SUBSTITUTE CARRIERS SAY PAY IS TOO LOW Part-Time Mailmen Ask Support for Sweeney Bill in Congress. Substitute mail marriers of Indianapolis are urging Indiana congressmen and senators to vote for the Sweeney bill which would place substitutes on the regular employe list after a year’s service. The substitute carriers arc paid at the rate of 65 cents an hour only for the hours actually engaged in working, but they are liable for call from 6 a m. to 10 p. m., which at the annual average rate of employment would mean about 20 cents an hour, they contend, They also complain that to economize, much of the work ordinarily done by the substitutes is added to the duties of the regulars.

A SHORT LIFE AND A MERRY ONE WAS THE LOT OF DON GARZIA

BY ALICE ROHE (Written for NEA Service) NOW, really, you can’t help saying: “Isn’t he the little fat rascal?” No wonder his mother wanted him painted just like this. Today, if you want to get Junior's picture when he is doing something especially cunning, all you have to do is to snap him. But back in 1549. when little Garzia di Medici was chuckling over his pet gold-finch it was a different story. Then fond parents had to employ a portrait painter, if they were rich enough; if they were poor there was nothing to do about it. Fortunately, all Duke Cosimo or his beautiful wife Eleanora of Toledo had to do when Garzia caught the bird was to summon the court painter, Bronzino. Last week we saw a dignified portrait of Garzia's sister Maria, done in Bronzino’s best manner. But this laughing baby has thrown the artist entirely out of his customary stateliness. Bronzino always painted authentic portraits with the subject looking straight ahead—but how childlike and merry, how unlike the serious little Maria, is this chubby boy. Perhaps it is a good thing for art that they did not have cameras in those days. Otherwise what would we do today for old masters? B B B DON GARZIA was born in 1547 in the Palazza Vecchiu, when his sister Maria was 7. He was the favorite child of his mother, for he was, as his portrait repeals, a jolly. good-natured though sometimes mischievous, little boy. Old chronicles say of her devotion to Garzia: "She loved him as her own eyes.” A sunny, goodtempered, baby must have been a

Clubs Galore Feature Activities at School No. 16

ANY one wanting to join a club, go to school No. 16. This school, at the corner of Bloomington and Market streets, has organized clubs so that all pupils in the middle and upper grades, and many children in the primary department, belong to clubs. Practicing of ideals and broadening of interests are the twin objects of these organizations. The pupils are allowed to attack their own problems in their own way. All clubs are sponsored, but not interfered with, by teachers. The clubs aim at supplementing the school work as well as affording recreation. a a a ONE of the most important organizations is the Clef Club, to which pupils interested in music belong. The club holds half-hour meetings every week. About ten minutes of the period is taken up with a class lesson in piano. Most of the rest of the time is used for the trip around the world, which the club members are taking. With a map of the world before them, the members “visit” anew country each week, learning the songs of the nation, and studying its composers. The tour started in New York. At present, the pupils are in eastern Europe.

comfort to a mother in that gloomy palace where tragedy too often entered. You can see by the way Don Garzia holds the bird so carefully that it is not even frightened as to how kind he was. Even though they had no cameras in those days Bronzino’s work was so perfect in detail as to be almost photographic. Don Garzia's rich, red silk costume, the fine embroidery' at neck and wrists, is all very elegant. About his neck is a golden chain on which is hung a gold bell not unlike those on baby rattles today. The other ornament on the chain, however, is characteristically Italian. It is a bit of forked coral mounted in gold—to keep off the evil eye. Italians today wear this charm against evil which traces its origih back' into ancient times before the Medici reigned at Florence. B B B IT didn't work very well for gay, fun-loving Garzia. Just as Bronzino portrays the baby delighted with a bird, the boy Garzia delighted in animals and outdoor life. Even the lovely Boboli Gardens, surrounding the Ducal palace, where Cosimo moved his big family in 1554 did not offer enough space for Don Garzia’s activity, Here he could run and play to his heart’s content and really develop himself into the fine healthy boy he grew up to be. He was beloved by every one, but he had one fault which led to disaster. When he was told he could not have something he wanted, he started in to tease until he got it. He could wheedle his adoring mother into anything. b a a WHEN he was 16 his father, the Great Duke Cosimo I, started on an expedition to Leghorn and Pisa. He took with him his wife, whose frail health the doc-

HONOR WOMEN’S WORK Business and Professional Groups Have “Week” at Bedford. BEDFORD, Ind,, March 9. Women’s contribution to the world’s work is being honored here this week as the result of a proclamation by Mayor Henry S. Murray designating it as “Business women’s Week.” “Great responsibility rests today upon all women, and in a particular way upon those who have chosen to enter the business and professional world,” Mayor Murray’s proclamation read. “We feel that the progress of women in all fields of endeavor is worthy of acclaim.”

tors thought would be improved by the milder climate of the sea coast. When Garzia heard that' Giovanni alone was to accompany his parents, he started into tease. He was backed by his younger brother Ferdinand. The two boys were wild about hunting and sports, just as their father was. Despite the doctor's warning that the younger boys should .stay at home because of the malaria raging in that part of the country, Garzia succeeded in wheedling permission to go along. What fqn—the open country—the freedom of the chase—all sorts of adventures! But alas, Garzia never was to wheedle his parents again. Within a month he and his brother Giovanni and his mother were all dead of the virulent fever. Eleanora of Toledo gave her life to her adored Garzia. Although ill herself, she nursed him night and day until she no longer could combat the disease herself. BUB OUCH a tragedy could not fail to bring forth the usual stories of poison and murder which folloyed a death during Cosimo’s reign. Rumors were started that Garzia killed Giovanni in a quarrel and the enraged Cosimo killed Garzia and Eleanora died of horror! All the rumors were traced to enemy exiles at Rome. We all know how easy it is to start scandal. It is sad to think that the jolly little boy died so soon, but perhaps he would have preferred a short life and a merry one. Next week we will forget the tragic house of Medici and plunge into the wholesome English atmosphere which surrounded the little girl in Sir Joshua Reynolds’ famous picture, “The Age of Innocence.”

W'HERE will the birds live when they come back from the south? The children in the upper photo, pupils in the IA-2B grade, at John McCormick school No. 30, at 40 North Miley avenue, wanted to know the answer to that question. Now that they have finished their bird houses, they know where a few birds will reside next summer. Pupils in the department grades at McCormick school (lower photo) have taken up soap carving. And they like it. The thrill of creating something has captured their imagination. In addition, the pupils find their English and history
