It was still quite light?" the superintendent asked, and noting Duekworths nod, continued then why did you pull the curtain?"
 Well" Duckworth smiled, T was here with Miss Blake and we did not particularly want to bs op- posite those windows. Besides it was hardly light enough for her to see the music.
 No one suggested who the woman might have been, and interest turn ed at once to Major Gresham, an- nounced by the maid, who said that he had called at the suggestion of the sisters.
 The major, short, slightly bow legged, florid and frowning, entered pompously. Morning, Richmond" :" he began, have you got the rights of it?"
 T understand that you were in the garden last night. I should like to know what you can tell me about it, when you came and what you were doing?"
 The majors wrath famed up at what he took to be the insinuations in the question. What can l tell you" he exclaimed indignantly, and then, after Richmond explained his purpose of clearing up the mys- tery, he said, "Of course, I'll help you. That's what I came for. What can I do for you?"
 But his answer to Richmond's questions were not in keeping witt this quieter mood. He clustered and protested that the question: were impertinent. AS to the time he left his home to go across thS links to the Querdling eStati through the gate from the links Call it 8:45, but what's the goot of asking silly questions like that?'

VACATION DESERTED

1t is quite likely that Senator Borah,
Senator Norris and even our own Hiram
will join in the wish that Mr. Hoover has
pleasant time on the trip which he
starts today to visit Porto Rico and the
Virgin Islands.
Certainly the chief executive is entitled
to this vacation and no other man in the
country has had a more strenuous time
for the past year
Under the most favorable conditions
the office of President of the United
States is a trying one. When one has to
buck hostile congress day after day,
and be the goat for all sorts of COM
plants, real and imaginary, it is asking
a great deal of a man to stand up under
it.
Mr.. Hoover has we'll earned a brief
respite. His trip will not mean that he
is entirely relieved from the burden of
his office, for like the old Man of the
Sea- or 'Mary's Little Lamb, it follows
him wherever he goes.
1t may be that Porto Rico and our new
possessions-the Virgin Islands-will be
able to dig up few griefs to present to
the President. Certainly they would
make him feel right at home if this
should be done.
The President travels on warship-
sort of grim reminder that he is still in
a war. If he would enjoy his trip he
would do we'll not to let his mind wander
forward to next December.
Reports that he had taken the Wicker
sham report along with him, to be drop

UP TO JIMMY

Filing of charges against Mayor jim
my Walker of New York indicates the
seriousness of conditions there, but comes
as no surprise to those who have been
following the various exposes of vice and
corruption among officials of the ma
tion's metropolis.
The mere filing of charges does not
prove that they are true or that the may
or is responsible for the undesirable state
of affairs. 1t is rather indelicate to dis
cuss them at all while the mayor is a
guest within the borders of California.
Wisely Walker refuses to discuss the
charges, pointing out that long distance
controversy is certain to become garbled.
When his present vacation is completed
he intends to return to New York and
face his accusers.
Jimmy is a picturesque figure and
popular one. He has the ability to make
friends wherever he goes and is adding
new ones on his present visit to Califor-
MIA. His best friends, however, would
never accuse him of taking the mayors
job too seriously. He is not constructed
that way.
California hospitality will withhold
Judgment on the charges until they are
given a hearing, will hope that the mayor
enjoys himself to the utmost while here
and will wish him luck on his departure
to defend his administration.

T HREE ACCUSED
In DEATH CAR
HIGHWAY TRAGEDY

ONTARIO, Cal, March 10. W.D
"A woman and two men were under
arrest here today. charged with
deliberately" running down and
killing Paul Gunter. Elk City, Okla,
and injuring his three companions,
Ben Gunter, Fred Nichols and Cafe
Martinez of the same city.
The trio, held on charges of hit
and run driving, gave their names
as Mrs. Maria Neahr, 33, John
Ochoa, 38, and Lee Huerta, "a, all
of Los Angeles.
Police reported that the four
Oklahoma men were walking along
the highway near Bloomington when
an automobile bore down upon
them, deliberately swung off the
pavement, and Knocked them to the
ground.
v. NJ. Sedgwick, Santa Barbara, a
motorist, gave chase and secured
the license number of the automo-

stolen two weeks ago. Mrs. Neahr
and her companions were arrested

broad, slimpsy lettuce leaf and how
she moved what I suppose you can
call her fingers, though of course
rabbits don't have fingers like yours.
Their fingers are more like those on
the paw of your dog.
''Oh, so that's how you did it,"
said Uncle Wiggily. You Just put
your paw under the lettuce leaf and
jiggled your fingers and the leaf
danced. didn't it, Ticky?"
YES" said the founding bunny.
That's the way to do it."
You children may try this trick,
if you please. Take lettuce leaf,
put it on a plate or the table and
slip your hand under the leaf. I
mean the lettuce leaf and not the
table leaf. The leaf should be large
and slimpsy like hats some ladies
wear. Now twiddle or jiggle your
fingers as if you were tickling the
leaf and see it dance. If you
haven't a lettuce leaf crumple up
a piece of paper and it will do as
we'll for this trick
"Ha! Hal" laughed Uncle Wiggily.
That was a very good trick, Ticky.
Not only did you tickle my wife,
Nurse Jane and me, but you even
tickled the lettuce leaf and made
it dance. I wonder if I could do
that trick?"
"Of course you can" said Ticky.
TRY it."
Uncle Wiggily put the lettuce leaf
on the table in front of him. But,
just as he was going to do the trick,
all of sudden, the door opened and
in came-Well, now, isn't that too
bad! No more room left to tell you
in this story, who came in. But you
shall find out in the next story. And
if the rubber boot will play hop
scotch with the bedroom slipper and
not lose its hair ribbon, I'll tell you
about Uncle Wiggily and the dane
ing dish.

motion picture of the date industry
in the neighboring valley, beginning
with scenes of the raw desert, and
leading UP through the planting OF
trees and fertilization of blossoms
to the full bearing trees for which
Coachella is noted. The picture al
so showed the methods of covering,
thinning and packing dates and
ended with close up views of packed
boxes of luscious Deglet Moor dates.
