UNCLE WIGG1LY AND THE
EGGS

Once upon a time, as Uncle Wig.
gily was hopping along a woodland
path near his hollow stump bunga-
low, he Heard a rustling up in the
new, green leaves on a tree. The
leaves were not yet very large, for
they had only begun to grow after
having been asleep all winter. SO
Uncle Wiggily could easily look up
into the tree and see much more
plainly than he could do later when
the leaves were thicker.
81 hope that isn't the Bob Ca
who has climbed UP this tree TO
hide and then jump own and
scratch nfe,' Thought the rabbit.
But when he looked he saw that the
lustling of the leaves was caused
by two red robin birds flittering
shout.
"What are you birds doing up
there9" called Uncle Wiggily with
a Jolly laugh, for he loved the birds
and the birds loved him.
"We are making nest sang
Mr.. Robin. The father robin j. the
one who does all the singing. Mrs.
Pobin is so busy laying eggs, out Of
which little birds will hatch, that
she never has time to learn how to
s.ng. But I viii say that Mr.. Robin
always helped her in building the
nests and he also helped her IL
warming The eggs under his fluffy
feathers. For when the cold eggs are
warmed Just right out come the 1T
tie birds
"Oh, SO You are making nest
are youe" asked Mr.. Longears.
Yes" said Mrs. Robin, "hirp
ing but not singing like her hus,
Damd. "And when il is finished
si.all lay the blue eggs and ] hope
you viii stop, when you pass this
way, and see my little birds when
they are Matched, Uncle Wiggily, y
she invited.
al shall be most happy TO dc
that, " said the rabbit.
So he hopped along, very GLAD
that the robin, were building q nest
SO near his bungalow.
About a week after this Uncle
Miggily once more hoped beneath
the tree where he had watched the
robins building their nest. BY this
time the leaves were thicker and
greener on the tree, for the weather
Was warmer and the sun was coax
ing the May flowers out TO blossom.
The rabbit gentleman heard the two
robins chirping and talking in a
way that robins have and, all of u
sudden, Mr.. Robin began to sing q
most joyful and jolly song.
"What's going on up thereP
called Uncle Wiggily.
Mrs. Robin has Just laid a love

"Oh, am SO glad!" said th'

HOOVER SILENT.
ON BREAK
(COntinusd From Page y

(cOntinusd From Page -
Of the Republican Senators who
participated In last nights meet
ing, calling Mr.. Hoover to &C.
count for his raps ut the Senate,
Curtis went to the White House
in advance of the regular Friday
Cabinet meeting this morning and
had q talk with the President.
Curtis Delivers Word
It is understood that he in
formed Mr.. Hoover that the Re
publican senatorial sentiment
was unanimous against defending
him on the floor unless he agreed
to cease attacking the Senate.
It was learned today that
among those who participated in
last nights Republican conference
were Senators FeSS, McNary, Van
denburg, Walcott, Reed, Morrow,
Hatfield, Steiwer, Kean and
others.
The complete split between the
President and the Republicans in
the Senate had been strikingly re-
vealed few hours earlier when
the Senate unanimously had voted
to strike from the $11O,0 900
unemployment bill provision
that would have placed this
amount in Mr.. Hoover's hands to
be spent as he and COMMITTEES
Of his Cabinet directed.
Attacked By the Democrats
The President had requested
the grant of this discretionary
power in his message to Congress.
Subjected to violent attack by
the Democrats and the inSurgent
Republicans, not q single Repub-
lican vote was cast for it on the
showdown.
This followed earlier action of
unanimously voting for a $780,
OO0. 900 drought-relief bill, instead
of the $25, 10000 bill sponsored
by the White House.
What these extraordinary
events portend with relation to
Mr.. Hoover's political future
particularly in 1932-remains to
.be seen.
But the fact Is undeniable that
there exists on the part Of
Senate Republicans a revolt
against the President Of unusual
and significant proportions.
Situation Is Amazing
When such party stalwarts as
Watson himself, Senator Smoot
of Utah, Senator Reed Of Penn
lsylyania, Senator Fess Of Ohio
chairman of the Republican ma
tion committee, and the younger
group of Senators called "the
Hoover young guard" sit silent
for three consecutive days while
q Republican President Is being
assailed as no President has been
since woodrow Wilson - when
that condition prevails it becomes
at once Of extraordinary political
significance
