Arabella. You have heard some
stories about them: One of the
first things Charlie ever did was
to get into trouble and today when
Uncle Wiggily started out adven-
turing the rooster boy got into
trouble again.
The rabbit gentleman was hop
ping along, twinkling his pink
nose, humming a little song and
swinging his red, white and blue
striped rheumatism crutch when,
as he came near a little brook that
flowed out of the duck pond, he
heard voices talking.
Come onl Try it againl"
croaked a deep voice which Uncle
Wiggily knew at once was that of
Bully Notail the frog boy.

mother told me not to-"
That's Charlie Chick, the rooster
boy" said Uncle Wiggily to him.

wants Charlie to do that Chralio
doesn't want to do? I'd better take
look"
Leaning on his rheumatism
crutch, Uncle Wiggily peered
through the bushes toward the
duck pond. He saw Charlie and
Bully standing near a place where
grew many big, round, green water
lily leaves. The leaves were broad
and flat like raft boats.
Come onl Jump aboard one and
have a ride!" invited Bully. Here
are two big leaves near shore. I'll
dive down under water and bite
them loose from their stems Then
you and I can have a fine ride"
NO" crowed Charlie. once be-
fore I rode on a lily leaf with you
and it whirled like a merry-go-
round and I nearly spilled into the
water. Since then my mother told
me to keep off lily leaf boats"
"Well, all right, suit yourself!"

Down under the water jumped
Bully Notail. He bit through the
long, rubber-like stems OF the lily
leaves so that two of the broad,
flat green things floated in the

KINGS out"

DEVOLT in Spain indicates there are
AZ still no small number of persons be-
lieving in ''the divine right of kings,
doctrine that once flourished but has
long since been sliding into the discard.
The revolt need cause no alarm among
those believing in democraeies, however,
for the people of Spain proved by quick
ly crushing the revolt that they will have
no more kings-at least net for a while.
1t is an odd sidelight on human nature
that Alfonso, deposed king of Spain, de-
nies any knowledge of the revolt plans.
This may not be exactly the truth, for
one can hardly think of the revolt lead
ers plotting without having some COM
munication with Alfonso.
On the other hand, it could be true,
for Alfonso was of the liberal type of
king and had he been given the oppor-
tunity to do so, would have willingly
staid on to rule the republic as president.
Granting that Alfonso is speaking
truly, it puts the plan for restoring the
monarchy up to his followers-the army
leaders and mobiles who have been shorn
of their power by the new regime.
With a few exceptions, in countries
where kings are merely figureheads, the
king business is out. Democracies
may have their faults, but if they exist
they are chargeable to the people 1t is
better to have them at fault than to have
them laboring under abuses and wrongs
without having any say in the matter.
With his uncertainty about the renom-
inatien now officially at an end, Presi-
dent Hoover can rest easy o nights.
Maybe he is a scalawag, but the under
current of sympathy is for Jimmy Walk
er And that is what personality will
do for man.

DRY LAW ATTACKED
BY CARDINAL HAYES
Catholic Archbishop Sees Beneficial
Results Of Business Slump on
Return to U. s.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
CORAL GABLES, Fla, February IS.
Patrick Cardinal Hayes, archbishop OF
New York, arrived here Tuesday from
Nassau with words Of criticism for the
prohibition laws and expressions of be-
lief that the Nation has benefited
greatly from less prosperous times.
He went recently to Nassau to install
q prefect apostolic for the Bahamas,
"The church," he said, teaches rea-
sonable use of the things God has
given us. But the church does not hold
for prohibition except for those who
cannot control their appetites. Tenn
perance is one of the four cardinal
virtues"
He said prohibition has not succeeded
and has brought abuses in its wake, and
expressed the belief people should be
free to abstain II they wish, but that
abstinence should not be forced upon
the American citizenship as q whole.
The archbishop said he found the
business depression means of seeing
things in their real proportions. He
said business conditions are not de-
plorable, and described the era OF sew
eral years ago as. a prosperity men
thought they had created, and found
a mockery that has been grinning at
them ever since"
THE present depression has been q
very Christening influence" he con-
cluded, "and Christening influence Is
good for the soul and good for the body.
This applies both to individuals and
nations" !"
