paper Syndicate)
Bv HOWARD X. GARlS

Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy was out in
the kitchen one day, making "a carrot
shortcake, when all of sudden there
sounded loud crash in the living room
of the hollow stump bungalow.
! "Merciful goodness! Something had
happened to Uncle Wiggily," cried the
muskrat lady housekeeper, for the
bunny rabbit gentleman was in the liv-
ing room.
Dropping the pan in which she was
mixing the cake, and with her paws
covered with flour, Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy
ran to the door of the living room. In
the center of the floor she saw Uncle
Wiggily sitting down, and about him
were the arms, legs, seat and back OF
his easy chair
"My goodness, Wiggy! What are you
doing?" cried Nurse Jane.
Nothing now I'm not doing any
ithing." answered the bunny rabbit
easy like and unconcerned. It's all
Idone.''
"But what did you do?" asked
Nurse Jane. "Surely something hap
pened, Uncle Wiggily."
"Yes," was the answer, something
happened. My chair broke with me
and / fell"
"It's Wonder you weren't hurt, "
went on Nurse Jane. How did it
Ihappen9"
"Well, either l am getting too
heavy, or the chair is too weak to hold
me up any more" answered the bunny
rabbit. "Not that it much matters,
for here l am, and as for the chair,
l III throw it out for junk!
"Oh, don't do that!" cried Nurse
Jane. "Perhaps the chair can be
mended. All 1 see broken arc the
llegs. They can be glued in again.
"I'll never sit in it. laughed Uncle
lWiggily, "and | wouldn't want Mrs.
Twistytail, the pig lady, to sit in it
even after it is glued She would break
down.
| "Maybe," said Nurse Jane. q" But
don't throw away the broken chair
| IN sure you can mend it and it will
do for some animal children to sit on
when they come to see you. They are
not very heavy. Do, Wiggy, get some
Iglug and mend your broken chair

|''As you say, the legs are about all

Reaching the hospital of the Monkey
Doodle doll doctor, Uncle Wiggily
lasked for some very strong glue.
Here is some glue that would even

Ichucklcd the Monkey Doodle.
"Then it ought to mend my broker

"Why?' asked Uncle Wiggiy, look

broken chair. He put some glue on
each of the four legs and then stuck
the legs in the holes underneath the
chair seat. Uncle Wiggily pressed the
legs into the seat, leaving the tube OF
glue on the chair bottom.
"There, | guess that will be all
right" said the bunny as he stood up
and looked at the broken chair, which
was now mended.
"And your ears will be all right,

toward Uncle Wiggily. The bunny
waved paw toward the. mcnded

Dry Fleet on Great Lakes Shows Cash Profit of S13,OOO in
 Month.

Detroit. Mich, Aug. Michigan { Prohibition Navy" said to have been scoffed at by government officials ir Washington, has been vindicated. ac- cording to James R Davis. federal prohibition officer for Michigan and father of the navy idea.
 The Navy" consists of a fleet of high powered launches that patrols Detroit rivers to retard the flow of illicit liquor into Michigan from On- tario Since 1t began operation July 1, the fleet has seized and con1scated II boats used by alleged rum run- ners. Ghese boats have an aggregate value of S22,o00 to the government as they are held in bond Expenses of the navy during the time have been less than s9ooo, including the original investment for the fleet
 MT. Davis estimates that at public auction the seized boats will bring at least s15,ooo, giving the government a clear profit to date of s6,o00 And the navy still is in operation, Mir. Davis points out.
 The officer says he argued in favor of the fleet for months before the Washington officials who opposed the undertaking on the grounds it would be expensive, yielded to his wishes
