing
ton today with grown children of their
own who got their first information
about the three bears from Miss
Watkins.
Enthusiasm Sustained.
But if she ever has tired of the three
bears or of the other classic heroes
dear to the hearts of little children,
she has never, in the opinion of her
associates, shown any signs of it. The
teachers say that Miss Watkins viewed
the beginning of every kindergarten
year as the start of new adventure
her own keen interest transmitting it
self in the form of fresh enthusiasm
to her corps of teachers.
She was the first director OF kin
dergartens in Washington, having
been invited to take this new position
by the late A. T. Stewart, who was
superintendent Of schools in 1898. The
kindergarten idea was rather new,
then. not only in Washington, but in
the United States. Miss Watkins was
one of the pioneers in movement
which has grown throughout the coun-
try and which has given kindergartens
a recognized status in relationship to
primary education and child develop

CANBERRA, U.P) The depres-

According to official sources.
both economic conditions and en-

With the lowering of the tenn
porary barriers that had been
raised, all aliens who desire to
enter the island for permanent
residence will be permitted to do
so when the necessary permit Is
obtained.
Under the classifications gov
erning the latter, preference will
be accorded dependent relatives

NEW DEVICE
AT UNIVERSITY
TESTS WINDS

NORMAN, Okla. (U.P)-University
of Oklahoma engineering students
will have a chance this school
year to find out things about a
250-mile-an-hour wind.
A new tunnel, 85 feet in length,
is nearing completion on the cam
pus. A 400-horsepower engine, us
ing natural gas as fuel, will
drive the wind through the steel
tunnel so research workers at the
other end can find out what hap
pens under certain conditions.
WPA technicians constructed
the tunnel at a cost of $4,000.
1t was designed primarily for re-
search in aeronautics.
1t will be used in testing wind
resistance of airplanes, automo-
biles, trains and boats, according
to Joseph Liston. associate pro-.
feSsor of mechanical engineering.
Addition Of the tunnel to the
schools facilities will enable it to
offer new courses in airplane test
ing and aerodynamics research.

Anthony Adverse Wins
Hiqh Praise Of Critics

asked by valleyites who will have a
one-day opportunity to see the pic
ture which has been acclaimed in
metropolitan centers as the greatest
movie accomplishment on record.
Despite the weekend holiday,
Herb Norris, manager of the United
Artists theatre where the picture
will show Tuesday in one afternoon
and one evening performance, re-
ported reservations continued to
pour into the box office. He has
arranged special facilities to handle
the expected rush Tuesday.
According to the voluminous press
clippings from large cities where
the picture has shown, whoever
fails to see it will miss the big
event of a lifetime. Readers of the
book know it was filled with ro-
nance, action, adventure, travel,
history-everything that anyone
could ask.
So huge was the task of filming
the action of the 1900 page book,
that Warner Bros, the producers,
are said to have spared neither time,
effort nor cost In fact more than
two years were spent in preparing
the script, in research work to make
perfect the atmospheric settings,
and in the actual filming of the
many and intricate scenes.
There never has been cast to
approach this one in size, and few
that will equal it in talent. There
are 98 principals with speaking
parts. 1850 bit players and extras,
and nearly 5000 artisans and tech
nicians worked behind the cameras
to make the picture letter perfect.
More than 1000 scenes were shot"
for the production en- 131 mammoth
sets.
The colorful and picturesque
backgrounds are set in five coun-
tries on three continents. The
scenes open in France, in the beau
tiful countryside and great cha
teau, sweep through the Swiss and
Italian Alps to the quaint city OF
Leghorn, Italy, then to Havana,
Cuba, on to Africa and the great
slavemarts of other days, back to
Italy and again to France to the
court of Napoleon Bonaparte.
The presentation of portions OF
two operas adds to the magnificence
of the production. Number one was
written especially for the picture by
Aldo Franchetti, former conductor
of the Chicago Opera Company.
The second is the famous 'L'Orfeo,"
and is produced on a mammoth
scale in a replica of the Theatre de
La Opera of Paris.

LIVESTOCK
PRICES TAKE
MOVE UPWARD

Higher livestock price levels were
primarily responsible for S75,OO0,-
900 increase in business of farmers
cooperative livestock marketing as
sociations during the 1885 mar
keting season compared to the 1884
35 season. according to a statement
released today by the Cooperative
Division of the Farm Credit ad-
miniStration. ..-f
Six hundred thousand farmers
and stockmen marketed livestock
through cooperative associations
during the recent season valued at
$3.50 100000 compared to SITE, 100000
in the 1934-35 season.
The largest of the cooperative
terminal market sales agencies
handled more than one million ami
mails for its farmer patrons during
1885 and another agency handled
more than 100000 animals. The as
sociation handling more than mil
lion animals reported gross sales
in excess of $26,000,000.
More than one-half of the farm
ers marketing their livestock
through cooperatives are in the five
states of Minnesota, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Iowa, and Ohio.
From a dollar-and cents stand
point Illinois made the best show
ing of all the states. Its ITO aSso-
Citations with 100000 patrons sold
animals valued at S60,000,00O. Much
of the credit for this business is
due to seven large-scale coopera-
tives located Within the state. Many
of the animals handled by terminal
market cooperatives came from
points without the state.
Minnesota's 235 local associations
with 10000 patrons reported sales
amounting to $28,000,000.
Most of the large-scale associa-
tions are cooperative sales agencies
located at the larger livestock ter
minal markets such as Chicago,
East st. Louis, South st. Paul,
Omaha, Kansas City, st. Joseph,
Sioux City, Detroit, Indianapolis

IN a flreslde chat delivered IL
hours after his return 20 the White
House from a 5000-mile drought
inspection tour. the President pro
posed an alternative economic
democracy in which all can profit"
He said it was not labor but those
"shortsighted ones" who would re-
fuse workers their just dues who
point this nation toward a class
conscious society.
He called again on private indus
try to absorb more of the unem-
ployed and announced ALLEGATION of
$2,500 900 to enable the federal-state
employment service to search more
widely and thoroughly for private
industrial jobs in which unem-
ployed persons may be placed.
The speech rang with a defense
of government spending and a
pledge of adequate protection Of
agriculture, sufferers in the vast
drought area md continuation Of
relief jobs where necessary.
The average man." Mr.. Roose-
velt said, must have that twofold
opportunity protection and a liv-
ing wage. if we are TO avoid the
growth of a class conscious society
in this country"
Then he added:
There are those who fail to read
both the signs of the times and Am
erican history. They would try to
refuse the worker any effective pow
er to bargain collectively. to earn a
decent livelihood and to acquire Sc
curity.
1T is those shortsighted ones, not
labor, who threaten this country
with that class dissension which in
other countries has led to dictator
ship and the establishment OF fear
and hatred as the dominant emo
tions of human life.
Seated before a microphone in
the lower room Of the executive
mansion. the President delivered
one of the longest addresses he has
made in months as he summarized
his findings in the drought regions.
He declared that the farmers of
America want a sound national ag-
ricultural policy" promised them
continued federal help in solving
their problems and then swung into
a review of the labor picture from
the national viewpoint.
He drew bright word picture of
industrial unemployment but de
clared that government spending
was responsible in large part for
keeping industry going and putting
it into a position to make re-em-
ployment possible.
