UNCLE WIGGmY'S MAKE
RELIEVE

Uncle Wiggily was sitting, fast
asleep, near the counter OF Baby
Bunty's play store in the woods.
Bunty had started the store with
some shells, heaps OF sand and
gravel. gobs of mud, sticks, leaves
and bits of bark. Then Jingle and
Jangle had bought these things,
pretending they were candy gum
drops, lollypops and ice cream
cones.
And if you could pretend and
make believe hard enough these red
stones might really turn into gum
drops said Bunty.
But the little rabbit girls became
tired OF playing store SO Uncle Wig
gily said he would keep it for them
while they had a game OF tag. Then
Uncle Wiggily fell asleep and, all of
a sudden, as I told you in the story
before this, there was a rustling IN
the bushes and strange customer
came toward the play store. A
customer, you know, IS some one
who buys something in a play store
or a real store

FORMER TEXAS
CHIEF APPROVES
HOOVER'S PLAN

BRADY, Texas, July lS. (U.D -
Farmer Jim" Ferguson, former
governor of Texas. IS strongly IN
favor OF President Hooyers plan
for a one-year suspension OF inter-
governmental debts.
Ferguson broke a silence that had
existed since his wife was defeated
year ago in her campaign against
Governor Ross Sterling to predict
that the plan would restore the
good will of European nations to-
ward the United States.
He suggested that a similar mora
torium toward all debts owed by
people within the United States
would go a long way toward restor-
ing confidence OF Americans.
Not frozen loans but frozen con-
fidence OF the people is the cause
OF the present economic condition,
he said.
Ferguson made a plea for the re-
turn Of the original constitutional
principal that congress issue money
and fix its value" and urged repeal
of the federal reserve system law,
claiming that it usurped the power
formerly held by local bankers in
using their own discretion in tiding
good customers over difficult pc
riods.

them to me for nothing"
oh" said Uncle Wiggily again,
sort of unhappy like.
Double OH" chuckled the Bob
Cat, supercilious like and sneering.
Then Uncle Wiggily remembered
when he was a little boy rabbit how
he used to pretend that his glass
of milk was a strawberry ice cream
soda and how, when he made be-
lieve hard enough, he really thought
he was tasting the treat.
Now" said Uncle Wiggily to him
self. I'm going to make believe
something SO I can get away from
the Bob Cat. First I'll see if / can
make him believe these red stones
are gum drops Taking a paw full
of the red stones that Bunty sold
for gum drops, Uncle Wiggily held
them out to the Bob Cat.
Chew these lovely gum drops"
said the rabbit. He thought if the
Bob Cat really bit on the stones
they would break his teeth and
then he couldn't bite any nibbles
off the bunny's ears. But the Bob
Cat was too smart for that kind of
make believe.
"I'll not bite those red stones and
pretend they are gum drops" he
snarled and Uncle Wiggily was dis
appointed. But he was going to try
again a different make believe. All
of a sudden he looked past the Bob
Cat, sort of behind him. and cried:
"Oh, Pm SO glad you've come, Mr..
Police Dog You're just in time.
Come here, quickly, Police Dog and
make this Bob Cat get out of Ba-
by Bunty's play storel" And no
sooner had Uncle Wiggily said this,
in loud voice, than the Bob Cat
howled:
Don't bite me, Police Dog! I'll
be good I'll go awayl" And away
he ran so ne didn't nibble Uncle
Wiggily. And the rabbit gentleman
danced up and down on the counter
of Bunty's play store and said:
Hal Hal thought If l made be-
lieye hard enough the Bob Cat
would think the Police Dog was
there when he wasn't at all. MY
trick worked"
Then everything was all right.
And If the little boy next door will
stop jumping over the fence to
make the pussy cat go to sleep in
the flower bed, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily's fun party.
Imperial Valley press., 1931-07-18

What have we here?" groWled
the Bob Cat, for he was the strange
customer. "Hal Hal" mewed the
Bob Cat. Here is Uncle Wiggily
sound asleep, but what is all that
stuff spread out on the leaf covered
boards near him? This is a puzzle.
I must be careful. It may be q
trap to catch me"
The Bob Cat walked very softly
into the play store where Uncle
Wiggily was ready to make believe
he was selling red stones for gum
drops and little gobs Of nice, clean
mud for chocolate lollypops The
only thing Uncle Wiggily wasn't
pretending or making believe about
was his sleep. That was real.
All of a sudden the Bob Cat
stepped on a stick which broke with
a loud snap and this awakened
Uncle Wiggily. Before the rabbit
saw the Bob Cat, but only heard
some one coming into the store,
Uncle Wiggily said:
We'll, what do you want to buy
today?"
What do you mean-buy?"
snarled. the Bob Cat.
Then Uncle Wiggily, who was now
quite wide awake, looked and saw
who his customer was.
oh said Uncle Wiggily.
Double OH" chuckled the Bob
Cat, for he was feeling fine because
he thought he would soon have
some nibbles off Uncle Wiggilys
ears.
Then you didn't come to Baby
Bunty's store which I am keeping
for her, TO buy anything, did you
Mr. Bob Cat?" asked the bunny
gentleman.
Yes, I came to buy something, :"
said the Bob Cat with a most un-
pleasant grin. I wouldn't call it 4
smile.
What do you want to buy?'
asked Mr.. Longears, speaking as
much like real storekeeper as he
could. Il have some very fine
chocolate lollypops and some of the
best red gum drops you ever ate"
i didn't come TO buy anything
like that" snarled the Bob Cat. II
came TO buy some nibbles off your
ears and I'm not going TO pay for
them, either. You've got TO give

TWO WOMEN
w. C. COSTELLO
Manager

THERE were photographs of two wom-
en- in last nights Press which are of
considerable interest though neither of
the women knows the other and they are
as far apart in every way as the two
poles.
One is the mother of Captain George
Endres, Hungarian flyer, who this week
crossed the Atlantic by plane. The cap
tain's flight was for the purpose of call
ing attention to injustices which he
claims his country is suffering as result
of the World war
1t also had another purpose = to help
the captain obtain enough money to pro-
vide treatment for his mother who is a
victim of cancer. His mother is shown
as a representative of the so called
peasant type" large, solid, with the pa
tient eyes of those who have suffered
long in body and soul and who have
worked hard from the time they were
able TO toddle.
One could not look at her picture with
out inwardly hoping that her son can
help her and that her days of suffering
may soon be ended There is a silent ap-
peal from her that cannot be denied.
The other picture showed woman
who has made money and lots of it, by
preaching the Word of the Lord. She,
too, has known her time of suffering and
of want, but she has not learned much
from it. Instead of her experience teach

ouency of the transmitter and can
not be changed by the operators OF
the cars. The only adjustment will
be for regulation OF volume and for
turning the set off and on.
Each car will be equipped with a
pair of head receivers so that IN
case absolute privacy of reception
is desired, the operator will be able
TO plug in the head receiver, which
cuts off the loud speaker and pre-
vents the possibility OF the message
being heard by ears not intended.
System Explained
At an informal inspection of the
new radio station recently when the
details Of the broadcasting system
were explained by Wiley and Chief
OF Police William J. Quinn to news
papermen and others, Quinn said:
The motor car already has proved
its great value in speeding up po-
lice work Without this fast trans
portation we could not hope TO cope
with the criminal who himself uses
an automobile in swift attacks.
With the addition of radio the
value Of the motor car is increased
a hundred-fold.
"A Buick cruising a certain area
is enabled TO reach any point with
in that territory obviously more
quickly than if it had to travel
from a fixed station further away.
Moreover, the constant flow of
radio communication will keep all
officers informed. In event OF
emergency all machines could be
modified at any point within
very short space Of time. Hereto
fore. when cars went out they ma
turally were out of touch with the
stations until reporting back by
phone. This delay will be elimi-
mated by radio In every way the
advantage is with the car equipped
with a reception set"
In keeping with the progressive
step of the police department in
employing radio to help combat
crime, it has augmented its already
large fleet of Buick cars by the re-
cent purchase OF seven 1881 Buick
Straight Eight phaetons, embodying
the latest mechanical equipment
devised by Buick engineers, includ-

SAN FRANCISCO
POLICE CARS TO
CONTAIN RADIOS

SAN FRANCISCO, July l8. tSpe-
ciaD-One of the most progressive
steps ever taken By the San Fran
cisco police department in adyan-
cling its activities TO combat crime
is its new radio system, which Is
about to be put in operation.
The San Francisco department OF
electricity, under the direction OF
Chief Ralph w Wiley, has just
completed the city fire and police
brcadcasting station in Jefferson
Square. Each of the Buick cars
In the service Of the police depart
nent is being equipped with spe-
eial police radio receiving set con-
rtantly tuned in on the wave length
Of KGPD, as the new city radio
transmitting station is designated.
The adaptation of radio to auto
mobile police duties has proved so
successful in other cities that the
installation here is expected to as
sist materially in the big drive on
crime. Distances that formerly had
TO be travelled from fixed stations
will be greatly reduced because OF
the presence in various areas OF the
radio-equipped Bucks. In the man
ner that ships answer the SOS, the
nearest police car to the point Of
trouble will respond TO the mes
sage sent out from the broadcast
station.
The broadcasting station, which
operates on a frequency Of 241o XII
locycles t1241s meters, is Of 400
watt power, sufficient to carry mes
sages clearly to the furthermost
points in the city. AS it will trans
NIT on wave length far below the
broadcast of frequencies assigned
for public use, the regular radio set
such as is used in the home will be
prevented from picking up messages
emanating from the police station.
Receiving sets are being installed
in approximately 40 cars in the po-

Hammering away at his forge. for
which work he received as low as
s21 a month and never more than

With this money he purchased
tools and materials for his model,
which he conceived six years ago
when a German school boy. He
came to the United States from
Germany only four years ago.
The invention embodies a pair OF
elongated cylindrical bodies, ar

between these cylindrical containers
is an elongated cabin structure
which cooperates with them in in
