Impy the black Chipmunk was the most puzzled Chipmunk that ever lived. Not only had Mrs. 1mpy disappeared, but a room in the [ house had disappeared. The disap- !. pearance of the room was much D more of mystery than the disap- pearance of Mrs. Impy. Mrs. Impy might simply be outside somewhere; but a room couldn't run away. No, sir, A room couldn't run away. That wasn't possible.
 1mpy was just about to go out side and look for Mrs. Impy when his keen ears caught a sound. Yes, some one was digging. There was no doubt about it. Suddenly he realized that the sound of that dig ging was coming from just about where that lost room used to be. . What did it mean? What could il mean? Impy backed away and [. Yes, siree, he was all ready to run. : You see, he didn't know what it was all about.
 Some sand came trickling down. A moment later a door had open , ed. Of course, that door was a door of sand and the sand had simply been dug away. A small : head was thrust out of the doorway,
 "Oh." cried Impy. "Oh, Frisky, my dear, is that you?"
 Don't be silly. Of course it's me! . Who else would it be-" replied Mrs. Impy. Have you seen Shadow the Weasel?"
 Yes" replied Impy. He left long ago."
 You're sure about that?" asked Mrs. Impy
 If he hadn't gone, I wouldn't be . here" replied Impy. "Of course I'm sure. I watched him out of sight. . But tell me, my dear, how is it he didn't catch you?"
 Because I shut the door in his face. stupid" replied little Mrs, lmpy.
 What door?' asked Impy who really was very much perplcXcd.
 Little Mrs. Impy almost lost "a tience. For goodness sake, Impy, what is the matter with you? You just saw me open the door, didn't you?'
 ''Yes," replied Impy.
 Well, of course, that is the door l shut in Shadows face" sine re- piled.

Ideal Man's' Too Elusive,
 So Mary Sticks to Opera

Chicago, Sept. 20 sLR-Mary Nc Cormic failed to find her ideal man"-so she'll be back singing in grand opera this year.
 Last year Mary, an Arkansas village girl who sang her way 10 fame in the big city, was enthusi- astic about a young nobleman, who, however, was married to a movie actress.
 When Miss McCormic stopped off to visit her friend and discoverer. Mary Garden, she said she was looking for the ideal man" and intimated she had found him..
 But now she is coming back to the Chicago Civic Opera, after d few seasons in concert work.
 She came to Chicago from Belle vile. Ark, to study music after Miss Garden heard her sing in a church choir.

Talks To G6Q < 8 &&4z parer,ts

Of what good would Kindergarten be to eny child? Shall we send him this fall, or shall we keep him with us for another year or two until time for him to start to school it. self?
 These are the questions that are troubling so many mothers at this time of year that 1t seems well to give a few facts that may help perplexed mothers to make a de- cision.
 Kindergarten is a German word meaning ''children's garden D Years ago Froebel, one of the worlds greatest humanitarians and educators, started the gar den" for little children in Ger many.
 Its aim is far more than to keep children occupied with supervised play willie their mothers may get two and d half hours liberty each day. Who cares for such liberty when 1t means seeing them march off down the street and out of our lives Just like the older children ? For t is with a heartache that we realize once they turn the corner we never really wholly possess them again for our very own, and their little lives begin to take a course at a tangent from ours that can never bend back.
 Then what does kindergarten give that is worth sending them adventuring so soon?
 Adaptability Is Important
 Most important of all there is the character side of it. These little children are learning at the most plastic time of their lives, before six years, to live with other people, to adapt themselves to a group Of their contemporaries. Many children have, been alone or with adults during their babyhood and if they do not become accus- toned to other children before their inhititions are formed, they are apt to develop a pitiful shy ness.
 Others are accustomed to leav- ing the initiative up to older play mates. By this group living" Of Kindergarten they are thus hav- ing their highest social instincts and emotions trained.
 The games themselves are not merely time-killers to amuse the children. They have distinct purpose, carefully and scientifieal- ly thought out to develop every mental process. Some games de- velop quick thinking. Others de- velop originality. Others still, in genuity, reason, or the power Of selection.
 Coordination Achieved
 Johnny brings home trium- phantly to Daddy pen-wiper, lov- ing. if uncertain, labor of his own hands. Julia hassnodeled in clay an-she assures us-elephant. It does not exactly mean that young John will become a manufactur- es or that hisNsister is an embry- onic artist. But they have succeed ed in co-ordinating their minds and muscles to produce a material result. This coordination is aimed at i'm all their plays. Thought, with quick muscle reaction. Eye and ear impressions with quick mental im- pressions with quick mental reac- tions. Thought and ingenuity com bined with cleverness of the fingers. The little things they make and do are not so innocent as they look.
 Of course, not all children arc able to go to kindergarten. Some are not strong enough; sometimes the distance is too great.
 For worried mothers who are debating the problem, however, the above facts may shed little light.

Mr.. Taft through his service TO his

when partisan feeling ran high and

A BATTLE ROYAL

The other day Governor Theodore
ChristiansOn did what it has been ex-
pected for the past six years he would
do some time, that is file for the
Republican nomination to the United
States Senate. Senator Thomas d..
Schall is also expected to file on the
Republican ticket in the near future.
That means a political battle. and a
real one too Members Of the same
party are of course supposed to be
good friends, possess lots of brother
ly love. but we will wager a good
cigar that any Democrat or Farmer
Laborite looks better to Schall than
does Christianson and to Christian
son also there is no love lost toward
Schall. Who ever of the two comes
out on top from the primaries in
June. provided Schall also goes into
the Republican Primaries, will be so
badly battle Scared that a man with
another label will have good oppor-
tunity to win in the general election.

A VOCATIONAL DIFFERENCE

Well at last Babe Ruth has decided
to keep the wolf from his door for the
next two years by accepting the terms
New York Yankee baseball club
owner. The salary dispute has been
on for the past several weeks over
whether Mr. and Mrs. Ruth would
have to skimp along on the $4,000 per
year which the Babe has received for
the past three years as a player on
the Yankee team or whether he would
get the substantial raise which he
thinks he is entitled to as drawing
card notwithstanding his ability to
knock home runs. Ruth asked for
$4,000 per year with a three-year
contract and Col. Rupert was $4,000
and one year tighter with his money.
But now truce has been declared at
figure $4,000 higher than President
Hoover's salary as chief executive of
the United States or to be exact and
specific, just $4,000 per year with a
two-year guarantee of good standing
on the pay roll of the club.
Mr.. Ruth says 1t is not as much as
he is worth as a drawing card and
many fans will agree with him, but
Col. Rupert says that the salary fig
ure has overstretched his drawing
power at the gate.
Well so it is with life! The pres
ident of the United States has to spend
years training for that high position
and after four years of solving stupen-
dous problems has to come before mil
lions of voters to see IL he gets another
chance at the same job with the same
salary or whether his efforts have all
gone i'm vain Mr.. Ruth, ballplayer,
does his daily nine only when the
weather permits and romps away to
the showers and forgets about it until
the opening gong sounds for the next
days short session at the bat. His
actual work period is between
the months of April and October and
the rest of the time he is free to
hunt. fish or play whichever he sees
fit and when the time comes for a
renewal of his job he has only one
man to reckon with.
1t is but another argument-fOr sup
ply and demand. The American peo-
pie, above all else, will pay for their
entertainment and if Babe Ruth,
Rogers HOrnsby or any of the other
famous players can give them what
they want, it is all in the game and
is perfectly all right, but the squand-
ering of so much money toward de-
fraying the expenses of running ball
club will certainly not relieve the
poverty situation in this or any other
country. But what can be done about
| it? 1t the players, who make such
entertainment possible for the enjoy
ment of the thrill-lOving public, do
not get their proportionate share OF
the receipts then that money will stay
i'm the Golfers of the owners and thus
be more isolated from circulation.
