some of his souse,"
Il will promised the skeezicks. SO
the Pip began to pull big paws full
OF grass and then. when Uncle Wig
gily and Nurse Jane didn't see him, he
climbed UP on the bungalow roof. the
Pip did, and he stuffed up the CHM
ney hole.
Miss Fuzzy wuzzy. the muskrat lady
was lust putting some more wood on
the fire. TO cook Uncle Wiggiy some
orange lollypop pancakes. when, all Of
sudden, the stove began TO smoke.
Big clouds OF smoke poured out into
the kitchen
"Oh, Uncle wiggily, Come here!
Something is the matter" cried Nurse
Jane, THE stove is smoking like
anything.
Uncle wtggiy, who had not finished
eating, rushed out with his napkin in
THE chimney must have blown
down" cried Nurse Jane. Just then
Uncle WiggiIy looked from the win
dow and saw the Skee sneaking around
outside, All at once the bunny knew
what had happened
ITS trick, Nurse janet" he cried
"A trick to get my souse! The Pip
has a paw in this. He is trying to
smoke us out But he shall not"
muskrat lady. The smoke is getting
thicker and thicker! It's all coming
out in the kitchen instead OF going up
the chimney! oh, what shall we dor"
I'm going To make a new chimney
or stove pipe and put it out Of the
window" said the bunny. I'm let the
smoke out that day through another
pipe
But where will you get it," cried
Nurse Jane
I'm make another stove pipe out OF
lot Of my old black, tall silk hats"
cried the bunny. There must be q
dozen old ones up in the attic, You
get them I'll cut the tops off, fasten
them together into something like u
stove pipe and the smoke win go out
OF them through the window, instead
OF out of the stopped-up chimney"
No sooner said than done. Nurse
Jane got thes old. tall hats, Uncle Wig
gily fastened them together into
stove pipe, took down the pipe that
went in the kitchen chimney hole and
put that pipe in the stack OF tall hats.
Then he stuck the hats out of the win
dow, and the smoke went through them
out that way as nicely as you please.
Pooled again" cried the Pip. as he
slid down off the roof. Who'd ever
s'pose he could make a chimney out of
old tall stove pipe hats? Oh. WOW,
Wuff!" SO he and the Skee got no
sonse-' after all, and I'm glad; aren't
you? And If the Jumping Jack doesn't

Germs and Movies.

The results Of the researches OF Doc
tors Huddleson and Hull formerly Of
firers OF the sanitation corps Of the
United states army, are not reassuring
to movie fans as published in the cur
rent number OF the American Journal
OF Public Health
The fact that germs producing dis
ease Of the respiratory organs tend to
make their headquarters In dark rooms
filled with amusement seekers, such as
movie palaces, Is one on which the doc
tors refuse to disagree Doctors Hud
dleson and Hull only make the certain

Experiments were carried out by
these doctors in the Festhalle Of Cob
lenz, whittier our soldiers used to throng

under all Condtions--Rood ventilation
and bad ventilation. overcrowding and

As there was an epidemic Of influenza
raging at the time, It seems pretty

to see the films. but he need not try
to discriminate between rival films
and rival film houses; he is in about

Of the spacious 35-cent palace as IL he
had gone in the first place into the
cheese and garlic atmosphere OF the
Decent house. There are germs enough
to 60 round at either price.
