UNCLE WIGGILY'S BARK
PUDDING

One day, when Uncle Wiggily
started to hop out of his hollow
stump bungalow he turned back a
moment to say to his wife:
"Why is it we neve. nave a bark
pudding for dinner'"
"Well, one reason is" replied Mrs.
Longears with laugh, "that we
haven't any bark just now"
Bring me the bark and I will
make the pudding" offered Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, who was busting
the piano, and, at the same time
playing a little tinkly tune by tap
keys. Nurse Jane said the white
keys made better music than the
black keys.
"All right" Uncle Wiggily ans
wered. "I'll be travelling around s
bit today, looking for adventure:
and I'll bring home the bark. / love
bark pudding, l am very hungry fol
it,"
"You shall have it," promised
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy.
Spring had just begun in Wood
land near the Orange Ice Mountains
where Uncle Wiggily lived in hi:
hollow stump bungalow, and the ole
gentleman rabbit was very glad that
winter had started to go away.
"There's one nice thing about lis,
ing in a country where there is both
winter and summer" said Uncle
Wiggily to himself as he hoped ov.
er the fields and through the woods
"Io ou have something to be thankful
for when winter goes. Now you
take. a rabbit, like those down in
Louisiana or maybe South Carolina
or perhaps Florida, why, they new
er know what either winter or cold
weather IS so they can't feel happy
when winter goes and spring and
summer come"
"But on the other paw" spoke a
voice close to Uncle Wiggilv, "those
rabbits in the Southland are happy
all the year around, while you are
sometimes sad and unhappy in win
ter"
"Well, there is something in that"
agreed Mr.. Longears, looking around
to see who had spoken. and he
saw Mr.. Twistytail, the pig gentle
man.
"Where are you going?" asked
Mr.. Twistytail.
T'm looking for an adventure
Uncle Wiggily answered, "and ]
must also get some bark SO Nurse
Jane can make a pudding"

WE SHARE THE BLAME

Walter Krajewski, Henry Piotrowsky.
John Dzazdyzynski and Edward Domnk-
ewwicz are dead. They were killed late
Sunday by police in Buffalo and were
identified as bandits, or racketeerS. to
use the name that commonly designates
those who flout the law in our larger cit
les.
A fifth man, with a name equally load
ed with consonants, was wounded, taken
to hospital for treatment, and jumped
from the operating table to make his es-
cape when the physicians eft him alone
for moment.
' Krajewski was Fl and the oldest of the
four Domnkiewicz was II and the
youngest. The other two were 20.
These ages indicate that the men were
born in this country, of immigrant par
ents. Their names indicate Polish or Sla-
vic ancestry Names similar to these can
be found on the rolls of honor of many
Legion posts in the country, so it cannot
be said arbitrarily that possessors of
names like these do not make good citi-
ZenS.
We do believe that the fate of these
young men can. be attributed to our
method of treating the foreigner and the
sons of foreigners.
In our larger cities particularly we al
low them to live very much to themselves.
True the public schools and other public
institutions are open to them and their
children. This, however, is not enough.
There is need for friendly approach
and a continual helpful contact with our
foreigners, especially those who have to
learn our language.
Generally speaking we leave them TO
themselves To US they are Just SO many.
"wops', "dagoes', "sheenies, "hunkles
or "greasers". 1t is small wonder that the
older generation is at sea when they are
bossed around by important policemen
and exploited by crooked politicians,

UP TO THE PEOPLE

The civic auditorium proposition will
be decided by the voters of Ell Centre, fol-
lowing action taken by the city council
last night in passing the auditorium reso-
luton for the last time
Now that it is out of their hands, the
city fathers who have been handling the
matter as though it were so many sticks
of dynamite, may breathe sighs of relief
1t has passed from them to the people,
Just why there should have been so
much temerity in the council is difficult
to understand. The members of the coun-
Gil were not asked to say how they stand
personally on the auditorium PROPOSE
ton. They were merely requested to get
the matter placed before the people
where all questions pertaining to expend-
iture of public money belong. The squirnl-
ing some of them have done would quail
fy them for experts in modern dancing.
The Press believes a civic auditorium is
needed here and will lend its support to
the proposition. There will be more to
say ON this side of the question later. We
mention it now merely to inform those
VINO have been wondering about our ideas
on the matter. And when this paper gives
It's support to the auditorium plan, it does
SO Knowing that as heavy taxpayer it
will have to bear its share of the burden,
which will be much more than that of
many who will oppose the idea. >
If the people of this city want an audi
torium, they are going to get it, If they
don't want it. they will turn the PROPOSE
tion down. The Press will support the
plan, but it is not going to advocate that
opponents of the plan be taken out some
where and hanged. If we all agreed on
public matters there would be no need for
politicians, and then what would we do
for amusement?
There is time between now and election
to put the auditorium proposition before
the people in all its details and let them
decide on April IA just what they wish to
do about it.

I'll hop along and get the bark.
"And I'll toddle along to get some
sour milk" grunted the pig. "My
wife wants to make pie and sour
milk pie is the best for pigs"
Now as the two friends hurried
along, Uncle Wiggily going one way
and Mr.. Twistytail the other wav.
two little puppy dogs crawled out
from behind big stone where they
had been sitting, out of sight, as
Uncle Wiggily and the pig gentle
man talked.
"Did you hear what Uncle Wiggi-
ly said?" asked Jackie Bow Wow of
his brother Peetie.
'Indeed l did" said the other.
j "He said he was going to get some
bark so Nurse Jane could make a
pudding. l guess he didn't know we
were here. But we can take the
bark around to his bungalow and
when Nurse James makes the pud
ding she'll give US some. What
about it ?"
That's fine." said Jackie. "Comc
! on!"
! The two puppies hurried to tn,
bungalow and when they saw Nurse
Jane in the kitchen Jackie said:
"Now yau can make the pud
ding,"
"What pudding?" asked the musk
rat lady housekeeper.
"The bark pudding" answered
Peetic. "We heard Uncle Wigcily
say he was looking for bark to put
IN the pudding so we brought you our
barks."
And if you want to give us some
pudding we'll eat it, added Jackie
"Come on now, Peetie. "Give Nurse
Jane some Of your bark ana I'll give
her some of mine" Then those queer
puppies began to bark "Bow wow,n

Jackie and Peetie looked very
queer as they stopped barking. But
Just then in hoped Uncle Wiggily

prices will prevail in the new Parker
Bridget store the same as in the old.
There will be no departure from our
policy of Al years standing. We shall
carry the best apparel obtainable in
both domestic and foreign markets

HEARING ON CODE
ASKED BY BUILDERS
Installation of Multiple Refrig
GRAFTON Held Virtually
Prohibited.

The Operative Builders Association
today petitioned the District Commits
sioners for q public hearing TO discuss
and II possible eliminate practical
difficulties" in the code regulating the
installation of mechanical refrigeration
machinery, particularly as they affect
multiple systems.
tually prohibited the installation OF
multiple systems since it became effec-
tive July /. Rufus S. Lusk, executive
secretary of the association, wrote that
the multiple system is cheap to operate
and particularly popular with the
builders.
"The greatly increased cost and
practical difficulties of complying with
the code as written" the petition said
prevents the installation of the null
tiple type of refrigeration. While some
builders prefer unit installation of re-
frigeration. the majority of builders and
owners prefer and have found in prac-
tice that the multiple system is very
satisfactory and that they wish to con-
tinue It,"
The petition cited as an example Of
the practical difficulties" of the cod<
q requirement that every evaporatinf
unit or part in contract with the re.
frigerant be sufficiently rugged to turr
the end of an ice pick" While this pro.
vision, the letter pointed out, was in.
tended to prevent accidental puncture!
and gas leaks, it is Impractical and al
most impossible to comply with, becaust
Of the cost.
Most of the refrigerating machiner!
installed in the District since July /
was installed in conflict with this regu
lation, the association held.
The hearing was asked for the pur.
pose Of drafting a set of regulation
which will provide ample safety and a
the same time permit the continued in
etallation Of multiple systems"
