UNCLE WIGGILY AND
GRANDPA GOOSEI.

pa Goosey Gander is out in front,
flittering his wings and waving one
leg, as If he wanted you to come
out"
"He does!" exclaimed Uncle

well, maybe we shall each have
one," laughed Uncle Wiggily. Then
he and the goose gentleman, or
"gander," as they are called,
started off together, as two good
friends as you would find in a
days walk and part of another.
As Uncle Wiggily and Grandpa
Goosey went slowly along together
(for the goose gentleman could not
go as fast as the rabbit), all of a
sudden a savage dog rushed out at
them. 1t was not Jackie or Peetie
Bow Wow, nor good Kind Percival,
nor yet the Police Dog, but a cross,
ugly barking chap. Perhaps he
knew no better than to growl at
Uncle Wiggily and Grandpa Coos
ley. And it seemed as IL he would
bite, too. for he showed his teeth.
Come on! Run, Grandpa
cried Uncle Wiggily, and he started
to hop away In big, long Jumps
such as all rabbits take. Uncle
Wiggily forgot that goose gen.
tleman can not run very fast.
But Grandpa Goosey knew how
to deal with dogs. So, instead OF
running away, Grandpa Goosey
stretched out his wings very wide
and held out his neck long and
straight, and he looked so very
fearful that the dog gave howl
and tucked his tail between his
legs and away he ran, not to say
"scooted."
Hal Hal" laughed Uncle Wig
gily. "You scared him very prop
erly, Grandpa Goosey. I didn''
know you could make yourself
look like a turkey gobbler."

however, and the fact is not op-

again talked over the naval situa-
ton today in Secretary Hughes Of
flee.
The American group has no doubt
that American Pablo opinion fully
supports the 5-5-3 ratio. 1t was made
clear that if the question of national
security brought up by Vice Admiral
Kato were considered, a ratio of even
10 to in capital ships as to Japan
would not adequately express Amer
lean or British needs
1t was for that reason that the
American plan discarded any attempt
tC calculate fleet ratios in terms of
national needs. There was no way
from that standpoint, it was said, au-
thoritatively, to give Japan a proper
ticn of more than 80 per cent or the
strength of any other power.
So, it was added, the scheme OF
calculating in capital ship tonnage the
present existing strength OF each of
the three major navies and cutting
off urther building by agreement was
worked out. To induct an agreement
