GERMAN CASTLES
co BEGGING NOW
High Taxes Force Owners
to- Brink of Disaster;
Unable to Sell.
BY A. r. DECKER.

by Cable to The Star.
BERLIN, Germany, January l.
Castleslin Germany are looking for new
owners. High taxes and lower incomes
make it increasingly difficult to keep
up big estates. for the tax man. when
booking around for more revenue, turns
toward the rich and the man who owns
q castle is easy TO find.
Offers Estate for Sale.
AS the taxes increase a castle owner
uses the economy ak and releases his
servants and forest guards. Then be
tries to make the estate profitable and
raises cattle or cabbages. Then the
taxes are increased again and the cas-
Gle possessor quits. He offers his
estate for sale or looks around for q
tenant with enough income to maintain
the old buildings.
But the man with money has learned
something during the last few years;
he does not invest in castles in Ger
many, and so German castles are going
begging.
Buy Swiss Castles.
One castle owner near Berlin solved
che problem by renting his castle 10
manufacturer for just enough to cover
the tax charges. Now the manufac-
turer cannot raise this sum and the
castle is empty, with the owner debat-
ing whether to cut down the park
trees for taxes.
The absurdity of such tax system is
apparent, for every Swiss knows that
the Germans are the largest buyers Of
Swiss real estate and some of the laIg-
est castles in Switzerland are owned
by Germans who fed from the Reich
tax man.

Smarting under l9 to troun-
cling at the hands of San Bernard

Central Junior College football ele-
ven will have an opportunity TO
avenge the defeat in game begin
ming at o'clock Saturday night
on the e. Centro field.
This will be the last game Of the

also probably will be one Of the

team, since San Bernardino and

Usually the doormat of their

the st. Mary'S result was no mis-
take, and that the eastern huskies,
even fair teams like Fordham, are
playing right smart football.
Moreover, Paul Schissler's Bea-
vers have had personal combat with
Southern California's mighty Tro-
ians this season and held them to
a 100 Trojan victory. The Beavers
apparently are not as strong as this
score indicates because they bowed
to Stanford. Washington State and
Oregon, all of whom were
humbled by Southern California
with sizeable scores. If Fordham
would aspire to the Trojan's
strength apparently it must beat
the Beavers by about four touch
downs.
Fordham is not the strongest
team in the east. Coach Cava-
naugh'S Rams were beaten 1913
by Michigan State, and .toppled 80
by little Boston college. Fordham S
record is not as good as that of
Colgate or Brown, the two conten-
ders who will battle it out on
Thanksgiving day for the eastern
championship and possibly the trip
to Pasadena.
The Rams appear to compare
more favorably with Colgate and
Brown than do the Beavers with
Southern California, consequently
a big score over Oregon State TO-
morrow would offer hopes for an
eastern victory in the Rose Bowl,
whereas a close score or a Ford
ham defeat would buoy the hopes
of the TrojanS.
Oregon State uses a different
captain for every game. Coach

rabbit children didn't mind this

thought of was how good the roast

THAT was clever trick you
played, Wiggy," said the wife OF

could roast potatoes as you did"
"Yes, it was a trick" said Mr..

I shall give them a treat

she and Nurse Jane locked all the

I'm sure they WILL" said his
wife.
The next day when his bunny

home from school, Uncle Wiggily
called to them saying:
"I have some fun for you, my
dears!p
"Is it some more raking up OF
leaves?" asked Buster. For he and
some of his brothers, while they
liked roast potatoes, had discov-

Mr.. Longears Though those who
DO not like roast apples need not

to make the fires. For apples can
not be roasted without fire.
"Oh, we'll do that all right said

apples. With shouts of joy, the
rabbit boys and girls followed theiI
father to an orchard where, on the
ground, lay many apples blown
down by the wind.
The rabbit boys and girls car
ried these to the edge of the woods
where many dried sticks could be
gathered with which to make fires
Uncle Wiggily said the apple roast
ing would be different from the
baking of potatoes in q bonfire of
leaves.
1T doesn't so much matter ii
the outside skin of a potato gets
burned black" said Mr.. Longears
But roast apples aren't SO good
that way So do as I do.'
Uncle Wiggily made a fire Of
sticks and when it was a mass Of
glowing, red Goals, he stuck on the
end of a long, sharp stick an ap-
pie. This he held over the hot
Goals and soon the apple began to
hiss and sputter, for it was bak-
ing over the fire.
"Oh, what fun!" cried Baby Bun
ty and all the others. They got
long sticks on which they stuck
the apples and held them over the
wood embers until they were baked
lovely brown on all sides. Then
Nurse Jane and Mrs. Longears
brought out dishes and spoons and
cream and sugar and the rabbit
children ate of Uncle Wiggily's ap-
pie roast and had a fine time.
When Baby Bunty was roasting
her second apple, out of the woods
popped the Fox. But the brave lit
tie orphan rabbit held her hot ap-
pie on his nose for a second and
the Fox ran bowling away. So ev-
erything was all right And if the

POINT WELL TAKEN

EROM purely Republican standpoint,
the charge of party treason made
by Tallant Tubbs, defeated candidate for
the United States senate, is we'll taken.
Tubbs accuses influential Republican
leaders in the state of double crossing"
him, and from the sidelines it appears
that is just what he got.
Whether Republicans liked it or not,
Tubbs was the choice of the party for
the senatorial nomination and party 10y
atty should have inspired support for
him. He won the nomination in fair
and square primary fight. Obtaining
nominee who is satisfactory in all ways
to all people is impossible and other
candidates, lacking in certain elements
Of appeal, have always been accorded
party support.
Tubbs charges the national commit
tee representatives in California with
failing to support him; that the district
attorney of Los Angeles endorsed him,
at least half-heartedly and then repudi-
ated the endorsement; and it is a we'll
known fact that the leading Republican
paper in the state endorsed all other
Republican candidates but Tubbs.
1t is not to be wondered, perhaps, that
party treason" grew rampant in the
llnal QdyS OF lHe CdulpdlgH NieL d Sal-
ifornia Republican senator publicly re-
pudiated his party and campaigned
against its candidate for the presidency.
His action is quite contrast with that
of Senator Shortridge, who, although
defeated for the senate nomination by
Tubbs, came to the latter's support
through the prediction campaign.
Of course it might be pointed out that
Tubbs was a minority choice of the Re-
publican party for the nomination. That
is true and it is likewise true of nearly
every other partisan nominee under the
direct primary system. In very few

UNCLE WIGGILY'S APPLE
ROAST

Uncle Wiggily's paws were very
black-as black as a coal. So was
his pink nose, though that twink
led as gaily as ever, even though
you couldn't see the pink because
it was covered with black.
The paws of Baby Bunty were
also black, and so were the paws
of Jingle, Jangle, Buster, Custer
and all the rabbit children. They
had been roasting potatoes in the
bonfires of burning leaves. and, as
you all know, when you roast po-
tatoes in a fire, the outside skin
gets very black. When you break
and peel off this black skin TO eat
the white, mealy potato inside, with
butter and salt on it, why, your
hands and face get very black,
don't they?
If you are a rabbit, and have
paws instead of hands, your paws
get black and so does your pink

I cases is the choice of the party one which
represents the majority.
California RepublieaniSm needed the
shock which the election has given it.
Years of success had permitted dry rot
to creep in. The leaders had grown ar
/ rogant and were so cocksure of them
selves that they could not visualize such
thing as a Democratic victory. They
have met one now and perhaps they
realize how foolish they have been. If
not, the realization will come to them
during the next four years.
The defeat does not mean the elimina-
ton of the Republican party in Califor-
MIA, any more than the result of the cleo
tion nationally means its elimination as
a major party. Like a football team
which has been winning continually, the
party needed sound trouncing and it
got one.
1t will recover from this setback the
same as it has from others, in Califor-
MIA and elsewhere, but while recovering,
California Republicans as whole
might we'll think over Tubbs' charges.

its members must stick together. Party
