Taught to
Put Them AWGy

For instance. I know parents
who give children toys when
they put them to bed. That is
bad. The quintupletS have been
taught to put their toys away
when they are finished playing,
before they go to bed. When
they are in bed they must be
quiet, so it isn't long before
they are asleep.
Don't think these five little
girls are unusual, that they are
naturally model children. After
q period of illness when routineS
have been allowed to be broken,
we always have trouble with
them.
One time a year or so ago,
sleeping routineS had been
broken because of illness. When
the children recovered and we
began to insist on routine again
Emile decided that she would
assert herself. Well, believe it
or not, she got out of bed no
fewer than 40 times. The nurse
counted them. Each time she
got out Of her crib, the nurse
put her back.

Committee.
The investigation, proposed in
a resolution introduced by Repre-
sentative Dies Cd Of Texas,
would be conducted by a special
committee Of seven House mem
berS.
Chairman O'Connor CD Of
New York will seek favorable
action as soon as possible.
BROAD PROBE LIKELY
The resolution is broad enough
to cover inquiry into Fascist, Com
muniSt, Nazi and all other forms
Of propaganda alleged to be d.
rected at overthrowing American
institutions and substituting a
new form Of rule.
Twenty American corporations
have contributed money to the
Nazi movement in this country

in Germany would be seized, Rep

by John L. Lewis of the CLIO, the
committee declared:
1T is enough to know that
since last September, between
100000 and 100000 persons
have lost their jobs in private
employment. While this pre-
cipitous decline seems to have
been definitely checked last
month, action now is necessary
to prevent resumption of the
tendency and to encourage an
increase in employment in pri-
Vate industry.
SPEED is SOUGHT
The purpose of the Presi-

the committee in reporting the
measure is to furnish with the
greatest expedition consistent
with prudent use of the funds,
as large a proportion of en-

At Chesterfield

CHESTERFIELD, England, May

killed, SO were entombed and 40

of a terrific explosion in the Mark

Authorities said they feared the
death toll would prove heavier
when a complete check Of all casu-
alties has been completed.
More than 100 men were caught
by flames resulting from the
blast as they made their way to
the bottom of the coal shaft. The
exit was blocked by tumbIing
debris, WATCH rescue workers des-
perately sought to clear away in
an effort to free them.
CHANGE OF SHIFTS
The blast, which created havoc
half o mile beneath the surface,
occurred at 6 a. M, while between
$50 and 200 miners were exchang-
ing shifts a mile from the bottom
of the shaft.
A dull rumble as the roof caved
in, followed by a flash Of flame
and clouds Of dust, served dra-
matte notice that a new mine dis
aster had taken place.
While the blaze and dust still
roared through the subterranean
workings, rescue workers rushed
to the scene. .
Two hours later, at 8 a. M, q
new explosion occurred-while
approximately 100 men still were
below the surface.
At that hour the fire was re.
ported raging undated within

killed an armed bandit suspect
early today.
The policeman, Private James
