O'Shea, professor of educational psychology and nursery school administrator at Pur-: due University, said at the council dinner meeting attended by 850 members. “It must be remembered that as a rule teachers have seen hundreds of children, where parents have seen but four or five and that the teacher has studied child nature and procedure, while few parents have had the opportunity,” she said. “On the other hand the parents know the history of a child which the teacher does not and the parents stay with the child after school age,” she said.

And Felicitate Wife Divorced at Reno

By MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS

Tying strings around her hus- | band's finger as a reminder didn't work for one wife, Out of her sight he invariably forgot. On the day of an important dinner she left an early morning order with a telegraph company. “Send this wire: every half hour,” she requested. So the busy executive received a [stack of commands, which read “Don't forget to get a hair cut.” At 14 p. m. she phoned the telegraph office to cancel the order. Her hus-

band had reported that he had visited the barber. “We're never surprised at any-! thing that happens around a tele- | graph office,” said C. V. Pickett, a | Western Union manager. { The other day a middle-aged woman appeared in the office, carrying a peck of potatoes. “I want you to wire these to my sister in Chicago,” she requested. Another wife brought in a set of keys which she wished telegraphed to her husband in Muncie. “We can wire or cable anything from a lead pencil to an airplane,” “but some people take that statement too literally and don’t realize that the merchandise must be bought at the other end of the line.” This is the time of vear when | telegrams especially turn to expressions of romance. Lovers swear undying devotion, in 10 words or 50: marriage proposals are accepted and | rejected, and quarrels in many lan- | guages are transmitted over the! wires. One man even sent his wife a | congratulatory wire on the day their | Reno divorce was granted. Clerks who take the messages are trained to keep poker faces, regardless of the text of the telegrams.

‘Most Important People’ Hear Supreme Court Arguments

FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 25—Famous people and rich

people with holes in their socks squi

mittee’s ice-cream-parlor chairs today while the experts argued about the

Constitution.

The subject was dullish, but the spectators weren't. hearings into the President's Supreme Court proposals worth while for

people and rmed on the Senate Judiciary Com-

They made the

awed sightseers, who couldn't hear® a word that was said, but who got a good, free look at some mighty celebrated folks. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth sat in a senatorial easy chair, wearing black and an expression of rapt attention, as she puffed on a cigaret. Photo-flash lamps and style-con-scious women blinked when Mrs. Millard Tydings arrived, wearing a new spring gown and hat with flowers on it. She was one of the handsomest of senatorial wives while her bonnet was pretty enough to take almost anybody's mind off the judiciary. The guards packed the vast caucus room with celebrities in all the front seats, which made a sort of distinguished visitors’ gallery. The blue coats were in a spot. They were supposed to keep the reserved seats for big shots, but many a woman, with only square chin and scowl as credentials,

bluffed her way to a chair among the mighty. Numerous senatorial wives joined Mrs. Tydings. Congressmen deserted their own proceedings to listen to the court argument. Two score newsmen leaned forward with pencils poised to record every word. As the day wore on they began to vawn. Neatly uniformed messenger boys had the best seats in the house, along the wall at front, but it was marble-playing weather, and the words of the witnesses droned endlessly. The crowds, mostly visitors to Washington on their spring vacations, streamed in and out. It was a good show; a little long and drawn-out, but colorful enough to suit anybody — and important enough to attract the Capital's most important people, a feat which few Senate -committee hearings accomplish.

Fathers Due

To Witness School Show

Orchard School Pupils to Repeat Operetta Today.

By BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor Orchard School pupils’ fathers us= ually get second-hand news of school activities. But tnis afternoon they saw for themselves what sons and daughters are doing in extra-curs ricular projects. Mothers always attend Thursday morning assemblies when the chile dren offer special entertainment, But the fathers are in their offices. Today the schedule was changed so that the men can witness late this afternoon an operetta, “Han= sel and Gretel” and a tumbling and acrobatic program given three weeks ago. Miss Frances Wishard, the music teacher who directed the production, played piano accompaniments. The gymnastics following the operetta demonstrated the ex« ercises the children practiced during their daily 30-minute indoor recesses in the gymnasium this winter. " n F-3 Miss Marjorie Jean Mueller, a former Orchard pupil, is to arrive to= morrow from Wellesley, Mass., where she has been attending Pine Manor College. She will be with her par=ents, Mr. and Mrs. Clemens Mueller. Miss Mary Sheerin Kuhn, daugh-= ter of Mr, and Mrs. Walter W, Kuhn, and Miss Laura Sheerin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D., Sheerin, came home together yesterday from Connecticut College for Women. Mr. and Mrs. Harold L. Tharp this morning met their daughter, Miss Betty Tharp, who came from Smith College. Miss Judith Preston, a Wells College student, is another one of the vacationers expected back Saturday. She will be with her mother, Mrs. F. Allison Preston, dur= ing the vacation. Mrs. H. Edgar Zimmer went to Norton, Mass., to be with her daughter, Miss Jane Zimmer, a Wheaton College student. Miss Mary Louise Merrell, daugh= ter of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Merrell, is to spend her spring furlough from Vassar with a classmate in New York and Washington.
