RETURN COMMENT;
BUNK BEDS.

From Mrs. r. V. L., WGshingtonJ
To say that RICH is an "old
friend" of mine is putting it mild.
I look forward to reading the COL
umn every night and even read
the items that don't interest me
now, for I have found that often
my interest has changed and the
Iuninteresting bits of information
have given me new thoughts or
ideas.
Travel: OF course want to
comment upon the present ques-
ton of travel or not to have travel.
I can't understand any group or
person telling another what to
read! And so also telling you what
to print! Perhaps if they were
in charge they'd do a much better
job? It is much easier to drive
from the back seat, and safer, be-
cause the other fellow is respon-
sible. I believe that you try to
print a "croSS-Section" of your
mail bag.
One step further, If you are to
get your travel information from
the Government, why not make
use of all its facilities? The
Library of Congress will be only
too glad to answer questions about
the books, poems. songs and sim
liar items. And if you had time
to wait or the patience to keep
trying you could locate other
bureaus that would help the rest
Iof us.
To use the column for what
it was originally intended is also
mentioned. I thought it was in
tended for us to help one another?
One very nice thing about RICH
is the feeling of friendliness you
get by reading it. Where else in
such large cities can you find
such neighborlike interest in your
problem? For the brief space Of
one column we are all friends,
people who are just initials on
the printed page. 1t is a blessing
to mothers of small children who
cannot possibly obtain all this
helpful information in any other
"one place." and that place being
right in your own living room
with the children safe and happy.
l wish the schools would teach
comparison geography" which is
much more enlightening than the
regular courses. And it is clearer
to picture another land in terms
of what you see before you and
IN the things you know.
But to get on with what I orig
inally intended to write about
before this travel question came up.
Bunk beds: To the lady who in
quired about these. Recently in
a household magazine an adver-
tisement showing low bunk beds.
made by a well-known company
at a reasonable price, was fea-
tured. They are made in maple
and pine. The top bed rests upon
a four-drawer) chest of drawers.
making it easier to make up and
not so dangerous for the child
sleeping in that bed. The bottom
bed was very low and the foot
slides under the head of the other
bed at night and out again when
making it up. They fit together
in an IL" shape, or maybe used
as twin beds and were very love-
ly. If you would like further in
formation on these you may
write me through RICH.
COOPERATIVE NURSERY.
From Mrs. d. L., Washington.)

would like to know that the Gar
den Cooperative Nursery School

enrolment. This non-sectarian
cooperative school (Which means
