May Segrest. of a senator's wife, of the celebrities she meets, of interesting personal experiences, that sort that for most people constitute the richness of life in Washington, Josephine Black has very little to say. She does not speak glibly of this person and that, of this distinguished gathering or that senatorial dinner.

What is apparently significant to her is something that underlies the glittering surface of things, a force behind a spectacular and endlessly absorbing drama. You see what is going on." she says, "and you feel a compelling desire to know what has brought it about, to understand the thinking of the men who are making history. Otherwise, you cannot feel that it has any meaning for you, or that you are getting anything out of it. Unless you have some background DAY'S Fire-Proof Garages 5 It was the most interesting experience because the president is the most vitally alive, the most in teresting person in public life. He has the greatest zest for living, the most real enthusiasm for everything.

I think that quality of vitality and his innate kindness are the" two things which make him so complete a success with everyone he meets. No one can feel any self-consciousness in his presence He is too in-j terested in what you are doing, too well able to give the full force of his sympathy and understanding to I whatever you have to say. And the president's knowledge is astounding. Whether youre talking i about China or period furniture, or books or cotton, it's all the same, i He knew more about Alabama than I did. I was impressed by the count-j less problems with which he has to deal and the various things he must have constantly on his mind, and I asked 'Mr.

President, how do you get through the day? he said, I love it every minute of it. That's the sort of person he is.

INTRODUCTIONS PLANNED BY KATE DUNCAN SMITH When the wife of Alabama's jun-; ior senator was interviewed in 1926. just after her husband had been elected to the Seriate, she described herself as a "home girl. "Some women," Josephine Foster i Black said, are destined to take I their place in public affairs and some are best fitted to stay at home.

I think I belong to those whose place is at home." Prediction Comes True Now, nine years later, her prediction has come true yet it hasnt. In Washington, the people who see Mrs. Hugo Black from day to day will tell you that she has done a lot more than be a good mother to two enterprising sons and a lively young daughter. She has found time to go to school, to take courses i at a university, to read, to work, to study. Most of all.

she has been interested to hear as much as possible of what has been going on in the Senate. When she went to Washington in 1926, the youngest Senate wife' at I the national capital, she was a little frightened by the vastness of everything, by the solemnity of procedure, the manifold intricacies of public life. She is no longer frightened. Nine years in Wash- ington, years of mingling with the great and the near-great, of being on the inside of what historians call the greatest show on earth, have dissipated any fear she may once have felt. But outwardly, she is just the same.

The same gentle manner, the same unaffected simplicity, the all-pervading sense of humor and unfailingly high intelligence which made her a notable person in Birmingham are the qualities which make her an individual of distinction today. Every part of life in Washington she finds intensely interesting. You're always conscious that a tremendous drama is being unfolded, she says. You feel that history is being made all around you.

Twin Are Interesting The twins are interesting boys. Despite their handicaps, they are making remarkable progress. When one realizes that for five years they emain in bed, had to be fed and dressed, one wonders the more at their vast improvement in the last few years. They can feed themselves with much more precision than the average child. They dress themselves completely except for tying their shoelaces.

They can walk by the help of holding on to objects, and are marvelously strong in their arm and shouldler muscles. They enjoy motion pictures. Perhaps the greatest thrill of their rather secluded lives is to go occasionally to their fathers church and listen to an evening service. So attentive are they to the prayers and the songs and Ihe sermon that just to watch them is a soul-stirring experience. In order to teach them to walk as best they can, their parents have had made for them every sort of contrivance.

At the present time, the boys are being taught to swim. They enjoy meeting friends and they never forget the name of any person they meet. They delight in stories and remember each story and the characters in it. They will sit by Ihe radio and listen for hours to the music. They delight in hearing music with which they are familiar.

They come by this naturally because their mother, a concert WESTINGHOUSE FANS and talks and becomes a normal human being. Brain-Injured Children Dr. Carlson himself did not walk until he was 21 years old. Everyone thought that because he did not walk and talk as other children, he was mentally handicapped. Dr.

Carlson was a brain-injured child. To walk with the feet a person must first walk with the brain. One talks with the brain and then with the vocal cords and the lips. The new discovery about this sort of child was that when the brain was injured, the area around the injured section could be reeducated and the child made well. 'This is being accomplished now with hundreds of children who before this were considered practically hopeless.

There are 60,000 such brain-injured, crippled children in America. It is, of course, a long procedure and must be done patiently by competent trainers. Dr. Carlson has established his school for training this type child at Miami Beach, Fla. It is there thal Dr.

and Mrs. White hope to send their children irr the next few weeks. They desire above everything else in this world the opportunity for these boys to walk and live as other boys do. They have done everything possible in these 16 years to discover the boys trouble. KENTUCKY Announces the Appointment of A.

and Mrs. White have searched everywhere during these 16 years for the answer to their boys trouble. They have seen every great specialist in the field of brain and nervous situations and have exhausted their resources in these treatments of every kind. It was only year before last, in Dr. Carlson's institute, that they learned what the real trouble is and that by proper training that trouble can be corrected.

To this end the Baptist pastors of their own accord at their meeting last Monday morning decided to share this responsibility with Dr.
