Danny felt a cool breeze on mis-
face and birds singing all around
him. He seemed to be sailing on a
smooth, smooth sea.
Everything was blue ard beautl-
full. In back of him a flock of blue
birds were flying, very fast. as IL
they were trying to catch up with
Danny. But they couldn't because
Danny a going faster than the
birds were flying and then the lit
tie boy knew that he had passed
right through that flock of beautiful
birds. That was when he heard the
birds singing. He wanted to hear
them again. SO he waved his hands
and called out, Hurry Hurry!"
And the large bluebird that flew in
the lead cried out, we can't fly
any faster. Can't you wait for us?"
Danny called back to the birds,
I'LL drop the anchor of my ship
and wait for you"
Then Danny looked down and
saw that he was not sailing in a
ship at all. but was floating through
the air. And there below him, far,
far down, we're rivers and green
fields, church steeples and houses.
trees and high mountains.
At first Danny was puzzled. for
you know, he began this ride when
he was asleep, but now he discover
ed that he was speeding through
the air on the Sand Mans great big
bag Of sand.
Danny looked back again to tell
the %bluebirds that he wasn't sailing
In a ship and so he had no anchor
TO drop and could not wait for
them. But when he looked back,
the b~luebirds were 10 far behind
that he could hardly see them.
That's how fast the Sand Man and
Danny were travelling.
And poor Danny almost had a

straight on the sack of sand, and
as 1t flew away the bird screamed
something at Danny. 1t sounded
like. Hold on Tight"
Danny did hold on tight and it's
a good thing he did, for just then he
felt himself go down, down, so fast
that the wind whizzed through his
ears and his hair stood up straight
and everything below seemed to
come up to meet him. And then

Danny thought how foolish he had
been to feel afraid of that bird just
because his beak was long and ugly
and his feathers were not fine and
smooth and pretty.

Summer Travel Plans
Begin 10 Take Shape
With Apri|'s Advent
Foirs Destined to
Become FocuI Points
For Average Americans

NEW YORK, April 1.-Spring
winds and April showers mean to the
travel industry that Mr.. and Mrs.
American Citizen are seriously be-
ginning to plan their summer vaca-
ton, and rail. steamship and air
lines the country over are at this
time broadcasting announcements
Of their most enticing summer offer
ings, according to the April survey
and forecast of world travel tend
encies released today by an inter.
national travel service.
The survey points to April as
usually the crucial month in the
long and exciting process of deciding
where the family will spend the
summer.
1t is a foregone conclusion that all
travel plans this year will hinge
about the two great fairs, and
the San Francisco Fair, which opened
February 18. is now drawing about
$4,000 people a day. Between IS 900
and 10000 daily are expected dur
ing the summer months, according to
officials. In New York, the Worlds
Fair will get under way April 30 and
within the next few days of April
large parties from various foreign
countries will sail for the opening.
English, Norwegian and Danish roy
atty, with large retinues, will add to
the international glamour of the fair
during its first few weeks.
In the immediate travel picture,
cruises and Southern lands tend to
hold the picture for early April,
though their seasons are shortly to
end. European bookings depend on
the political situation abroad. and
railroads are at a comparatively
quiet period Of the year.
Anchor Line. Cunard White Star,
French. Hamburg american, Hol-
land American and Swedish-Amer-
lean are planning special cruises
over Easter, while Holland America
and Anchor will make postmaster
voyages to bring the total OF special
voyages for the month to 10. Furness
reports very heavy bookings for Ber-
muda, and Eastern Steamships is
planning four cruises there during
April More than 80 cruises in all
will be offered during the month by
such regular lines as United Fruit,
Grace. New York and Cuba Mail and
Canadian National. \
Also Of interest in the cruise field
Is the announcement that New York
and Cuba Mail will inaugurate re-
duced fares to Havana April IS, also
making slight reductions on cruises
to Mexico: that Clyde Mallory is
planning four special West Indies
cruises for summer and that Clarke
Steamship will offer three special
summer Labrador trips from New
York to Montreal during the World S
Fair. Other special cruises for
Worlds Fair visitors will undoubted-
ly be announced later by other COM
panies.
In rail travel, the survey finds that

Paintings by Children
Of Finland Exhibited

Paintings and drawings by chill
dren Of Finland, assembled by court
esy OF the Finnish Legation. were
put on exhibition yesterday at the
Children's Federal Art Gallery.
Among the timely paintings is one
by 12-year-old girl which shows a
crowd gathered in front of a news
paper Office expressing relief that
the war has been avoided" It was
painted when the last war scare gave
way to arbitration.
Although the climate of the coun-
try might lead one to assume the
children would paint In cool colors,
these paintings are lively in subject
and treatment, frequently making
use of warm, brilliant colors. OBJ
servers considered them akin to the
painting of American children.
Among the subjects put on canvas
are the interior Of a village shoe
makers shop, a Lapland child,
American Indians and fairy and folk
tales. Accompanying the pictures
are examples OF Finnish crafts and
toys by adults.

there are many more inquiries than
usual at this time for summer travel.
Much interest has been aroused by
the special round-trip excursion
rate of $50 (coach), which will allow
visits to both fairs. National parks
dude ranches and othere attractions
of the United States, Canada and
Mexico will benefit from the fares.
The Milwaukee estimates that the
national parks and dude ranches
will show an increase Of 20 per cent
over last year, and the Burlington,
the Rock Island, the Chicago e.
North Western and many other rail
lines report that inquiries are heavier
In number and earlier in starting
than in past years.
All railroads, too, note q good
volume of special movements and
Of small groups. The Santa Fe re-
ports that the San Francisco Fair is
drawing q lot of people who would
not travel otherwise, and the South
ern Pacific reports good trafiic. Un-
usually good February and March
traffic was experienced by Northern
Pacific, which looks for an excellent
dude ranch and park season. Sea-
board and Atlantic Coast line ex-
pect good Florida traf1ic through
Easter.
In Canada both the Canadian
Pacific and the Canadian National
expect the worlds fairs to SOUR
travel. Alaska is already booking,
and traffic to Hawaii is very good,
according to Matson Line, which ex-
poets very heavy summer sailings.
Mexico is expected to pick up short
ly. Other news is that the new
Hotel Vancouver will open May IS
and that a Puerto Rican hotel is
spending $4,000 to improve its
beach.
In South American travel, Grace
Line, Furness and American Re-
publics report very optimistic out
looks. Traffic has already been
stimulated by the Worlds Fair, and
many who ordinarily sail from
South America direct to Europe are
expected to come this year via New
York.
Turning to air travel. the survey
finds that the most important news
is that Trans-Canada Air Lines is
beginning passenger service April l
from Montreal to Vancouver and
points between.

for dinner, after which they are
required to lie down and rest for
an hour. Then they devote two
hours to military drill. in which
they learn the manual Of arms with
their spades-"the rifle of the
Arbeits Dienst and to sports. Two
free evenings are granted each
week: the others are devoted to
camp entertainment.
Military Ceremony at Dinner.
After our inspection of a camp
near Berlin We were invited to din
ner with the boys. The food was
plain, but appetizing. Dinner con-
sisted of potatoes, gravy and meat
balls rolled in cabbage leaves. There
was nothing to drink Some Of the
boys purchased beer after the meal
to take back to their rooms. A
corps of 20 served their turns as
walters. The only salaried person
in the camp, besides the officers, is
the cook.
Military ceremony prevailed even
at dinner. When every one had
assembled and stood beside his place
a leader issued a call to attention
and then shouted:
Learn to obey and some day you
may command"
This was greeted with Hell
Hitler" salute. Then all sat down
Our guides told us that each day'a
selected quotation from German
literature or an example" from
German history is related by the
leader for the boys to consider.
After every one had finished eat
ing, a second officer arose and read
the news. He told us that in Hitler's
Reichstag address the preceding eve
ming, the Fuehrer had pointed out
that the churches receive several
hundred million marks from the
state but the Arbeits Dienst gets a
much more modest sum. The boys
responded to this statement with
considerable kissing.
Then we were informed that the
poor people in Latvia and Estonia
had not been able to listen to Hit
ler's radio address because Of static
interference from Moscow. More
kissing.
After the news summary the boys

sang several patriotic songs, then
were dismissed briskly and returned
to their rooms for the rest hour.
We were impressed particularly
by the leaders. They were clean
cut group of men, young and ex-
tremely affable. They had senses
of humor that at once set them of
from other Nazis we had met. The
leaders maintained discipline, but
won the friendship and respect of
their charges.
Majority Appears Satisfied.
The majority of the boys in the
camp appeared to be contented
Certainly they were being put into
excellent physical condition by sew
en- hours of hard labor per day. We
talked with number of them, as
we'll as with others who had COM
pleted their six months service All
agreed that the success of the camp
depends upon the quality of the
leadership, and We found few criti-
cisms of that. The government
appreciates the importance of good
leadership and has set up COM
prehensiye system to select and train
officers.
The most serious objection to the
Arbeits Dienst and the succeeding
two years army training is that
too much time is consumed. Alto
gether, each youth must give up two
and one-half years of his life to
the German state. Boys contemplate
ing professional lives suffer most
and the government, cognizant of
this fact, is seeking to solve the
problem by. reducing the number
of years devoted to formal educa-
ton. Pre-university training now
requires but IL years, college edu-
cation three, and one year has been
cut from the number required to
become a licensed physician.
With the amazing machinery set
up for standardized education and
youth regimentation, Germany S
present crop Of youngsters has be-
come a mass of believers in nation
al Socialism .. a host worshipine

BY TOM and HARLE DAMMANN.
BERLIN has called the
Arbeits Dienst labor service the
greatest school for the teaching of
national Socialism. Every April
and every october approximately
100000 boys enroll in the 1900 serv-
ice camps for six months period
of training. Each applicant must
be physically At. He must not be
q Jew. And he must not be a
criminal.
We were told that the Arbeits
Dienst has two major purposes.
The first is to teach the princi-
Piles Of national Socialism. The boys
all about l8 years old-live and
work together in the camps. Dif-
ferences in class, education. wealth,
and sectionalism are ignored. Every
effort, indeed, is made to mix all
types and all classes, from every
part of Germany.
The second aim is economic: To
assist Germany In her four-year
plan; to help make the country
self sufficient. Thus the daily work
of the Arbeits Dienst is to reclaim
lands, to control rivers, to prevent
erosion, to irrigate farm lands and
to clear forests. None of their du-
ties conflict to any extent with pri-
vate enterprise or with other gov
ernment agencies.
Camps Resemble c. c. c.
We visited several camps and we
were struck by their physical re-
semblance to the American Civilian
Conservation Corps camps. Those
of the Arbeits Dienst each consist
of number of low, single-story
frame buildings arranged to form
square. One building houses the
dining hall and kitchen. Another,
the general washroom, is equipped
with showers and a long trough
that has cold water spigots, COM
munal wash basin. The other build
ings house the officers in private
rooms and the boys in dormitory-
like sleeping quarters. Groups of
II are assigned to simple. comfort
ably furnished rooms. Each room
is equipped with eight double deck
hunks, and one cot.
The rising hour is 5 o'clock In
the summer and 6 o'clock in the
winter. There is an hour devoted
to setting-up exercises. light
breakfast and the cleaning up Of
rooms. The boys then go off to
work. They march or ride bicycles,
depending on the distance they
must travel. At about 10 o'clock
work is interrupted for another
breakfast, of sausage and rolls. At
o'clock the boys return to. camp
