his easy chair as a bang sounded
in the kitchen.

ears hurrying from the room. Tn,
Gle Wiggily followed. Sitting in her
high chair, near the kitchen table
was Toofy. the newest of the little
buny children in the hollow stump
bungalow. She was called Toofy
because she had two teeth, like
little pearls, in her mouth. They
were her first teeth.
Standing near Toofy, and locking
at the floor, with a queer smile on
her face, stood Jingle. Toofy seem
ed about ready to cry.
"What's the matter, Jingle'" ask.
ed Mrs. Longears. She could see
that Toofy was all right so she did

Latin American politics and history.
Instead of the traditional spectacle
of internal disorder, economic chaos
and domestic anarchy which almost in
variably followed the outbreak of q
revolution in Latin America, we now
find ourselves watching an orderly
process of national reconstruction in
each of the countries mentioned. In
stead of the passionate outbursts of per-
ssonal hatred and ambition, resulting in
an endless and devastating civil war,
we now see the leaders of all political
parties getting together in an attempt
to insure national harmony and speed
up the return TO normal and legal con-
ditions.

Instead of the classic Latin revolt,
with all its high-handed excuses. Ro-
