What to Do?

So Farmer Browns Boy did without
. fire that day. When later in the
afternoon he got ready to leave for
home he was careful to close the door
and lock it. Nothing will get In there
to disturb things" thought he, land
perhaps by the time we come over to
begin sugaring I will have thought OF
some plan"
The weather turned cold that night
and 1t held cold for the next several
days, SO cold that there was no chance
for sap to run. Farmer Browns Boy
thought Of those little Squirrels in
their snug, If unusual, home, and he
was glad that he had not pulled the
nest out that day when he had dis
covered 1t. Then came a decided
change in the weather. The days
were warm, but the nights were cold.
1t was sugaring time. He and Farmer
Brown took blankets and supplies over
to the sugar house. There were busy
days ahead of them. All those maple
trees had to be tapped That is, holes
had to be bored in the trunks and
little spouts fitted into those holes and
pail hung from each one to catch
the dripping sap.
When they opened up the sugar
house Farmer Browns Boy was still
undecided what to do. Something
must be done. Yes, sir, something
must be done. He didn't have to be
told that by his father. He knew it.
As soon as everything had been

reached in and took out one Of those
baby Squirrels. Its eyes were still
tightly shut. but 1t had q little fine
gray coat now. Farmer Brown shook
his head. Son" said he, Il don't
know what you're going to DO with
those rascals. We won't have to use
that evaporator today because we'll be
busy all day setting pals, but we'll
have to use it tomorrow. What is
your idea?"
There's only one thing that we can
do that I can think Of" said Farmer
Browns Boy. "and that is to put that
nest in box over in the far corner
and make hole so that Mrs. Happy
Jack can get in and out Of the house
even when the door is closed. I'm Just
wondering how she will feel about it.

the divorce, you see, I naturally felt a
bit resentful toward all women. So
I've been working hard over at Cedar
vile. don't find any too much time
to play" Camilla softly laughed in
the shadows.
"OFFHANDED." she suggested, Il
should say you we're making a
mistake. You know that old saying
about all work and no play!"
Quite possibly you're right" he
agreed. But I need playmate. as 1t
were. Perhaps if you'd care to some
time"
ANY one looking for me would
probably find me at the Ambersons, !"
she countered. Gregory made men,
tai note Of it.
Thereafter the residents Of Cedar
vile began to notice distinct change
in Gregory. More and more often he
would close the door of her real estate
office downtown at an early hour in
the afternoon and disappear In his car
in the direction of Belleford. His
friends were surprised and pleased at
the change. Maybe Gregory was get
ting humanized.
Gregory and Camilla were driving
through pleasantly wooded section
on a Saturday afternoon. The Sum-
mer sun filtered goldenly through the

them with thousand shifting lights
as Gregory brought the car to a
standstill. Both immersed in their
own thoughts and the beauty of scene,
they were silent for some time. Then
Gregory captured her hand gently.

continue this game? This con-
tinual putting up of defense, of being
so aware of each other and not admit

lease her hand.
I've been wondering about that"
she admitted. When I first came to
Belleford heard lot about you and
what lady-killer you were supposed
to be. So resolved not to be like the
others, but now I'm not so sure you
are what a lot of them think you are!"
She smiled up at him. In more ways
than one!"
Camilla" he cried, you don't
mean" She was silent. If !
dared, I'd ask you. not to change your
name, but both your residence and
your designation in the scheme Of
things"
She returned the pressure Of his
hand. Il think I'd like living in Ce-
darville. and. besides. 1t doesn't matter
about the name" she affirmed. Waite

Mr.. Wetzlar.

Mr.. Wetzlar failed to give a slam
invitational game force Of three clubs
on the first round, since he could not
be sure but what the hand might be
q misfit. However, after Mr.. Cum
ningham gave an immediate club
raises, Mr.. Wetzlar became definitely
interested In q siam and decided to
show his controls in the major suits;
hence. the bid Of three spades. Mr..
Cunningham now bid four clubs, since
he did not care to go to three no
trump with an unprotected heart suit,
and now Mr.. Wetzlar showed his
heart ace.
Mr.. Cunningham realized that club
slam must be an absolute certainty,
since surely his partner could get rid
Of enough secondary heart or spade
losers on the good diamonds: hence,
Mr. Cunningham jumped to six clubs,
whereupon Mr.. Wetzlar was able to bid
seven with complete feeling of safety.
While the grand slam was a spread,
Messrs. Cunningham and Wetzlar were
among the few pairs to reach it, and
received practically top score.

Saturday evening dance at Belleford
that he had felt the first pangs of un-
easiness at his imperviousness to the
Establishments of any woman.
Gregory was we'll used to the ad-
vances of women. in fact. he had al
most come to expect them as mat
ter of routine. Whether they sensed
the safety of such methods or felt a
desire to help him forget the pain OF
his disillusionment is problematical
But at all events, he had as yet kept
himself clear Of anything nearly ap-
preaching an entangling alliance with
any of them.
The game room and veranda Of the
Belleford Country Club had been con-
verted into ball room for the eve
ming. Gregory was met by greetings
from every side as he entered the
room and glanced about, nodding at
acquaintance. Suddenly his rowing
eyes fixed themselves in a startled
almost rude stare at girl who sat
quite alone at one end Of the room,
obviously oblivious to his presence.
CAMILLA was beautiful. Her slight
~ figure, the corn-fower color OF
her hair. the amused, wide-set violet
eyes were at once almost demure, and
electrifyingly arresting. The full force
of the Jolt struck Gregory at first
sight. Casually. he strolled to the Vi
cinity of the strange girl, and stood
watching the dancers.
He became strangely i'll at ease, per-
haps because he was in the presence OF
battling irregularity. The girl SEEM
ingly hadn't noticed that he was
within 100 miles, but sat with slight
smile locking out upon the crowded
floor. Gregory took his courage in his
hands and turned to her.
Have you the next dance free?" he
ventured. Miss" Furtively he
stole a glance at her left hand and
was relieved to note neither we'd
ding nor an engagement ring. The
/ girl looked up rather disinterestedly.
Yes" she offered frigidly. I'm Ca
milla Waite" Gregory breathed more
easily as he approached familiar
ground.
And I'm Gregory Waite. from over
at Cedarville,' he impaired. quite a
coincidence, isn't it? I mean having
the same names" He laughed con-
strainedly. The girl shrugged.

lifted her arms and Gregory appro-
priated her blond loveliness for the
dance.

the arguments Of pedants or purists.
So the earliest general meaning Of
Outrage" was something passing be-
yond established or reasonable bounds:
correlarily, it came to signify want Of
moderation. intemperance or excess.
From this it was an easy step to
the idea of boldness or presumption,
involving subsequently violent or dis
orderly action.
Other familiar meanings naturally
flowing from the initial analysis Of
"out" and rage" which the word
acquired are insolence, injury. gross

DC. MEMORIAL
PLANNED FOR
JEFFERSON
President Is Shown
Sketches; No Rush
For Approval
By EARL GOODWIN

Washington is to have another
great memorial to another great
national leader-Thomas Jeffer-
son.
Tentative plans and proposals
for various sites were laid before
President Roosevelt today by the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial Com
mission, created by the previous
Congress and headed by Repre-
sentative John ]. Boylan CD
of New York.
The sketches shown to the
President today in the blue room
of the White House were pre-
pared by John Russell Pope,
architect for the commission, and
famous for many memorials Of
national fame. Among these are
the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial,
in New York city; the Lincoln
shrine at Hodgehville, KY; Scot
tish Rite Memorial in this city;
also Constitution Hall, the Ar
chives Building and Others.
None Yet Approved
The discussion as to the char
acter of the Memorial did not
reach the point where any par
ticular sketch was approved, but
in general the Commission left
the White House with the deter
mination to work for a jefferson
Memorial equal to the Lincoln
Memorial in grandeur.
At least, the Memorial will take
the form of a shrine, if the Com
missions present views are car
ried out, and it will not be a
park or a roadway such as is
contemplated for the Gettysburg
Battle Memorial.
The President was reported to
be much pleased with the sketches
and remarked that they were so
beautiful he would like to see all
Of them erected.
The question Of a site for the
Memorial was discussed at length
without a conclusion. The Com
mission would apparently like to
choose asite directly south of
the White House below the Wash
nigton Monument, but also had
other suggestions. One was "some-
where on the Mall" and another
was somewhere on East Capitol
Street."
Will Not Be Rushed
There is no likelihood of the
memorial being rushed to compile
ton at present, with the economy
wave spreading over Congress, but
is likely to take form in some ap-
preparation bill within a year or
two.
Members of the commission who
called on the President today with
Chairman Boylan included SEN
ator Thomas Of Utah, Senator
Lonergan of Connecticut, Senator
McNary Of Oregon, Representa-
tive Howard W. Smith of Virginia,
Representative Francis Culkin of
New York, Hollins Randolph, Jo-
Seph p. Tumulty, Stuart G. Glib
honey, DR.. George Ryan and DR..

0FCRIMINALS
HEREURGED
Brown Seeks to Make
D. c. Hot Spot for
Law VioIators

Enactment Of criminal registra-
Jtion laws designed to make Wash
ington a "hot spot" for criminals,
will be urged upon the District
Commissioners today by Major
Ernest w. Brown, Superintendent
of Police.
Major Brown is scheduled to
confer today with the Commission
ers and with E. Barrett Pretty
man, Corporation Counsel, on
general crime conditions here and
he expects to suggest tentative
plans for such registration laws.
Specifically, Major Brown wants:
A law that will require all
former convictS living or moving
into the District to register with
the police, to be finger-printed
and photographed. These regis
tered persons would then be re-
quired to report each week.
Penalties would be provided for
failure to comply with the law.
Hitch Hiking Law
A national hitch-hiking law to
prevent easy travel for felons
and juvenile delinquents who are
potential criminals.
Major Brown said he had dis
cussed a criminal registration law
with the Commissioners at diff
ferent times, and at those times
they were in favor of it.
Decision to ask such law Of
Congress follows a mounting bur-
glary, hold-up and purse-snatch-
ing toll here, climaXed by the
killing last Friday of a colored
man during the hold-up of gro
Gerry store in the 1900 block of
Ninth st. N. w. and the serious
wounding of the store manager.
This crime was committed by two
colored men and a colored woman.
Twenty-one of the colored men
and women rounded up by police
over the weekend had criminal
records, proved through finger
prints, Major Brown said, and
all were unemployed and. were
from out of the city.
SO Prisoners Held
Altogether, police are holding
SO colored prisoners for "investiga-
tion" after their weekend raids.
Eleven of these are held as sus-
poets in the chain store hold-up
and murder. One of these has
been tentatively identified as
participant in the hold-up murder
and Inspector Bernard w. Thomp-
son, chief of detectives, expects a
positive Identification today.
Immediate effects of the police
drive to round up the city's col
ored criminal element were seen
BY police when but one purse
snatching and only minor house
breakings were reported to them
during the night.
There were no holdups last
night and but two Saturday
night.
Edna Gardener, 1927 Q st.
N. W., told police her purse was
snatched last night by a man and
a woman in the 1400 block Wis
conSin Ave. The pair escaped in
an automobile. The purse con-
tanned Sc, she said.

$50, were stolen from the apart
