We make all manner of noise about the mAner In which our off, spring behave but we seldom look back at our own childhood with proper sense and understanding. Melons and peaches were always fair game, poaching was common, horse racing on the Sabbath was frequently the recreation favored by your set. But we never lacked deer nor threw stones through the windows of old houses. We never molcstcd livestock unless it got Into our pasture. Sometimes during barefoot season, we washed our feet before tucking in be- tween clean sheets.
 old-timers like Charley Miller and John Robert Street Todd can tell you lot of encouraging things about kids of c quarter of c cen- tury back. Charlcy's strong point was fire-Aghting and running a drum band. Ills flre.fightlng was especially noteworthy because of It's attraction for the youth.
 Charley Miller manufactured an 0ld.style pump fire engine that ran by main strength and ig- noranee. He depended on kids for both of these necessities. That fire engine would, on top speed, shoot Q stream of water about half aS far as one of Nate Beardsley'S cider barrels when fresh tapped. He always had Co get in close to Q blaze and singc off most of his eyebrows before he could render the most effective service. The kids often complained about Che heat but Charley would yell, "AlI Thy hands on her, B0ys!" and edge in 70 close you could smell the blubbcr melting on the fat kids. Hc attended many Q Conflagrati0n In his day, and he kept kids out SO late ct night that parents frc- qucntly warmed them again when they returned from the first toast ing. Charley Miller and Ed Wynn were almost of . type when it comes to fire fighting.
 John Todd was different than Charley Miller. John owned c farm and \ peach orchard. He al- ways drove oxen, or rather ran along beside tho cattle and yelled at them to keep them moving. Ills peaches were an especial teinpta- ton to almost every boy living in tho ncighborhood and he owned an old rcd house where you could keep corn silk, pipes, and cigar etc papers safely. When tho youngsters met in John Todd'S old house, smoke rolled out the windows in such pillows aS to cause many Q passorby to whip up the horse and get through the cloud before the animal suffocat- ed.

4F YOU are parent who likes to boast about your
baby - and what parent doesn't? - it's only fair
u that you should know Baby Weems. For this intel
lectual infant is challenge every bright baby and
every proud parent in the land.
We therefore take pleasure in being the first to pre-
sent to you this infant prodigy to end all infant prod
ges - Baby Weems, the newborn boy who has
starring role in Walt Disneys latest fulllengh fea
ture, The Reluctant Dragon. and who threatens to
steal the picture from such established stars Bob
Benchley and the reluctant dragon himself.
pABY WEEMs is Walt Dsneys newest brain child.
- And though you can't get Walt to do much talking
about his flesh blood children he really goes
to town when he starts boastng about Baby Weems.
Boasting It's outright Dragging compared to the stories
average parents tell about our average babies
Does your baby say 'Da da' and Goo? Baby
Weems talking sense and sentences when he
two days old.
Does your baby sing in his crib? Baby Weems wrote
his own symphony morning before getting his bottle
- and then. after he had been fed and bubbled, he
conducted it, too.
Does your baby smash rattles and anything he can
get his hands on? Baby Weems smashed atoms and
awed the men of science with his intellect.
pETwEEN changes, he showed DIR. Emstein how to sim
- plfy his famous theory so that baby could
understand it. And, relaxing against the cushions of
his bassinet he asked George Bernard Shaw questions
that left G. B. S. dunbfounded Everybody 50 busy
boasting about the accomplishments of this superman
in diapers that his poor parents couldn't get word in
edgewise and had to be content with seeing their baby
in the newsrees
But if Walt Disney thinks hes going to stop
age parents from boastng about babies, he's got
another think coming. For, in the end, Baby Weems

qencies CompIicotes National Defense Administration

R. Stettinius, and an Advisory
Commission to the Council of
National Defense. The President
was at the head Of them all. But
that was the extent of the set
up.
All Centered Here.
Today there are more than 80
agencies, some of them related
and some of them separated into
several divisions, all having to
do with the administration of
the program of national defense.
These agencies are separate and
distinct from the regular Army
and Navy Departments and es-
adjustments, and from the
United States Maritime Commits
sion. All have their headquar-
ters in Washington.
The accompanying chart gives
the names of these agencies and
fits them into the national de-
fense program administration.
Among the principle agencies is
the Office of Production Manage
ment, headed by William S.
Knudsen and Sidney Hillman,
with its various ramifications.

Unprecedented Growth of InterIockinq Aqen
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

The set up for administration
OF the national defense pro-
gram has become both wide
spread and intricate during the
last two years, so much so that
complaints of overlapping work,
of inability to find the right man
and the right agency with which
to do business are heard in in
creasing volume. The accom-
panyng charts demonstrate the
extent of the growth of this ad-
ministration, the various agencies
and sections of agencies, and the
duties with which they are
charged.
Already it shows contrast
to the more simplifled defense
set-up in the days of the World
War when the War Industries
Board, the Labor Board, the
Food Administration, the Fuel
Administration, the Railroad Ad-
ministration and few other
agencies did the whole business.
War today, however. has be-
come a more total affair than 1t
was in 1917, and America is pre-
pairing for total war should it

and Navy and Admiral Land are
included in the personnel of vari-
GUS boards and agencies that ap-
pear In the tabulation. The agen-
cies listed are so numerous, so
diverse in character, that the
whole presents a puzzle to the
ordinary man, and particularly
so to the businessman who is
called upon to do business with
the defense administration. II
will not be long before practically
all business will be touched by
the defense effort.
Beginning in October, 1899, just
after the war in Europe had
broken out, this country turned
its attention to the question of
more adequate national defense.
A Council of National Defense
was provided for cit had not
functioned since 1921 composed
of the Secretaries of War, Navy,
Interior and Labor. There was
also a National Munitions Con-
troll Board, provided for in the
Neutrality Act, and a Division

ment and a War Resources Board,

be drawn into the conflicts now
raging.
The line of all authority stems
from the President. That was
so when the set-up was small
and simple, in 1899, and equally
so today. One of the frequently
reiterated charges is that the
President has retained all au-
thority within his own hands,
that be has failed to delegate
authority to the agencies which
he has created-such as the
Office of Production Management
and that this failure has
tended to reduce efficiency.
More Speed Demanded.
With the danger Of actual in
volvement in war facing the
country, the demand for greater
efficiency, for more speed in pro-
duction, for a simplitication OF
work all along the lines is grow
ing.
The setup of these defense ad-
miniStration agencies does not
include the War and Navy De-
partments per Sc, nor the United
