that he had just gotten out, for he still
wore his nightcap and pajamas. The
nightcap was pink and very long, with
a ussel hanging from Its tip. The
pnjamas were the oldest looking pa
Jamas Jack and Janet had ever seen.
They were light green with red stripes
running up and down and blue stripes
running all around.
What is wanted?" asked Doctor
Fun, again yawning through his long
whiskers. Bobby Bouncer answered
with another rhyme:
baby Cutie, Baby Cutie does nothing
but yell,
What's the matter, what's the matter,
nobody can tell"
Doctor Fun yawned again. "well.
you tell Baby Cutie to do her yelling

failing to give Hines due recognition as
the duly elected leader of his own dis

made by Murphy to unseat him, Murphy
has disclosed himself as the irregular"
member OF the ancient Tammany Hall
institution.
From time immemorial It always has
been held that whoever could prove his

big boss was opposed to him, was en-

COMPANIES TO QUIT

Several large insurance companies IS

at all unlikely that no local underwrit-

months. The companies. however, will
not act in concert in this matter be-
cause such action would SAVIOR OF dis

The action of these companies follows

would be destroyed by fire or other

dollars the owner could not only pur-
chase new Ford. but would have some
thing left over for gas and upkeep for
q while.
The Ford policies contained the clause
to the effect that the insuring company
could either provide the insured with

instances less money than the policy was
