had finished out in front in the relay.
They were the happiest kids on the field
but their medals didn't mean as much to
them as the fatherly whack the coach
gave one, and the well-understood kick
in the running breecheS that the other
got, for we heard them talking about
their coach later on and any man would
be proud to have kids think of him what
they do of their coach.
Comment on the track meet would not
be complete without a well-deserved
tribute to a youngSter from Brawley-
Colgrove, we believe. Handicapped by the
loss OF an arm, this boy went into the
broad jump and made splendid show
ing. The he entered the high jump and
took first place. He later tried to break
the record, but failed, largely we believe
because he was tired from so much jump
ing.
And did he get a hand? No youngster
could root against his own school of
course, but looking around the specta-
tors one could just feel" everyone of
them trying to put young Colgrove over
the bar every time he jumped. 1t was
not sympathy nor charity. 1t was ad-
miration for the old spirit that handcaps
cannot overcome. 1t was sportsmanship
in the finest sense, and Colgrove merited
it.
These youngsters can give us plenty
of lessons. We crab and become anxious
about Flaming Youth, and too often
are inclined to feel that all youth is dis
solute, forgetting in our smugness and
satisfaction with ourselves that in GER
tain fundamentals they are miles ahead

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SPOOL
WAGON

Once upon a time, when it was
Saturday and there were no classes
in the Hollow Stump School where
the Lady Mouse Teacher heard the
lessons of the animal children, Un-
Gle Wiggily had a funny adventure
To start at the beginning, where
all stories should commence, Uncle
Wiggily had to stay home in his
bungalow to take care OF Baby Bun
ty, Jingle and Jangle, all girl rab-
bits. Jingle and Jangle were twins
and Baby Bunty was an orphan who,
for a long time, had lived with Mr..
Longears He loved her as much as
he loved his own bunnies.
The reason Uncle WiggilY had to
stay home and take care of Baby
Bunty, Jingle and Jangle was be-
cause they had colds and couldn't
go out to play in the snow with all
the other children. Mrs. Longears,
the bunny rabbit mother, had gone
down town shopping with Mrs.
Twistytail, the lady pig. Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy had gone to the other
side of the woods to visit her sister.

and Baby Bunty started to play
with their toys they would keep right
on doing that and not bother him.
But after a while Jingle became
tired of playing with her doll. And
when Jangle had all her washing
hung out on the play line to dry
back Of the piano, she looked Tor
some other fun. And when Baby
Bunty had built about ten different
houses of blocks and knocked them
all down she said:
'Oh, dear! l wish / had some
thing to do"
So do L" said Jingle.
so do Il" said Jangle.
Then, all of a sudden. they ran

what to do. We want to have some

trying to read his paper But he
couldn't because Bunty crawled up
, in his lap, Jingle put her paw over
his eyes and Jangle took away the
paper
"We want some new fun" cried
Jingle.
! Different fun" added Jingle.
Cant you take us out in the
snow?' begged Baby Bunty.
"Oh, my goodness. mol Not with
your coldslo answered Uncle Wig
gily. Then the three little rabbit
girls became so fussy and teasing
that poor Mr.. Longears didn't know
what to do, until, all of sudden,
he thought of making some spool

said the rabbit gentleman, "you
all have dolls, haven t you?"

with them,' said Jingle.
"How would each of you like a
, little spool wagon so you could put
your dolls in it and ride them around
the room?' asked Mr.. Longears.
"Oh, that would be lovely!" ex-
claimed Baby Bunty. but we have
no spool wagons. -
HI'n make them,' promised
Uncle Wiggily. He found three
empty pasteboard boxes. Reaching
out of bungalow window to q tree
that grew near by Mr.. Longears

for the wheels to turn around on.

NOCALES TEAM
GETS PLACE in
ARIZONA LEAGUE

TUCSON. Ariz., March 2. (U.P)--
An international baseball league IN
the west became a reality today With
admission of the Internationales oil
Nogales, Sonora, to the Arizona
State league.
The Internationales, supported by
businessmen of Nogales, Ariz., ana
Nogales, Sonora, will replace Miami,
Ariz., which gave up its franchise
at the close OF the 1890 season.
Admission of the Nogales club,
completing a six club circuit, came
after negotiations lasting several
weeks. The club sought entry on
a basis of being granted exemption
from payment of $3.50 per month as
a league assessment. This request
was granted.
Besides Nogales, the league Is
composed of clubs from Phoenix,
Tucson, Globe, Bisbee and El Paso,
Texas.
League directors also re-establish-
ed the split season and did away
with a proposal to provide purse
for the three leading teams.
All the Nogales home games will
be played in Nogales. Sonora, at the
brewery ball park. AT least four
Mexican players, whose salaries will
be paid by Governor Francisco
Elias of Sonora, will be used.

TRUE DEMOCRACY
W. G. COSTELLO,
Manager

Racial preiudices and snobbery alto
gether too prevalent among adults, have
little standing in valley high school cir
cles if Saturdays track meet in this city
may be considered q criterion. And good
craftsmanship, the development of which
is one of the outstanding charaeterlS-
tics of inter-school competition, held full
sway.
For instance there was the young col
ored boy from Brawley, entered IN one
of the longer dashes. He was hopeless
" outclassed but finished his run and
trotted over to his teammates, who well
coined him as warmly as though he had
finished first.
Later this youngster entered into the
high Jump and finished among the first
three. Each time he tried he drew the
same applause if he made it and the same
encouragement if he missed, that was ac-
corded any of the other boys.
A Chinese boy took first place in the
Glass c broad Jump. He was nearly put
out of commission before winning, be-
cause his teammates kept slapping him
on the back and otherwise encouraging
him while the jumping distance kept
growing larger and larger, and the Chin
ese youngster maintained his lead. There
was about as much prejudice or snobbery
present as there is hair on billiard ball.
The Brawley team had number OF
japanese boys on it. What they did in
some of the races is something a Cen
tral rooter does not remember with much
enthusiasm, except what is due from

So Uncle Wiggily had to look after
three little rabbit girls, each with a
cold so she couldn't go out.
Now you know how it is when you
must stay in the house or bungalow
instead of going out TO play in the
fresh air. Unless you can play and
amuse yourself with toys or read a

you a story why, after a time, you
get fussy and tired.
It was this way with Jingle, jan

in-between weight coats prove their
worth. The coats that both look
and feel cooler, but that still have
some warmth when you need 1t.
There are plenty Of them And
they give you the well-dressed feel

They are the coats Of lightweight
woolens-the wool crepes, the al
most sheer hubby weaves; the mesh

They're adaptable fabrics, resist
ing both heat and cold. And they
lie light as feather on the
shoulders.
Lots Of springs most fashionable
coats are designed so they not only
look cooler, but actually are cooler.
In these lighter weight fabrics they
make the perfect combination for
this in-between time Of year.

ness of material around the neck
