"Bur-r-r-r!" exclaimed Uncle White
wash, the Polar Bear gentleman, as ht
sat up on his cake of ice in the cave
where he lived with the Stubtail fam
lily. "Bur-r-r-r. | don't like to do it
but | must"
do what?" asked Neddie, the little
to go out and cut yourself another cake
Of ice. Uncle Whitewash?"
! mo, the one | have will last unit
spring, l think" said the big, white Pc
lar bear gentleman. But have tc
shave off my whiskers, and don't like
to do it,
Then what makes you?" asked
Beckie Stubtail, the little bear girl, as
she tied new pink shoe ribbon on hel
candy doll, Elizabeth Cora Letterbox
why do you shave if you don't like it
Uncle Whitewash?'
Because my whiskers are getting
so long that they tickle me- he answer
ed. IF don't shave them off they will
tickle me still more, and make me
sneeze, and when l sneeze / wake up.
he explained. THAT is why l have to
shave. And the sooner | set about IL
the more quickly will l be finished,
suppose
So Uncle Whitewash arose from his
cake of ice, on which he sat and slept
for he liked to be cold, as he used to
be at the North Pole. Then he mixed
up some soapsuds in his cup, with his
shaving brush, and sharpened his
razor.
! May take your new, shiny dishpan
| that you bought at the five and ten cent
store?" Uncle Whitewash asked OF
Mrs Stubtail.
What for?" the bear lady asked
"You are not going to pop corn in it,
hope"
mo. I am going to hang it up and
look in the shiny bottom of it for a
looking glass while l shave answer.
ed the bear gentleman.
Then you may take it," Mrs. Stub
tail answered, and soon Uncle White
tickling whiskers with his razor.
AS soon as he was finished, along
came Uncle Wiggily Longears, the rab-
bit gentleman to talk to Mr.. White
wash about getting up peanut party
for sick elephant.
And Mr.. Whitewash was so interest
ed in talking that he forgot all about
putting away his soapy, shaving lather,
leaving it in the cup where Neddie
Stubtail saw it little later.
ooh, l know what l can do" cried
the bear boy, II can blow some soap
bubbles. May l, Uncle Whitewash?'
You may replied the Polar bear
gentleman, still talking to Uncle Wig
gily. BLOW as many bubbles as you
like. but don't get any Of the soap in
your mouth
mo, indeed, I'll not" cried Neddie,
for once he had had a taste of soap
when his mother washed his face, and
he did not like it a bit. Soap tastes
very funny, I think.
Neddie found pipe he had used
once before to blow bubbles, and soon
he and Beckie were having lots of fun
taking turns at the soapsuds in the
shaving mug. First one would blow a
bubble, then the other, and they would
bounce them on the soft rug, the bub.
bles jouncing up and down, like a
jumping jack on the end Of rubber
string.
Bye and bye Uncle Wiggily and Mr..
Whitewash, the Polar bear gentleman,
went out for walk, and, as Mrs. Stub
tail, the bear lady, had to go across
the woods to borrow some sugar from
Mrs. Bushytail the squirrel lady, that
left Neddie and Beckie alone in the

In an official statement to-day the
British foreign office gives apparent
contradiction to the general belief that
an informal blockade of Greece had
been decided upon by the entente
allies. No blockade of Greek ports has
been instituted or is in force and no
Greek ships are being seized or de-
tanned in United Kingdom ports, the
foreign Office statement declared.

is now the Serbian capital, diplomatists
in Athens are advised, the seat of gov
ernment having been removed from
Mitrovitza. now threatened by the
Teutonic advance. The diplomatic
corps has gone to Petch, Montenegro.
In the desperate battle being waged
for Gorilla it is declared by Rome
that the advances scored in the OslaVia
sector and elsewhere have been re-
tanned despite violent counter attacks
The Austrians penetrated the new
Italian lines several times, but on each
occasion were thrown back, General
Cadorna's report asserts.
Additional progress on the Carso
plateau. near Monte San Michele and
San Martino, also is claimed by the
Italians.
