and turns the rain into snow
And what is ice?" asked Baby
Bunty, still like the Lady Mouse
Teacher in the Hollow Stump
School.
lice is frozen water" answered
Uncle Wiggily.
Then" went on Bunty, "ice and
snow are almost the same, except
that snow comes down lazy like
and slow from the sky in feathery
flakes and ice is in big chunks and
it rides around in wagons and
sleeps in ice boxes"
THAT is very nearly rightP said
Uncle Wiggily. Snow and ice
are much the same
"Well, then,' went on Bunty, eff
Mr. Whitewash has ice in his cave
couldn't you make some of it into
snow so we children could have a
snow party?"
Perhaps we could" Uncle Wig
gily said. But what would you
do at the snow party, Bunty?"
WED slide down hill on our
sleds, of course" said the orphan
rabbit.
Slide down hill on snow in the
summer time-in July?" exclaimed
Uncle Wiggily. How could it be
done?"
Like this,' said Bunty, who
seemed to think that Uncle Wig
gily could do anything. Get some
snow from Mr.. Whitewash and scat
ter it over the hill back of your
bungalow. Even if it is July and
the sun is hot the snow will not
melt right away. We could have
lovely snow party coasting down
hill on snow in summer. Will you
do it, Unkie Wig?" and Bunty used
all the baby talk she was allowed.
Uncle Wiggily twinkled his pink
nose. He loved Baby Bunty and
would do almost anything for her.
He wanted to make her happy.
"Will you, Unkie Wig?" asked the
little orphan rabbit softly.
"I'll see what we can dol" was
all Mr.. Longears would promise.
Come, Bunty, we'll go to the cave
of Mr.. Whitewash, where he has
SO many cakes of ice, and We'll
see if we can have a snow party
So what happened after that I'll
tell you tomorrow night. Then, ii
the chocolate cake will stop trying
to make the rice pudding sleep in
the salt cellar, you shall hear, very
soon, about Uncle Wiggily's coast
ing fun.

Chic Sale Film
At Fox Imperial

A story bubbling over with hu-
man interest has been provided for
Chic Sale, famous impersonator
of old characters, in his newest
play Stranger In Town, which
plays tonight only at Fox Imper-
ial airdome.
Sale is seen as the owner of a
small town store, whose world is
threatened with ruin when his
granddaughter returns from the
city in love with the representative
of a grocery chain Which has de-
cided to open a store in the town.
The old man disowns the girl
who marries her lover but later
leaves him believing he is respon-
sible for a boycott against the
grandfather. Eventually husband
and grandfather join forces and the
young couple are reunited.
Ann Dvorak is cast as the girl
and David Manners has the role of
her lover. Raymond Hatton, Noah
Beery, Lyle Talbot and others are
in the supporting cast.
At $3.50 the famous Polly Moran
Marie Dressler comedy Politics
will be shown by request. This was
seen here several months ago, and
even those who saw it then will
get plenty of laughs out of the sec
ond showing.

LOS ANGELES, July %. U.P)-
Lima Basquette, dancer, was re-
moved to her home today from
Georgia street receiving hospital
after receiving treatment for self
administered poison.
Although her condition was at
first believed to be critical, physi-
clans said that prompt emergency
measures had been effective, and
believed she would recover.
Police found a note in her apart
ment which they believed was in
tended for Jack Dempsey, former
heavyweight boxing champion of
the world, with whom her name
had been linked recently in a re-
ported romance. The note read:
"Dear Jack: love you-only
you. 1 couldn't help it. I couldn't
60 on without you"
Only a few hours before the sui
eide attempt she had announced
her engagement to marry Teddy
Hayes. Dempsey's former trainer,
with whom the fighter was said TO
have quarreled over Miss Bas-
quette's affections.
Before swallowing the poison, po-
Iece believe she telephoned to
Dempsey and Hayes.
Police believed a call for an am
bulance received by the Georgia
street receiving hospital was made
by Dempsey.

who gave his name as Teddy Hayes.
James Dawson and Police Sur
geon George Holmkant were re-
fused admission to the apartment
and kicked in the door. Miss BaS-
quette was stretched across a divan
groaning and almost unconscious.
DR.. Ivo j. Lopivich, who pumped
out her stomach in desperate at
tempt to save her life, said the
actress told him she had taken 100
tablets of a deadly poison, enough
to kill number of people.
After receiving treatment, Miss
Basquette moaned:
Tell the world I'm nuts"
Divorced Twice
Police were told that last night
Miss Basquette, her manager, Mark
Bloom, and Teddy Hayes made a
round of Hollywood night clubs be-
fore she returned to her apartment.
She has been married twice, her
first husband being Sam Warner,
motion picture producer. and her
second Peyeren Marley, film Gamer
anan.
Since her divorce with Marley,
her name has been linked with that
of several men but more recently
with that of Dempsey, with whom
she has been appearing in vaude-
vile.
They were to have appeared in a
local theatre this week but the ap-
pearance was cancelled when Miss

IMPERIAL COUNTY
MAKES CLAIM TO
OLDEST VOTER

Some queer things are found in
the backwash of registration as Of
ficials at the county clerks office
check, re-check, copy and file af-
fidavits of registration in prepar-
alton for coming elections.
That Imperial Valley has a claim
to one of the country's oldest voters
was discovered yesterday afternoon
as Mrs. Margaret Anne Christian,
deputy clerk, copied affidavits.
She was copying the affidavit of
Armstead Smith, Brawley precinct
No. 7, when she came to that part
of the affidavit saying, my occu-
patton is::". The answer, legibly
written, was, "old age, 109 years.
One ambitious voter, it was dis
! covered, had registered twice,
changing his first name somewhat
on the second registration, as well
as the place of birth. A Hibernian
! family name in the first case was
preceded by the name Patrick, and
in the second affidavit by the name
Pat.
The signatures were the same,
bodily measurements and descrip-
tions were the same and place of
residence tailed. Yet Pat was born
in Massachusetts,, and Patrick was
born in Ireland. Needless to say,
only one of the affidavits was
filed, and that was the one giving
Ireland as the birthplace.
The oddities recalled one regis
tration experience this spring, when
a deputy was confronted by a man
who insnsted in giving his occupa-
ton as tramp" On the objection
of the deputy, he said he had been
unable to obtain work, was a So
cialist, and so insisted on remaining
a tramp. His occupation still is
listed that way.

HEAVY DAMAGES
DEMANDED FOR
AUTO ACCIDENT

Death of F. A McCallum in an
automobile accident May % on the
Campo road two miles west of the
White Star service station yester-
day afternoon brought a $4,000
damage suit in superior court here
against James A. Tillotson, owner
of the car in which McCallum was
riding, John Richard Nutbrown,
driver of the car, P. S. Stevenson
as the man who first signed an
operators application for Tillotson,
minor, and Mr.. and Mrs. H. j.
Tillotson, his father and mother.
Mrs. Vera McCallum signed the
damage complaint for herself and
Ferdinand A, Roy L., Stanley O.,
Mary Anna, and Jeanne McCallum,
children of the accident victim.
Ferdinand is 16 years old, and the
others are under IA.
Nutbrown and Tillotson had been
drinking before the accident, and
were intoxicated at the time, the
complaint charged. Carelessness
and negligence of the two were
blamed for the accident. Nutbrown
was negligent in his driving, and
Tillotson was negligent in allowing
him to drive, said the complaint.
McCallum was killed when the
roadster in which the three men
were riding got out CT control
swinging off the road and over
turning on a curve.
The complaint asked $4,000 dam
ages for McCallum's death and $27C
for medical and funeral expenses.
Stevenson is brought into the
suit as the adult who, in 1927
signed the application of Tillotsor
for a drivers license, since the lat.
ter is under legal age. Mr.. anc
Mrs. H. ]. Tillotson signed an ap.
| plication for a renewal of the Ii.
cense in 1928, the complaint said.

tion of the veterans ruling Washington
or the government ruling Washington
and to that there could be only one an
sWer-the government must rule.
To criticize the President for his action
is manifestly unfair, but it will be done
nevertheless. He likewise had only one
course when the district officials in
formed him that matters had gone be-
yond their control. He had to summon
the army, the same as he would have
had to send troops into any state when
state authorities informed him that they
were unable to keep the peace One
might as well criticize the soldiers who
advanced on the veterans-they too only
obeyed orders.
The whole affair, from the start of the
first contingent of veterans out of Port
land, up to yesterdays climax has been
regrettable and ill-advised. One man in
the entire string of developments seems
to have used his head-the chief OF po-
lice at Washington, who succeeded in
averting clash as long as it was human
" possible.
Neither the veterans nor their leaders
used their heads. They must have
known that without the solid backing of
the various veterans organizations, they
could not hope to win their contention
that the bonus should be paid at once.
The organizations remained aloof from
the advance on the capital-their hearts
possibly with their comrades, but their
heads telling them the latter were wrong.
The bonus army" is a chapter in Am
erican history that we would like to for
get, but which we will be a long time in

Band Little Used.

Because comparatively little use is
being made of the amateur frequency
band from LIS to 1000 kilocycles
(about ITS to $50 meters), the Ameri-
can Radio Relay League, national or
ganization of radio amateurs, is urging
the use of this band by district or Sec
tion net works of the Naval Reserve
amateurs. Neglect of this band is due,
it is explained, to the trend in recent
years toward the higher frequencies, or
shorter waves.
