at last school was out and then
came unhappiness. For just as they
reached home it began to rain.
"Oh. now we can't have any
picnic!" cried Baby Bunty.
Never mind!" said Uncle Wig
gily, opening the door OF his bunga-
low. Come in and we will play
guessing games until the rain stops.
oh, guessing gamesl" shouted
Baby Bunty. What fun"
Il hope you will find it so" spoke
Uncle Wiggily. Nov We shall see
who Will be the first TO guess the
answer TO o.this question. What is it
that has a lot of keys. but cannot
open one door?"
The bunnies looked at one an
other, and Jingle murmured:
What is it that has lot of keys
and yet cannot open, one door?"
"Oh, I knowl" shouted Buster
Its a man in hardware Store!"
NO" said Uncle Wiggily. For
the man in the hardware store could
take one of his keys and open his
own door. That isn't the answer. ;"
Maybe it's roller skates. they
have a key" said BuntI
I said a lot of keys-not one, >"
spoke Uncle Wiggily.
Well. the children rabbits tried to
guess the answer, but they couldn't,
so they gave up and then Mr.. Long
ears said: Why piano has a lot
Of keys, yet it can't open even a
door in a dolls housel"
Hal Hal Ha," laughed the bunny
boys and girls. Then Uncle Wiggily
asked them another question:
What is it that talks and yet
has no tongue?"
The children rabbits looked sur
prised. for this was a hard one. Then
Buster guessed that the answer was
lace shoe, for he knew the piece
of loose leather in shoe is called
a tongue"
mo. for a shoe never talks said
Uncle Wiggily. you must guess
what it is that talks and sings and
yet has no tongue"
"Oh, I knowi" all of a sudden
cried Baby Bunty. "A monograph"
"A phonograph doesn't talk" said
Jingle.
1T sings if you put record on
it." said Bunty And it does talk,
sometimes, doesn't it, Unkie Wig?"
well, a photograph is almost the
right answer" said the rabbit gen.
tleman, but I was thinking of the
radio. You know you can hear that
talk, and yet it has no tongue!"
"Oh, I think this guessing game
is very jolly" said Buster. Give
us another one, Daddicums!' Uncle
Wiggily was just thinking OF an
other question to ask in the rainy
day guessing game when, all OF a
sudden, the door of the hollow
stump bungalow was slowly pushed
open.
"Oh, see who is coming in!" cried
Baby Bunty, making a jump for
Uncle Wiggily's lap. But you must
wait until the next story TO find
out who pushed open the door. And
I hone the letter man will help the
milk bottle climb up the steps so
it won't be late for breakfast. Then
I can tell you about Uncle Wiggily
and tumbling Tommie.

Another HOld-Up
On Valley Road

Imperial Valleys holdup list
added another victim last night
when A. r. Harrington, driving
home ON the Tamrack road, was
held up by two men in a new model
dark roadster at the first bridge
west of the Brawley highway.
The robbers got only STAG from
Harrington, after threatening him
with revolver. The usual method
-crowding the victims car from
the highway and then rohbing him
was used. The holdup occurred
about tbs last night.
A cloth was drawn over the Il
cense plates OF the robbers car, said
Harrington, SO that the numbers
could not be seen. One OF the men
wore overalls. the other dark suit.
Both were Americans. and both
wore hats pulled low over their eyes.
Harrington works on the Garri-
son ranch near the Tamarack ranch.
He was driving there when held up.

rabbit gentleman, Il hope you will

why I asked you to come early"
"Oh, you're going to have a pic
nic for us, aren't you, Daddicums?"
laughed Jingle.
How lovely" shouted Jangle.
rs it picnic, Unkie Wig?" asked
Baby Bunty, trying to climb up into
his lap. But as Uncle Wiggily was
standing up he had no lap for Bun
ty to sit on, so she slid to the
ground all in little heap, but she
only laughed, for she fell on some
soft grass.
Are you going to give the chill
dren a picnic this afternoon when
they come home from school?'
asked Nurse Jane. The muskrat
lady was shaking her tail out OF the
front door.
The reason she was doing this
was because she had a bunch Of
chicken feathers tied on her tail
and with them she busted the piano.
After the feathers were full of dust
Nurse Jane shook them out OF the
door.
"Yes. I was thinking of having a
little May picnic for the children

Longears.

Manager

Albert b. Fall, former secretary of the
interior, convicted of accepting bribe in
the Teapot Dome scandal, and sentenced
to serve a year in prison in addition to.
paying fine of 100000, plans to appeal
to President Hoover for clemency.
Fall, broken old man, whose health
is known to be extremely bad, has de-
clared his innocence over and over, but a
jury of his peers did not believe his
story and convicted him.
1t is not likely that there will be any
great objection to his plea for clemency.
He has been convicted of betraying the
people of the United States, but their
satisfaction does not demand that he be
placed in a prison cell. The disgrace
that descended upon him with the expose
of the Teapot Dome scandal, has been
greater punishment than any prison sem
tenee or fine could be.
Topping from a position of trust and
honor, such as are accorded cabinet men,
bers, to place alongside of those who
have betrayed their country, is drop
that few men could take and stand up
under it.
Too true it is that the man who steals
the figurative loaf of bread often goes to
prison for long term, while he who
steals millions is given light punishment,
if any at ALL But we cannot see where
presidential clemency to Fall is really
extending mercy. His thoughts are the
greatest punishment that can be lnfllct-
ed upon him and not all the United
States can increase or diminish their Sc

He has forfeited the respect and con-
fidence of his fellow men. He finds him.

DECISION is PLEASING

Decision of the supreme court of Cal
ifornia on Imperial Valley grapefruit, is
gratifying to many residents here who
have no connection with the industry.
For those who have such connection, the
decision is a great encouragement to go
on building for the future.
1t is what might be termed a double
barreled victory. The court upholds the
contention that Imperial placed on
grapefruit which is not raised IN lmper-
ial Valley is misleading to the consumer
and that only grapefruit raised here is
entitled to that name.
The second half of the decision verifies
the constitutionality of the standardized
ton act which permits ratio of to
soluble solids to acids, for Coachella
Valley and Imperial Valley, and 512 to
one for other sections of the state.
That conviction of two men who were
accused of mislabeling grapefruit is also
upheld, is a minor consideration. Those
who sought their conviction and decision
upon the law, were not concerned so much
with Furnishing two individuals as they
were to have the law set clear and pre-
vent similar occurrences in the future.
The decision is distinct victory for
those who prosecuted the case and for
the grapefruit men who have contended
that a division of ratios is necessary.
There's this much about it, for a legal
document the canal contract is singular
ly free from "whereases" and aforesalds

Bathing in Icy Waters of Switzerland
Wins Popularity With Native and Tourist

GENEVA.-The icy waters of Swiss
lakes are no deterrent to Swiss bathing.
The craze is something new. Time was
when sport in Switzerland was bound
up with ice and snow, but scarcely a
lake resort in this mountain land but
now has or has had under construction
its PLACE, or bathing beach.
The Swiss beach does not begin and
end with sand and pebbles, any more
than does Coney Island, but carries with
It all the accessories which usually go
with cabarets, al freSco restaurants
dance halls, bathing cabins, bath chairs
and striped umbrellas, often mora useful
in keeping of the rain than the sun,
though on occasion the sun of Switzer-
land can bron like that Of the French
Riviera.

nothing of the still more d;gnined
Vevey. The most chic of all is at

high intelligence, high character, high
personal qualities and high success in
life all tend to go together, the results
of this study are truly astounding. A
great deal of the data have not been
published, but Mr.. Smith has given me
some of his main conclusions. To use
common parlance, they knock into a
cooked hat the notion that the college
prodigy and the brilliant student are
likely to fail in practical life. and that
the dull student is likely TO succeed.
What Prof. Smith did was to take all
the graduates of this university, num-
bering 1900. who had been out in life
from IS to As years, study their worldly
success and then compare with their
college records. In order to be fair in
determining success" DR.. Smith asked
the committees of the various classes to
give their frank opinions on the post
college careers of their classmates. He
also secured the opinions of numerous
ether persons acquainted with these
mems careers.
Doubtless some Of the judges laid en-
phaSiS on intellectual or literary or pro-
feSsional achievement, some on emf
nence as citizen and some on money
and other things. AS a result, there
fore, a composite, well-balanced judg-
ment of the success of each man was
reached. They then compared these
rankings that their college teachers had
given them, Is to As years ago. How did
the two gradings agree?
The agreement was almost unbeliev-
able. As Prof. Smith says: IF a man
was high in one list he was almost
invariably high in the other; and if low
in one, low in the other. This situation

scholar in college is usually failure in
business. He is believed to be i'm
practical" "a dreamer" man full Of
theories, and almost certain to be a
failure as high-power salesman, pro-
duction manager. a judge of securities
or as any type of executive.
1 know this personally from having
lectured to hundreds of chambers of
commerce, executive clubs and sales
mems conventions and the like through
out the country. Moreover, we see this
opinion constantly and confidently
business men. We see also the opposite
opinion as confidently expressed-name-
ly. that the men who are low in their
college studies, but who are leaders in
college pranks or in athletics. or are
among the champion dancers and ladies'
men of the campus. and who bluff their
way over the PROSTATE forms of the pro-
fessors and deans are the ones whom
we usually find in after life fighting the
big legal battles or holding down impor-
tant jobs as presidents of big corpora
tionS and managers of the country's
destinies.S
On the other hand, the reason no
member Of this committee would risk
his money on the foregoing bet. even at
100 to l, was because he knew too much
about 1t. 1t was because this committee
and this professor, Dr. Hugh A. Smith,
now of the University of Wisconsin, had
been engaged upon a two-year research
to find just how the good, bad and

English Teachers Hit
u. S. Films in Turkey

ISTANBUL, Turkey.-The English
teachers in Turkey have grudge
against the American talkies. Teaching
English has become a terribly difhcult
task ever since the silent screen went
out of style One of the teachers ex-
claimed:
There is war on, mighty war. We.
the English teachers of the world, and
the Hollywood stars are fighting grim
battle"
The students of English run to the
talkies to improve their vocabulary.
They listen to American slang and
twang and soon they begin to talk like
any Yankee or a New Yorker. It Is
impossible to break them of the habit
and the task of teaching them pure"
English has been made more difncult.
This is an age of struggling and fight
ing in Turkey. The handworker can
not abide machinery; the coachman Is
the bitter enemy of the chauffeur; but

it would be the turn Of the English
teachers to combat the American movie
