inside the summer house, and when
he heard the dog being unlocked
that bad little dog said:
This is Uncle Wiggily coming
back, I'll show him I'm not going
to be good. I'm going to bark and
growl and bite his toes"
AS soon as the door opened, out
rushed the bad little dog. But it was
the Bob Cat and not Uncle Wiggily
who stood there At him rushed
the bad little dog, barking, growing
and biting toes.
oh! Oh! Stop Stopi" mewed the
surprised Bob Cat.
But the little dog was also sur
prised.
You aren't Uncle Wiggily!" he
barked. "Oh. what does this mean?"
1T means I'm going to scratch
you!" snarled the Bob Cat. So the
Bob Cat scratched the bad little dog
and ran away in the woods. And
when Uncle Wiggily came back,
looking for his key, he found the
door open and the little dog was
outside. But now he was a good
little dog.
And I'm never going to be bad
any more" he said. So he only
barked and growled in fun and
never bit any more toes. And If

tag with the tin whistle I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and the

REAPPORTI0NMENT SETTLED

NORTHERN Californias effort to hold
IN up legislative and congressional re-
apportionment has failed Petitions for
a referendum which were to be filed by
last night, lacked sufficient names to in
sure the referendum's appearance on the
ballot next November.
Under the congressional reapportion-
ment bill passed by the last legislature,
Los Angeles county gets eight of the new
congressman allotted the state, San
Francisco gets two and Alameda county
two San Francisco fought this align
ment, but it is equitable, based upon pop
ulation as provided for in the Constitu
ton of the United States.
Legislative reapportionment in the as
sembly also were opposed by San Fran
cisco which was given nine assemblymen
to 80 for Los Angeles.
Immediately following the passage of
the reapportionment bills by the legisla-
ture, the north declared it would seek
referendum vote upon both measures and
has since been busy trying to obtain suf-
ficient signatures to insure the referen-
dunn.
Each petition failed by several thou
sand votes, and from all indications re-
apportionment has been definitely set
tied in California for many years to
come, fact which should be pleasing to
all and particularly to newspaper edi-
tors, to whom juggling with the word re-
apportionment has been no easy task.

Rogers Play Is
Full OF Fun

From a chronic dyspeptic, living
on pills, calories and proteins, TO
the fastest stopper in the nightcluo5,
is the jump made by VIII Rogers
in his latest production, Young AS
You Feel, which pleased one of the
largest audiences of the season at
Fox Imperial Airdome last night
and will be repeated twice tonight.
Based on the old play Father
and the Boys, by George Ade, the
production has been modernized
and improved over the original
performance.
Rogers is given plenty of oppor-
tunity to display the wit which has
made him possibly the most prom
inent man in America, and he is
given a close run for honors by Fiji
Dorsay, who rescues him from his
-invalidism and makes a man
out of him
There is plenty Of comedy and
not much of anything else in the
production. There doesn't need to
be anything else. Lucien Little

Roy, Torrance Ray and others help

Baby Bunty followed Uncle Wiggily
around begging him to make some
fun for them.
We'll. I'll make you some fun

strong front door for it with lock
and a key. Then he sat in his
summer house, which had no win

"Ah, it is peaceful and quiet

But sometimes I must have peace

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
BAD DOG

Once upon a time there was bad
little dog. And once upon a time
Uncle Wiggily built himself cute
little coop of a summer house with
door and a lock and a key and
everything like that. The bad lit
tie dog and the summer house OF
Uncle Wiggily go together so that's
why I put them at the start of the
story.
And now to tell you all that
happened.
Uncle Wiggily was somewhat like

She had SO many children she
didn't know what to do And some
times Mr.. Longears didn't know
what to do with all the forty leven
sixteen children he had, to say

orphan rabbit.
One day Uncle Wiggily hoped
into every room of his hollow stump
bungalow to look for a place where
he could be quiet and get away
from the children But no place
could he find. Jingle and Jangle

TINE FOR ACTION

IT will not do to put down the remarks
of Governor Pinchot at Detroit yester-
day as political rawlings. 1t is apparent
to all that strenuous measures must be
taken if there is not to be widespread
suffering and probably worse through
ont the country this coming winter.
Coming a day after announcement
that President Hoover is studying ways
and means for providing federal relief
for the needy, indicates that this import
ant topic is having the full consideration
of the best minds in the country.
There are many who think as Cover
nor Pinchot thinks, that if the United
States government can do so much for
other nationalities, it ought to be able to
do something for its own needy. These
needy are the people, which is another
way of saying they are the United States
government itself.
Trying to explain away depression and
actual want with fancy words will not
do. Decisive, and possibly radical, ac-
ton is essential to prevent discomfort

Cases for Your Linen

CUSAN had lived ell of her life, up II
~ last Spring, in a big, rambling
house. There was huge attic. Every
room had big closet or q lot of little
cupboards. Under the Stairways there
were long, slope-ceilinged cupboards
and beside the upstairs f1replaces there
were cupboards of every shape and size
Which meant that Susan had always
had lots of places to put things. Her
mother had had two or three linen
closets--one for sheets and pillow cases
one for towels and bath mats, one for
table cloths and napkins. And still an
other for card party supplies, tea nap
kins and small cloths.
Then Susan got married and went to
live In a Observation-Disclosures
apartment.
The closet space is quite wonder
full, said the agent, proudly. "You
see in two-room apartment there are
three good-sized closets"
Yes, there were. The one In the bed
room for Susan. The one in the pas
sage from bedroom to living room, OPP
posite the bathroom, for Tom. And the
one in the little entrance hall for
everything else.
But where" demanded Susan Of her
mother later, ''can 4 keep the table
Tile OtdIlketS ana LIlc tOWelS
and the sheets? There isn't even a
Sideboard. Of course. In kitchenette
apartment"
Susan's mother wasn't much help, for
all she could fall back on for expert
ence were her 20-odd cupboards and
closets.
But friend Of Susan's came to the
rescue. you've only one closet, that's
that. Only one for all those things.
Now this is the way to manage. Have
plenty Of shelves. If they're not there,
have them made. Then just have hold
ers and markers for everything and
pile them. neatly and methodically, on
those shelves. Just never let them get
mixed up and confused. If you do
you're sunk. just always put them In
their own, individual holders"
So Susan went to work and made
holders. Then she went to work and
used them on shelves in her linen
closet.
You can buy all Sorts Of interesting
holders in the shops. If you don't want
TO bother making them. There are sets
Of wide ribbons to bind around sheets
and blankets and counterpanes that
snap securely shut under bows. There
are covered cylinders around which
ccnterpieces or other table linen that
YOU dent want to crease may be rolled.
There are cretonne napkin holders and
crstonne or embroidered dolly holders.
And you can make these holders
yourself.
A most attractive dolly holder Is

made Of unblesched linen. covering two
rounds of cardboard. Two rounds for
each side, each covered with the linen
and overhanded together about the
edge. Then the two sides are fastened
together with ribbon or stitching at
one place.
Before the linen is mounted on the
rounds Of cardboard it is embroidered
with colorful design-perhaps a bas-
ket Of flowers in the center with q
wreath Of leaves around the edge.
Some women like embroidered cases
to hold handkerchiefs and different
sorts Of underwear. If you are crowded
these cases are indeed great CON-
venieuce, for In them you can keep your
underwear neatly piled in closet shelves

Annette" asks how to make good
meat pies. meat pies that tempt as well
as satisfy.
Wen made, meat pies are che OF the
most admirable leftover dishes. They
are a true friend to the busy housewife
and q sure way to use up odds and
ends delectably.
There are several ways of making
them. When you make pie for dessert,
make q little extra crust and put 1t on
ice for q couple Of days. Then use 1t
for the covering Of meat pie. Use q
top crust only, putting the prepared
meat, with good Seasonings and plenty
Of gravy, and with vegetables If you
wish, in the pie dish. then spreading
the cover Of crust, and then baking
until the crust is crisp and nicely
Drowned.
Another way to make meat pie is
with q covering Of mashed potatoes.
The potatoes should be spread on abou.
half inch thick and then Drowned
nicely. They may be Smoothed out and
spread with egg yolk IL you wish 10
make them glazed. Or, IL they are
freshly mashed. they may be piled up
irregularly on top Of the meat before
browning.
Another way is to make crust Of
breadcrumhs moistened with milk and
beaten egg and seasoned with salt and
pepper. This should be spread en- about
q half inch thick, or thicker, and ir-
regularly, ss the browning OF the r.
regular mounds is delicious.
Then there is the biscuit meat pie, IN
which the meat Is covered with biscuit
crust and well Drowned.
It n important to have plenty OF
gravy In any meat pie, rs they should
never be dry. Extra gravy may be
passed with them IL you wish.
