DOUBT THAT BODY OF YANKEE
FLYER WAS BURIED IN FRANCE

near Verdun. French airmen saw
Chapmans plane dive straight down
and break into pieces well inside the
enemy lines. The American had
been fighting five Germans. That
occurred July %. 1916.
May Have tainted
Chapman had been warned
against flying that day, for his
head was still bandaged from bad
scalp wound and his arm still both
cred him from bullet received in
combat a month before. 1t was
never decided whether he tainted
from weakness or was shot in the
air.
Chapman had volunteered, en-
listed in the Foreign Legion in Sep
tember, 1914, and was one of the
four founders of the Lafayette Es-
cadrille. Before the war he had
attended Harvard and then came
to Paris TO study architecture at the
Beaux Arts. War broke out while
he was touring England with his
parents.
Chapman's father has reached no
decision about carving out the in
scription on the tomb at Suresnes,
but is understood to have accepted
the decision of Chapman's war COM
rades, now in Paris, who have con-
cluded that the body is not that OF
the airman.

thought I would surprise you by
coming off here in the woods by
myself and making you a swing

to pull me up out of the we'll. /
told Nurse Jane to keep it secret
until you came from school. Do
you like it?"
"Oh, it's loyelyl" said Baby Bum
ty. But, Uncle Wig, how did you
fasten the grapevine ropes so high
up in the tree?' she asked, for she
knew the rabbit gentleman couldn't
climb.
"Jacko and Jumpo Kinkytail
helped me-" said Mr. Longears. so
think they must have the first
swings in my high low jigger.'
"Of course" said the rabbit and
other animal children.
So Jacko and Jumpo swung high
and swung low on the jigger and
then all the others had their turns
and it was such jolly good fun that
Uncle Wiggily laughed until his
pink nose turned red.
After a while it was the turn of
Curly and Floppy Twistytail, the fat
little pig boys. Both of them want
ed to go first. neither would give
in to the other, and finally Uncle
Wiggily said:
"Get in together, both of you lit
tie fat pigs and swing high and
swing low on my jolly jigger." So
Floppy and Curly got on the high
low jigger together. Up and up
they went and then down and down.
And the next time they went high
up-oh, dearl The grapevine swing
broke and down came Floppy, Curly
and all ker bunk. They fell in a
big pile of leaves so they didn't get
hurt. And the funny part was that
the Bob Cat was hiding under the
leaves hoping to get chance to
nibble Uncle Wiggily. But when the
two fat pig boys fell from the swing
kerbunk on that Bob Cat, why he
gave a grunt and howl, and a jowl
and away he ran, taking his silly
little tail with him.
Then Uncle Wiggily, with the
help of Jacko and Jumpo mended
the high low jigger and there were
plenty more swings to make jolly
fun in the woods And if the baker
mans horses will give the automobile
a piece of watermelon pie, to wash
its face with, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily's rain cabin.

PARIS, June 27. U.P)-Fifteen
years after he fell to his death in
side the German lines after q stub
born air battle above Verdun, the
family of Victor Chapman, first
flyer of the famed Lafayette Esca-
drille to die in combat, is con-
vinced that the body buried under
his name in the American army
cemetery at Suresness is not his.
After hostilities ended. friends
hunted out the grave of Chapman
and found a cross, well inside the
old German lines, which bore on
one side the name of Victor Chap
man and on the other the name
of German soldier.
The tomb was excavated and two
bodies were found, one with bits OF
a German uniform and one with
French equipment. The remains OF
the French soldier were carried
back to Paris and buried in the Sur
esness cemetery, but recently the
body was exhumed to permit COM

UNCLE WIGGILY'S JOLLY FUN

Peering through the bushes and

little animal girls and boys, who
were looking for Uncle Wiggily and
his high low jigger, wondered what
it was they saw moving. They had
been for some time searching Tor
the old rabbit gentleman and that
queer thing Nurse Jane said he was
making.
The children could not guess or
imagine what a high low jigger
could be. Some thought one thing
and some another.
Il hope it's something to eat!
murmured Buster.
Isn't that just like boy rabbit

Jingle, with a sniff of her little

PATRON SAINT
TO BE HON0RED
in SAN ANTONIO

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, June 81.
(U.P)-This city will pay homage
July 13 to its namesake and patron
saint-Saint Anthony.
Solemn ceremonies recalling the
18th century, with high church dig
nitaries officiating, will mark the
seventh centenary celebration Of the
death of st. Anthony here and
wherever Catholics gather through
out the rest of the world
st. Anthony was described by
Pope Leo III as the saint of the
whole world" Eighteenth century
Catholics knew him as the wonder
worker of their church.
When the Franciscan friars ar
rived here with the Spanish soldiers
more than 200 years ago they dedi-
Gated the Alamo to st. Anthony S
memory. From st. Anthony's name
as a boy. Fernando, is derived the
name of San Fernando cathedral
here, where the services will be held.
Born in Lisbon, Portugal, in ll95,
st. Anthony at five made VOW OF
chastity in honor of the immaculate
purity of the Blessed Virgin, con-
secrating himself to celibacy.
At Is he joined the Canons of
st. Augustine in Lisbon, remaining
there two years. Later ne went to
the parent house of the order at
Coimbra, where he spent eight years
in the study of philosophy and the
ology, the sacred scriptures and the

Heber To Seek
Utility District

Looking forward to the possible
formation of a public utility district
in Heber, and working for that end,
John c. Stindt and George Brown
of Heber yesterday afternoon asked
that Edward II. Law. county clerk,
appoint them special deputies for
the purpose of taking oaths of
signers of petition for such a dis
trict.
The county clerk appointed
Stindt and Brown special deputies
without pay. A petition signed by
several Heber taxpayers that they
be appointed was filed.
The proposed formation of pub
lie utility district in Heber, 1t is
believed, is to promote a water sys-
tenn and drainage system, and to
aid in the growth of the town.

.RBIE' GETS HARD
'NG FROM UNEASY FANS

York of the Robins, who has been
Robinson's bitter enemy for years,
and now the feud is on in earnest.
York has been attempting to oust
Robinson ever since the death OF
! Charles Ebbets and last year was
successful in forcing Uncle Will
1 bur- to resign the club presidency
, which he had held for five. years.
The York-Robinson compromise re-
/ suited in York taking the club
presidency with Robinson securing
two-year renewal of his contract
as manager. The contract expires
at the close of the present season
and it is unlikely that York will
consent to its renewal. Then too,
Robinson is a peace-loving charac-
ter and possibly will retire to his
Dover Hall estate and make no at
tempt to retain his post.
Robinson, who played with John
McGraw as member of the old
time Baltimore Orioles. has man.
aged Brooklyn since 1914. He has
won two pennants during his II
years with the Robins, finishing
first in 1916 and again in 1920.
His clubs have finished in first
division on only five occasions, a
second in 1924, third in 1915 and
fourth in 1890 being the best per-
formances outside the pennant win
ming seasons The club finished
fifth on four occasions. sixth seven
times and seventh once. No Robin
son managed Brooklyn team ever
| has finished last.
Robby is proud of his record and
at the opening Of the season said
he planned to resign at the end OF
the season IF Brooklyn wins the
pennant." 1t is virtually certain
that Brooklyn will not win the pen
nant-but Robinson may be forced
1 to quit anyway.

So the children had searched
through the woods, after school, for

they were wondering what it was.

"Oh, it is like clock pendulum" !"

woods? And it must be very big
clock to have SO long pendulum .
Just then Jangle saw something
pink glittering near what seemed
like a large clock pendulum and
the little rabbit girl cried:
It's Daddicumsl l see his pink
