"Ch, forgot 10 say it takes about
two days for the root beer to be-
come ready TO drink" explained
Uncle Wiggily. 1T must stand in
bottles until the yeast works"
We'll. I'll wait for it." Nurse Jane
said. SO the bunny gentleman mixed
the juice Of his roots. banks and
wood plants with sugar, water and
yeast, and put it into bottles.
Let me see now" thought Uncle
Wiggily, as he was tying strings over
the corks OF the bottles, so they
wouldn't pop open too soon, L won
der il put in enough yeast? 1 like
my root beer good and foamy. ]
think I'll pu+ in the rest Of the
cake"
Grandpa Goosey had told the rab-
bit gentleman TO use half a yeas,
cake. but Mr.. Longears thought he
would put in a whole one, so he did.
After the root beer. with the extra
yeast in, was bottled and corked,
with the corks tied in, Uncle Wiggily
set the bottles out in the garage
4 can hardly wait for the root
beer to be ready to drink" said
Nurse Jane two or three times that
day and the next.
I'D like some myself" spoke the
bunny, but the longer we wait the
more poppy, foamy and tickHsh TO
our tongues it will be-"
At last the day came to open the
root beer. Uncle Wiggily had put
some on ice. and when Nurse Jane
sat in an easy chair on the porch
the bunny went to the ice box to
get two bottles. As he took them out
and was about TO open them to pour
the root beer into glasses, all Of a
sudden up on the porch hoped the
Blue Nosed Baboon.
"Oh. ho!" howled the Bah. I'm
just in time!"
do you mean for some root
beer?" asked thebunny. I'll be
glad to give you bottle"
mo, want ears! Ears to nib
blel" howled the Bah.
We'll, try a little root beer first, -
said Uncle Wiggily He aimed a
bGE,le at the bad chap. but the cork
and
Pop Bang! Whang," out flew
the cork, for the root peer had too
much yeast in it. 'Bung!" the cork
hit the Baboon on his blue nose,
making it turn red with pain.
"Oh, wow!" howled the bad crea-
ture. What are you doing?"
Giving you root beer!" laughed
the bunny as the stuff foamed OUT.
We'll, I don't want any more, my
nose is too sore!' cried Mr.. Bah,
and away ne ran, not hurting the
bunny at all
I'm glad l put in that extra lot
Of yeast" said Mr.. LOngears, as he
took Nurse Jane her root beer and
drank some himself. "Ah, but this
is fine!" he cried, and really it was,
no fooling!

Revelations GA Vile sgoA aSssl

The Durkee home. like the one in
which we lived in Marvin, is "A rath-
er ancient structure. and reminds one
\ Of Dickens's Bleak House" in its
unexpected passages, it's steps up and
down into cd dlittle rooms, and it's
wings thrown out from the original
main building.
1t was through one of these dark
I passages that we followed Edith
Fairfax and emerged at the rear Of
the house in the quarters where. in
the stirring days when my father
made his temporary home here, his
/ treacherous oriental man-servant had
been lodged.
! AS l remembered the place-when
after the mans departure upon his
exposure by Allan Drake we visited
his quarters-the second story of the
rear wing was divided into three tiny
! rooms. of no particular beauty or
utility. by wooden partitions. These
I I now saw had been taken down, the
three rooms thrown into One-pat-
emily the orig al design of the build
! er-and a skylight cut into the roof
at one end.
I The result was a really commodi-
Gus studio apartment. furnished with
the delightful old mahogany which !
remembered seeeing in the studio
apartment which the Fairfax sisters
had shared in the city, and TO which
they had brought the few rare pieces
of furniture and china salvaged from
( the financial wreck of their fathers
home in Virginia.
/ Some one, Edith. of course. had
arranged them into marve1ously
close reproduction of the New York
studio home. guessed that the low
ing elder sister had planned this
room purposely. so that if Leila ever
felt strange or homesick in her new
life she would have this refuge in
which 10 pull herself together again.
Mrs. Durkee evidently saw what
did and gave utterance 10 her vision
in astonished accents

studio, However did you do II? 7

up in here. It's wonderful what

come back here and forget she's
married"
She'll probably need t." The
caustc words leaped. I knew, without
lvolition from Edith Fairfax's lips. for
the next instant she had camoufaged
them with a laugh.
( II was a sorry effort. however. and
I saw little Mrs. Durkee ruffle up
like an offended bantam. There still
remained, however. the startled look
I in her eyes which had come there

4 lecture and in questioning her own
wisdom
She has one of the tenderest
hearts In the world. this oftimes pro-
voking little neighbor of mine, and
it can be counted upon to sway her
actions-unless her positively mulish
obstinacy is aroused-then there is
no hope Of stirring her from the
path she has chosen. I fervently
/ hoped there would be no further
speech which might arouse her re-
sentful obstinacy.
It was Lillian, again, who diverted
all our minds by pointing a dramatic
forefinger toward a large and beaui-
fully decorated screen which stood
IN front of a recess in the apartment.
] Evidently It was a closet. the parti-
tions of which had been torn down.
Don't tell me, Edith" she cried.
that you actually have a kitchenette
up here!"
Edith smiled-no one could have
I helped it at Lillian's tone-and
walked toward the screen.
Come and see" she invited.
/ We crowded around her, and ex-
claimed in wondering admiration at
the stationary washstand, its porce-
lain spotlessly white, its faucets shin
/ ing. the tiny kitchen table with cleo
trio cooking things in orderly array
upon 1t. and a small wall-cupbOard.
with all the requirements for exceed
ingly light housekeeping.
You know" little Mrs. Durkee an
nounced. when she had caught her
! breath, II believe this house was a
boarding house at one time! The
woman who kept it fixed these rooms
up either for herself or for the help
she was obliged TO keep. At any
rate, there's a fairly good bathroom
( through that door"--she pointed 10
the rear Of the apartment-"and this
washstand was in that room. But,
as 1 told Edith, she might as well get
the good Of it. for, goodness knows,
there isn't a chance in the world of
our ever having a maid. You and
I Lillian" she turned 20 me a bit pet
tishly. have The only help there is
left IN the world. and, to tell you
the truth. I wouldn't have either one
Of EN- rs a cift."
1 guessed that Lillian was making
the same strenuous effort 10 control
her rlsibles at my little neighbours
feline thrust that was occupying my
own attention. That Mrs Durkee,
though steadfastly refusing 10 be
bothered" with a maid, has always
been childishly jealous OF Katies de-
votion TO me. have long known.
But her catty little Outburst was
a distinct relief 20 me. I knew that
into Il she had thrust the irritation
which might otherwise have strength
ened her obstinacy concerning the
decorations OF Leila's room. And I
was rapidly developing what Dicky
calls one Of my fool lunches" con-
corning her probable action in THAI
. direction.

Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy uses yeast TO
make her bread rise and become
light and fluffy" answered Grandpa
GOosey. Yeast does the same to
root beer. 1t makes it froth and
foam and gives it a nice bity taste
that tickles your tongue like soda

Y see!" laughed Uncle Wiggily.

So he gathered roots. banks and
leaves. and taking them home, he
asked Nurse Jane to boil them into
a thick syrup or extract.

Dear Annie Laurie: am 20
years old. like a young man about
my age, but there is one thing about
him / don't like. and that is he
doesn't dress as we'll as he could I
feel embarrassed when I introduce
him TO my friends. Do you think it
would he proper to tell him how I
feel? BETTY.
Betty: If you care for the young
man, why do you wish 70 hurt his
feelings? And this is just what you
would do were you TO speak to him
about his manner of dressing. 1t
would be most improper and rude
to say anything about it.
You should not be influenced by
his clothes. You should like him
for what he is. not for what he
wears my dear.

CONSTITUTION VIOLATED,
IS JUDGES CHARGE
Decides Against Government in
United States Harness
Company Case.

In the refusal of Judge Baker of
the United States circuit court, sit
ting at Elkins, w. Va, to dismiss an
injunction restraining agents of the
Department of Justice and Federal
troops from taking possession of the
property of the United States Harness
Company, an important legal setback
has been encountered by the federal
government in it's first big alleged
war-graft case.
In the text of the decision received here
the court held that constitutional author
ity had been exceeded by the President,
VIXEN he recently Cancelled the War De-
partment's contract with the harness
company to dispose of between S25. .000,-
900 and s100.OOO,O0 surplus Army har-
ness and that Secretary of War Weeks
violated the Constitution in ordering
troops to invade the premises of the
company. The decision averred that
the government is as amenable to the
law as any private citizen.
New pleadings are in preparation
by the government for presentation
TO Judge Baker on the motion to
dissolve the Injunction obtained by
the company. The new pleadings set
forth the facts under which the Presi-
dent Cancelled the governments con-
tracts with the harness company. .

President Harding every opportunity

Senate who male him"
Let our political leaders make no
mistake" said Mr.. Holt The league
issue will not be settled until it is
national peace and progress there
fore must withhold final judgment
until MIR. Harding sees fit to disclose
the detailed plans of his association.
But this is clear: If he wants the
permanent support of most of the
American people. his association must

better off than they are now with

the one short year of its existence is
well worth preserving. Indeed. 1t is
better to have the present league
continue as it is without the United
States during the term of the present
administration than to emasculate
the league in order to get the United
States to enter it.
"Bu: we cannot wait much longer.
The world is on the verge of Eevo-
