UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

Jingle and Jangle were two little
rabbit girls-a few of the many iit'

with Uncle Wiggilv and his new
wife in the hollow stump bungalow.

tricks and he laughed with Jingle
and Janglc when they played one

Loagars to Uncle Wiggily one day.
"Cf late Jingle and Janglc have

Mr.. Longears.

not be argued from this last catastrophe, though
it the climax of tragic series, that drigbles have
proved themselves helpless. 1t is probably wise de-

DEPUTY BEMOANS
LUCK AS ANGLER

Deputy Sheriff George Evans,
who recently returned from his va
cation, is going to confine his
- catching abilities hereafter to
lawbrcakers, instead of to fish, the
officer having been forced into the
conclusion that as fisherman he
is a good officer.
After spending two strenuous
days angling for large fish, George
caught two bonitas, weighing
around two pounds each, and he
was so disgustcd that he sworc off
angling. His sporting activities i'll

REGULATION FOR ALiENISTS

The scandalous situation caused by the employ
ment of aenist in murder has been taken notice
of by the American Bar Association.
Leading lawyers and Judges agree thai if it is not
downright dishonest it is contrary to public policy
to allow prosecution and defense to hire rival corps of
aenists to give conflicting testimony in court In the
last few years there have been many obvious mscar
rlages of justice due to these battles of aenists
Wherefore the Bar Associa ton put itself record
its recent convention in favor of legislation that
would forbid the testimony of alienists in criminal
except when they appointed by the court and
receive Ordinary and reasonable compensation paid
by the state
This is mere common sense. The sooner it is rec
ognized by state legislatures and turned into appro
pirate legislation, the better II will be for American
justice

AUTOMOBILE TAXES

Americans kick about taxes automobilca-and
rightly, in view Of the fact that their cars are taxed
three or four times while other forms of property are
usually taxed only once But compared with British
motorists, they don't know what taxation is The tax
on automobiles in England is pound sterling per
horsepower. That is nearly 500 for a small car
However, all the receipts from such taxation in
England go into development fund.-" and nearly all
of them are said to be spent road improvement
That is the main thing. Motorists don't mind the
taxes much when they get the worth Of their money
in better roads.
