GROWING MORE SERIOUS.

There was time when It was impossible for an!
but the frothiest sort OF book to gain wide circu
lation. The rule that only adventure mystery and
love stories attracted circle Of readers large
enough to merit attention had but few exceptions.
Nor have the works Of fiction which are writ.
ten only to divert end entertain yielded first place
even today to more serious books. 1t is hard tc
believe that men and women will ever In large
numbers take UP with the reading Of more serious
books either fiction, or non-nction. Americans
read mainly for diversion and entertainment
Within the past few years, however, there seems
to be in evidence a tendency on the part Of the
public to turn to more substantial reading. Not e
few of the serious books Of fiction ran into mani
fold editions Surely there was little romance and
adventure to be found in Main Street and still not
many best sellers can boast of larger sales than
this book. Mrs. Edith Wharton addresses herself
only to the serious mnded reader, and so It occa-
stoned no little surprise to find that The Age OF
Innocence held its own for months as one Of the
books most In demand.
In the field of non-ficton one Is confronted with
even greater surprises. Here In the expectation of
small demand the publisher puts on the market
at first only relatively small supply Great is his
establishment to learn that the first supply Of .
book like Mind In the Making Is al once exhausted
and that more copies are being demanded.
People of this country apparently becoming
more and more interested in books which deal
with sociological problems and phenomena Had
Mr. Wells written the usual kind of book on his
tory it Is doubtful whether he would have found
even a hundredth part Of the number of readers
who are by this time familiar with the book But
since 1t is an Interpretation Of history seen
through the eyes of man who has himself given
us one Of the greatest Of sociological novels, the
book has found an incredibly wide circulation.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
sCRAPPING OUR WARsHIPs.
(From the New York Times,

(From the New York Tirnes)
The naval board appointed by Secretary DENLY
to report upon the scrapping Of warships has re-
commended that latter the removal of all desired
material they be disposed of by sale, unless sunk
by gunfire." According to the directions in Part
Of the naval treaty "a vessel to be scrapped must
be placed in such condition that it cannot be put
to combatant use" This must be effected by sink
ing; breaking the vessel up, which requires the
destruction or removal of ell machinery, boilers
and armor and all deck side and bottom plating;
or making target Of the vessel To sink the con
demned ships at sea would be to forego the oppor-
tunity of salvage whatever they would bring at
public sale. Taking the obsolete pre-war battle
ships into deep water for the ceremony Of sending
them to the bottom--the Virginia, New Jersey,
Rhode Island and about ten others-would furnish
copy for descriptive writer's but would be a
wasteful proceeding.
IT is curious sequel OF the war that Germany
scrapping Of warshps" Not only England, but
Russia and France have been bargaining with the
ships. 1t is reported that Great Britain has CON
tracted for the dsmantng of six batteships eight
cruisers and twelve destroyers These vessels
which were condemned before the meeting of the
Washington conference. Soviet Russia has sold
ten obsolete warships to German firms for de-
struction The Nautical Gazette made this peril
nent statement recently ION ships broken up in
England the Admiralty loses money the price OF
scrap metal being Inadequate to cover labor COSTS"
This should be satisfactory answer to the ques-
ton whether it wouldn't pay the navy department
to break up warships in government yards But
shilings per ton the expenses Of taking ships
to German ports and the cost of destruction
| Roughly speaking, the sum or t4O.OO0 would be
saved on 20.000-ton battleship turned to the
Germans. The cost Of taking discarded hulls across
the Atlantic to be broken up would be so great
that the navy department cannot well consider
making terms with German wreckers Moreover
sentiment in this country would be opposed to such
a disposition OF once treasured battleshps of the
United States navy.
Sales can doubtless be made to advantage to
American firms. The Germans have converted
some of the cruisers allowed them into merchant
vessels. Why couldn't the thing be done
here? Our warshps sold at auction would prob
ably bring prices exceeding the reckoning Of the
navy department.

WHERE DANGER TURKS.

Union labor has been withstanding the moral
stress of period Of recession in wages, in splen-
did fashion. Hundreds Of thousands of workers
have been out strike most OF the time this year.
Whether the strikes wise or justifiable is be-
side the question. The subject which interests us
just is the small amount of lawlessness which
has accompanied these strikes and lockouts It
speaks well for the elf-discpline of the average
American union man.
With 100000 coal miners on strike during the
past six weeks, Gallup is the only place in the
United States where governor professed to believe
it necessary to send troops far we can learn,
When contemplate the high percentage of for
eign born men in the coal mining industry. the
peaceable nature Of this strike is amazing Again
we say that it speaks well for the union men,
Now comes the first really serious reflection
upon union labor. group Of Chicago labor lead
ers have been indicted for the nstigation Of kill
ings and bombings as protest against the Lands
wage award. It is unfair to pre-judge these men
and thereby to condemn labor. If it be proven
that these men are guilty, they should be given the
extreme penalty of the law. Union labor will de-
stroy itself IL it to the defense of its lawess
members after guilt is proven.
Unonism Withstand any kind Of strain
except the public resentment against resort to
force Public sentiment will tolerate such extra
legal and direct action conduct.
II these Chicago leaders guilty they should
be repudiated by the unions What they may have
done without instructions Is not properly charge.
able to the unions IL the unions later attempt IL
Justify the conduct of these men, 1t assumes re,
sponsibility.
For the unions TO see TO It that proper lega
defense is made for these men should not be re-
rarded as sympathy with lawlessness The Law
presumes these men to be innocent until proven

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CHIMNEY BIRDS.

"Well, what have you for me
to take with me this morning 2"
asked Uncle Wiggily one day, as he
started out of his hollow stump
bungalow and saw Nurse Jane on
the stoop with a bundle. us that
another loaf of bread for some OF
my animal friends?"
This is chocolate cake an
swered the muskrat lady house
keeper. II baked two---one for
you, and thought Mr.. Stubtail, the
gentleman bear, might care for the
other"
IF Mr.. Stubtail is anything like
me he surely will care for choco-
late cakew laughed Uncle Wiggily.
"Pll leave 1t at his house as / 60
adventuring."
THANK you," remarked Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy. she handed the che
colate cake in little basket to I'm
Gle Wiggiiy and the bunny rabbit
gentleman felt SO jolly as he hop
ped along that he twinkled his pink
nose and also sang little song.
wish l could sing the song for
you, but I'm not allowed to do so.
The best / can do is to hum 1t. But
it was about a funny little pussy
cat, who hadn't any tail, and when
she went out walking she rode in
the water pail.
AS Uncle Wiggily sang and twin
killed. his pink nose he hoped along,
carrying the chocolate cake. And
once, as he jumped over a puddle
of water, the cake slipped from the
basket and fell to the ground.
but it isn't hurt much" said the
bunny rabbit to himcelf, as he
picked the cake up. Its just dent
ed little on the top, and Mr.. Stub
tail won't mind that"
Uncle Wiggily put the cake back
in the basket and was about to hop
on again when he heard some gem
tie voices asking:
May we pick up those crumbs? 2"
"What crumbs?" asked Uncle
Wiggily.
THE crumbs that were knocked
off the chocolate cake when it fell
out of the basket" went on the
voices, and then the bunny saw
number of birds perched on a tele-
graph wire over his head. vi
why, of course, you may pick
up those crumbs" Uncle Wiggily
replied. "They are of no use to
Mr.. Stubtail or me. IL you are
very hungry l could even give you
a slice of his chocolate cake"
"Oh, we don't like to trouble
you!" twittered the birds, bashfuI
like.
mo trouble at ALL" exclaimed
Uncle Wiggily, who was the kindest
bunny in all the world. With that
he cut a piece of cake with a sharp
stick he picked up from the ground
and, breaking the cake slice up in
to crumbs, he scattered them over
the ground.
"Oh. thank you" twittered the
hungry birds as they flew down to
pick up the crumbs.
Pray do not mention it," an
swered Uncle Wiggily, as he hoped
on to Mr.. Stubtails house. II Won
der what sort of birds they were,"
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1922-05-13
Oh thank you'll tMittered
the hunsry birds

thought the bunny. "They skim
through the air very swiftly" And,
il the bunny had only known, one
of the names of the birds Is swift
the other name being swallow.
Some day we may do you IA
vor." twittered the swallows, as the
bunny hoped away.
Uncle Wiggily left the chocolate
cake-one slice being off-for Mr..
Stubtail, and the bear gentleman
said he was very glad the bunny
had fed the birds. Mr.. Longears
visited a little while with his
friend, Mr.. Stubtail, and then hop
ped back to his bungalow.
When he was almost there Jackie
and Peetie Bow Wow. the two lit
the puppy dogs, came running to
him barking:
ooh. Uncle wiggily! Your bung-
allow Is on fire! Your bungalow Is
on fire!"
"Oh, my goodness me sakes alive
and a bottle full Of soap bubbles!"
cried Mr.. Longears. How did 1t
happen?"
He hoped on with the doggie
boys and, reaching his bungalow,
he saw a cloud Of smoke all around
it. But Percival, the kind police
dog. called out:
Don't get excited, Uncle Wig
gily. Your bungalow isn't burning.
The chimney is just stopped up, and
when Nurse Jane started fire in
the parlor stove to take the chill
off, the smoke poured out into the
rooms. There is no fire"
II am glad of that" said Uncle
Wiggily. "But IL the chimney Is
stopped up what shall we do?"
Let us help your called some
voices from the air. Looking up
Uncle Wiggily saw the same birds
he had fed with chocolate cake.
1--WE are chimney swifts, or swal-
lows" said one of the birds. 1--WE
often perch in chimneys, holding
on to the bricks and sticking our
stiff tails in the cracks to keep US
up. We know all About chimneys.
If you like, we will see what has
stopped yours up"
Il wish you would be so kind"
said the bunny. So, after the fire
had died out, the swallows flew
into the chimney. They found that
the winter winds had blown the
chimney full OF straw and little
sticks, as we'll as dried leaves.
But we'll soon clean this Chin
ney for you, as you were SO kind
to us!" twittered the swallows,
"We'll take out the leaves. straw
and sticks and use them in making
nests for ourselves" So the birds
ibid this and soon the chimney was
clear and the smoke could go up
when Nurse Jane built fire.
Swallows are certainly useful
BIRDS" thought the bunny. They
can unstop chimneys as well as they
can eat the mosquitoes and other
bugs that bite" And this is very
true. "
So If the electric light doesn't go
out in the dark and become so
frightened that the match has TO go
to bring 1t in, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and the drum
bird.
