WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-If the
late speaker Nick" Longworth OF
Ohio were living, he might rub his
eyes and look twice at his old crony
and successor, the present Speaker
John Nance Garner OF Texas.
The rugged ranchman has not
exactly succeeded Longworth as the
best dressed man in the house, but
he has brushed up considerably
since the papers began to talk
about him as a possible presidential
candidate.
In the past few weeks an actually
distinguished look has come about
in the man who formerly paid lit
tie attention TO such things as
clothes and how he wore them. He
now affects wing collar, keeps
his white thatch-becomingly set
ting off his ruddy complexion
closely cropped, and wears suit OF
fine texture which is always care
fully brushed and carries not the
slightest trace of the familiar bag
one sees about the knees of many
congressman, and used TO notice
about Garner.
There is nothing Of the dandy
about Garner. He dresses now in 2
style that would please the masses
he champions, a style that some
how enhances the breeziness of his
character, emphasizes that western
freshness, a statesman of the peo-
pie. He looks the western con-
gresham of the novels. And the
sombrero that sits jauntily athWart
his bushy white eyebrows contri-
butes much to this impression.
He's still the Democratic and
gruffly affable Garner, though, des-
pite the outward change, that the
house has known for so many years
He still is the calculator OF the
warm, living phrase that is very
effective. The homely, quaint
language that sums up a situation
vividly still is his. He can't ust
it now much from the chair, though
occasionally there is an opportuni

so large she couldn't push it any
more.
Now you must help, Johnnie,
said the orphan rabbit. So the
squirrel boy helped push the snow
ball with Bunty until it was much
larger and so heavy that the two
animal children could no longer
move it to gather more snow.
Nov it's my turn to help" said
Uncle Wiggily. So he began ta
push the big SNOWFALL with Johnnie
and Bunty. Around and around
the three friends rolled the ball
ever the snowy ground, and il
kept picking up more and more OF
the white flakes until the ball was
bigger than the rabbit gentleman
himself.
ITS very Target, painted Johnnie

any MORE" gasped Bunty.
Perhaps not" agreed Uncle
Wiggily We'll, it is a fine, large
cnowball that we have made" he
said to the two animal children
"and I thank you very much foi
helping me-"
"Oh, you are quite welcome,
said Johnnie.
But now that you have the
big SNOWFALL, Unkie Wig" sale
Bunty, what are you going to dc
with it?"
Hum! I must thing about that,
said Mr.. Longears. You two may
run along. and play if you like
I'll stay here by the big snowfall
and try to think of something tC
do with it. Hop along
Johnnie and Bunty ran away tC
play in the woods, leaving Mr.
Longears standing beside his big
snowfall, wondering what to dC
with it. And what happened next
shall tell you tomorrow night
Then the story will be about Uncle
Wiggily's big push.
And I do hope the milk bottle
doesn't try to climb the back fence
and scratch its neck on a nail.

UNCLE WIGGMY'S BIG
SNOWFALL

The snow had been falling SO
thick and fast in Woodland, where
Uncle Wiggily had built his hol-
low stump bungalow, that before
noon the ground was covered
white. The snow covered the trees
in the woods. and the bushes also,
making the place look, as Baby
Bunty said, like Fairyland.
Baby Bunty was coming home
when she said this. She had said
her lessons to the Lady Mouse
Teacher in the Hollow Stump
School and, having finished, was
on her way home through the
snow.
1T is nice, soft snow" said Baby
Bunty, picking some up in her
paws and making ball which she
threw at Johnnie Busytail. But
the little orphan rabbit didn't hit
the squirrel boy. for he jumpel be-
hind a tree. And then, all of a
sudden, Johnnie loudly chartered

This is what the National Hunger

who represented and were themselves
militant fighters in the war of the
masses against hunger. In thousands
Of street battles against evictions,
against the charity racketeers, for

LENIN CORNER
ATTITUDE OF SOCIALISTS TOWARD
WAR

TIE Socialists have always condemned wars
between peoples as barbarous and bestiak
our attitude towards war, however, differs in
principle from that Of the bourgeois pacfists
and anarchists We differ from the first in that
we understand the inseparable connection be-
tween wars on the one hand and class struggles
inside Of q country on the other; we understand
the irnpoesibility OF eliminating wars without
eliminating classes and creating Socialism and
IN that we fully recognize the justice the pro-
gressivisn and the necessity Of civil wars l. e,
vars Of an oppressed class against the oppressor,
OF slaves against the shareholders, of serfs
against the landowners, OF wage-workers against
the bourgeoisie. We Mardsts differ both from
pacifists and anarchists in that we recognize
the necessity of an historical study Of each war
individually from the point Of view of Marks
dialectical materialsn. There have been many
wars in history which, notwithstanding all the
horrors cruelties, miseries and fortunes, in
eUtably connected with every war had q pro-
gressive character, l. e.. they served the develop
ment Of mankind, aiding in the destruction Of
extremely pernicious and reactionsry institutions
(as. for instance, absoluism or serfdom), or
helping 20 remove the most barbarous despot-
isms in Europe chat Of Turkey and Russia. 1t
is therefore necessary to examine the historic
characteristics of the present war taken by
itself.

Neither were there guards on

tainly a different atmosphere and
scene than that produced by the
historical National Hunger March.
Hoover, who shivered in his we'll

former secretary of labor and now
senator, Davis, received Cox on the
Capitol steps and personally read his

How is the difference in the at

OF the masses of Negro and white
residents Of that city, to be explain
ed? Why did the National Hunger

why did hundreds of thousands OF
Washington workers pour out to greet

ignored entirely the events Of jan

The explanation is not to be found
only in an analysis of the compost

While it is true that "Cox's Jobless
