Plans are also under way to deaden the sound within the obser-. vation gallery, for the children's at tention is more often drawn to it by a sudden noise than by shadows of the passing people. Sound-proof flooring and sound absorbing walls for the visitors gallery would tend to reduce the chances of distract ing the children's attention. and plans for the improvement are un- der way.

for the children's interest in the robins, jays and grackels that abound has always been intense.
 They Remember Birds
 One of their favorite religious pie lures in the nursery is "Vita Mum ali" Life of the World), paint ing which shows Jesus holding a tiny bird on His finger. Several re- productions of the painting hang in the nursery. The children, after their last summers experience with birds, were quick to notice the bird in the picture and to point it out with gleeful cries.
 It is quite plain that their re- ligious attachment to the Child Jesus is growing in accordance with the training afforded by the devout nurses. Each morning they greet the religious pictures with a gay wave of the hand and a merry Bon jour, petit Jesus"
 In one picture of Jesus the Car penter, they noted the hammer in his hand and recognized it as the same instrument they use in the instructive game of hammering pegs through a board. -s.
 In another, noting His bare feet. they commented sympathetically. shaking their heads over the "pieds froid," evidently concerned for fear that feet less well shod than their own might be cold. ;v,i,
 No Pets Quite Yet
 Though innutnerable pets of every kind continue, to be offered to the children, it Is. unlikely that any dogs or regular pets will be allowed at the hospital this sum- mer. In good time they will be, but the chance of their bringing some infection into the hospital is still too great to counterbalance the benefits just now.
 It takes only moment of watch ing the children on the playground to see how strong and rugged they are becoming. At play session shortly before the third birthday, they were riding their kiddie cars sturdily about the cement track" that encircles it, when suddenly Emile decided to play horse" with her car.
 Gripping it firmly by the handle bars, she made the front wheel rear up," and. bounced it down again on the pavement with a shock that caused it's little bicycle bell to jangle and threatened to shatter the frail car. Gleefully the others joined the new game until all five were bouncing the kiddie cars up and down, bells dangling, and front wheels hammering on the pavement. With shrill cries of glee they all played this delightful new "gallop- ing horse" game until time to re- turn to the nursery.
 It remains true that French will be the first and normal language of the quins, and that most of the words and sentences they use up to their third birthday are in that language. But in a bilingual coun- try, like Canada, you must hear both languages spoken. And that accounts for the fact that when a recent visitor. turned to leave the nursery after watching the quins go through much of their morning routine, Emile, Marie and Annette, who were nearest the door,. all turned and waved sinilingly. And what they said was not the French "au revoir" which the nurses urge them to use, but a good old-fash- toned American phrase.
 "Goodby, goodbyl" they chorused.

 It will be an outdoor summer, but further efforts will be made to screen visitors from the childrenS eyes at other times than when they before the screen of the observation gallery. Then they not see their observers. But they have, as they grow older shown an increasing tendency to be conscious of people standing outside the fence whom they see from the nursery itself from the porch and from the runway leading from the nursery to the play yard. ~.,

ATTACKS
POLICE POWER
0NPARKING
Capital Lawyer, Given
Ticket, Favors New
System of Slams

Claiming many parking signs
in the District merely confuse
motorists and should be replaced
by a more systematic chain Of
signs under proper authority of
the Commissioners, Attorney Cor
nelius H. Doherty today filed a
brief in Police Court with Judge
John P. Mcmahon, prior to argu-
ment before the court Saturday
on the validity of hundreds of
local parking signs.
Doherty was given a ticket last
month for violation of a parking
sign, being charged specifically
with parking too close to the cor
ner of Vermont Avenue and K
Street Northwest.
Challenges Police Authority
Doherty's chief contention in
his brief is that the sign carried
the notation, by Order of the
Police Department" while in the
act of Congress authorizing Dis.
trict traffic regulations, authority
is expressly given to the Commits
sioners and not to the Police De.
partment.
According to Doherty, the Com.
missioners can promulgate munich
pal regulations for handling traf-
fic, but these must be published
for 10 consecutive days in a daily
newspaper before they become ef-
fective. This, he said, has not
been done.
Nelson Writes Brief
Assistant Corporation Counsel
George D. Nelson prepared the
Districts brief after it had been
announced by Rice Hooe, in
charge of the Corporation Coun.
sells office in Police Court, that
the Government would not file a
counter brief, because it was
thought Doherty'S claims were
correct.
Later, however, on demand of
Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal
and Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer, it was decided to fight
the case. Nelson's argument are
that general direction regulatory
signs are properly authorized. Con.
gress, Nelson claims, could not
have contemplated publication of
intention to erect all parking signs
at designated places, since this
would result in endless procedure.

Says:

That's . nice scare that

fair sex about women getting to
look like men If they keep on
smoking. And he doesn't
mean look like Robert Taylor,
either. This big-shOt beautician
threatens female smokers with
everything but growing Adams
apples.
Still, it would have its COM
penSatiOns. With both sexes
looking alike, a man won't have
to read a newspaper in a street
car when a woman is standing
up in front of him.
And 1t won't be so bad If wOnl-
en- smokers get to look like
men So long as they don't act
like men and start borrowing
cigarettes.
But with both sexes looking
alike, the worlds oldest vaude-

PROMISED
MaryIander Says Only
Enough Is Needed to
Meet Deficit

The additional tax burden to be
placed on the shoulders of Wash
ingtonians probably will not be as
heavy as that proposed in the pro-
gram recommended in the House
last week by Representative Ross
Collins Cd, of Mississippi, chair.
man of the House District Appro-
priations Subcommittee, it was in.
dicated today.
This ray of hope came from a
statement today by Representative
Ambrose Kennedy Cd, Of Mary.
land, chairman of the House Dis
trict Subcommittee named to con.
slider additional tax measures for
the city.
The Collins program consists Of
a series of nine bills proposing
either new taxes or substantial in
creases in those now in effect, and
it is the Mississippian's estimate
that they will raise an additional
$12,000,000 for the District.
It is his idea that, although only
100000 in new revenue is
needed to meet the anticipated
deficit of next year, surplus
should be created with the even
tual view of reducing the existing
taxes on real estate.
Kennedy today struck a blow
at this recommendation Of Col
Inns, asserting that when the con-
Sideration of the new revenue
measures gets under way it will
be his purpose to raise only
enough to meet the anticipated
deficit and no more. Further, he
said:
Il see no reason for reduc-
ing the present real estate tax
rate here. The landlords al.
ready are making heavy profits
and I see no reason for redo
ing their taxes and permitting
them to make more"
The Marylander declared that
it is his opinion that either some
Of the taxes proposed by Collins
be ditched or the whole program
be enacted by amendment so as
to materially reduce the rates
Collins has proposed.
Mr.. Kennedy is somewhat in
clined to look with disfavor upon
the income tax proposal Of the
appropri tons subcommittee
chairman, asserting that he be-
lieves it might be preferable to
permit the existing Intangible
tax to remain on the statute
books, but amend the law so that
those subject to that tax should
not be permitted to escape pay.
