President Earl Adams an
nOunced that he had placed city
trash can at South Beach, which
IS said TO be in quite an unsani-
tary candition. A committee,
composed of Anibal Armayor, A.
Hampton, l. Weintraub and other
members of the Junior Chamber,
at the suggestion of President
Adams, interviewed County Com
missioner Braxton B. Warren and
arranged that the prisoners in the
county jail clean the beach
thoroughly. This will be at
tended to within the next few
days.
The matter of placing markers
before the historic spots of the
city with descriptive legends was
also discussed. A few examples
of possible places where these
could be placed were pointed out,
such as the Bahama Home. Oldest
House, Southernm0St House. Not
only were the historic spots to be
SO marked. but also those other
major points N the city which
are unique and highly interesting
to the visitor, such as the Turtle
CrawIs. and Mollie Parker'S gar
dens. 1t was mentioned that per
mission might be obtained to
have the markers done at the
NYA workshop which does ex-
cellent work of this sort
A committee of Enrique Es-
quinaldo, Jr-. l. P. Artman, Jr..

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Fontoine Fox

Back in his hiding place in the
thicket of hemlock trees in the
Green Forest, with Peter Rabbit to
keep him company, Lightfoot the
Deer began to have a little hope
despite the dreadful aching of his
wounds. He had found that he
could move if he tried. 1t hurt to
do so, but he could do it. Then that
long. cool drink at the Laughing
Brook had seemed to put new life
in him. He began to feel that per-
haps if he were careful Old Mother
Nature might in time heal the
wounds made by the hunters ter
rible gun. The one thing that vor-
ried him most, the one great fear,

scent. His big ears were set to
catch every sound, and in his great,
soft, beautiful eyes was that fearful,
hunted, anxious look.
BY and by the faint bang of
distant gun was brought to him by
the Merry Little Breezes. Lightfoot
trembled all over and the look OF
terror grew in his eyes. He felt that
ne must get up and run and he knew
that he couldn't. So he lay still and
trembled. From time to time he
heard those distant bangs, and each
time he shook with fear. You see,
he knew just what those bangs
meant. They meant that some one
very 1kely was killed, q II not

killed, was perhaps suffering as he
had suffered from pain and fright.
So the morning slowly passed. and
presently Lightfoot had visitors. The
first was Sammy Jay. Sammy has
a way of peering into all sorts of
places, and he just happened to
stop in that little thicket. OF course,
he discovered right away that some
thing was wrong with Lightfoot, and
he soon had the whole story.
Its sad business, sad business -
said Sammy soberly. Il certainly
am sorry for you, Lightfoot. But
you are lucky to be no worse off than
you are. I've seen some dreadful
things happen from those texTibls

guns. But you are safe here, quite
safe. No hunters come here. Just
you keep quiet and attend to getting
well. I'll warn you If any danger
comes near"
Lightfoot thanked Sammy. He
knew that Sammy would do just as
he had promised. More than once
had Sammy given him timely warn
ing.
Hardly had Sammy Jay left when
Mrs. Grouse stole into the thicket.
"Oh, excuse me, Lightfoot," said
she politely. II didn't know any one
was here. I've often hidden in here,
and thought I would spend the rest

No hunters will come here. Farmer

So Lightfoot's friendly neighbors
tried to ease his mind, and at last
he went to sleep. for he was quite

Then she saw that Lightfoot was
hurt. She looked at him very hard
for a minute, her bright little eyes
taking him all in. Did a hunter

demanded.
Lightfoot nodded miserably, and
Peter Rabbit told Mrs. Grouse all
about it.

Two weeks later to a day, as
Allison was starting out to see
whether Silas Thorne would have
Holsters for their MONDAY dinner,

ment, stopped to stare.

Stepping to the rear of his

flung open the painted doors.
This here your property?" he
said to Allison. Cit back there,
youse!" To the boys and dogs.
Allison looked into the van.
There, stretched full length on the
broad studio couch, with chairs
and other heavier furniture hang
ing perilously over him, slept Peter
Blake.
"Hey!" yelled the driver. Were

She stood away from the porch
pillar as if the wood had suddenly
scorched her fingers. Years ago,
when she was twenty, Peter had
made sketch Of her standing
there, dreaming.
He had presented it to her with
a blush. Peter became quite shy
when he brought something up
from the secret depths of his ma
ture for another to see.

the drawing, knowing he'd never
do anything better, but it's a lit
tie like what I feel about you and
can't find words to say"
A hush came to Allison still
whenever she passed it. The dark
eyed girl with the sweet, tender
mouth-oh, take the bitterness
away from that mouth, Allison.
Peter loved its sweetness for so
long!

rooms, she saw that picture and

Peter gave her a hand. His

tight on hers. He pulled her to a
seat on the couch beside him.

gave me-" he growled. Packing

year-old in a pinafore, she was a
schoolgirl in pigtails, she was 16
years old and lost in dreams-she
was 20 and waiting for Peter. All
these creatures belonged.
Only the handsome, mature
woman with the turbulent and
certainly breaking heart was a
stranger. That was because she,
Allison Blake, for Is years had
made her home away with the
man called Peter.
Now Peter was asking for di-
vorce. She hadn't found the right
time or the right way to tell her
parents. They had always been
afraid of something like this.
Peter, they said, was a nice boy,
but never what you'd call steady.
And when they knew, if they
knew, that he wanted his legal
freedom so that he might marry
somebody else and that somebody
the divorced wife of still another
man, shock wouldn't be the end
of their reactions. They would
think it Allison's Christian duty
to do what she could to prevent
such a monstrous thing from hap
pening. Christian duty had moth
ing to do with the way she felt
about Peter. She loved him.
That was all. Being Allison, she
would never, could never. love an
other.
It had been four weeks since
Peter had told her everything and
had asked her to let him go, four
weeks since she had known that
she would let him go, because how
could she tolerate him, knowing
he wanted another?
UNSTEADY PETER
No, Peter was not a steady per-
son. He hadn't been reared in a
home like hers by parents like
hers. He was an artist. He was
a gifted person, but not great.
What kept him from being great
was the quality her parents feared
in him-lack of steadiness. He
would never work hard enough or
long enough at one thing to
achieve greatness. Of course, if
he had been soberly serious about
life, less fond of its fun, he
wouldn't have been Peter.
For her sake he had bound him
self to a job. 1t was a small job
at first which had turned finally
into something rather fine. He
did art work for one of the great
est advertising agencies in the
country. Beautiful work. He had
a studio all his own. His color
plates were signed. He was very
proud of his achievement.
They had charming home in

GLADYS WANTS HIM
Now Gladys and her nice first

one reason. Gladys was a beauti-

had always had everything she.
wanted and now she wanted Peter.
And Peter wanted her. Or thought
he did.

ployed YOUTH" he said. The direc-
tors reported that 250, 900 youths, dur
ing the last year, went of the N. Y.
A. program either to take Jobs with
private industry or to return to school.
It was the best and most productive
conference we have yet held" the N.
Y. A. director said.
The director disclaimed charges
that modern youth was trending to-
ward radicalism. "All this talk about
Communism and Fascism is another
case of taking . minor and insig-
nificant element and playing 1t up Is
il it had a major significance. What
the American youth wants Is job, "
he said.

mission. to apply to the District for
permission to connect Maryland sew
ers with the District system. 1t would
cost the District some $4,000 to extend
the sewers to the District line.
Prospects Already Approved.
To date the P. w. A. has approved
District sewer projects having a total
cost of S.53625, substantial portion
Of which are related directly to the
pollution evils. Especially noteworthy
are projects for construction of
divorcemen sewers in the Klingle
Valley area, to cost $96,s55, in the
Good Hope road Sc. area to cost
$5s,9oO, and in the Macomb street
area. to cost $47,8oo In these areas
there are now single, or combined,
sewer systems. and in times Of heavy
rainfall. the systems are overloaded
and pollution is given an outlet in to
the streams.
Another pollution problem, out
lined by Maj. Gordon to the P. w. A.
engineers, for some future action by
the District, is completion Of the pro-
gram of dual system Of sewers in
the Luzon Valley area, to the west Of
Walter Reed Hospital
Another project which is awaiting
action is one for construction Of q
enforcement sewer in Portland street
Sc, between Nichols avenue and the
new entrance to Boiling Field. to pre-
vent unsanitary conditions near the
Naval air field entrance.
Further extension of the Oxon Run
interceptor sewer is another P. w. A.
possibility. now under discussion.
The Navy Yard, it was revealed,
presents one of the Districts sources
OF pollution Of the Anacostia and Po-
tomac Rivers. 1t is estimated roughly
that some 100000 will be needed to
provide a dual sewer system serving
the entire Navy Yard area. This is
regarded as a Federal rather than a
District problem
Possibilities of cooperation between
the District and Maryland on pollu-
ton coming from the low-lying areas
along Conduit road, beyond the Dis
trict line, near Glen Echo, also have
been discussed in conference between
District and P. w. A. engineers. To
cure this problem. it is said, the Mary
land authorities are faced either with
construction Of a small sewage treat
ment plant or laying of sewers to con-
nectiOn with niStrict v~oipe Yo <h>
latter case the District would have to
lay mains to the District line, at
cost estimated at some s20.O 900.
