UNCLE WIGGILY AND
BUNTY'S JUMPER

Uncle Wiggily was standing on
the front steps Of his hollow stump
bungalow one morning. wondering
where he could go to find an ad-
venture, when Baby Bunty came
hopping up to him.
"Oh, Unkie Wig exclaimed the
little orphan rabbit, will you
please buy me a jumper?'
Buy you a jumper" repeated
Mr.. Longears What do you
mean, Bunty? Do you mean buy
you another little rabbit to help
you jump"
"On, how funny you are. Unkie
Wig!r laughed the orphan rabbit.
Il don't mean that at all. I want
a jumper to skip with"
"Skip?" said Mr. Longears, still
not knowing what Bunty meant.
Yes, a rope to skip with. A rope
to jump with. Please buy me Il
jumping rope. Unkie Wig. I don't
mean rope that jumps by itself,
but a rope I can swing around over
my head and skip over with my
legs as 1 twirl it."
"Oh, you want jumping rope?"
asked Mr.. LongearS.
Yes Bunty answered. viii

GOOD DRIVERS

ALTHOUGH only 10 per cent of mot
II orists are capable of driving a car
safely in excess of as miles an hour, 90
per cent of drivers exceed this speed
when the road is straight and IN their
opinion apparently safe.
This according to statisticians of the
State Division of Motor Vehicles, explains
why Is per cent of the accidents on
straight, rural roads, are fatal.
The rural highway had total of 4,7S6
accidents and 736 persons lost their lives
in them. In discussing this high number,
attention might be called to the compar-
atively high number of fatal accidents
on the Holtville road-a wide, straight.
improved highway-whch tends to bear
out the truth of the divisions statement
that many of the most serious wrecks
occur on long, straight stretches of wide
open paved highway, where cars can be
driven at high speed.
Statistics kept by the division during
1881 show that street intersections are
still the leading cause of accidents, but
they have very low percentage of
deaths-3.36 per cent. There were 1921
such accidents reported during the year
and 5S1 of them were fatal.
The states total of deaths in traffic
accidents during the year was 1857.
Based on total accidents reported,
amounting to 35,013, the percentage is
6.76
Those who believe the slippery pave
ment and bad weather are responsible
for most accidents will be somewhat sur
prised to learn that 45.1 per cent of the
fatal accidents occurred on dry roads.
Most accidents occurred in clear wealth
er, 1437 out of 1857 fatal accidents oc-
curing under such conditions.
THE majority of the accidents that
happen on good straight highways, are
due to the mate glorified opinion of the
average motorist in his or her ability to
drive" the statistical report states.
In other words, vanity is another of
the sins that perch on the steering
wheel. 1t is we'll known fact that many
good drivers, wind up on the marble
slab in the morgue. The fellow who
knows he is not SO good, is inclined to
be bit more careful.

and jumping. Putting the rope il
his pocket, Uncle Wiggily hoped
back to the woods, once again to
look for an adventure.
I'll take this short cut through
the swamp" said Uncle Wiggily to
himself as he neared the bog 81
think it is still frozen hard enough
so I will not sink down. And by
taking the short cut 1 may find an
adventure"
The swamp or bog, was a wet,
Watery place where in warm
weather one might sink down into
a soft mud hole. But in winter the
swamp was frozen, so it was safe
to hop through it.
So Uncle Wiggily started through
the swamp, but he had gone in
only a little way when, all of a
sudden, he felt himself sinking
down.
oh! OH" cried the rabbit. I'm
stuck in the bogl 1t wasn't frozen
as hard as 1 thought it was. I
shouldn't have come this way. I'm
going DOWN. And down he went,
just as if he were in an elevator,
only not SO nicely.
Uncle Wiggily tried to pull his
legs out of the soft, sticky mud,
but he couldn't He was held fast.
There were no trees or bushes near
which he could take hold of to
help pull himself out. So, as he
found himself sinking deeper and
deeper, he called:
Help! Help! Help!"
He waited, but no answer came.
Deeper and deeper he sank in the
bog.
Help! Help! Help" he called
again. Then he heard voices
answering him and one said:
That sounds like Unkie Wig and
he's in trouble. We must help
mimi"
"Hal That's Baby Bunty!'
thought Mr.. Longears. She must
be coming home from school with
my other bunny boys and girls.
They can help me-" Then he
called: Come over this way-to
the swamp! I'm sinking!'
Quickly Baby Bunty and the
other bunnies rushed to where
Uncle Wiggily was stuck in the
sticky mud. Quickly Mr.. LongearS
took Bunty's jumping rope from
his pocket Holding one end he
threw the other end to the rabbit
children who stood a little away
from him on solid ground. They
pulled and pulled on the rope
until they pulled Mr.. Longear'
safely out and, except for being
muddy, he wasn't hurt at all. But
it was a good thing he had Bunty';
rope with him.

Judge Comments
On Proper Way
To Turn Corner

Judge I. Mayfield, street and
highway safety committeeman of
the California State Chamber Of
Commerce, this morning issued a
statement explaining the proper
method of turning to the left at
street intersections. The statement
follows:
Judging from the actions of
many motorists in turning to the
left at street intersections, there is
misapprehension as to the re-
quirementS of the law and rules OF
safety in that respect.
For the information of the oper-
atorS of vehicles and for their guild
ance, I quote from section 129 of
the California Vehicle Act.
Paragraph 2, section 129. The
operator of a vehicle intending to
turn to the left shall approach the
point of turning in the traffic lane
to the right of and next to the
center of the roadway, and, unless
otherwise directed by turning mark
ers shall pass to the right of the
center of the intersection before
turning
This is the state law, and is ex-
plicit. Any deviation from it causes
confusion, and has in number OF
cases here in El Centro resulted in
accidents and consequent litigation
both criminal and civil.
Those who want to obey the law
are continually being blocked by
someone cutting the corner, thereby
causing confusion and congestion
of traffic"

wore a neatly trimmed mustache.
Sherin is bigger physically in all
respects, his amply proportioned
head crowned by a full thatch OF
white hair, befitting his 63 years.
In recent years Sherill has de-
voted much time to New York uni
versity, of which he is a trustee.
He is proud of the fact while he
has been a trustee the university's
enrolment has grown from 5000 to.
$1,000, a figure exceeded only by
Columbia university. He founded
the university's school Of fine arts.

DON'T SPEED AWAY

ANOTHER phase of our modern traf-
II fic, which at present is receiving con-
siderable attention throughout the state
IS the so-called hit and run" driver.
Yesterday the police in the northern
part of the state arrested one such mot
orist, not knowing at the time of arrest
that he was doing anything more serious
than speeding.
While making out ticket on this
charge, the officers noticed blood on the
front of the car Further investigation
revealed two young men dead on the
highway short distance from where the
officers had stopped the driver. Some
will take the attitude that this driver is
not guilty of murder He is just as
guilty as he who takes life with gun,
knife or poison.
At the present time the Los Angeles
courts are trying a youth on man.
slaughter charge, arising out of the same
sort of accident. In his behalf the de-
fense presented as a witness a young
girl who was riding with the youth when
his car struck and fatally injured an eld-,
erly woman.
The girl very complacently informed
the jury that she had told the youth to
drive on" after the woman had been
struck, and because Sne was MS girl
friend, he obeyed.
These two examples are cited to indi-
cate the callousness of some who are
permitted by the state to drive a machine
which can be a very potent agency Of
death. From mental standpoint they
are hardly eligible to be trusted with
g 'kiddie kar."
1t is certainly bad to be involved in an
automobile accident involving injury or
death to another. But bad as this is, it
is something that is likely to happen to
anyone who drives car. The only hon
cradle course under such circumstances
is to stop, whether one is to blame for
the accident or not.
Parents who permit their sons and
daughters to drive cars should impress
this fact upon them. No matter how
distressing the accident may be, nothing
is to be gained by speeding away. No
matter how trivial the collision, it is best
to stop.
