UNCLE WIGGILY'S WHISPERS

TOO longi Too longl" said Uncle
Wiggily one day as ne sat on a
cracker in his hollow stump bunga-
low. Quite too long!"
do you mean you have been sit
ting on that cracker too long?'
asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy with
a little smile as she looked at the
rabbit uncle.
"Oh, am I sitting on cracker?"
asked Mr.. Longears in surprise. Il
thought I felt something queerl'
"Of course you are sitting on a
cracker!" squeaked Nurse Jane, and,
surely enogh, he was. Only, of
course, Uncle Wiggily was also sit
ting on a chair, which held the
cracker as we'll as himself.
How did the cracker get in my
easy chair?" asked the rabbit gen.

Tainted, Captain Took Ship
Into Teeth of Gale,
inquiry Shows.

BIZ United Press
SAINT NAZAIRE, France, June
16.-Taunts by passengers that he
was a fresh water sailor angered
the captain Of the pleasure boat
Saint Philibert into taking his ship
70 sea on its last fatal voyage, in
curry into the disaster revealed
today.
Excursionists whom Captain
Olive had taken to the island Of
Noir-M outier. in the Bay Of Biscay,
for days outing pressed the cap
tain to risk the return TO Nantes
up the Loire river, it was said.
Against his better judgment, sur
vivors of Sundays disaster said in
the inquiry today, the captain con-
sented and put TO sea with his
barometers showing him a storm
of hurricane intensity was brewing.
It sank the boat with all on board
and all but seven persisted.
The captain, on the bridge, went
down with his ship. Estimate Of
the total dead. remained uncertain
today, but authorities said as many
as $50 may have been lost.
In SO Feet Of Water
The Saint Philbert was found ly-
ing in thirty-six feet of water on a
rock shelf, and divers prepared to
remove the bodies. They estimated
100 still were imprisoned in cabins.
Most of the victims were workers
from Nantes. The bodies recovered
were taken to the Duchess Anne's
castle at Nantes, including eleven
victims from the same family. They
will be given mass burial, prob
ably Wednesday.
Government experts sought to
place the responsibility for the dis
aster. particularly trying to de-
termine whether the boat was over
loaded.
Rescue workers, searching the
storm-swept sea from the air, in
boats and in divers cumbersome
uniforms beneath the waves, brought
scores Of bodies ashore, where hys-
terical relatives awaited their re-
turn.
100 Bodies Recovered
They have recovered approx
mately 100 bodies, many of which
were trapped in the cabins. The
rescue work had to be stopped
temporarily during the night, due
to heavy seas, but was resumed to-
day. The government took an &C
tive hand in seeking to bring relief
to the families of victims.
Nearly 100 families lost relatives
In the disaster, described as the
worst maritime catastrophere in re-
cent French history. Tt was learned
that about fifty small children were
on board for whom no tickets had
been required-and that they were
not counted in the original eSti-
mates at the steamship Offices, which
said 467 persons had sailed on the
excursion down the bay.
Between 80 and 100 passengers
stayed at Noir- Moutier, refusing to
go back on the st. Philibert, due to
the storTn-a premonition which
saved their lives.

THIS is a
COMEDY ON VIEW

In speaking of "Nancy's Private
Affairs" I am not so hot the way
it was acted.
Frances Dale as Nancy Gibson
fails to get the farce Of this play
at times. Her first entrance is very
much the freak idea Of fun. So
much over the mark in makeup and
conception that it is overdraWn.
Then when she gets on the fine
glads-she is still too much over
drawn.
Donald Woods is the patent
leather type of hero that even a
movie director would not tolerate.
The playwright forgetS his char
acters on the stage. Look at the
first act and see the people who
just sit around.
Take another look at the sec
ond act and see what Yvonne Steb-
bins has to suffer by not talking
and just sitting. Darn few lines
she has.
Frances Busby is just as much in
this picture as if she had never done
the part. She has a chance to give
this play something and she fails.
In fact to me "Nancy's Private
Affair" is just a mess. Even the
lights on a certain spot in the first
act was terrible.
Also, might tell you that the fly
ing bats have been killed. Gun
less they have children)

cy's Private Affair" To me it is
bad.

By United Press
MADRID, June 16.-The repub-
lican regime faced the threat of Sc
rious disorders in strong Catholic
sections OF Spain today as a result
of the deportation Of Pedro, Car
dinal Segura, primate Of Spain.
Cardinal Segura was hurried out
Of the country only a few days after
his return from Rome, where he re-
ported to Pope Plus XXI on recent
anti-religious riots in Spain.
The primates deportation was &C
companied by disturbances in which
one person was killed and forty in
jured.
Cardinal Segura,. whose pastoral
letter and other declarations urging
Catholics to take an active part in
the forthcoming national elections
were considered hostile by the gov
eminent, began his journey into ex-
lie from Guadalaj lara.
His deportation again aroused the
religious question, one of the most
complex faced by the government.

OF stars-on It's edges. Such calcula-
lions give AL approximate weight OF
two or three billion sunS--or three or
four suns for every human being on
earth.
II q telescope photograph Of one Of
these nebulae could be enlarged to the
size OF the North American continent,
Sir James said, 1t might be possible for
a person with exceptional eyesight TO
find an object as large as the sun. The
stars which have been discerned In
the nebulae are cephid variabies, indi-
Gated by the varying Intensity vi points
Of light.
Pictures Mass Of Gas.
In the beginning as pictured by Sir
James, there probably was Q chaotic
mass Of gas spread through space.
Mathematical calculations show. he said,
that such q mass Of almost Infinitely
finely dispersed gas particles could not
remain uniformly distributed, but,
through action OF gravity, must con-
dense into enormous balls Of gas which
would begin 10 rotate. such system,
lac said, Is represented by the great
globular nebulae which have been To-
Gated by the telescope. BY continue
ton OF the same process Of condenSa-
when smaller and far denser particles,
the stars, would begin TO be formed
along the edge OF the whirling mass, al
ready fiattened by It's rotation into the
familiar cartWheel form which seems
fundamental In creation.
Mathematical calculation, he said,
shows that such Whirling mass Of gas
at last must condenSe into drops Of
about the size Of stars. On y far smaller
scale. the earth and the other planets
were formed as drops Of condensed gas
torn from the sun by some passing star.
BY means Of these mathe NAUTICAL deduc-
tions. he said, 1t now Is possible to
recognize the different forms Of nebulae
photographed by Dr. Hubble as an age
sequsnce from baby universes to old
uniYerses with the star drops concen-
trated about the rims Of the cart
wheels.
Besides the great "star cities" sir
James explained, there are smaller
nsbulous masses which appear 10 be
simply parts Of the Milky Way gaiaetic
system, great clouds Of dust given q sort
Of phosphorescent effect by the light OF
the neighboring stars which falls upon
them. They are. he said. the smoke
