 Stating he would take judicial notice of the decision Of the superior court and the supreme court of errors in the cases oi the two men, Judge Booth said, Tt can't be denied that the conduct Of each of the parties was in violation Of the code of ethics" He added there was no alternative but to disbar the lawyers.
 NeatAer of the men nleo aaaSWelS in superior court to the papers filed by the Bar Association asking the two men to show cause why Gisci- plinary proceedings should not be taken by them. States Attorney Fitzgerald pointed out that each receipted for copy Of the papers but did not take heed of the speci- fled time for submitting answers.

 ~N0rthwest of. Stalingrad, Soviet troops repelled an attack and wiped out about l50 of the enemy. On another sector, Soviet scouts pene- trated the enemy's lines and an- initiated scores"
 The Germans were openly court ing disaster at Stalingrad, al- though the forces they employed in this, the S2nd day of the city siege, were smaller than they had used in the beginning of their costly of- fensive.
 The defenders had made full use of a preceding Hull to improve and fortify their positions. Presumably. the Germans were trying to make good Adolf Hitler's promise that Stalingrad would be taken or se- cure winter positions for them- selves. or both.
 Any day, terrible blizzards will sweep Stalingrad and the bleak Steppes about 1t. Tn such weather, which will hold until Spring, neith- CT Germans nor Russians can fight. The Germans have no shelter, and dispatches from Stalingrad had asid they must retreat 70 miles across the Don river, where it is milder, soon or freeze to death.

wherever there is human suf- fcfing," says Dr. Moss, wherever there are needs for food, for clcth. ing. for shelter, for human syra- pathy and understanding, for rec reational and occupational therapy Co combat the human devastation Of war. or for the comfort of spir. itual consolation and guidance = there you will find the Church. working to restore mans faith in himself, his fellow-man, and his God.
 The person who is withholding complete allegiance from the Church or depending on other channels to satisfy natural de- sire to be Of help to his fellow men in this hour of their deSper- ated need, on the grounds that he considers the Church "otherworld- k" or its attitudes "unrealStic' is simply not familiar with its present program. Perhaps the most significant thing that is be- lng accomplished today is the forging of these bonds Of human brotherhood and understanding tu the name of the Church, in the very midst oi the worlds worst disaster areas. When historians cf the future write their interpretive accounts, perhaps this will prove to bc the real story Of the present period
 Most remarkable k the way irl which the various Protestant de- nominations as well as people of Jewish faith are working together in their missions Of mercy. with out undue overlapping or duplica- ton of effort, and with their sense ot service completely outweighine any iGcaS of competition CT rivalry
 Much of this unity of effort has been accomplished through the Committee on Foreign Relief Ap- pcalS in the Churches. of which Dr Moss is Chairman. This Com mittee represents twenty-one de- nominations in their giving for war emergency needs. These de- nominations direct their war emergency giving largely through eight agencies recommended by the Committee = agencies which arc carefully selected and ration- ally recognized for their long ex- perlcrce in the actual adminiStra- ton of various types Of work called for.

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

At last he got 1t through his head
and drawing a very long breath he
dived into the water and swan
under the old shingle. He was just
in time. Yes, sir. he was just in
time. If Farmer Browns boy hadn't
been thinking of something else he
certainly would have noticed the
little rings on the water made by
Grandfather Frog when he dived in.
But he was thinking Of something
else and it wasn't until he dipped
cup in for the second time that he
even saw the old shingIe. 80
"Hello!" he exclaimed, that must
have blown In since / was here yes
terday. We can't have anything
like that In our nice spring"
With that he reached out for the
old shingle and Grandfather Frog,
hiding under 1t, gave himself up for
lost. But the anxious Little Breeze
had been watching sharply and
the instant he saw what Farmer
Browns boy was going to do he
played the old. old trick Of snatching
his hat from his head. The truth is
he couldn't think OF, anything else to
do. Farmer Browns boy grabbed
at his hat, and then, because he was
in q hurry and had other things to
do, he started Oh without thinking

That certainly was close call. If
I have many more like it certainly
shall die of fright"
Nothing more happened for a long
time and Grandfather Frog was
wondering if it wouldn't be safe to
take nap when he saw peeping
over the edge above him two eyes.
They were greenish yellow eyes and
they stared and stared. Grand
father Frog stared and stared back.
He just couldn't help it. He didn't
know whom they belonged to. He
couldn't remember ever having seen
them before. He was afraid, and
yet somehow he couldn't make up
his mind to jump. He stared 80,
hard at the eyes that he didn't
notice long furry paw slowly, very
slowly reaching down toward him.
Nearer it crept and nearer. Then
suddenly 1t moved like a flash.
Grandfather Frog felt sharp claws
on his white and yellow waistcoat,
and before he could even open his
mouth to cry "Chugarum!" he was
sent flying through the air and
landed on his back in the grass.
Pounce! Two paws pinned him down
and the greenish yellow eyes were
not N inch from his own. They
belonged to Black Pussy. one, Of
Farmer Browns cats.
