UNCLE WIGGILY'S JAM TARTS

When Uncle Wiggily hoped
down stairs in his hollow stump
bungalow one morning, he saw
many of his little rabbit boys and
girls clustered around the rooms.
Some were singing, some were
whistling, others were playing rug
tag and few were trying to see
now flat they could make their
pink noses by pressing them
against the windows.
whats this? WHAT'S this?" ex-
claimed Uncle Wiggily in surprise
as he looked at the clock and saw
that it was past the hour of nine.

VIRTUES NO LONGER

TOLERANCE and liberal attitude are
highly commendable virtues, but like
patience, they can cease to be virtues
To us it appears that virtue has flown
and flown long distance when great
civic auditorium such as San Francisco
has, built by the peoples money, and
made possible through the protection af-
forded them by the flag of the United
States, is used for radical meeting
such as was held there Sunday
Above the speakers stand was draped
the flag of Russia bearing the hammer
and the sickle-emblemat of force and
death, in place of the stars and stripes.
Instead of the Star Spangled Banner"
the International" hymn of the Reds,
was sung.
Among other speakers were two men
who have not been cold, hungry and
shelterless for years because of the sue
cess that has come to them through the
opportunities and protection afforded
them by the United States-Theodore
Dresser and Lincoln Steffens, both of
them writers.
We can overlook the ranting of Dresser
and Steffens and even the singing of
the INTERNATIONAL" if need be, but sup
planting the stars and stripes with the
leu nag VI RuoSld 10 oOlucllflUS ludL
never can be forgiven or excused.
So many of US rage against the for
eigner, yet we have seen classes of for
eigners being made into American citi-
bens, their eyes fastened on the stars
and stripes While they pledged their al
legiance to it, and agleam with the love
and respect for it which has come to
them. What contrast between them
and DreiSer and Steffen men born in
this country and protected by that flag
from the time they drew their first
breath Why condem even the poor ig
norant foreigner who listens to the raw
ings of the Reds" and accepts their doc
trines when he has such horrible exam
pies as Steffen and Dresser set before
him?
San Francisco has a reputation for
liberality and tolerance which is world
renowned. But it also has reputation
for Americanism which it seems to have
permitted to be forgotten Sunday.

 Won Papen's declaration to Hugh Bniliie, executive vice president of the United Press. that Germany did not intend to default on her private debts, attracted particular attention here. officials said they never doubted that Germany iri- tended to pay these obligations.

 According to official figures Am- erica's stake in Germany. private debts Is high.

 Director Tabuates Receipts Which Make Up Fund

Mir Harris explained how the Waterbury figure for available funds is not true and how the fund is realized, as follows:
 Flight months includes 32 weeks and our receipts are based on an average weekly figure of about S9,O0O. Nine thousand dollars for 32 weeks equals about $28S, 900. Now according to the budgets of the Lincoln House association, the Diocesan bureau and the City Well fare department, the estimates for the eight months period would be figured as follows: Lincoln House, s24,000; Diocesan Bureau, s20.000. City Welfare department, $120.00O. Now add the $96.000 given the Mutual Aid by the city and you have total of well over $525, ,0O0.
 Mir Harris contends that while the actual receipts from contri- buttons makes up the budget for the Mutual Aid, about $288,000, the work of the other charitable or- ganizations must be taken into con- sideration. Those organizations give out food and clothing as well aB the Mutuai Aiu. anu d pSSh VI potatoes costs the other organiza. ton as much as 1t does the Mu- tuaI Aid. MT Harris said. He add. ed that the $96,O0O figure comes from the $3.0OO weekly given tht Mutual Aid by the City of Water. bruy, in the form of food He ex. piained that the city itself spends about $195,OOO year in taking care of the needy and unemployed that the Lincoln House association cxpends $3G,000 year md the ] Diocesan Bureau about $28,000.
