King Investigating Reasons
Why President "SheIVed"
Kathryn Sellers

Consideration by the Senate
Judiciary Committee of Presi-
dent Hoover'S nomination of
Miss NJ. Pearl Mccall to be
Judge of the Juvenile Court
of the District, succeeding
Miss Kathryn Sellers, is. to be
delayed until the next session
Of Congress.
This had been determined to-
day by Senator George w
Norris (R.) Of Nebraska, com,
mittee chairman. and Senator
William H. King CD of Utah,
committee member
And next winter, Norris fore
cast, there probably will be ex-
tended hearings on the Mccall
nomination, certain objections
having already arisen to the fail
ure to reappoint Judge Sellers.
Senator InvOkes Code
Among the objectors is Senator
King, who last night examined
the District of Columbia code
and held that it would be impoS-
-sible for President Hoover to
give Miss Mccall recess ap-
pointment after the adjournment
of the present Congress.
Senator King cited today that
the District law creating the
Juvenile Court, enacted in 1906,
specifically provides that the
Judge:
"ShaII be appointed by the
President, subject to removal
for cause by the President. and
by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, for a
term of six years or until his
successor is appointed and con-
firmed."
Investigating Reason
The words, land confirmed" "
Senator King said, precludes re-
cess appointment and service on
the bench by Miss Mccall during
the summer and continues Judge
Sellers in office even though she
was recently incapacitated by an
injury to her hip.
Senator King said he was in
vestigating the reasons behind
the Mccall appointment" and
had received some information
which he would not disclose at
present.

Mrs. Longears. There's a piece of

"Oh, that will wash off," chuck

to hop away, saying to his wife:
"If Little Bub or Little Bah ask for
me, tell them, please, that I'm over
in the woods near the walnut tree"
what are you going to do
there?" Mrs. Lengears wanted to
know.

bark of trees, I can nibble carrots
and lettuce, but it needs the sharp
teeth of squirrels to bit through
the hard walnut shells.
IT can, however, take off the
soft, outer bark for the squirrels and
that will help some. 1t will give
me something to do while I am
waiting for Billie and Johnnie and
for Little Bub and Bab."
So Uncle Wiggily gathered heap
of the black walnuts and, sitting
down beside flat stone for table
he began taking off the outer shell
or shuck, which was quite soft. In
fact the shuck was so soft, not
having yet dried, that it was filled
with a dark, yellowish brown juice
which at once stained the paws of
the rabbit gentleman. In short
time his paws looked as if they had
been painted with iodine.
But it will wash off," thought
Uncle Wiggily, shocking nut after
nut. And he laughed as he remem-
bered how the Indians used to take
the juice of the walnut shucks and
stain feathers and other things a
dark brown or yellow color.
Soon the rabbit had taken the
outer husk off number of the
walnuts, leaving them piled in a
heap, still in their hard shells which
the squirrel boys could easily gnaw
through.
"Oh, but my paws are yellow!"
laughed the rabbit gentleman. II
had better hop to the brook and
wash them before the children get
here"
But the water of the brook would
not take off the yellow stain. 1t
only seemed to make it deeper
color, and while Mr.. Longears was
washing and scrubbing away, all
of a sudden, he heard a noise in
the bushes and he thought:
Here come the squirrels and Lit
tie Bub and Bah" But it, wasn't
at all. 1t was the sly Weasel and
as soon as Uncle Wiggily saw this
Bad Chap the bunny was sorry. For
Mr.. Longears knew the Weasel
would try to catch him. All of a
sudden the Weasel snarled:
Hello, you there by the brook!
Who are you?"
why, I'm Uncle Wiggily!' said
the rabbit.
ooh, no you're notl" said the
Weasel, you can't fool me! Uncle
Wiggily hasn't yellow paws like
yours. You can't fool me. I'll GO
get that rabbit, old Yellow Paws!''
So away skunk the Weasel and
Uncle Wiggily was very glad he
had stained his paws with walnut
juice so the Bad Chap didn't know
him.
Then Billie and Johnnie came
scampering through the woods, ano
when they saw the shucked nuts
they chartered for JOY. And when
Little Bub and Little Bah arrived
Johnnie and Billie cracked nuts foi
them.
So everything was happy ano
jolly. And If the rubber boot will
make a shoe for the foot of the
stairs, I'll tell you next about Unclt
Wiggily and Bab's Pussy.

THE COUNTY CHARTER

WITHIN the very near future, the pro-
w proposed county charter drawn up
by the board of freeholders, who have
been laboring on this project all through
the summer and fall, will be submitted
to the citizens of Imperial Valley for
study.
There has been much discussion about
the charter and many of its features
have been explained at various public
gatherings, so that it is not as much
mystery now as it was when the free
holders were selected last spring.
The Press, as one of the valley news
papers which were interested in the pro-
ject of a charter from the start, be-
speaks for it the earnest consideration of
all citizens.
1t should be studied carefully by the
individual so that he can form his own
opinion upon it and not have to be guild
ed by the advice of somebody else.
Those who have sponsored the char
ter, and the board of freholders, who
have unselfishly given SO much of their
time to 1t without recompense, have only
the desire to explain all the charter pro-
visions frankly and fairly, before it is
submitted to the people for their action.
Fairness should prompt the people to
give the charter an unprecedented hear
ing, and base their decision regarding it
solely upon its merits If it can pro-
vide better system of county govern
ment for Imperial Valley we want it,
even though it may contain some provis-
ions which are not acceptable to all.
At any rate, it should not be con-
demned without hearing and the de-
cision of the individual should be based
upon the greatest good for the greatest
number.
Wheat is proving the old maxim that
History repeats. 1t is back to 1870
now.

husband hoped away whistling

Not far from the hollow stump
bungalow, over in the woods, grew
q large black walnut tree. Black
walnuts are not like English wal
nuts, which many children get at
Christmas time. Black walnuts are
in much harder shell, crinkly
shell, black in color, or at least
dark brown, and outside the hard
shell is a soft one, of bark. Both
shells must be taken off before
the nuts can be eaten.
When Uncle Wiggily reached the
walnut tree he saw on the ground
many greenish yellow balls which
he knew were the walnuts in their
outer bark coverings.
"These must first be taken off be-
fore the squirrels can gnaw the
harder, brown shells and get at the
sweet. nutty meat inside" said
the rabbit gentleman to himself.

ing nut shells. can gnaw the soft

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. The
heckling and booing business isn't
nearly as exciting as it used to be.
President Hoover's method and
that generally used by candidates
nowadays is to ignore Interruptions.
The theory is that if ignored the
disturbing persons will soon grow
discouraged and quit. 1t takes all

In the old days it must have
been a lot more fun to boo speak

textbook compiled by Horace Gree
Icy is a verbatim account of po-
l:tical meeting Of the academy of
music which shows an old-fashion-
ed orator dealing with hecklers as
follows:
Charles O'Connor speaking I in
sist that Negro slavery is not I'M
Just. Oong continued applause)
II is not unjust; it is just, wise and
beneficient. (Hisses, followed by
applause and cries of put him
out.') Let him stay gentlemen.
SerpentS may hiss, put good men

again; calls to order; confusion for
a time)
The chairman-If anybody misses
here, remember that everyone has
his own peculiar way of expressing
himself, and as some birds only
understand kissing, they must
hiss. (Applause)
Mr.. O'Connor-Gentlemen, there
is an animal upon this earth that
has no faculty Of making its senti-
mentS known in any other way
than by a hiss. I am for equal
rights. (Three cheers were here

STRANGER THAN FICTION

1t happened in story or in the NOV
les, many of US would say the plot
was bit far-fetched, but Michael Tkach,
AZ, has just been sentenced for a two
year term in Pennsylvania workhouse
for crime committed 81 years ago.
He killed man in the course of an ar
gument and disappeared from the little
town where the tragedy occurred. Some
time ago, while residing in New Britain,
Connecticut, he made friends with man
living in the same house with him. They
became companions.
The secret which Tkach carried in his
breast caused him much uneasiness and
he had longed to relieve himself by tell
ing it to somebody who would under
stand. His friend had shared conf
dences with him and Tkach decided the
former should hear his story.
Accordingly he related the tale of the
tragedy and that was what caused him
to be returned to Pennsylvania, tried and
sentenced on a manslaughter charge.
The man whom he had chosen as the
sharer of his secret was brother of the
man he had killed 81 years previously.
All of which is just an incident in the
lives of the rest of us but it does prove
the old saying that truth is stranger
than fiction
