from the window of the hollow
stump bungalow and began tc
laugh.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ho! Ho! Ho.'
laughed the muskrat lady housekeep
Cr.
"What s the mattcr9 What is il
that s 50 funny" asked Uncle Wig
gily, twinkling up his pink nose, fol
he, too, wanted to laugh.
cts Waddic Chuck, the ground
hog boy-I' M laughing at him. - an
swcrcd Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. "He
got a makc-bclievc watch fol
Christmas and it s so comical to sec
him stop, take it out and look at il
and pretend it's keeping time. Come
and look at him."
Uncle Wiggily looked from the
window across the woodland path to
where Waddic stood.
The little grounding or wood
chuck boy would take his dumb
watch out of his pocket, look at it,
shake it, turn the stem winder and
then put it back in his pocket again
and walk along, as happy and con
tented as a humble bee slipping
honey from molasscs jug.
"Ah, it is wonderful to be
young" said Uncle Wiggly. 81
think [ will 90 out and have an ad-
venture, Nurse Jane"
Don't worry, you re young
enough" laughed the muskrat lady,
for truly Uncle Wiggily sometimes
acted just like Il kid, as Nurse Jane
often said.
The bunny rabbit gentleman was
hopping along, wondering what sort
of an adventure he would have,
when, all of sudden, he reached
Il bush, and behind it he heard
voices.
"Pooh! That's only a dumb
watch yOu havc!" said once voice.
"It doesn't keep time at ALT"
"Ncs if docs" said the voice of
Waddic Chuck. OTIS got hands on
1T and it says 10 O'Clock; you see
it it orsn't" and through the
bushes Uncle Wiggily saw Waddic
hold out his Christmas watch to "a
big bulldog boy.
Well, it says 10 O'Clock all
right agreed the bulldog boy.
" But that S all it ever will say
1T viii not! | can make it II

" cs, if YOU turn the hands
yourself. But it only a dumb
watch and doesn't tick" said the
bulldog boy. Your watch doesn It
tick at all it's only a dumb watch
liza! lia! It's only dumb
watch!"
lie ran away laughing, while Wad.
die felt very sad because his watch
didn't tick.
con, dear" sighed Waddic as he
looked al this Christmas watch, "I
wish l had one that licked. Then
the boys wouldn' I say it was dumb
watch. Oh, dcar.''
Uncle Wiggily hoped out from
behind the bush. He felt sorry for
the little grounding boy.
IF you will come to my hollow
stump bungalow, Waddie," " said the
rabbit gentleman, 81 think can
make your dumb watch tick"
How" asked Waddie.
"Comc and see,'' invited Uncle
/ Wiggily, with funny twinkle of his
4 pink nose. And when he and Wad,
die were at the bungalow the bunny
rabbit found chirping cricket who
had come in to stay all winter near
the warm fireplace. -
"Mr. Cricket, will you get ipside

the animal boys will think he has q
real one?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
"Of course I will,' said the
cheerful chirping cricket, and inside
the watch he hoped, Waddie clos,
mig the case.
Then, just as did the cricket in
the turnip watch of old Barney
O'Lynu, the cricket in Waddie s
watch ticked away as natural as
anything.
"Oh, now | have real watch and
it ticks and | can tell time!' cried
Waddie. And just then, in through
the door sneaked the Bob Cat.

THREE SCORE AND SIXTEEN

Commenting the fact that the average expecta-
on of human life in the United States has increased is
half century from Al years to Sc years. the president
of Cornell University said recently.
Through nothing more than increased applica-
tion of scientific knowledge already in possession
i believe would be quite possible to lengthen the
pectaton of life by additional 20 within
other half century,
In the past good deal of the progress in this
gard has been directly the work of the best element in
the medical profession which has gone ahead with its
health promotion and disease prevention and
without waiting for popular approval With an ntell-
igent public cooperating more and more-as it is
coming to do-and with greater publicity for health
measures the prophecy should not be difficult to full
fill.
THE SIMPLEST DIET
There is probably no diet in America simple
than that which the nation Childrens Bureau found
prevalent in the Kentucky mountains. 1t consists al
most exclusively of cornbread, milk and salt pork And
for children at least the federal diecians report it is
better without the pork.
The children are found to thrive diet consist
ting of nothing but milk and cornbreadas long the
milk is whole milk and the cornbread is the water
ground" sort, Containing the whole grain.
Vegetables and fruits, of course, good; but
there s apparently those two simple articles,
thing essential to human nourishment. 1T would be
difficult, says the report, ito find two other foods
which together would be better able to provide ade-
Quate diet
South Sea Islanders have reduced their food
problem to still simpler terms According to Frederick
OBrien, they get along very we'll nothing but fer
mented breadfruit.
Oddly enough, the candy problem has to be reckon
ed with among those Kentucky children. The invest-
gators find that the candy habit" is often started
early in life; and when candy is added to the whole
cornbread and milk the childrens health suffers
accordingly.
There is surely lesson here for children in other
sections, blessed with varied diet The value of
candy especially for children, deticians begin
ming to discover has been greatly overrated and the
evil effect OF over-lndulgence underrated.

MODELS MEN ONLY
OrnorlO ROutolo Says Luxury Has Killed Dynamic Quality Of Women

SdyS hdS Killed Dynamic Quality Of Women
 Luxury is destroying the dynamic force of the modern woman.
 So convinced is he of this fact that Ornorio Ruotolo. sculptor, will not even bother to model her statue. Busts Of men-Caruso, Edison, Lenin he has made in plenty. But wom-
 Suppose" explains Routolo, "a man comes to me to make bust of him. I perceive that he is rich, sue cessful, selfish. l show him as he is and he does not object.
 But would l dare to show wom- an that she was selfish? Or world ly. or cynical? No, she wants to be pretty,
 Talk to her of the beauty of life or religion and she will interrbpt to ask how you like her dress.
 Luxury kills the love of sacrifice which in all ages has rendered the woman great. Women cannot be dy- mamie when they dress themselves elegantly"
 Only twice have women shaken Ruotolo from his determination not to immortalize them in his work.
 The first was Helen Keller whom Ruotolo considers the greatest dy- mamie personality in the world to- day.
 The other was Bessie Beatty, mag azine editor, writer and lecturer who braved Russia twice in order to learn the truth about it.
 But there are other women he thinks approach these in dynamic power. 'Hhey are Clare Sheridan. sculptor and writer; Sara Field. San Francisco suffragist: Mimi Aguglia great Italian tragedienne, and Ellen Jerome, writer.
 Michaelangelo he considers the greatest dynamic force that ever lived. Toscanini he considers the greatest dynamic of modern types.
 And along with him he would place Edison whom he calls the "brother of Prometheus" Lenin, Theodore Dreisey. Konrad Bercovic and Cardi- nal Mercier.

SKELE ETON BURIED. IN POTTER'S FIELD
Identity Of Charred Body Found In Burned Church
 Still Mystery
TUSCALOOSA BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD Tnscalnnan Ala Nnr 1

The charred body of the unidentl- fled woman taken from the debris of the negro church, burned early We'd nesday morning four miles from Tus- caloosa on the Watermelon road, was buried in the potter's field Thursday afternoon under instructions of Cor oner S. T. Hardin.
 Circumstances developed Thursday that the body might have been that of a woman who had been visiting here from Montgomery, but the sher- ifs office communicated with that city and found that she had returned there. Numerous rumors had been run down but nothing has developed.
 A negro man notified Coroner liar din that his daughter 30 years of age was missing but 1t is not be- lieyed this could be the dead woman as examination of the body showed she was not over 20 years of age.
 A man, whose name was not given out, reported to the coroner that at II o'clock Tuesday night he saw car parked on the road near the church with a man on the front seat and another on the rear seat. There were no lights on the car. Others are said to have seen cars in the vicinity of the church Tuesday night.
 Sheriff W. c. Kyle passed the church Tuesday night between ll;3o and midnight with party of fox hunters returning to Tuscaloosa and there were no signs of fire at that time nor was there anything unusual to attract their attention. The Water melon road is not travelled much by tourists as it goes back into the country about 30 miles, but is much used by local residents.
 Coroner Hardin states that he IS almost certain that the body was that of white woman and that she was travelling through the country and was not resident of this sec tion of Alabama. He is led to believe this on account of the suitcase found in the ruins and the fact that no white woman had been reported miss ing in this section.
