SIZING DESERVES CREDIT

San Diego, from all appearances will get the navv
dlrlg1ble base following the recommendation made to
congress yesterday by Secretary of Navy Adams urg
ing that site more suitable than Sunnvvale which
mad the support of the northern section of the state
The secretary's recommendation is wise one there
being several reasons why San Diego is more desirable
Construction of the base will mean the spending of
several millions of dollars by the government and will
give Southern California new Importance in the world
of aeronautics.
"A vigorous fight put up by representatives of
the SunyVale and San Diego sites Congressman Phil
d. Swing was active in directing San Diego's claims
and little share Of the credit for the successful con-
clusion is due to him.
incidentally it is interesting to learn that there is
considerable opposition among the California delega-
ton IN the house, to Swings return to the naval com
mlttee Much of this opposition was based on the be-
lief that such an appointment would strengthen San
egos claims for the drigible site to the detrment of
Sunnyvales claims
As an able member of the naval committee for sever
al years, Congressman Swing is thoroughly familiar
with the work required. He probably would have been
chairman of the committee by this time had he not sac
rced his chances by asking for transfer to the COM
mttee on irrigation and reclamation so that he might
better aid the fight for the Colorado river leCisation
his application for transfer to the naval committee
was made several months ago before the fight between
Sunnyvae and San Diego for the dirigible base had
developed.
Representative Barbour, CALIFORNIA; representative
on the house committee committees, has recon-
mended Swing for the naval committee the opposition
developing among the northern members of the state
delegation With the drgible base question practical
ly settled by of Secretary Adams recommends
tlon there is good why Swings reques, for
transfer should not be granted There is every reason
why it should be granted if experience and efficiency
are to be considered. Swing has both.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S FLYING
BUTTER.

Once upon a time Uncle Wig
gilv's wife said to him:

eight and nine cent store and get
me pound Of butter"
Il shall be very happy to do that
for YOU" the rabbit gentleman an
swercd with a polite twinkle of his
pink nose. ''But are you in Il great
hurry? | mean do you need the but

anything like that ,"
"0h, no. indeed" Mrs. Lon2ears
replied. "Any time this afternoon

were YOU thinking of doing"
81 thought" spoke Mr. Longcars,
"that while was out ibuttcring-

very best kind of IA place to scoot
along, the bunny gave a run, braccd
his paws aud away he slid.
"Whec." he cried. "This is fun"
Hardly had he laughed in delight
though, before he slipped and fell
and the package of butter shot out
of his paws and went sailing through
the air, landing on the ground some
distance off.
"Ha. Hal" laughed Uncle Wiggily.
"Scc my flying buttcr," For, really,
it looked as if the butter had gone
flying. "I wonder if | can do that
again." said Mr.. Longcars.
First he picked himself up, then
he picked up the pound of butter
and next he started another slide.
AT the same slippery place he again
fell down and away sailed the butter
as before.
"Sec it fly," cried the rabbit
"This is more fun than | thought.
And really it doesn't hurt the butter,
for it's soft" he said.
SO he picked himself up again and
I'thea picked up the butter and went
to take n third slide and fall. But
as he reached the edge Of the lee
puddle he looked across and there
stood the-Bob Cat!
"Oh, exclaimed Uncle Wiggily.
"Mcw" yowlcd the Bob Cat. Mr..
Longears knew what that meant. Ii
was as if the Bad Chap said: "l'm
hungry! Pm going to nibbE you.'
But the rabbit was brave and
said:
"Did you ever sec my flying but

"Nonsensc. Flying butter. You
mean butterfly" moved the Bob
Cat.
"It's tho same thing. Look." cried
Uncle Wiggily. Then he bravcly
slid right toward the Bad Chap. And
at the falling down place the rabbit
fell. Out of his paws slcw the butter

1t would be sad state OF affairs if men who have
reached the of so were automatically retired from
work being inefficient and incompetent merely be-
of their age.
Such is the opinion of Attorney General Webb as ex-
pressed in letter to W A Johnstone president of the
California civil service commission in opposing poll

Unsound and illogical
Webb points out, and rightly, that in the legal de-
partment so year limit which is proposed might

This may be the age of youth and plenty of young

they are doing with credit to themselves But to
reegate men, either, to the shelf merely be-

One has only to look about him to find men and

We have every confidence in youth but we have

laugh. SO away hopped Uncle Wig

Now there had been some rain in
Woodland near the Orange lee
Mountains, where Uncle Wiggily
lived, and in some places little pud

a little snow had fallen, making
lovely places to slide.

Uncle Wiggily, hopping along ant

EAR 4 TOTAL LOSS

II is rather ironical TO read in one column Of The
paper OF a government tax reduction amounting to
$1600000G0, of hundreds Of millions more being ap
propriated for various governmental agencies, and
then to read in another column that this great
pays nine widows Of veterans of the war of 1912
total of $3.50 per month approximately $50 each
just enough to keep body and soul together.
The husbands of these fought for their coun-
try is years ago. Perhaps the ptfu pension these
women are receiving is sufficient for their needs,
which doubtless simple enough, but it seems like
the utmost in mserliness
To most of US the knowledge that the government is
still paying pensions for that occurred 100
years ago. will come as u great surprise
There still 730 widows Of veterans Of the war
with Mexico, receiving pensions from the government.
The Civil contributes $3.50 veterans and l81 235
widows Of veterans to whom the government is paving
pensions. Spanish War veteran pensioners number
178,904. These figures of june 30 1929.
During the fiscal year ending that date the gov
ernment disbursed total of $229 889 986.48 in pen
sions alone Other nationalties claim that Americans
can best be made to understand when they are hit
through their pocketbooks. This, then, should be
splendid argument against war. And this immense
does not include payments to hundreds of thou
sands of veterans Of the World War disqualification
and other expenses which would without question
double the total, AT the very least.
When comes to reckon djusted compensation
risk insurance and back claims the total is further
increased Taken as a cold business proposition, war
is a total loss. What ii costs in misery, poverty and
suffering can never be measured. The pension bureau
records at Washington, despite their matter Of fact
style tell side of wars futility that few Of
consider.

Therefore, we should devote all pos sbile revenues to promoting the de- velopment of educational facilities.
