UNCLE WIGGILY'S RUBBER
HOOP

Uncle Wiggily was hopping along
through the woods one day near a
road on which many automobiles
whizzed past when, all of sudden.
the rabbit gentleman heard shout
and something came crashing
through the bushes beside him.
"My goodness! cried Mr.. Long,

But it wasn' t. No bad chap came
Sinking along, after that crash in the
bushes, to get the rabbit uncle. And
as he peered from his hiding place
in the hollow stump he saw what
it was that had made the noise II
vas an old automobile tire which
some one, in a car whizzing along
the road through the woods, had
thrown away.

STANDARD RULES
OF ETIQUETTE

Question: What is the correct
style in letter papcr'
Answer; Paper should not be too
heavy or too light, but rather be
tween that used for wedding invi'
tations and the thin paper used in
foreign correspondence.
IT should be suited to the indlvl'
dual using it. that is, the person with
large handwriting needs larger sta
tioncry than one whose writing il
small. Low spread-out writing looks
best on a square sheet of paper and
tall pointed writing is better suited
to long, narrow sheet.
Whether the finish is a smooth
glaze, or rough, unglazcd, is a mat
ter for personal choice, as long as
the paper is of good quality and con
scrvative in shape and color.
Gold edged paper is not considered
good form, and the preferred colors
are gray, granite, cream, white, pale
blue or green.
Envelopes should be plain and the
flaps should be conservative. Enve'
lopcs with colored Innings, so long
as they are in good taste and not
too conspicuous, are very popular az
present.

HONOR DUE AND ACCORDED

His many friends in Ell Centro, both
within and without Masonry, are pleased
with the honor conferred upon John
Stewart Ross by his election yesterday as
grand master Of the F. and A. NJ. in Cal
ifornia.
1t is an honor that is not lightly be-
slowed and the man who receives it does
so not for the mere wearing of a lodge
button, which is of itself a meaningless
thing, unless the wearer lives up to that
for which the button stands.
Service, limited not to his particular
lodge, nor indeed to his fraternity, is one
of the standards on which the craft
judges those whom it would honor with
leadership. In this attribute the new
master has not been found wanting.
His brethern here may we'll rejoice at
the honor that has come to them through
him, and they know better than others,
how we'll merited is the honor.
Although no longer a resident here, the
grand master is still valleyite at heart
and will be received as one when his du-
ties bring him back here in his official
capacity

the proud British troops paraded out at
Yorktown to the tune The World Is Up
side Down. 1t was indeed upside down
for them. The flower of European mill
tarism, they had been defeated by a
country squire and handful Of peas
ants
The American who is not familiar with
at least the major events of that seven
year battle, is overlooking some of the
most interesting history that was ever
written. Yorktown marks the end of a
wonderful period of sacrifice and devo-
tlon to cause, and the birth Of a nation
even more wonderful.

YORKTOWN

While we are speeding along IN auto
mobiles tomorrow, or playing immature
golf, or passing the time in some other
pleasant means of diversion, 1t might not
be amiss to recall to mind that 149 years
ago there was something happening
which made it possible for the United
States of America to work forward to its
present high position among the nations
of the world
After seven long years of fighting,
George Washington was receiving the
surrender of Lord CORVALLIS at York
town, bringing to practical and success
full conclusion, the Revolutionary War.
1t was triumphant day for the Great
American and the little Dand who mad re-
manned with him from that day so long
before, when he took charge OF the Amer
lean army at Cambridge. Not many had
remained through the seven years. Many
had been killed, others incapacitated by
wounds, and many, many others had just
given up the struggle and returned 70
their homes.
It was a triumphant day also Tor the
young Marquis de Lafayette, who played
an important part in the victory at York
town and who had seen stirring service
since as a youth of 10, he had cast his
lot with the man whom he loved as a
father and who loved him in return.
One of the most beautiful things Of the
entire Revolution, is the bond that existed
between the majestic Washington, solemn
and solid, and the gay young Frenchman,
energetic, impatient and somewhat rash.
The love which they had for each other,
founded amid the dangers and hardships
of the battlefield, remained steadfast un-
til death called Washington, and there
after his memory was the biggest thing in
the life of Lafayette, except possibly his
love of his own country.

NORTH BEACH, Md, October T.
The heralded challenging of registered
Democratic voters registered here on
the last two registration days for the
forthcoming State and Calvert County
elections failed to meet the expectation
of Republican County leaders in this
community.
Out of 90 Democratic voters listed on
the Republican suspect list, whose cases
were heard by election judges during
the forenoon, only three were dropped
from the books as illegal voters.
Eliminating names on the old regis
tration list about which there is no
dispute as to the right to become voters,
the Republicans have filed challenges
against approximately 173 Democrats.
some of whom are trained to be
bona f1de Washington residents and
others resident voters in other sections
Of Maryland
John E. Bangs, Washington attor-
ney, who is the Republican election
judge, and Merle E. Ward, Democratic
election judge, conducted the hearings.
1t is doubtful that their work will be
completed before late tonight
This is the final day for the revision
OF votes. Persons whose names are
stricken from the books will be entitled,
it was said, to appear next registration
day, october IA, and seek registration
again.

A group of residents of Wesley
Heights, in the immediate neighborhood
of Forty-fifth and Lowell streets, will
be given a hearing before the District
Commissioners this afternoon on their
protest against the renewal of the
license of the Point to Point Riding
School at that address.
The protests have been coming in to
the Commissioners for about a year
One of the most emphatic of the
protestants is DR.. Frank w. Ballou, SUI
perintendent of schools. The residents
say that lit was the understanding
when they purchased their homes in
the Wesley Heights section that the
stable property would be developed for
residential purposes, but this has fallen
through"
Each protest has been referred to the
Health Department and in every in
stance the following report by the
health inspector shows that the stable
Is maintained in clean and sanitary
condition, complying with all require
ments of the law. There Is an addi-
tional report showing that no cases OF
typhoid have been reported in that Sec
ton since 1929.
The residents are seeking to prevent
q renewal of the license of the estab-
Hshment November /, when business
licenses must be renewed.
