voice of Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh! Ont" barked the doggie

very glad to see the bunny gentle

down ON Il log and began to help

off. But the rabbit uncle soon saw
that it WAS going to take him

even with the two robins it took a
long while, so some sparrow birds
flew ldown to help. And what with
Jackie and Peetie picking stickers
from one another, and Uncle Wig

helping, the doggie boys, after n

"No, we never will" promised

of the bushes jumped the Woozic
Wolf.
"Ah, ha! Now | IN going to catch

some on the log. Then, before the

down so that he fell backward and

Union AmlRS

After long and bitter fight, the Actors Equity
Association, which is sthesNew York actors union, has
compromised and settled with the theatrical producers
fourto-one basis. That is, it agrees that in any
cast there may be non-on actor to four union
tors, or 20 per cent non-lnionists.
This looks like sensible arrangement There has
always been question whether artists of any kind
were justified in adopting the methods of the union
labor movement Art, throughout history, has nearly
always been "Open shop, andfree. Yet it is not de-
MED that the actors had genuine grievances and found
way to redress them except through the economic
compulsion of organization along union labor lines.
With 80 per cent unionism, they should be able
to control the situation sufficiently to insure protec
ton of their rights worng and and the
unorganized 20 per should insure that will
be left for the employment of good dramatic talent
without regard to its union status So economics and
art are both recognized

T. RyJyLDING AGAINST RATS

Citizens of Astorias Ore, convinced that city
be ratproof and that construction leading to that
condition is most desrable The destruction of part
of the city by fire made it possible to rebuild certain
sections from the ground up and according to the most
modern rat-proof methods.
Concrete retaining walls, concrete Easements in
buildings tunnels which carry all wires and pipes
from street to buildings, concrete walls completely
closing sewers and storm entrances screened
that rats cannot possibly get in out all help to hind
er the progress of even the most enterprising rat from
place to another.
Deprived thus of hiding places, residences and fa-
ces for entering buildings the rats will either die
off from hunger and ennu move to other and less
concretely constructed cities.
1t is only in recent years that people have real
lied that building against rats is important

community Rats haye always done great deal of
damage-carrying disease, causing fires, destroying
food and injurng buildngs-and will continue to

Court for Taking
His Own Horse

Hy United Press Leased Wire
PASADENA, May 21.-Ole
Hansen, former fiery mayor Of
Seattle, must appear in justice
court here tomorrow to answer
to q charge Of horse stealing.
Two things make this yarn
unusual. One is the fact that
such o prominent man as Han
sen is under arrest on such a
charge, while the other is that
there are still horses to steal.
Hansen, now q local realtor,
claims the thing is all wrong.
He only took his own horse,
Hansen declares.
The animal in question, a
parade nag named Golden, was
brought to Southern California
by the Hansens when they
came down, the former I. w.
w. battler said. It was given
to Hansen's son, Ted, to ride
around the hills north of Glare
mont, where he was attending
private school. One night the
horse disappeared.
That was year and q half
ago. The other day, while rid
ing along the boulevard, Han
sen and his son spotted Golden
in a corral, they said, and. upon
explaining that the animal be-
1onged to them, the then owner
turned the horse over without
q question.
Anyway, warrant followed,
the horses latest owner declar-
ing the Hansens' hadn't prov
ed ownership. The thing should
be settled tomorrow.

GOOOS MOVE SLOWLY.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 15.-No indica-
tion of improvement comes from the
New England textile centers. From the
south come reports that while con-
sumption of raw cotton was very little
less in February than the month be-
fore, goods were moving slowly. Price
cuts were stimulating some little buy
ing, large numbers of small orders. but
no large orders for future needs. Cur
tailment, therefore, in the southern
mills is considered inevitable.
AS to the cotton itself, the new crop
is now the controlling factor. Contin-
ued reports of delayed farm work make
some impression on the price. But fur
ther price concessions in dry goods CEN
tiers and labor troubles in England tend
to depress the price. Dry goods men in
New York believe that the staple has
now hurdled the speculative stage
which brought the soaring price in late
fall and is now settling down to price
adjustment in accordance with economic
laws.
In the wooden market trade for next
fall is only moderate.
