DIPLOMATIC HANDCUFFS


The failure of the French debt-refundng commission

NO foreign country can count with any assurance on

Uncle Wiggily began to crawl in the
hollow log. First his head, then his
body and then his little stubby tail
was lost to view. And, no sooner WAS
he all the way inside the log, than the
Fuzzy Fox rushed down the hill among
the crowd of animal children, bark
ing:
"Hal Now I'll get Uncle Wiggilyl
Now II get Uncle Wiggily! ! saw him
crawl in the hollow log and before he
can get out. L II grab him and nibble

The Fox started to crawl, inside the
log, beginning at the same end where
Uncle Wiggily had entered.
"Oh! All! Oh, dear! y sighed the ami
NAL children, while Lulu Wibblewobble,
the duck, quaeked:
"Uncle Wiggily, come out' Uncle
Wiggily, come out There s surely some

There was loud rustling i'm the
dried leaves that filled the log, and
out of the opposite end from where
he had entered crawled Uncle Wiggiy.
He was all leaves and his fur was
rubbed the wrong way but he bravely
twinl;led his nose and said:
"'Not a thing in that log but leavesl .
Oh, yes, there is." barked Jackie.

The latest census figures show the
factory value of the ice produced by
the ice manufacturing establishments
of the United States in 1919 at $137,-
100000, and of ice produced by other
industries $l2,500,000, making Il total
Of about $150,000,000 Experts esti-
mate that natural production of ice on
the rivers and lakes is one-fourth as
much as that Of the marketed ice pro
-duced by artificial methods, or approx
mately $37 100000, bringing the grand
totaf of marketable ice at the place
of production up to $l87 100000 in 1919
the latest year for which figures are
available.
Accepting again the estimate of ex-
perts that the 90 final consumer pays
at least double the price at the place of
production, the total of the sums paid
by the public would aggregate $375,-
100000. Even this big total, il is added,
does not include the enormous quanti-
ties Of ice made by great nanufactur-
ing establishments solely for their own
use and not included in the census re-
cords
The production of ice by artificial
methods began in New Orleans in the
closing year of the Civil War. BY 1880
the factories had increased to 81, and
in 1920 there were 1867. The total
capital invested in the ice factories of
the United States advanced, according
to census reports, from about 81 ,0O0,-
900 IN 1880, to $270,000 900 in 1919.

BY HOWARD r. GARIS

Once upon a time, when some of the
animal boys and girls were playing in
the woods, not far from Uncle Wig
gily's s bungalow, Jackie Bow Wow, the
puppy dog chap, saw a biz fallen log
living amid the dried leave. The log
was hollow, with hole in each end.
And il must have a hole all the way
through barked Jackie to his brother
Peetie.
~ believe it has" agreed peetie.
90 Let S see if we can crawl through. -
''All right.' whined Jackie. You
start in at one end and I'll crawl
through at the other end. Wen meet
in the middle, shake paws, and then
you III come out at the end where
started, and | II come out the end where
you went in.
''Fine funl' barked Peetie.
So the puppy dogs started to crawl
through the hollow log, while Sammie
and Susie Littletail, Johnnie and Billie
Bushytail and Lulu, Alice and Jimmie
Wibblewobble watched to see what
would happen.
The fallen, hollow log was filled
with dried leaves that made Il rustling
sound as Jackie and Peetie started to
crawl in. First the heads, then the
bodies and then the tails of the little
puppy dogs were lost sight of, as they
went in the log. The other animal
children waited anxiously for what
might happen.
"Oh, just supposin'- - began Baby
Bunty, when, all of sudden, out of
his end of the log rushed jackie Bow
Wow, all excited.
:'There s something in that log!" he
barked. 81 heard scrabbling and
rustling in the leaves!"
At the same time Peetie rushed from
his end of the log, all excited, and he
barked:
"There S something in that logl !
heard scrabbling and rustling in the
leavesin
"That Is just what | thought would
happen! " exclaimed Baby Bunty. "We
must 90 tell Uncle WiggiIy right away,
cause this log is in bis woodsl"
Off to the stump bungalow hurried
the animal children. They saw the
bunny rabbit gentleman sitting on his
front porch.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggilyi" they barked,
cried, caekled, chattered, mewed, quack-
ed and chucked, for there were dogs,
cats, chickens, ducks, rabbits and squir
rels. "Oh, Uncle Wiggily, you ought
to come quick"
"What IS the matterg' asked the
rabbit gentleman.
"There's something in your hollow
log cried the animal children. +" Come
and seel"
Uncle Wiggily went TO the hollow
log, followed by all the animal boys
and girls. Mr.. Longears stopped down
and squinted in-one end Of the log.
"AIl | can see are dried leaves he
said
Then he took look at the other end.
+" Nothing but leaves here, too, said
the bunny. ~ don 7 believe there was
anything in that log but you two puppy
dog boys. Each one made rustling
in the dried leaves and that s what you
heard. But to make sure II crawl IN
myself. +"
