said Nurse Jane. But never mind
spelling words now. Go up to the
bathroom and clean your teeth
like a good bunny child"
"All right said Pinkie, 50 up TO
the bathroom she hoped. The
door was open and her own little
tooth brush was in a rack over the
basin. There was a stool for
Pinkie TO stand on as she was too
small. otherwise, to reach the
faucet to turn on the water.
4 guess I'll lock the bathroom
door while 1 am cleaning my
teeth said Pinkie to herself. III
! don't somebody might come in
and I would splash water on them
from my tooth brush and that
would not be polite. So III close
and lock the door,
Now the bathroom door in Uncle
Wiggily's bungalow could be locked
on the inside but it could not be
unlocked from the outside as it
had no key hole. The lock was like
bolt and whoever went in the
bathroom TO clean teeth could lock
and unlock the door very easily.
But no one could unlock it from
outside
PinlZie turned the bolt, got up
on the stool and gave her teeth a
good cleaning. Then she dried her
paws and face and started to un-
lock the door to go downstairs and
play But the lock stuck, and
though Pinkie tried as best she
could, her little paws were not
strong enough to unlock the door

Check 70 Cost

II would have been much easier
for Jack Jones TO make good the
check in the first place, in the face
OF a decision given yesterday after
noon by Judge I. Mayfield after a
charge of issuing a check on in
sufficient funds was dismissed and
Jones pleaded guilty to petty theft.
Judge Mayfield sentenced Jones
to 60 days in the county Jail, and
withheld the commitment on con-
dition Jones pay to Fred Anderson
the amount of the check, Sl2, and
repay the county for the expense
of prosecution.
This means Jones will have to
pay. in addition to the amount of
the check, the cost of returning

WASHINGTON, April "A. - The
plea for a larger United States
navy" heard SO often today, has
been handed down through the
years for more than a century.
Back in 1881, when Andrew Jack
son occupied the White House,
students OF naval affairs pointed
TO the war of 1872, shook Their
heads sadly and reported:
"The unremitting attention
which has been paid by the mari
time powers of Europe TO the inn
proyement and perfection of their
ships of war and Of naval dis
cipline, calls for awakened vigl"
lance on our part
Advocates of increased naval
construction in 1882 have ex-
pressed their opinions in almost
the same manner as their prede-
cessors, who argued 100 years ago:
The position of the United
States. remote as it is from the
scene Of European rivalry, affords
no immunity from the conse-
quences.
Commerce makes neighbors of
all nations" they said, land the
conflicts of interest or ambition be-
tween any two, can scarcely fail @
involving others"
The United States navy was IL
none too good condition those days
and pirating on the high seas en-
dangering the commerce OF this
nation.

Yetary of the Navy Levi Woodbury.,

He explained that a fire not only
endangers one family and one
home but jeopardizes the lives of
neighbors and surrounding resi-
dences. He also said fire insur-
ance is not paid by the insurance
company but by the community,
the company merely serving as an
agent. Too many fires result in
the raising of fire insurance rates,
the increase burdening the careful
and the careless alike, he said.
