I'D RoMMEL of Baltimore as smooth

I'D ROMMEL of Baltimore, as smooth
- performer on the mapleways as
on the pitchers mound, had high
score for the night with 378. He rolled
mixed doubles paired with Loretta Lea
man Of Washington, who rolled 270,
giving them a total of 648.
They weren't so interested in the
tournament as in battle with Peggy
Babcock of Washington and Ray Won
Dreele, the Baltimore flash, booked on
the same drives. While Rommel was
taking the measure CT Won Dreele his
regular partner in doubles, Peggy, was
handing Loretta a fancy lacing, and it
was a close affair. Miss Babcock made
a strike in the tenth box of the last
same and for a moment it appeared
she and the Dutchman would triumph
by stick or two. But Rommel spared,
which tied the match, and counted nine.
Rommel will return FRIDAY to shoot
with the Regent THYME team, originally
scheduled for Saturday, and If Connie
Mack will give him a days grace re-
porting for Spring training he'll take
part in the big doings Of the knights of

be paid the state. says a warning
just issued by the Automobile Club
of Southern California license de-

the car will have to be turned in
with the white registration slip and,
in addition. the number OF cylinders
on the vehicle will have TO be noted.
To facilitate the big job OF re-
newing licenses on more than two
million vehicles. the auto club IL
cense bureau suggests that motor
lists expecting to apply for 1882 IL
cense plates dig out the required
serial number and number OF cylin-
ders Immediately and write them
legibly on the back of their white
certificates. This will save delay
and an awkward, and sometimes
long search for the serial number
required. as in many cases these
numbers are covered with dirt or
located in places difficult of access.

A DASTARDLY DEED

III DESTRUCTION of portion of the Los
u Angeles aqueduct, apparently by an
explosion engineered by a diSgruntled
former employee of the Los Angeles
water department, is a serious matter
which calls for the speedy apprehension
and punishment of the person or persons
responsible for it.
The blast cut off the entire flow from
Owens Valley into Los Angeles. A large
force of laborers, rushed to the scene
are working feyerishly to close up the
gap before any undesirable results fall
upon the city and they will undoubtedly
prevent any serious water shortage.
That the results could be serious, is
admitted by those in charge of the de-
partment. A great city is practically at
the mercy of its water supply for its
existence. With this cut off untold suf-
fering and misery might be prevented,
but even this is not an assured fact
That there would be great inconvenience
and annoyance is certain.
One wonders what sort of being it is
who is willing to injure thousands of
others in order to satisfy his own griev-
ance whether it be real or fancied. His
tory is full of such incidents however.
Aside from its maliciousness, one mar
vels at the egotism of the culprit who
would think that his puny efforts could
halt or slow down the life of a great city.

No. you can't go skating today"
said Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh, Unkie Wig, why not?"

bit.
Because you must go to school" "

oh, that's SO! I forgot!' spoke
Mr.. Longears. well, I'll go vote
and then I'll go down to the little
lake I made and watch my Squiggle
8ugs do some fancy skating
The rabbit boys and girls went
skating on the large Duck Pond.
And after Uncle Wiggily had voted
at the election, he hoped to the
little lake. 1t was nicely frozen and
on it were skating a number of
Squiggle Bugs. Some were skating
frontward, some were skating back
ward and some weren't skating at all
for they were falling down, as the
ice was very slippery.
How do you like your little lake?"
asked the rabbit gentleman.
Its fine and dandy!" answered
the big SQuiggle Bug. Thank you
for making it for US. Won't you
come and skate yourself?"
Thank you, no. answered Mr..
Longears. In the first place did
not bring my skates. In the second
place the lake is too small. If I got
on the ice there would be no room
for you bugs" which was true
enough SO Uncle Wiggily watched
his skating bugs and he was glad
they were so happy.
To and fro the Squigglers glided
on their skates, which were made
from little safety pins They were
having grand fun when, all of a
sudden, there was a cracking
sound at one edge Of the little lake
and a voice cried:
oh, she's broken through and
gone in!'
who has?" asked Mr.. Longears.
My little sister," buzzed the big
Squiggle Bug. Surely enough. the
little Squiggler, skating on thin ice,
had fallen through. But Uncle
Wiggily reached over, lifted her out
and, putting the sister Squiggler in
his warm fur coat pocket, he ran
home with her to his bungalow,
where Nurse Jane put her to bed
and gave her hot chocolate.
So the sister Squiggler did not
catch cold and the others kept off
the thin ice and had lots of fun
skating on the little lake. And if

cold. But they are going to skate,
that is, as soon as the weather gets
frosty enough TO freeze ice on the
little lake"
THE Squigglers will not have
long to watt said Nurse Jane. 81
think it is going to be freezing to-
night"
Then I must hurry and fill the
hole with water said Uncle Wig
gily.
From his bungalow kitchen he
carried three pals of water TO the
hole he had dug, and, pouring the
water in, he soon had a little lake.
Very tiny was the lake, but it was
big enough for Squiggle Bugs. and
when the jolly little, red-spotted
creatures flew from their nests to
look at what Uncle Wiggily had
made for them, the biggest Squig-
gler buzZed happily and said:
"Oh, what wonderful time we
shall have skating on our little
lake!"

little Squiggler.
And we'll drink hot chocolate
after we get through skating" said
a middlesized Squiggler.
That will be fine!' chuckled Mr..
Longears.
Now that he had dug the little
hole and filled it with a little water,
making a little lake, all that re-
mained was for the water to freeze.
And that it did in the night. for it
grew very cold after dark. Winter
was comm to Woodland, where
Uncle Wiggily lived.
When the little bunny rabbits
awakened in the hollow stump
bungalow that morning and felt
how cold it was, Buster gave a
shout and called to the others:
