UNCLE WIGGILy AND THE
QUIET POOL

There had been very cold wealth
cr and some snow in Woodland
where Uncle Wiggiy lived in his
hollow stump bungalow. The ground
had frozen, and many small crea-
lures had gone to the very deepest
part of their warm burrows, there
to curl up into small, round balls of
fur and wait for the coming of
spring. Then the white flakes had
siftcd down from the clouds, to
make cosy blanket for the earth
for you must know that it is warm
under the snow.
This all happened around Christ
mas time, and, now that the holiday
was over. the Warm sun had melt
ed the snow, and even melted the
ice from a quiet pool tat WAS not
far from Uncle Wiggily's hollow
stump bungalow.
In summer Bully and Bawly No
Tail, the frog boys, splashed in this
pool and Lulu, Alice and Jimmie
Wibblewobble, the ducks, swan
across it. But now the frog boys
were afraid to jump in the pool,
for fear of freezing fast, and for
the same reason, the ducks did not
often swim in it. Instead. when
the ice was thick enough, the ami
NAL children skated on it with I'M
Gle Wiggilv.
Imperial Valley press., 1925-12-30

This time, however, the bunny saw
what caused it.
Hanging over the pool was the
branch of Il tree, and on the tree,
where the sun had melted some
snow. were Il number of iclcleS. AS
the sun shone warmer still, these
icicle melted. one by one, and drop

will 90 to Sleep again. So on the
log, beside the quiet pool, he slum-
bcred again, until, once more he
was awakened by another splash.
But this time il was no iciclc, for
none was left on the tree.
Perhaps it is the Fox, throwing
stones. said the bunny. getting
ready to hop away. "Or maybe,
the Bob Cat.'
Don t be alarmed, spoke a

"Oh, | am glad to know it was
YOU. and not the Fox, said the
bunny, and then, all of Il sudden, 4
savage voice cried
"Who is talking about me? Who
wants the Fox? Well, here | am! -
and the big tailed chap made a leap
from the bank, trying to jump on
Uncle Wiggily. But the pickcrcl
cried just in time: Look out. y
so the rabbit leaped to one side
aud the Fox jumped right into the
water.
"oh, what Il splash in my quic:
pool, : laughed Uncle Wiggily.
You made the biggest splash of
all, Mr.. Foxl' And as the bad
chap. cold and dripping wet, climb

THE FRENCH PARADOX

The crisis in France is financial and political, not
economic. According to trustworthy accounts, times
not bad in France. There is business depres
sion. Everybody is working, and there is ready
ployment for immigrants, especially Italians. Indus
try is working at capacity The trade balance is favor
able-more goods sold abroad than bought abroad.
Yet France can't balance her budget.
England and Italy, with economic conditions less
favorable have balanced their budgets Why cannot
France, too, balance her governmental income and out
co. and save little to apply on foreign debts?
Apparently because France continues large
rent expenditures particularly for military purposes
and is yet willing to endure as heavy taxation as
neghboring countries All the sympathy in the world
for Frances heavy burdens obscure these facts
