October

October tries to muster
A blizzard, but In pdin,
For stil the toild grapes
cluster
And softly falls the rain.
She fashions gold and copper
To make an oaken crown
And broUn nuts, from her
hopper,
Come dancing gayly doipn.
"A fen brdUe birds are singing,
Though frost has touched
the land,
And poldenrod Is finDing +
It's flags on epery hand.
Let breezes sometimes bluster,
October's reign shall last,
While, Hunters Moon adds
liister
As Autumn dances past.

BROAD BRANCH ROAD.
Dear Sir:
"Bees and / get along wen
together.
"One memorable visit that
I have had was to q farm in
Minnesota devoted entirely to
the production Of honey. 1t
was shipped from that farm
by the carload.
Earlier in the summer we
had q bed Of Shirley pop
pies.
"One morning / noticed the
bees humming loudly.
Their song was coming
from the poppy bed.
ION going closer. I saw that
every blossom had three or
four bees in the center.
"The place was crawling
with them. They acted eager
and heavy. They were anus
ing, too, because they seemed
to be hurrying to be sure that
each one got as much nectar
Tor opium, or whatever it
was) as his neighbor in the
flower.
This visitation continued
Just as long as the poppies
were in bloom. Since then
there has been only an occa-
sional bee in the garden.
Perhaps intoxication is too
strong a word, but their ac-
tions seemed to me a bit
more enthusiastic than they
exhibit when just collecting
honey.
''Very sincerely, r. H."
Bees, cats, people
All admire the big poppies.
Nothing In the average yard
attracts as much attention.
There is an electric some
thing to the petals that draws
many an eye. Compound eyes
of bees, green or yellow eyes
of cats, brown or blue eyes Of
people -. all watch these
flowers.
Cats seem to be fascinated
by them. We have watched
many a specimen take up a
position in front of a stalk.
and look for a long time at the
bright cup, then reach up a
paw and give it a push.
At no time did we ever see
q cat actually hurt one Of the
poppy flowers, or heads. The
game seemed to be to touch 1t
and make 1t bob. Or perhaps
the unusual color fascinated
them. 1t is said that cats have
no color sense. but we doubt
this; there are cats and cats.

cats look gray at night" goes

Templeton Jones, our gar-
dening friend, found this out
recently.

On Filling the Chest

As against Ine many VINO
have verbally expressed agree
ment with my recent letter re-
garding the Community Chest,
there have been two critical
replies published. Joseph D.
Kaufman veers away from his
original emphasis on the
profit-making potential Of the
installment plan towards gen.
ia1 structures on the principles
Of charity. Paul Chiera seems
to express irritation with any
disturbance Of current Chest
philosophy and methods.

man. ! am compelled to reveal
that ! am, 90 to speak, q char

could alnplify. but am sure
that. with all the facts. he
would agree that moral strict
ures are mutually out of place.

ated II was the Alice-in-Won-
derland advice Of Chairman
Morris to make your ap-
proach when they don't have

mans Endorsement Of the in

my opinion, they violate COM

Something Is wrong when

To Jurisf Critic
BY the Aasoelased Pres.

Marine Corps headquarters

Icized by a State judge.
Superior Judge John A. He

Marines to jail on theft charges

Marine headquarters withheld
comment on the issue until they
asked for and received the full
text Of the statement-made by
Maj. Gen. John C. Mcqueen,
commander of the Marine re-
lcruit depot at San Diego.
The statement said in part
that the Marine Corps "deplores
the fact that it acquires a few
bad apples" whose character
patterns more often than not
ARE already set before their In
Iduction or enlistment"
The general added that this
character pattern ''can often be
traced to q youths home en-
Eyironment or to his community
environment" The general said
also that I'VE do not make bad
boys out of good boys and. con-
Iversely. in many cases. We do
much to make good boys out of
bad boys--if they are not too
bad when we get them. /"
Gen. Mcqueen. defending Ma
rine Corps training, declared
that its principal characteristics
were courtesy, cleanliness, Cod
illness, self-reliance and an un-
lquenchable will to win--all along
with good common sense.

The Department OF Vocational
Rehabilitation. which had been
under Federal Government ju-
risdiction since 1929, celebrates
its first anniversary as a District
agency today.
New quarters at 8l9 Ninth
street NV. help make the OBJ
servance a happier one. in the
eyes Of Director Tom G. Rath-
bone and 81 other employees.
THE 6.l00 square feet we have
now is quite a change from the
1900 we had in Temporary
Building V."Mr. Rathbone said.
The department had long been
housed in the temporary struc-.
ture which recently was moved
from the triangle at i400 Penn
sylyania avenue NV.
One year ago the department.
having been under Federal juris-
diction since its inception in
1929, was transferred to control
/ by the District. The idea was to
place problems such as rehabili-
tation of seriously handicapped
persons at the disposal of local
governments.
Tax Return Stressed
ours is an unusual depart
lment." Mr.. Rathbone said. so
far as I know we are the only
department which returns more
in taxes than 1t spends"
The director explained that
the earning power now exercised
by 500 seriously handicapped
District residents who we're to-
tally rehabilitated by his depart
ment last year, will total Sis
million in 1856.
Figuring on the average, Mr..
Rathbone said It cost the de-
ipartment a few cents less than
1921 to bring each of the 800
persons up from a weekly income
of SAB when they came to him
for help to present income OF
$45.60.
Since the average age was IS
years and 8 months, Mr.. Rath-
bone figures each has 80 years
of working time ahead of him.
And many had thought the world
had ended for them.
Move Still Underway
The departments new quar-
tiers are slowing assuming a SEM

Hodges and Sandy Amoros drove
in all the runs today as the
Dodgers defeated the Giants. 5-3,
to square the series at one VIC
tory apiece. The Giants pulled
a triple play on a pop fly in the
fourth inning.
The victory was credited to
Billy Loes. but it took a brilliant
relief exhibition by Rookie Ed
Roebuck to insure the erratic
highlander his fifth triumph Of
the season. Roebuck pitched
shutout ball through the last
four innings after taking over in
the sixth with the Dodgers lead
trimmed to 4-3 and Giants on
first and second with one out.
Hodges delivered the big blow,
home run in the first inning
with two mates aboard to ch-
max a four-run inning. The
four-bagger, Gil's sixth of the
season, came after the Dodgers
had pushed over a run on singles
by Peewee Reese, Roy Campan-
ella and Amoros.
Despite the big lead. the
Dodgers were hard pressed to
win. Home runs by Whitley

The Giants blew another scor-
ing opportunity in the seventh
after Lockman and Alvin Dark
lined back-to-back singles with
nobody out. Mueller, however,
fouled out after fouling of an
intended sacrifice bunt and
