Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Peter Rabbit was just about to ask
if he might 60 along with Chewink
and see his nest when new voice
broke in. What are you fellows
talking about?" it demanded, and
there fitted just in front of Peter a
little bird the size of a sparrow, but
lovelier than any sparrow of Peters
acquaintance. At first glance he
seemed to be all blue, and sucn a
lovely bright blue! But as he paused

wings and tail were mostly black,

The Auctionccr'S Gift

A humorist of wide renown, this
doughty auctioneer,
His joking raised the loud gaffaw
and brought the answering jeer
He scattered round his jests, like
rain, on the unjust and the just.
Sam Sleaman said he "laffed so
much he thought that he would
bus
He knocked down bureaus, beds
and stoves, and clocks and
chandeliers,
And a grand piano which he swore
would last a thousand years,
He ratified out the crockery, and
sold the silverware;
At last they passed him up to sell
little baby's chair.
How much? how much? come,

spent?'

A home is more than a house, and
yet people live as though it were not
true. They build attractive houses,
ill them with comfortable furnish
lngs, and think they have a home,
no matter how they may live. God
Is forgotten, pleasure becomes the
chief object in life, and money is
desired because it buys pleasure.
mtoxicants are freely used both out
side and inside the home, apparent.
ly with no thought of their destruc-
tive influence.
Alcohol burned in stove produces
heat, in an engine it produces pow
er, in a man it produces disgrace
and disease, and in the home it pro-
duceS sorrow, suffering, and ulti-
mately destruction. Why should the
decent and intelligent people of
America supinely submit to the dev-
Rstation of this juggernaut, the iq-
uor traffic? What are you doing
about it?
The lesson for today presents
three factors which make for happi-
ness in the home.
i. Loyalty to Family Standards
(Jer. 35:5-1M.
When the traditional standards of
o family are good and right in the
sight of God, they afford a worthy
rallying point for the younger gen.
grafton. The Rechabites were ODE
dent to the instructions of their
forefathers. The prophet had sub
Iected them to test (not a tempta-
ton, for he did not expect them to
talD in the presence of the Jews
and IN the great city of Jerusalem.
They were surrounded by the unac-
eustomed luxury and temptations of
the city, and now the prophet tries
them further by saying, Drink ye
wine" But they were not afraid to
be thought old-fashioned or queer,
for they knew that the customs of
tASAA Ia W(4C SOOA NSCC SCxs
b:16), and they stood by them.
To depend on that which is good
and noble in the past of our people
Or family, is sign neither Of weak
ness nor ignorance, but rather of
wisdom and strength. What kind of
family standards will your boy and
nine look back to? What of the lit

in the store window which he then
went in and bought? When l see
such things my heart burns within
me against this wicked business
which destroys all of the finest in
men and in their homes.
III. Accuracy in Daily Living (Eph
5:15-2D.
1.-The Greek word rendered cir
cunspectly' ". 80 may be more
closely and simply rendered accu-
rately.' The thought given is that of
painstaking attention to details, I'M

Hull Calls Advisers;
To Talk 10 President
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull called in
his principal advisers today, pre-
paratory to telephoning President
Roosevelt for a discussion of what
Chancellor Hitler said in his Reichs-
tag speech.
Among those thumbing through
stacks of press dispatches at the
State Department were Assistant
Secretary A. A. Berle, jr., and George
Messersmith, another Assistant Sec
retary, who is regarded as an expert
on German affairs.
The department was waiting to see
whether Hitler, in sending copy of
the text to the American Embassy,
as reported in Berlin, had accom-
panied it with a communication
which would, in effect, make the
speech his diplomatic reply to the
Presidents appeal for non-aggres-
sion.
Although the State Department
does not consider the speech itself
as a reply, diplomatic note or a
telegram to the President from Hit
Ter. acknowledging receipt of the
Presidents appeal and stating that
the speech today represented the
governments views in reply, would be
taken as diplomatic response.
Secretary Hull prepared to talk
with President Roosevelt at Hyde
Park, N. Y, by telephone as soon as
he digested Hitler's speech.

Sanatoria Work
Trip Is First Token
To Investigate Needs Of
Handicapped Children

The Board of Education's Advisory
Committee on Handicapped Chill
dren today inspected the educa-
tlonal facilities the District provides
for tubercular children at Glenn
Dale Sanatoria. The tour was the
first taken by the committee in con-
! nection with its study of the needs
of District handicapped children
and the development of long
range program looking toward es-
tablishment of a white and a COL
ored school for handicapped pupils.
The members were shown through
the sanatoria by Supt. j. w. Pea
body and Assistant Supt. D. L.
Finucane.
"The educational program here is
a definite part of the treatment of
the diseased" DR.. Finucane told
them.
About 160 children under the age
OF 81 are treated at the children's s
building Of the sanatorium. They re-
ceive their instruction in two school,
rooms in the basement of the build
ing, the white children group to-
gether in one class and the colored
in another, the committee was
shown. For those patients confined
to their beds, the members were
told, teachers are sent through the
wards daily.
The visitors went from Glenn Dale
to the Dennison Vocational School
for Girls for luncheon, and then
planned to visit the health school
at Thirteenth and Allison streets
NV. and the Toner School. q colored
health school. These schools are for
children with a non-communicable
type Of tuberculosis or who have
been exposed to the disease. They
are taught in special open-air classes
and receive education in connection
with the disease.
A major problem confronting the
committee is just what type of han
dicap should be included under the
roof Of the schools which are their
goal. The members visited the Bal
timore schools for handicapped chill
dren in which all types of handicaps
were grouped IN the same building.
Under the present system in the Dis
trict, however. the children are
divided according to their handicaps,
and taught in different schools.
Among those making the inspec-
ton tour were Mrs. Henry Grattan

Committee; Mrs. Ernest R. Grant,

ton and chairman of the Advisory
