YOUNG CRIPPLES
FORGET WOES AS
GUESTS AT film
Snow White Showing
Charms 200 Children

For a few all-tco-fieeting hours,
nearly 200 of Washington's Grip
pied boys and girls romped in
fancy through a cinema fairyland
today when they attended a Spe-
cial showing of Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs" at RKO Keith's
Theater.
BY busses, taxicabs and automo-
biles, ali of which had been
donated for the occasion, young
sters we're brought to the theater
from all sections of the city. The
show was sponsored by the Wash
ington Times and Keith's Theater.
CRUTCHES FORGOTTEN
Seated in a reserved section Of
the orchestra, the children, dur"
ing those few enchanted hours,
forgot crutcheS. braces and other
handicaps suffered in early life &C
cidents and ailments, as the magic
of motion pictures transported
them to the land of Princess Snow
White, the forest animals, Prince
Charming and the now interna-
tionally famous seven dWarfs.
Time and again the youngsters
shook with laughter over the an
tics of BaShful, Dopey, Grumpy,
Doc and the other dwarfS. They
shivered with fear as the wicked
queen transformed herself into q
witch bent on the destruction OF
Snow White. They sighed with
relief when the prince finally res
cued Snow White.
AND ICE CREAM, TOO
Prior to the showing of the mo-
ton picture, the youngsters were
treated with those delights of all
juvenile parties-ice cream and
cake.
The ice cream was donated by
the Southern Diaries and the
cakes by the Bakers Association
Of Washington.
| Through the generosity OF the
Capital Transit Company, which
furnished several buSSeS; the Pre-
mier Cab Company, which placed
its cabs at the disposal of the
party sponsors; and Washington
automobile owners, who offered
their time and cars, the problems
of transporting the young cripples
to and from the theater readily
were solved.
AUTO OWNERS HELP
So generous was the response Of
automobile owners that all young.
sters needing transportation were
assigned cars yesterday and a
waiting list" was composed.
The party included the entire
student body of the Langdon
School section for cripples, nu.
merous patients under treatment
at Children's Hospital, all young
crippled patients of the Instruc-
tive Visiting Nurses and scores Of
youngsters who have Surmounted
life'S handicaps sufficiently to
get along" by themselves.

THOMAS VISIONS.
AGREEMENT ON.
D. C. MONEY BILL.
Senator Confers With
Collins to Clear Air

Quick agreement on major
items in dispute between Senate
and House conferees on the Dis
trict Appropriation bill was fore
cast, today as Chairman Elmer
Thomas CD of Oklahoma, of the
Senate group, conferred with
Chairman Ross Collins CD of
Mississippi in an effort to lay the
foundation for final trading
Monday.
They declined to discuss conclu.
sions reached at the two-man par.
ley on the ground their discussions
were tentative and intended only
to clear the air for a meeting of
the conferees at 1890 a. m
Monday.
ISSUES DISCUSSED
From within the conference
group, however, it was learned the
following tentative agreements
probably will stand:
l. The Thomas Circle under
pass will stay in the bill.
2. The Dupont Circle under
pass is definitely out.
3. School appropriations as
approved by the Senate will be
cut, but remain substantially
above the level approved by the
House, and close to the original
budget eStimateS-some $780,
900 higher than the House fig
ure.
4. House provision for a new
grade separation project, where
K Street northwest interSectS
the Rock Creek Parkway. will
remain in the bill.
5. Parking meters will stay in.
THOMAS FOR BRIDGE
Senator Thomas was standing
pat on the Pennsylvania Avenue
bridge, and there were indica-
tions that the House conferees
would yield on this project.
Chairman Collins was equally
inSistent on closing the National
Training School for Girls and
moving its occupants to Oc,
coquan, and for closing the Chill,
dren's Receiving Home not later
than next January.
OTHER TRADES
Senator Thomas was under.
stood to be seeking a House agree.
ment on his plan for new Mas
sachusetts Avenue bridge over the
Rock Creek Parkway, to open up
the present bottleneck. He of
fered to eliminate a long list of
Senate street paving projects in
exchange.
It appeared certain the con
fereeS would also go along on the
Thomas amendment, permitting
District Commissioners to try out
parking meters on downtown
streets without cost to the munich
pality.

Tip For Housewives

Tip For Housewives
VOU hard-working, worried housewives, who
have the endless, nagging little troubles
every day, when things seem to have reached the
limit put on your hat and slip out to the nearest
park and sit quietly for 20 minutes or half an
hour-dont look at the troubled faces around
you, but look up far into the sky and see what
peace it will bring you.
Distance and space are unknown quantities
and they have grandeur and peace about
them one gets from nothing else in this world,
except from firm belief in God.

abruptly. "A Washington bus passes

wondering why this naive child made
his heart beat faster.
Some doctors do very we'll" he said
quietly in a moment. MY mother
gets bills from some Of the best doc
tors in New York. I'm sure none Of
those doctors will ever be in the
breadlines."
"Small-town DOCTORS" Joyce told
him patiently, ARE not like that. Their
fees are small, even when they are paid,
which isn't often" She viewed Craig
Wyatt with slightly satirical eyes.
What business are you in, Mr..
Wyatt?"
He looked at her suspiciously, and
then he grinned little.
I'm going nowhere in big hurry"
And smashing things are you 60"
she teased.
He nodded. Including myself" and
then. defensively. I've been told that
/ should be ashamed of myself, but my
father left my mother and myself a
rather sizable income. Our affairs are
in the hands of brainy men. On the
few occasions when I've made sug-
gestions things went badly, so I've
learned to let them alone"
Joyce wasn't listening. His phrase,
I'm going nowhere in a big hurry"
still echoed in her mind. She frowned
over it, chewing thoughtfully on a
forefinger. 1T might not be so bad"
she mused. 1T might. indeed, be very
delightful. I'm going nowhere, TOO,
but very slowly!"
For no particular reason, she thought
of DR.. Bill Elliott. His strong, kindly
features were before her for an in
stand, blue eyes twinkling, lips ready
to frame the inevitable proposal. 1T
isn't fair" she thought miserably,
that Craig Wyatt should have so
much while DR.. Bill and l have so
little"
And then she heard a car in the
driveway and its familiar rattle an
nounced the arrival of DR.. Bill. The
engine died in agony and the sound
Of a CHEEKY whistle came to them.

entered the bedroom. He smiled at

DR.. Bill clucked mournfully Just

patients stay sick from now on. The
rich get well pronto. There amt nc
justice"
Joyce froWned at him. She had told
him many times that he should be
more dignified with his patients. but
he always laughed her suggestion of.
She looked at Craig. He scowled at
the thermometer. but took the rest of
the examination with good grace She
got the impression that he hadn't
much confidence in this country doc
tor. DR.. Bill Strengthened, signing.
Just as I feared" he smiled.
You're in good shape again."
Can get up this morning." Craig
asked quickly.
Dr. Bill looked at Joyce with twin
king eyes. What do you think,
nurse?"
Joyce looked at Craig, seeing the
good-humored appeal in his eyes.
Since Mr.. Wyatt wants to phone
a contractor to build me new stand"
she said coolly. Il think he should
get up Immediately.
She made hastily for the door as
long, pajama-clad legs swung over
the side Of the bed. She went to the
front porch and frowned at the sun
light-f1ooded yard. Cars were speed
ing over the pike. and her eyes went
to the spot where her dream had come
true. Somehow that dream didn't
seem SO important as it had yesterday.
Standing there, she found herself
comparing the two young men she had
just left, and tried to analyze her
feelings toward them. DR.. Bill, she
realized suddenly. was Interchangeable.
Barring an accident, he would never
have much more than he had now
One rafting. painless fiivver would
give place to others as the years
passed. His wife would wear last years
hat. and a dress carried over from the
year before that. There would be no
luxuries for that woman.
But she won't be me-" Joyce told
herself firmly. so why should I give
any thought to her?"
Quite resolutely she turned her
thoughts to Craig Wyatt. He had
changed a little. she realized, since
the day before. He no longer looked
at her as If she were part of a pleas
ant background, designed for his
pleasure and comfort.
He sees me now" she unused, and
the thought thrilled her.
And then she tried to deny that the
thought had been in her mind. Rich
young men. she told herself sternly,
waste no time on the daughters of
country doctors.
Pretty nice boy!"
Joyce spun about, startled, and
found DR.. Bill grinning at her. She
regarded him soberly for q moment.
why call him q boy?' she asked,
frowning. Hes as old as you"
BIN shrugged. I'm years, perhaps
Otherwise, no."
Joyce said, I'VE made our mistake,
Bill. a long time ago. We chose the
wrong parents. Mr.. Wyatt was wiser" F"
Sounds cynical" DR.. Bill growled.
Don't like it, not from you. You
wouldn't trade DR.. Adair for Croesus. -
Joyce's eyes misted a little, thinking
OF the kindly man who was her father.
Her eyes met Bills
You're right too much of the time,
Bill" she sighed. TRY being wrong
oftener. and I'll like you better.
Bill said gravely, You're bad for
my patients. Joyce. Il think Of you
too much of the time, instead OF
them"
II we were married you wouldn't
think of me at all, Bill. Marrying q
doctor is life sentence to poverty
and neglect" His wide shoulders
drooped little, and her heart stirred.
