j Her frightened eyes scanned the

She looked so distracted that
Donald's first smiling, Entertain

changed to alarm. "Gene! Who's
Gene? What the devil are you 80

corners, pauSing to pick up the

Christie was looking into the
living room at Donald and the
baby, as she poured the coffee.
Poured it over the edge Of the
cup, over her left hand.
The cup crashed to the floor,
the coffee pot clattered to the
stove, and lay on its side, Spat-
tering the scalding liquid on her
dress, her ankles, her shoes.
What happened?"
'Nothing-only I burnt myself.
Poured coffee over my hand. IT'S
beginning to hurt-quite q lot"
| He laid the Still screaming
child on the sofa, ran to help her.
It's nothing. It's just that I'm
so nervous. Donny! You stop
J. that noise; and my hand hurts
!, So-it hurts sol"
Some Of the fiery pain was
gone when he had dressed it, but
she sank into . diseonsolate heap
on q kitchen chair, and wept.
When he knelt beside her, try
ing to comfort her. she sobbed,

Poor Christie poor, hurt little
kid. Everything went wrong,
didn't It? Don't you want to tell
me?" :
He waited patiently. 4:
In the other room the baby's
shrieks were turning into sobS,

Proposed Law to Mobilize
Industry in War Time

MYTH the approval of Secretary
w Of War Woodring and Secretary
Of the Navy Swanson a bill has been
drafted for the mobilization of in
dustry in war time. It would confer
upon the President power to draft
industrial management, comman-
deer manufacturing plants, fix
prices, ration the distribution of
commodities, and regulate or close
exchanges.
This plan Is a revision Of the pro-
gram for industrial mobilization sub
mitted by the War department, to
the wal policies commission in 1881.
It does not take into consideration
the tax bill to '''take the profits out
Of war" which was put through the
house last session, but it is recon-
mended by the War and Navy
departments that tax provisions be
not so drastic as to "hinder, hamper
or, destroy the more important mis-
sion Of producing munitions as re-
CURED in war"

"A analysis given out by the bureau

Japan professed to believe that

Russia, and officials in Tokyo said
forceful steps by Japan might be
necessary. The naval command di-

that Marshal Changes troops had

The soviet news agency lass in
Moscow issued an official denial Of
reports that Russia had conspired
in the Chinese crisis, but diplomats
in the Far East were of opinion
that Moscow would intervene If war
should break out between China and
Japan. Japanese action would be
based on the reported setting up Of
an independent government at ST.

support of soviet Russia.

Promised BY Wallace

Promised by Wallace
M EMBERS Of the American
4vA Farm Bureau federation. as
sembled in Pasadena, Calf. were
told by Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace that the government would
provide a better farm program than
the AAA; but he also said the
farmer must be willing to accept
'ssmall increases in the imports OF
certain agricultural products"
SIN the cause OF peace" be said,
''the farmers Of the United States
must learn to say yes n often as
possible to agricultural imports
from Pan-America, while at the
same time reserving the right TO
say mo- when any vital branch OF

Presidents Son Probably
Will Be His Secretary

1T IS believed that James Roose-

who has been with him on the South
American tour, will serve as n of
his fathers secretaries and his gen.
eral aid, without salary and maybe
without title.
The President is said to feel he
must have at his side some one who
knows him intimately and who can
perform many of the confidential
little errands which were performed
by Mr.. Howe and Gus Generich,

electoral votes. Governor Landon,
polling approximately 16,680, 900
votes received 8 votes. Each Roose-

desires of s 5000 voters. Each Lam
don vote represents the wishes Of

George VI municated to the
house of commons by Prime Min
lister Stanley Baldwin. Haggard and
deeply moved, the man who has
borne the brunt of the struggle on
behalf Of. the cabinet and parlia-

to the half stunned members. This
is what Edward said:

to take it.

executed an instrument Of abdica-
ton in the terms following:
".I, Edward VIII Of Great Brit
ain, Ireland, the British doninions

India, do hereby declare my ire
vocable determination to reuoune1
the throne for myself and my de
scendants. Ny desire Is that effect

Of abdication Immediately. 3
".In token thereof I have hereun-
to set my hand this 10th day Of

There followed a request that the
accession of his brother to the
throne be expedited, and according
~ enabling legislation effecting the
abdication and the accession of the
new king was promptly introduced
and put through the house Of COM

The new king was proclaimed
with the traditional ceremony fol-
lowing an assembly Of the accession

to control and regulate some Of the
principal activities Of business COR
porations. It is q far reaching prop
osition, as it now stands, and II
cannot be passed of lightly. There
is support for It in q number OF
quarters. While it undoubtedly will
not become law in its present form,
it must be regarded as the opening
wedge. NJ
The Wyoming senator's principal
idea is to require businesses Of an
| Incorporated character to take out
a federal license. II they do not
comply, the proposed law would
deny them the right to ship goods
into retail trade between states. !
While the main theme Of the prop
osition does not seem anything about
which one should get excited, it is
the things that<can be done behind
such a general requirement that
must and will be examined by con
gress and the country before

by Senator O'Mahoney. For exam
Die, If the federal Government IS
permitted to require businesses to
obtain a license or charter from
Washington, those businesses may
be compelled to meet all manner
of requirements before such q IL
cense or charter is granted. In the
reverse, il after they have the Ii
cense, they fail to observe the pro-
visions laid down either by congress
or bald . headed bureaucrats, e

atty that may be exacted. It should

power may De exercised Is scarcely
to be forecast. sT
While, as I said, the O'Mahoney
legislation may not be expected to
become law in its present form, its
terms and provisions give q hint
of what can be expected Of any
legislation of a similar character.

Museum of the Sea.

Washingtonians certainly should take
advantage Of the opportunity to inspect
President Roosevelts ship models and
prints, now on display at the Corcoran
Gallery of Art. The exhibition forecasts
q museum of the sea. Indeed, it has
been reported that a definite plan for
such an establishment has been formu-
lated and soon may be announced.
European capitals, of course, already
possess institutions designed to reflect
marine history in its age-long continuity
of service and romance. In London,
Paris, Berlin and The Hague, even in the
smaller cities of Britain and the Conti-
nent, American tourists have found de-
light in viewing their treasures. Philip

Exhibits of Student Art
At the National Gallery
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t is pleasure to call the attention of
all WaShingtonianS who are interested
in our national art to the art exhibition
now at the National Gallery by some of
the students in our public schools.
Such art exhibitions are always inspir-
ing and show that we need never be dis
couraged that art is dying out, especially
when we see the present work and know
that year by year our public schools are
turning out students who can so quickly
and proficiently carry on good standards
of art and at the same time absorb many
of the best standards of modern art.
I will describe no especial exhibit, let
ting the visitors pick out the many re-
markable examples they like best.
The work of the kindergarten school is
specially to be noticed. With what gusto
and fearleSSneSs these children attack a
subject or composition, often very COM
plicated in thought, and how uncon-
Sciously they seize the simplest interpre-
tation, and with a brush full of color
dash along and create these joyous re-
suits Remember, this is the work Of So
called little tots"
OF the high school work, there is much
to study and admire that will make the
more proficient artists feel quite humble.
There are all types of work in the exhibit,
besides paintings, block prints, costumes,
real ones; scenery, modelling. and even a
stage set. All in all, very cheerful and
encouraging exhibition that all should
see and study and be proud of.
