rabbits in the bungalow he asked.
No, not one!' answered Nurse
Jane. for she knew all the others,
except Baby Bunty had gone out
early that morning, and. as she did
not see Bunty, Miss Fuzzy Wuzzv
thought that the little orphan was
out also. But Bunty wasn't. She
was hiding in the umbrella-stand,
What am I going to do?" asked
Uncle Wiggily. Il want SO much
to wear my talk silk hat today to
look stylish
Wei, why don't you wear ito
asked Nurse Jane. Wear it today
and when you come back I will put
some stove polish on and make it
black for You again. Wear your
white paste hat for joke!
II will" decided NJ. Longears. If
ANYBODY makes fun Of me I will
laugh and say the joke is on them,
for white tall hats are the style!"
That's the way!" laughed Nurse
Jane. So Uncle Wiggily for a little
joke hoped out adventuring wear
ing a hat made as white as snow by
Baby Bunty with Uncle Butter
paste.
AS Uncle Wiggily hoped along
among the snoWdrifts, all OF sud
den behind him he saw the bad Bob
Cat coming.
oh! OH He's after mel" cried
the rabbit. And with my black hat
on I must show very plainly against
the white snow. Oh. how can I get
away?" Then, all of a sudden, Mr.
Longears remembered that for a
Joke he was wearing a. pasty hat.
Just the color of snoW" whispered
the rabbit. IF l jump into a snow
drift maybe the Bob Cat won't see
me, as long as my hat isn't black
And that's just what happened
Uncle Wiggily squinched down in
the deep snow and as his hat was
just the color of the drift the Bob
Cat came close, but could not see
it,

4 mistake! And l am SO hungry! So
hungry"
"Ha! Ha! The joke is on you!'
chuckled Mr.. Longears as he hoped
out of the drift with his snow hat
when the Bob Cat had gone. "Ha!

UNCLE WIGGILY'S LITTLE
Joke

"There!" exclaimed Baby Bunty
as she held up on one paw the tan
silk hat of Uncle Wiggily. Il think
that looks wonderful. And so styl-
ish! It's a regular snow color hat
now!"
Which it certainly was. For the
tall silk hat was no longer black.
Baby Bunty has covered it WITH
sticky, white paste, taking some OF
the sticky stuff that Uncle Butter,
the goat gentleman, had broughteto
fasten new paper on the wall OF
Nurse James bedroom.
I'll put Uncle Wiggily's snow nat
on the rack where he can find 1t

for an adventure" whispered the
little orphan rabbit. Dear Unkle

all alone in the hall, with the pasteo
snow hat she had just made, Bunty

more baby talk as Mr.. Longears

And lust then Uncle Wiggily saw

Ambassador CuIbertSon De-
SCribeS Good Will Advance
at G. U. Dinner.

DR.. william S. Culbertson, United
States Ambassador to Chile, in an adj
dress last night at Georgetown Univer-
sity expressed his belief that the fun
damental question of Pan-Americanism
was in the development of the non
economic life Of the various American
republics.
With the increased use Of the radio
and the newly inaugurated Inter-Amer-
lean Airline, he predicted closer knit
ting OF American relations and the pro-
motion of better understanding be-
tween the peoples of the two continents.
Dinner Honor Guest.

Practical Peace Method.

a practical method of making peace
which Chile and Peru have contributed

PERSHING RACE UNLIKELY.
Interest Here Keen in Reported Draft
Move In Nebraska.

That Gen. John j. Pershing could be
drafted to enter the Nebraska Repub-
lican primary against the insurgent
leader, Senator George w. Norris, was
considered unlikely yesterday In Wash
ington. Members of Congress refused
to comment beyond showing interest
In the announcement that Mark Woods,
Nebraskan political leader had started
a movement for the general.
Gen. PerShingS secretary, Capt.
George Adamson, expressed the opinion
of many when he said that the gen.
erals position on politics had been made
quite clear when he refused to enter
a campaign for the presidency. West
ern leaders conceded that Gen. PERISH
ing would make a formidable candi-
date, but suggested that the strength
of Senator Norris in Nebraska ought
not to be minimized in forecasting a
possible contest.
Interest in the 1880 campaigns was
further stimulated today by the an
nouncement at Richmond Friday that
Senator Carter Glass would seek re-
nomination in the Democratic primary.
Victory for the Senator was forecast.
1t was his candidate for governor who
swept the old-line Democrats to victory
in the recent gubernatorial election, de-
feating the anti-Smith forces led in the
national election by Bishop James Can
non of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Senator Glass was a political power in
Virginia even before he served In the
first Wilson administration as Secre-
tary of the Treasury.

PRAYS FOR BOMB
SENDER'S CAPTURE

offered by Rev. Julian Mcdonald, who
conducted funeral services for the first
two victims Of the tragedy yesterday
at Michellville, Md.
In both prayer and his sermon in
the little frame Mount Oak Methodist
Church, the pastor of the congregation
expressed the hope that the perpetrator
OF the bombing and killing on New
Year would be apprehended and
prosecuted.
The statements brought murmured
words of approval and amen" from a
number of the capacity throng of resi-
dents Of Prince Georges County who
packed into the church.
SorrOwing Crowd in Church.
The church was filed with an atmos-
phere of tense sorrow over the tragedy,
and though the neighbors, friends and
relatives of the bomb victims remained
stolidly silent during the services, there
were few dry eyes when a choir of six
women softly sang the anthem Rock
of Ages"
Before the altar of the church were
the flower-draped caSket of Mrs. Naomi
Hall Brady, the 18-year-old bride, and
the tiny white one for little Samuel
Hall, her 19-month-old brother. The
tragedy of the death of the baby boy,
who was mortally wounded as he
pushed his curly head close to the
bomb to see what the Christmas
package" contained, was brought
poignantly to the throng at the church
yesterday when a small child uncon-
Scious of the occasion, several times
broke into chatter
The services at the church completed,

journeyed there in procession from the

being completed at the Arnold resi-
dence, after / o'clock county officers

more detectives were active, making
numerous speedy trips by automobile
