f1e pulled harder on mixers tail.

Wiggily all for myself" howled the
Bob Cat. He pulled harder than
before on Tinker's tail.
I suppose some Of you are won-
dering what this is all about. Those
of you who read the story last night
do not need to be told. But, TO let
others share the secret, l will say
that Tinker was funny little puppy
dog boy whose tail was so small
that he was ashamed of it. He hoped
it would grow longer, but, when it
didn't, Tinker asked Uncle Wiggily
TO help.
Come with me to the woods"
said the rabbit gentleman. In the
woods Uncle Wiggily told Tinker to
crawl into a hollow log with just his
funny little tail sticking out of the
end. When Tinker had done this,
Uncle Wiggily went to sleep hoping
he might dream Of way TO help
Tinker stretch his tail.
Then along came the Bob Cat,
who. seeing Uncle Wiggily asleep,
went to catch him. But the Bob
Cat saw Tinkers tail sticking out
OF the long and, thinking it was
the tail of another Bob Cat (for so
it looked, the hungry chap caught
hold Of Tinker's tail and began to
pull.
And. as 7 told you, Tinker, in
side the log, not seeing the Bob
Cat outside, thought Uncle Wiggily
was stretching his tail ana said:
Pull harder! Pull harder,'
"Mayi This is surely funny Bob
Cat!" thought the real Bob Cat.
IF my tail was pulled that way
should how'll"
But Tinker was brave little dog
and didn't even Whimper. Harder
and harder the Bob Cat pulled on
Tinker's tail, trying to haul him
out of the log and at last the Bad
Chap made so much noise that I'm
Gle Wiggily awakened. He saw the
Bob Cat at the log and asked:
What are you doing there?"
II am pulling on the tail Of an
other Bob Catp was the answer.
Another Bob Catl" cried the rab-
bit gentleman. my goodness! Are
there two of you after me now? Oh,
dearlp
Then, all of sudden, Uncle Wig
gily remembered that Tinker was
! in the hollow log with his tail stick
| ing out, and when the rabbit gentle
man saw that the Bob Cat was pull
ing Tinker's tail, the bunny uncle
cried:
quick, Tinkeri Pull your tail

EXPLODING BEER
KEEPS OFFICIALS
AT JAIL JUMPY

Sounding through the barred cor
ridors of the county jail, reverber-
ating against the solid walls and
shaking Jail fixtures, a volley OF
explosions yesterday afternoon sent
Sheriff George L. Campbell and his
deputies on a wary search for the
source of the explosions.
Whether some prisoner had OBJ
tanned a gun and gone amuck, or
whether the prisoners were trying
to blast their way out OF the bas-
tile was a question in the minds OF
officers.
The entire mystery was solved
when one enterprising deputy traced
the sound to the liquor storage
room, where a case of high-power-
ed home brew recently taken in a
raid had become effected by the
heat and started series OF explod-
ions.
Wisely enough, the door of the
liquor room was left closed.
Throughout the afternoon, at stat
ed intervals, another series OF ex-
plosions would rock the Jail. Dep
uties, who had not heard the first
volley, came in to be greeted by the
muffled explosions.
Sheriff Campbell was sitting in
his office, situated near the liquor
room, when the first bottle of beer
exploded. He leaped to his feet,
ready to do battle with he supposed
" desperate prisoners. Eddie Nett,
jailer, was in the commissary room
when the first bottle exploded. The
commissary room adjoins the liquor
room, so that Nett leaped for some
weapon TO defend the cause of the
law and order.
When the liquor room was open
ed, after the explosion had ceased
several bottles were found to have
broken, beer was flowing on the
floor and traces of it evident on the
walls, and broken glass was scat
tered all around.

Only Tinker didn't know it was the
Bob Cat pulling. The cute little

SERIOUS CHARGES
W. c. COSTELLO
Manager

Charges that the marines were guilty
of looting during the recent distressing
tragedy in Managua, should receive
prompt attention by the navy depart
ment and any other governmental agen-
cies that are interested.
The charge has been made by lead
ing Mexican, who states the marines
were guilty of extreme cruelty and ruth
lessneSs.
1t is quite likely that stern measures
used by the marines have given rise to
ugly stories There is nothing nice or re-
fined to be expected when one has to re-
pei the instructive animal in man by
means of force.
The victims of the Managua earth
quake were under terrible strain and un-
der certain conditions could be their own
worst enemies. Absolute refusal in many
cases to adopt the sanitary precautions
which were necessary to prevent total
loss of life, caused the marines to shoot
to kill. This sounds harsh but there are
times when it is necessary to save many
by harshness to few.
We don't believe the marines are guilty
of looting. They performed difficult
task under extremely difficult circun-
stances and it is not giving them a fair
break 70 charge them before the world
with cruelty and crookedness.
The government which they represent
should be sufficiently interested to in
vestigate and either disprove the charges.
or punish those guilty Of wrongdoing If
it can be proved.

logl Get out at the other end and
we'll run away, for the Bob Cat is
here trying to catch mel Run out!
Quick
Uncle Wiggily shouted so loudly
that Tinker heard him inside the
log. though the little puppy could
not hear what the Bob Cat had said.
"Oh, ON A Bob Catl" thought
Tinker. Here is my chance to do
Uncle Wiggily favor to pay him
back for making my tail longer" For
still Tinker thought Uncle Wiggily
had been stretching his tail.
All Of a quickness Tinker pulled
his tail loose from the hold of the
Bob Cat had on it. Scrambling
through the hollow log, the puppy
dog boy leaped out of the far end
and then, rushing back, he barked
at the Bob Cat SO hard that this
Bad Chap was completely surprised
"Ohl' he howled. Il thought it
was a Bob Cat like myself in the log,
but it has changed into a dog. This
must be some of Uncle Wiggily'S
magic! Maybe he'll turn me into a
lollypop! I'd better rum"
Away ran the Bob Cat. Uncle
Wiggily smiled, twinkled his pink
nose and said;
You are a brave little dog, Tin
kerl You saved me from the Bob
Catl"
rs my tail any longer" asked
Tinker, who belonged to little girl
named Clair.
mo, the rabbit gentleman an
swered, your tail is no longer,
Tinker, and it never will be. But
it's q good thing it isn't long. Your
little short tail fooled the Bob Cat,
which was a good thing for me"
Then Tinker was very happy for
having saved Mr.. Longears. And
ever after that Tinker was the jol-
lest little dog in all the world, and
he didn't mind having a short tail.
He knew 1t was best for him.
Now if the egg beater will please
pick some fluffy little chickens off
the pussy willow tree to gather up
the crumbs under the table, I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily's May
bouquet.

A GOOD MOVE

A Los Angeles squad of police, mount
ed in automobiles equipped with radio,
appears to be one of the best moves yet
made to solve the crime problem in our
large cities.
Operating on a secret wave length, the
cars are in constant communication with
the central station and crime news re-
ceived there is Immediately conveyed to
the officers cruising about in the cars.
This permits of an immediate mobili-
zation of strong force of police when
they may be needed and will eliminate
delay in getting the police on the track
of criminals.
1t will be interesting to see how the
experiment works out, and we cannot see
how it can help succeeding.

Evelyn Lave in "Onc Heavenly Night". Closing
 Engagement at State Tonight

Evelyn Lave. beautiful English musical comedy and light opera star, who has equally as many ad- mirers on this side of the Atlantic as she has at home. because of her wonderful performance in Bitter Sweet, is to be seen and heard for the last times tonight at Warner Brothers State theater in her talliie debut "One Heavenly Night.
 The scene of the dramatic love story is laid in Budapest. where Fritzi, the darling of cabaret patrons in the night life of the city. has. through her scandalous behavior, in- cured the censure of the law. and, is banished for six months. Lilli. a flower girl. worships,. FritZi. and is easily induced by the singer to ac- cept the exile in her stead. How this leads I.illi to the counts castle. and the results of the discovery of the deception is told in frolicsonle , action. witty dialogue. and tuneful song. Colorful costumes, and large cast of citizens. peasants. soldiers.
 swells and police. and the atmos- phere of both castle and cabaret are presented in typically lavish Gold
 wyn production. Evelyn Lave has the role of Lilli. the heroine: the other half of the love acting being entrusted to the capable John Boles. who is heard to advantage in num- Der of selections. Leon Errol. fa-
 nous stage and screen comedian. has lines and situations worthy of
 his great talents as popular jester
 while Lilyon Tashman. as FritHi. gives brilliant performance.
 This feature. shown at 2:20. 4:40. zoo. and 9:30. is accompanied by an excellent program of short sub- jects.
