Instead of phoning, Keith called for Joan at the library and took her home. sHTake a deep breath and hold on tight" he said, "You're going on that hayride after all" N "Do you mean you're not"
 "You're going, but not with me" he interrupted
 "say-what's this all about?"
 .'Dan webber is going to pinch hit for me-
 An incredulous look spread over her face, but before she could say anything Keith plunged on. Hon est, you'll enjoy it. And you'll probably discover Dan is the swell egg I've been telling you he IS Now's your chance to discover it." Then breaking into grin: T wouldn't trust you with anyone else"
 She didn't convince easily. "Dc you mean to tell me old sour-puss himself consented to escort me anywhere but to the guillotine? Impossiblel What'd you do - threaten him?"
 Keith laughed. Why, the guy just jumped at the chance"
 Jumped, did he? Why, IT bet" Suddenly she paused stared into space meditatively.
 "Okay,' she said, and there was a smile on her face. Maybe Ii have more fun than I expected"
 It was a crisp, moon -drenched late October night. Perfect for hayride. They creaked up Pine Ridge road in two wagons, Il couples in each.
 Someone in the first wagon hac portable victrola and a dozer swing records Dan and Joar were in the second wagon, uE front, just behind the driver. Al arms length away, Tommy Peters fished for some music on a port. able radio he had borrowed.
 The wagons bumped along ovel tlls dirt road but 1t was com fortable in the deep, warm hay.
 Mind if sort of rest my heae on your shoulder" Joan asket without looking up.
 "A pleasure and an honor" Dal assured her, and she tossed som hay in his face with backward flip of her hand.
 Don't be so sarcastically gal lant."

 "Sure - but as far as I knoy a pinch-hitter always does his bes to make a hit"
 She happened to look at tn stars as she spoke and caught tn expression that moved deetingl across his face.
 "Right?" she asked.
 After a fashion, I guess"
 Joan smiled in the darknes! She wondered just how far sh could draw him out. "Okay, ski it. But look - how about tellin me little yourself. Wha makes you tick, and all that soI of stuff

 He laughed and she settled bac on his shoulder. It was broad an warm with a certain solidnes about it that didn't come from hi bulk alone.

Debussy's 'Reverie' Won Forne 20 Years Lote

WHEN Claude Debussy, famous w French composer, wrote his piano composition, "Reverie," he had little thought that it would ever become dance Init" But an American swing bandmaster discovered" the melody, wrote lyrics and made it one of Amer jca's most popular modern tunes.
 Almost overnight, America be- came Debussy conscious. To mu- sicians, however, Debussy was well-known and admired long be- fore swing was born. His ''L'Apres Midi dun Faune," was an imme- diate and lasting success; his many other compositions have been favorites for years.
 Debussy's life is divided into two distinct periods. The first was that of Bohemian, struggling for existence, starving. During this period he married Lilo Texier and with her won acclaim.
 His divorce from Lilo and his second marriage, to the wealthy mother of one of his pupils, marked the beginning of his sec ond period. Surrounded by com- forts, living in magnificent ho- tel, he enjoyed luxury with a quiet egotism that contrasted with his perpetual restlessness.
 Debussy died March 25, 1913. His later years were saddened by the war and the prolonged illness which caused his death.
 The composer is shown, above, on the French semi-postal, issued in 1889 for the relief of unem- ployed intellectuals.

Child Psychology
Dr.. Paul J. Ewerhurdt
Addresses United
UniversoIist Group

A play-by-play account OF the
story Of spinach was given today by
DR.. Paul J. Ewerhardt, director of
the Washington Institute Of Mental
Hygiene, in an address before the
United Universalist Convention to
illustrate erroneous psychology ap-
piled by parents on their children.
Problem children often are re-
suit of problem parents, DR.. Ever
hardt in effect told a conference
group of Universalists who are as
sembled at the Mayf1ower Hotel for
their biennial convention, which
will continue through Friday.
Three Steps Outlined.
DR.. Ewerhardt told of how a
mother could see in spinach some
thing that her child needed.
THE first thing would be to try
spinach gently on the child" he said.
If the child refuses the spinach,
the next step is for the parent to
threaten the child with the loss Of
dessert for dinner. Then comes the
third step. threats and prohibitions
toward the child, and thus you see
an obstruction on the part of the
child, in this case spinach.
Parental anxiety set 1t about,
continued Dr.. Ewerhardt. Chill
dren have no less desire for spinach
than any other food. In recent
years, I am glad to relate, the pop
ular psychology toward spinach has
changed and now 1t faces no more
prohibitions.
For such a situation as he out
lined DR.. Ewerhardt said the an
swer was to bring the parent, in
this case the mother, to realize il
was her own anxiety which created
the situation between herself and
the child.
Forum Period.
His address was followed by a
brief forum period in which q num-
ber of Universalist ministers and
church workers questioned DR.,
Ewerhardt on solution Of human
relation problems which confront
them in their own congregations.
More than 500 delegates had reg
istered at the Maynower this morn
ing for the first general session at
II o'clock, following series of con-
ferences and discussions that had
begun at 10.
A fellowship hour was held last
night for the vanguard of convention
attendants at the UniversaEst Ma
tional Memorial Church, Sixteenth
and S streets NV, with DR.. William
Wallace Rose, Lynn, Mass, giving a
preview Of the program.
Daily sessions of the convention
are being held at the Mayfower
with evening meetings at the Uni
versalist National Memorial Church
Sees Issues Opposed.
DR.. Seth Brooks, pastor of the
National Memorial Church and one
of the hosts for the convention, said
yesterday that Christian principle
versus national policy is the great
issue before the American people
today. He said liberal Christian
leaders will focus the Christian point
Of view on the neutrality struggle
on Capitol Hill.
The United States and the Chris
tian Church today are being haunt
ed by seven ghosts, DR., Brooks said
using the Biblical terms in Joel:
Wealth without work, pleasure
without restraint, knowledge with
out character, industry without mo-
rality, science without humanity
policies without principles and wor-
ship without sacrifice"
