Well she shan't have it," rudely
| and impolitely interrupted the wild

The wild cat made a grab for one
of Uncle Wigg0y's packages from the
drug store.
THAT isn't cold cream cried the
bunny as he saw what the bad chap
had taken THAT is"
"Oh, you can't fool me-" yoWled
the wild cat. With that he began to
rub the stuff on his fack and paws,
but he had not taken more than three
rubs before, all of sudden, his left
paw stuck to his nose, and his right
paw stuck to his forehead.
"Oh, WOW! What Is this? What
kind of cold cream does Nurse Jane
fuse! Z snarled the wild cat. mo won
der she is proud! She win be most
dreadfully stuck up if she uses this
cold cream"
THAT wasn't cold cream. "~laughed
Uncle Wiggily. i told you it
wasn't, but you wouldn't listen. You
got the tube of glue by mistake. and
I'm glad of it. Now your paws are
fast to your face, and you are worse
stuck UP than Nurse Jane ever was.
Hai Hal"
Then Uncle Wiggily ran back to
the drug store to get more glue.
leaving the wild cat all stuck up, and
the bunny gentleman went home

did not bother him again that day.
And with the glue Nurse Jane mend
ed the chair. but she put the nice
cold cream on her paws and face,
so everything came out all right,
And if the lead pencil doesn't forget

REPRESENTS SOvIETS ONLY


WASHTNGTON-in a further eff
fort to prove that Ludwig Martens
soviet representative in the United
States, has been a member of and
controlled by the Russian Soeialis'
federation in efforts to overthrow
the American government, Atty. Wade
Fl. Ellis, for the senate eommitte, cross
examined Martens severly about an
alleged courier of the Russian Com
munist party, who was caught in
Riga while en- route from Moscow.
Martens denied having any knowl
edge of the courier incident except
what he read in The New York Times
several weeks ago.
In reply to the general accusation
that he was sub.et to the control of
Russian revOlutionists in America
Martens submitted a copy of a letter
written Aug. 90 last to the central
executive committee of the Russian
Socialist federation by the commits
sar for foreign affairs at Moscow.
The letter reads in part:
"Esteemed comrades: A letter from
You has reached us, demanding estab-
lishment of your control over Comrade
Martens. It presents a number of mis-
conceptions of the most gross charac-
tiers. First, vou have 4 wrong conccp-
tion of the position of Comrade Mar
tens, who is the representative of the
peoples commissariat for foreign af.
fairs. and not of the Communist party
nor of the third international, and
whose duties are determined accord
ingly.
"You have also an althogcther per-
vcrted conception of the inter-rela
tion between soviet authorities and
the local organizations of the Com.
muniSt party of Russia.
"Your attacks upon the official
representative of the soviet govern
ment in America have a very det-
rimental and disintegrating effect. You
are discrediting the soviet government
in the person OF its local representa-
tive, and thereby you seriously damage
its political interests. =
Suit against The Washington Post
for criminal libel has been filed by
Ludwig Martens, representative of the
Russian soviet government, who has
been testifying before senate com
mittee of inquiry for the past two
months.
Martens suit is based on news
story aad an editorial which appeared
in a recent issue Of The Post and
which charged, among other things.
that Martens had admitted before the
senate committee that he was a men,
Der of the American Communist party.
had directed secret organizations Aim
ing at the overthrow of the American
government, had associated with and
melted criminal anarchists to crime.
had attended an unlawful and secret
meeting of anarchists in Detroit and
that he is German revolutionist.
