laughed. Then she said,
Doesn't he look nice in his
long pantsf They're his

''I think y they're grand"
said Freddie, strutting
around.
'Tt makes me feel badly"
said Aunt Cissy, with some
thing akin to tears in her
eyes. "They mean he's grow
ing up-and pretty soon he
will be a big boy"
Soon we left to 60 down

but I understand that every

EROM others I learned

been widely hailed as a child
prodigy in the Wits area
of England. He began re-
citing when he was so little

whom he has always lived)
had to stand near to be sure
he didn't fall off the chair.
The boy has an amazing
memory. As a very young
lad he memorized long pas
sages and whole chapters
from Shakespeare and Dick
ems, and could repeat them
letter-perfect months after
wards. So learning a script
is as easy for this boy as
building a red go-devil.
His goodwill he built him
self, devising the steering
system, and an unusual brak-
ing arrangement.
"See, he said, "This is how
the brake works. 1t is some
thing like a brake on a wagon
wheel, only this brakes down

Pretty good, Freddie
boy"
"Well, it works. That's the
main point. Have you seen

"About 40 miles per hour.

0H ELS really a brilliant
IL boy. Has lots of
imagination, and is on the
move every minute. Although
very sensitive he is a real
boy. Loves to go out in the
open. We planned to get up
at 2 a. M recently and go
fishing. We both set our
alarm clocks and the one
awake first was to pull the
other out. l was the one who
was pulled out.
Freddie was big-eyed
with excitement. We motored
to the mountains and had a
grand day, but got mixed up
on the way back, and so
didn't arrive in time for him
to get the rest we had
planned. He had to dress i'm
mediately to attend the din
ner Judge Lindsay was CIV
ing in his honor. By dinner
time he was so sleepy and
done-in that he just couldn't
keep his eyes open. I said:
you've just got to stay
awake, boy. This party is in
your honor. Remember your
p's and q's-and when it's
over you can sleep for "a
hours"
''The dinner went on. And
Freddie was lively and be-
haved perfectly. The dinner
over, we walked out and
got into the car. Before we
had pulled away from the
curb I turned to ask him
something. He was already
sound asleepp'
Freddie came back into the
kitchen. Anxiety written
over his face. How are

How's the fudge?"
"Those photographs are
swell-and the fudge isn't
ready yet"
"Then I'll autograph
these"
TN real life, Freddie talks

water: Quick, jerky, yet
graceful.
The young star dropped
some of the boiling mixture
into a glass of cool water
and let out a howl: cts
ready, it's ready" he
shouted. Somebody butter
a dish, quick?
I looked at Don Mcdowell,
the handsome M-G-M public
ity man. Don looked at Van
Scoyk. Van Scoyk looked at
me. So I grabbed a piece of
butter and a dish out of the
cupboard and set to work.
Freddie was beating for dear
life. I placed the dish on the
table for him.
"This, my boy" I said
with pride, 'is the best but
tered plate you'll ever get"
"And this, my DEAR" said
Freddie Bartholomew, as he
poured the slowly flowing
mixture, lis the best fudge
you'll ever eat !"
While it was cooling we
went down in the cellar to
see his darkroom. He does
candid camera work, devel-
oping and printing his own
negatives.

ing up in that quick, bird
like way. 'It's one of my
quieter hobbies"
"And the 'not-too-quiet'
ones?
Il love football. We boys
around here have six-man
team. That's all the boys in
the neighborhood, but we
get along splendidly. I do a
great deal of riding too.
That's marvellous exercise"
what did you do in Eng

"Of course, I came over

SOme on
So Freddie Bartholomew
and l went out to his kitchen
where the boy star proceeded
to prove his boast. -
l sat up on the drainboard
of the sink to be out of the
way while the young Eng
lish actor rushed with eager,
boyish energy between the
cupboard, the refrigerator,
and the stove.
He bent over the pot, his
long wavy hair falling down
a bit as he measured out the
sugar.
"How old are you, Fred
die9"
He looked up-T studied
his face intently. but | now

mainly very large, very
bright green-grey eyes. A
finely chiseled mouth with
full lower and thin upper
lip. The whole face beauti-
fully shaped, like a little boy

out the cocoa.

0NO." He sliced down a
~ hunk of butter with
a knife, then picked the yell
low blub up in his fingers
and dropped it into the pot.
What do you like to read
best?"
"Oh everything, really.
One day it might be Dickens,
then the next, a detective
story" He tossed his long
hair out of his eyes and
laughed, with the detec-
tive stories in the majority,
I should say" He shot a
teasing glance at Randolph
Van Scoyk, his tutor, who sat
on the white enamel table.
You want to make Miss
Martin think my tutoring has
all been in vain"
"She could hardly think
that as long as I am in the
tenth grade, but I'm sure she
wouldn't blame a boy for
reading detective stories"
Indeed I don't, Freddie.
l used to read every book
Henty ever wrote-and all
the others of that type 1
could get my hands on"
THE lad who stole the
u heart of the world by his
performance in David Cop
perfield" was stirring the
mixture with a vengeance.
l was sure the pot was going
to land on the floor. As he
talked, his voice was first
pitched in a high key and
then in a low key.
"Mr. Van Scoyk, is Fred
dies voice changing? 1t
doesn't seem to break, but the
pitch of it varies So"
"No, it's just that he has
such a long range"
You see, l can talk way
down here like this, or way
up here like this demon
strating with an ear-split-
ting shrillness of tone) with
out any bother at ALL"
But it's bother to us"
said Van Scoyk, with a laugh.
Freddie dashed for him and
the two mixed it up for a mo-
ment, then Freddie, painting
and cheeks more flushed than
ever, disengaged himself.

Battle of Tongues
BeStS Garnett

Although he has been the vic
tor in many court battles, United
States Attorney Leslie c. Garnett
today cried "kamerad" in the lin
guiStic tilt with Attorney General
Homer Cummings.
The tilt began several weeks ago
when Colonel Garnett, acknowl-
edging receipt of the Attorney
Generals recent book, quoted an
appreciative and Latin phase
which he said was from Horace.
Replying with a letter written
entirely in Latin, the Attorney
General reminded Colonel Gar.
nett that the quotation was not
from Horace, but was from Virgil.
A local newspaper carried a news
item, commenting that the At.
torney Generals Latin letter con-

tained five errors. When this item
was brought to Colonel Garnetts
attention he clipped it and for
warded it to his chief with the
brief addenda:
Respectfully referred for ap-
prOpriate action"
The appropriate action took
place today when Colonel Garnett
received another letter from the
Attorney General written in three
different languages-Greek, Chi
neSe and another that none of
the formers staff could identify.
Neither can Colonel Garnett's
staff furnish a person who can
translate any of the languages.
Asked what his next move would
be, Colonel Garnett despairingly
cried:
"Kamerad! 1 quit"

TEACHER RATE f
PLAN T0GET
TRY0UT

Unable to agree on a new
method Of rating teachers in the
public school system, members OF
the Board of Education and school
officials have decided to employ
the current rating method for the
remainder of this school year.
In addition to using this method,
they decided also at a meeting
yesterday to give new rating
under consideration for the past
two years a trial. Each rating Off
Ger will be requested to make trial
use of the new rating system by
checking on no fewer than five
nor more than 10 teachers, filing
the trial ratings with the Superin-
tendent Of schools and submitting
written reports covering expert
ence, observations, criticism and
recommendations regarding the
proposed new system.
Schools Superintendent Frank
w. Ballou told members of the
board that the proposed new Sys-
tenn was opposed by principals in
the system. Several board mem
bers, led by Henry Gilligan. insisted
that the new system be acceptable
to teachers primarily. School Of
ficials insisted that any new rat
ing plan be acceptable to both
principals and teachers.
Gilligan served notice that "un-
less some one else does it," he
will move to reopen the case Of

were fixed as follows: Divisions 10

the city clock was being repaired:
Pedestrians, used to craning their
necks upward to note the time of day,
gazed in vain. The clock hands were
missing.
The clock which has looked down
on the city from the city hall tower
more than 40 years was being repaired.
1t was the first wholesale" surgery
the clock has had since the building
was erected in 1890, city employees said.
Minor repairs were made about a
decade ago, however.

doing business at the same old stand,
the minute hand has twirled around
about ,720 times, while the hour

When the train stopped at Stuart
more flat cars and another engine
