Lopez, beloved Jack Carter this
morning as he called prisoners from

Mexican returned, stepping forward.
Carter stared for a moment. theE

A few moments before the Mexican
had answered to the name of Gar
cia. When booked by city police
at the county Jail, charged with
being drunk. the mysterious MeXi-
can told jailers his name was Il.
Gonzales. Somewhat later, just to
correct a slight misunderstanding
he informed his wardens his real

was q clothes basket and, of late,
Mr.. Longears had put on four baby
carriage wheels to make it land cas-
ier. For a propeller Mr.. Longears
used an electric fan. And to make
his ship go up in the air he had
fastened to it more than a dozen
big red, blue and green circus bal
looms filled with gas.
In order that the airShip would
not go up when he didn't want it
to, Uncle Wiggily had tied it fast
to the hangar with ropes.
We'll, I guess everything is all
ready for our sky ride" said the
rabbit to the pig when they had
wheeled the ship out of the hangar.
Get in, Twisty, and III cast off the
holding ropes and we'll so up"
Right, OH" grunted the pig. He
climbed into the clothes basket, Un-
Gle Wiggily followed, and loosened
the holding ropes. The airship went
up, but only little way, hardly
higher than the hangar.
whats the matter, Wiggy?"
asked Mr.. Twistytail. why don't
we go up in the sky for a ride?'
I'm afraid answered the rab-
bit, that you and are a little too
heavy for my sky ride. One of US
is too fat"
Then it must be you,' grunted
the pig mo one could call me fat"
"Oh, no." thought Uncle Wiggily
to himself with a smile. But he did
not say this aloud for he did not
want to hurt the pigs feelings. In
stead, Uncle Wiggily said" Well, I
guess l am getting a little fat. But.
anyhow, there is too much weight in
the ship to let it go up very high.
However, by making the electric fan
go faster I think we can rise. Hold
tight!'
Mr.. Twistytail held tight, Uncle
Wiggily made the fan go faster and
the airship cleared the top OF the
garage and went on sailing into the
sky
Uncle Wiggily leaned over the side
OF the basket and looked down at
the earth below.
Don't lean over too far!" grunt-
ed the pig.
"Why?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
You might fall OUT went on the
fat pig. That would leave me all
alone in the airship and l don't
know how to run it. Don't lean too
far. for my sake, Wiggy."
Uncle Wiggily was just going to
say he wouldn't when, all of a sud-
den, he did lean too far and out he
fell. Down, down, down fell the
rabbit cut Of his airship. Mr.. Twis-
tytail cried: oh, dear mel"
And what happened next you
shall hear in the story tomorrow
night, which will be about Uncle
Wiggily and the Bear. And l do
hope the tomato soup will not try to
jump over the sugar bowl and tag
the pie.

Out he fell.

laugh and, for a moment, Uncle
Wiggily thought it might be the
Fox. But a moment later he saw a
fat, jolly old pig gentleman waddle
out from behind an old rose bush
and then Mr.. Longears knew it was
all right.
why, hello, Mr.. Twistytail,
greeted the rabbit. why did you
try to play a trick on me and make
believe you were the Fox?"
"Oh, I didn't really mean to scare
you" chuckled the pig. But I just
wanted to see what you'd do if l
should hide and call to you"
We'll, in another moment l
would have hoped into my bunga-
low and I would have locked the
door" said the bunny uncle. How
ever, as I now see 1t is you, let's
have some fun"
What shall we do?' asked Uncle
Wiggily.
Lets go for a sky ride in your
airship," grunted the pig.
"A jolly good idea" agreed Mr..
Longears. "Ill get it out Of the
hangar at once"
Uncle Wiggily kept his automobile
in a garage, just like the one back
Of your house. But his airship the
rabbit gentleman kept in big shed
called a hanger.
"IH help you," offered Mr.. Twis-
tytail, as he waddled after the rab-
bit. Mr.. TWistytail didn't walk an
he couldn't run, he was so fat. So
he waddled, almost like Mr.. Wib-
blewobble, the fat duck gentleman
father of Lulu, Alice and Jimmie
WibbleWobble.
Thanks lot,' replied Mr.. Long
ears.
1t did not take him long, with the
help of Mr. Twistytail, to wheel the
airplane out of the hangar. Uncle
Wiggily's sky riding machine wasn't
exactly an airplane. 1t was more
like a dirigible. The bottom part

its rowdyism, and a gentleman when the
passing years made him the innocent vic

cago American League baseball team.
whom death claimed today, and whose
lovable character gained for him the title
old Roman, contraction for "the mob
lest Roman OF them all.
Comiskey was outstanding in the eigh-
ties and ninetieS, not only as a star base
ball player and manager, but as a star
player and manager who said please"
and thank YOU and pardon me- when
the rank and file Of his fellow players
might justly be accused of not knowing
such words existed.
His reputation for gentlemanly con-
duct was nationwide in those days and
followed him in his career as the owner
OF the Chicago club and a power in or
ganized baseball.
When his boys of the 1919 Chicago
team sold him out for money in the world
series scandal that rocked baseball to its
foundation, it broke Comiskey's heart
and started the illness that took II long
years to bring him death. 1t was not
only that his boys" had turned traitor to
him, but because they had debauched the
great game which he loved, that turned
him from fine, stalwart, outstanding,
vigorous man, despite his 60 odd years,
to a frail, bent and disillusioned shell of
his former self.
But even in his wretchedness, he was
still the gentleman. We were fortunate
enough to have had personal contact with
him here in El Centro number of years
ago, and his manner even then bore out
the stories of his earlier career. He was
not bitter toward those who had injured
him nor was he sorry for himself. He
pited them as father would pity erring
sons, and he grieved that his idol-base-
ball-which he envisiOned as holding all
the ideals of American youth, had been
dragged in the dust.
In the history Of great and prosper
Gus nation, the "Old Roman" played
comparatively minor part but he played
it as a gentleman and as a gentleman he
will always be remembered.
The millennium is coming-Mussolini is
advocating naval reduction. But per-
haps he does not mean for Italy.

NAVY DAY

tUHILE Navy Day which is to be OBJ
W served throughout the nation tomor-
row, may not be of much significance to
inland dwellers, it is we'll even for this
class of Americans that one day in the
year is dedicated to the nations first line
of defense.
The navy, from the earliest days of the
Revolution, has held an honored place in
American history with numerous Incl
dents of valor in peace time as well as in
war.
Possibly the outstanding job of the
navy in peace was its friendly mission to
Japan under Commodore Perry, which
resulted in bringing Japan out from the
darkness Of the past to a modern nation
which has become a real world leader.
What Japan is today it truly owes to that
visit by Perry and his men.
In all parts Of the globe the American
bluej jacket has been found on the job IN
time of disaster, giving relief and succor
to people of all nations. The terrible
Italian earthquakes in 1908 found the
American fleet under Admiral Evans, re-
turning from its world cruise, ready to
administer to the thousands Of needy.
The year Defore when Etna and Nesu-
vius erupted, American naval relief was
extended Our own San Francisco dis
aster found the navy on the job.
There is no Central or South American
country that has not had the experience
of finding an American naval vessel
speeding to the rescue or on the job when
disaster visited it.
Only short time ago an American
naval vessel was used as power plant
by one of our Pacific coast cities which
was without electric power due TO
drought.
To cite the record of American naval
achievement in time of war would be i'm
possible. 1t is sufficient to point out the
manner in which the navy escorted the
army to France in 1918, not one vessel
under American naval convoy being lost.
The navy is branch Of the government
in which every American may take pride.
1t is most fitting that Navy Day should
be celebrated on the birthday Of one who
was particularly proud Of it-Theodore
Roosevelt. The men who wear the navy
blue, from the humblest rookie to the
most pompous admiral, may we'll share
Roosevelts pride in the nayy's record OF
achievement.

they are helping, the organizers
stress.
Letters explaining the plan will
be sent organizations throughout
the state, and Mrs. Leslie, who will
appoint her vice chairmen, will work
out a state organization.
