Plan for Making District
Model City Of the Nation

President Hoover is receiving
the new District Commissioners,
Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby and
Or. Luther H. Reichelderfer, at
a:3O o'clock this afternoon.
The new officials are calling at
ehe White House chiefly to pay
their respects and to thank the
president for their appointment
TO the local posts. 1t is expected,
however, that some of the major
Issues facing them will be touched
upon in informal discussion, mas
much as it is known that the Chief
Executive is deeply interested in
giving Washington model ad-
ministration, especially so far as
law enforcement is concerned.
The two Commit issiOners received
the District governmental heads
and assistants at q reception held
this morning in DR.. Reichelder-
fer's office.
AS the long line shook hands
and filed past, there was much
Shooting of cuffs and last-minute
fixing Of necktieS."
Both the Commissioners had a
smile and a cherry word for their
subordinateS, as they shook hands.
Major Henry @. Pratt and Inspec-
tor w. s. Shelby were introduced
to General Crosby, who joked
with both and remarked humor-
OuSly:
81 have heard all about yOu."
The affair lasted only about 10
minutes. ALI of the District Off
cialS expressed themselves as haV-
ing been agreeably impressed. with
the personalities Of their new
chiefs.
withhold Plans
Both Or. ReicheIderfer and Gen
eral Crosby have avoided talking
policy for publication until they
can have a chance to become ac-
customed to their new positions.
Although there is sure to be some
reallotment of Jurisdiction over
the different departments, moth
ing has been done so far.
The Health Department is al
most certain to be switched to
come under Or. Reichelderfer, but
at present it remains in the same
bracket with the Police and Fire
departments and is under General
Crosby.

STATE SHOULD ATONE

The Northern Federation of CIVIC Or
ganizations, operating in the northern
part of the state, has instituted move
ment which should meet with the approx
al Of fair minded individuals.
1t is nothing more than asking the
state to make reparatiOn for persons ui-
Justly convicted and deprived OF their
liberty to serve terms in prison.
Recently three men were returned to
Los Angeles from San Quentin where
they had served two and one-half years
each on life sentences following their
conviction of murder. Newer evidence
obtained while they We're IN prison con-
vinced the board of pardons of their IN
nocence and they were released.
The only reparation made by the state
was to restore to the men the liberty II
had taken from them. There was moth
ing done to atone for the sufferlngs hon
est men endure when unJustly convicted
of a crime; nothing to repay the imam
cial loss the men and their families eX-
perienced: nothing to remove the stigma
of having been a felon except the formal
notice of pardon.
The Northern Federation plans to
draft bill to be presented to the next
legislature providing for some redress
to cover such cases. To US this appears
the only right thing to do. II an lndlVld-
ual robs another of his good name or
falsely accuses him, the person so rob-
bed and so accused may obtain redress
through the courts. Why should the
state not be equally liable when it does
the same thing?
The idea appears to have plenty of
merit and it will doubtless be surprise
to many to learn that under present con-
ditions the state does nothing to repair
the wrong it may do to almost any per-
son unfortunate enough to become mixed
I'D in circumstantial evidence.

ENDURANCE MARK WOBBLING

At this writing It looks as though the
glory Of the Hunter brothers of Chicago
is going to be short-lived, with two en-
durance veterans, Dale Jackson and For
rest O'Brine needing only another day
to set new mark for endurance flying.
When Jackson and O'Brlne set mark
of 42O hours last year, it seemed as
though it would be long time before it
could be broken 1t was a long time, COM
paratively speaking. But the Hunters
passed it by more than 80 hours little
more than a month ago, and it appeared
to be a certainty that the new record
would be difficult to exceed.
Jackson and O'Brine, not bit abashed
bv the task before them, took to the air
shortly after the Hunters had come down
and unless something unforeseen hap

"Well, somebody ought to do If,
said Uncle Wiggil'-, iiggling the
rubber handle to and fro and max
ing the ball jingle. "There ought
to be some way Of finding out what
is inside a rattle box to make 1t
rattle. "
'gI think maybe it is seashells and
pebbles and silvery bells" said the
mousie clerk as Uncle Wiggily paid
her and took the toy for Wopsic,
"That's what the rattle sounds like
to me. -
cts a pretty thought, anyhow, y
said the rabbit gentleman. - And
when Wopsie gets through shaking
the rattle box and playing with and
cutting her teeth on it, then | am
going to open it ard find out wha'
is inside.
All the way back to his bungalow
Uncle Wiggily was looking at tbs
rattle box and shaking it close tc
! his ears ana trying to guess what
was inside that made the jolly noise
And, as he was hopping along, all OF
a sudden, out from behind busl

Uncle Wiggily raised the rattle boz
and hit it down hard upon the heat
of that ugly Bob Cat.
"Bang!" went the rattle box
and it also ratified. And, so hare
did Uncle Wiggily strike that the
rubber ball part Of the rattle boz
burst open and out scattered, JUS
as the mousie girl had guessed, some
silverv bells and cookie shells ant

UNCLE WIGGILY' RATTLE
BOX

Uncle Wiggily loved every one Of
his many rabbit girls and boys, but
he has special fondness in his heart
for Baby Buntv, the little orphan
who had come 10 live with him II
few wears ago. Uncle Wiggily was
so fond of Buntv that, though she
was quite a well-grown rabbit child
now. Mr. Longears allowed her two
words of baby talk. These words
were "Unkie Wig which no one
else, except the very smallest rabbit
children, were permitted to use.
And, besides Bunty, Uncle Wiggi-
" greatly loved little Wopsie. She
was one of the very newest babies
and / think the reason Uncle Wig
gily was so very fond of her was
because, one day when he was feed
ing her prune juice out of a spoon
and dish, Wopsie sneezed and blew
the brown, sticky stuff all over Cn-
Gle Wiggily's pink twinkling nose.
But bless your handkerchief. He
didn t mind that.
Wopsie surely is a dear little

after he had fed her the prune juice.

YOU will kindly remember. And how

Ranchers Advised
TO Examine Crop
For Green Worm

Ranchers who are growing ses-
bania for soil improvement purposes
are urged by Frank Beyschlag. farm
advisor, to examine their crop to
learn if it is being eaten by the
, same green worm which so rave
nously attacks alfalfa at this season.
Many growers are debating whether
to turn their sesbania Immediately
or to give it one more irrigation and
thus obtain more growth. If the
green worms, large or small, are nu-
merous on the scsbania leaves they
can consume as much growth as
would be made by delaying the plow-
| ing of the cover crop.
incidentally the farm advisor
points out that delay in plowing scs'
! bania fields can cause serious in
| jury to alfalfa growers who are try
! ing to make late summer crops of
/ hay or pasture. In sesbania fields
| which are plowed late the alfalfa
! caterpillars will mature and trans
form to the adult, yellow butterfly
The butterflies then will lay then
eggs in neighboring alfalfa or sca
! bania fields. From these eggs then
will hatch the tiny destructive green
worms in huge numbers to 'deFastatc
alfalfa and late scsbania crops.'ThC
worms of, course can be destroyed
before they mature by plowing un
der sesbania or by cutting alfalfa
/ on which they are feeding. The
farm advisor urges that thorough
clean Job of sesbania plowing or al
falfa cutting be done not only in
the field but also in fence cornc"'
and along bitches and roadways in
order that no breeding places tol
! the pest NAV be left.

Wiggily thought of a rattle box.

also cut her teeth by biting on il
when the time comes. A rattle box
will be just the thing!"
Much pleased with having thought
Of this for his cute little baby rab-
bit, Uncle Wiggily started to hop
down to the rattle box store where
there were many baby things to be
bought.
"What kind of rattle box do you
want for Wopsie asked the little
mousie girl clerk behind the counter
when Uncle Wiggily looked at her

he had come.

4 LESSON LEARNED

Some two years ago officials at Sing
Sing prison were severely criticized by
the press of the land, for refusing to per-
nit prisoners to go to the rescue of par
ty in distress on the Hudson river, al
though several convlcts volunteered to
go to their aid, pledging themselves to
return if they survived the chance they
were willing to take.
A guard, held fast by orders and un-
able to see his way clear to set them
aside at the greater call of humanity,
refused to heed the plea of the convicts
and they were forced to watch a tragedy
which snuffed out the lives of the rivers
victims.
The same condition arose Sunday at
Sing Sing but officials there evidently
have learned their lesson. Again the
convicts offered to go to the aid of four
persons, one of them the chief of police
for the New York Central Lines, whose
rowboat was caught in one of the sudden
storms that occasionally sweep the Hud-
son at this time of the year.
Four convict members of the prison
fire department were detailed to go to
the aid of the party. The gates of the
prison were opened, the four men set
out with life lines, and in a short time
the boat, almost full of water and its
terror-stricken occupants, were safe at
Sing Sing. The convicts, true to their
word, had made no effort to seize the op-
portunity to stage an escape.
AS this publication was one that Sc
verely condemned the previous action of
the Sing Sing guard, it is only fair to re-
cord the fact that the prison officials
profited by their mistake of two years
ago. 1t might also be pointed out that
convicts are but human beings the same
as the rest of us and that when the oc-
casion arises they can be heroes as we'll
as felons.
