.'Oh, like a policeman s hr<--

So, out Of paper, Uncle Wiggily
made policeman hat for the little
pig, and Squeakie liked it very

The lady pig thanked the bunny
for amusing Squeakie with police

ed TO hop home to his hollow stump
bungalow But he was only half
way through the darkening woods,
when, all of a sudden, he heard a
rustilng noise in the dried leaves be-
hind him. Looking back, the bunny
saw the Bob Cat chasing him.

make traffic sign on piece OF
white birch bark. The Bob Cat will
think I'm a traffic policeman and
stop chasing me!'
No sooner said than done. Uncle
Wiggily made himself paper police
man s hat and put it on. He found
piece of white birch bark, and
with red juice from the sumaeh
bush he painted stop sign.
Uncle Wiggily stuck this sign in
the middle of the path and stood
there, holding it up, wearing his
police hat and with his back to the
Bob Cat.
'.Oh, didn t know there was n
traffic policeman hcre!" howled the
Bob Cat when he reached the sign.
.'WelI, it says stop and I'd better
stop, or | might get arrested. ! wish
he turn it to go and then ! could

go"
But the bunny wouldn't turn the
sign. And the Bob Cat didn I dare
90 ahead or he though it WAS q
real animal policeman standing there.
And after Il while it grew very dark,
so Uncle Wiggily could drop the
sign, and hop off under the bushes,
tynlch he did, getting safely home.
As for the Bob Cat, for all
know, he may be there in the woods
vet, waiting for it to get daylight
so he can see if the sign says 60. =

| War on Opium :
Approved by Germans
In Switzerland

Geneva, Dec. ia. p. by Maill
A campaign Is under way in the
German speaking cantons Of Swift
zerland to influence the Swiss gov
eminent not to subscribe to the
Hague opium convention. as Is ear
nestly desired by the United States
and other countries who are taking
the lead in the world war against
opium. International conferences
will be held in Geneva next year TO
carry on the night against opium on
the basis of the American principle
that the use of narcotic drugs
should be restricted to medicinal ana
scientific purposes.
There is much manufacturing of
narcotic drugs in Switzerland. and
the government never has adhered
to the Hague convention. chiefly for
the reason that the cessation of drug
manufacture would prove serious
economic loss to the Swiss people.
II is. however, doing its utmost TO
arrange whole hearted participation
in the anti-drug movement. Several
newspapers in the drug manufacture
ing centerS are waGing a campign
against the governments policy, de-
Claring that Swiss cooperation means
further financial losses TO a people
already suffering from the effects OF
the high Swiss exchange.
