store. Unkie Wig?"
It's a secret!" whispered the
rabbit gentleman.
"Oh, I didn't know any stores

Il know store where they sell
toys and lollypops, but. I never

clump of grass because he felt so
fine. Il mean what I am going to
buy at the store is a secret. can't
tell even you, Little Bub."
''All right, tnen I won't ask you,'
said the rainbow boy. I'm not a

That will be finel" laughed I'm
Gle Wiggily, twinkling his pink
nose and jumping over another
bunch of grass. Some day I'll tell
you IllS StCTtI.
Soon they reached a store and
while Uncle Wiggily went inside
Little Bub stayed outside so that
he might not discover the secret.
The rainbow boy played tag with
his shadow on the grass.
After while Uncle Wiggily hop
, ped out with something in a blue
paper. Little Bub looked at it but
didn't try to peek inside.
This is the secret said Mr.
Longears.
"Oh, is it?" asked the rainbow
boy, and then he ran along with
the rabbit gentleman.
/ After a while the two reached
a deep, dark part of the woods and,
| all of a sudden, there was a twid-
ding noise in the bushes and some
thing made a growing noise.
"Oh, ho!" whispered Uncle Wig
gily. Here is our adventure, Bubl

"Ha. Then I will give the Bob

I bit. Quickly he took something

"Oh, wow!" hoWled the BaC
Chap, Il don't like snowballs

UNCLE WIGGILY's SNOWFALL

Little Bub, the rainbow boy, was
so jolly and excited after he had
the adventure with Uncle Wiggily
and the popcorn that he just could
MT keep still.
I'm goins 10 have another adj
venture with Unkie Wig as soon
as I wake up said Little Bub to
his mother when he went to bed
that night.
"All right, my dear she an
swered as she kissed his red cheeks,
smoothed his tangled, golden yell
low hair and made him close his
blue eyes. The colors in Bulbs hair,
eyes and cheeks were what made
him look like part of the rainbow
in a soap bubble, after which he
was named. You may go to see
the rabbit gentleman tomorrow y
promised BubS mother.

GOOD BOOK WEEK

NATIONAL Education Week, observed
IN last week, is followed this week by
Good Book Week. 1t is we'll that the two
should go hand in hand, for books are
synonymous with education.
Good books are even better than good
friends, for they do not die, move away
or change into enemies. They are the
same for as long as they last, which is
indefinitely.
Reading is showing most encourag-
ing increase all over the nation. 1t may
be due in part to the number of persons
who are out of work. or who are work
ing on shortened schedule. But the fact
remains that the call for good books is
greater today than ever before.
Here in Ell Centre, despite the short
ened schedule on which the library has
been compelled to operate, the circulation
for last month shows a total of 1897
volumes, or an increase of 1000 volumes
more than the same month last year.
The library here is patronized heavi
ly throughout the year, not only by
students but by adults who wish to con-
tinue their education or enjoy their leis-
ure hours in reading. Books of history,
economics, travel, and biography are
still in heavy demand although fiction
is also the subject of many calls.
Educators throughout the country
have reported a swing away from the
cheap magazines in favor of more sub
stantial literature. The number of such
magazines which have disappeared in re-
cent months is astonishing. On the other
hand there have never been more worth
while books offered to the public.
For the person who cannot afford
library of his own, the public library
offers an extensive field for good read
ing, and at little or no cost to him. The
library staff is ready at all times to as
sist in providing list Of diversified sub
jects, or if one wishes to specialize in
his reading, list of books on one sub
iect can be obtained.
National Good Book Week should be
an incentive to those who have not yet
found the enjoyment that comes from
reading to start in by visiting the library
and finding out what it has to offer. 1t
is here for the convenience of the pub
lie and the more readers it furnishes
with good reading matter, the more ef-
ficiently it is functioning.

THE RIGHT WAY

was no idle or polite pledge of COOP
Grafton which President Hoover
made last week in extending his con-
gratulations to Governor Roosevelt, after
the people had made their decision at the
polls
Proof of the sincerity of his pledge is
found in the announcement that Mr..
Hoover has invited Governor Roosevelt
to Washington for conference some
time this week.
The subject of foreign debts has been
placed squarely up to the government
by the request of several powers for a
postponement on the payments due from
them. This and other matters could be
handled by President Hoover without
consulting the next president, but to do
so would be moving directly against the
wishes of the people as expressed last
week.
Our present system of eecting the
President of the United States calls for
his Inauguration some five months after
the people have elected him, relic from
the early days of the nation when dis
tances were longer than they are now,
viewed from the standpoint of time re-
quired to travel them. Where the
change in president means no change in
party, this is not dangerous, even though
it may be inconvenient. But where the
party in power is changed, the delay is
embarrassing and could be permitted to
become quite confusing.
Fortunately the good sense of Presi-
dent Hoover and Governor Roosevelt has
risen above partisanship and considered
the welfare of the entire country. They
can meet on a common ground as men
desiring to do only what is best for the
nation and cooperate with each other to
that end.
Abolishing the "lame duck session of
congress, and advancing the inaugural
date, provided for in a constitutional
amendment now before the states, will
correct the delay which exists at pres
ent.
Pending the ratification of this amend
ment, the President and Governor Roose-
velt have taken the only sensible course.
They have given an example of public
service and political sportsmanship that
might well be followed by every victor
ious and defeated candidate throughout
the country.

SAFEST OF VAULTS
BEING CONSTRUCTED
Concrete, Steel, Water Pro-
tect Bank of England.

London.-"I want the new Bank
of England made so impregnable
that no one could even steal so
much as half a sovereign from its
vaults. Even the theft Of that
small sum would ruin our prestige" /"
That statement. made by Man
tagu Norman, governor of the Bank
of England, is responsible for the
mighty barricade of steel and ce-
ment being built 60 feet below the
streets of London.
NOrman's instructions are being
carried out to the letter and the
new vaults will withstand assault,
fire, bombardment, dynamite and
flood for the next 500 years. If any
intruder even gets inside, he must
face the danger of being drowned,
shot or captured.
The new safes are costing $780,
600 and will be the main feature
of the new Bank of England build
ing, now half finished. All work
has been carried out behind high
barricades.
The outer doors of the safes are
described as artillery proof. The
outer shells are bronze while the
cores are solid blocks of 3-inch
steel.
All the STRONG room" system
rests on a three-foot bed of con-
crete reinforced with hardened
steel rods, and covered with a lay
er of steel. The sides of the vaults
and safes are protected in the same
way. Architects are certain that
no amount of tunneling would ever
permit access from below or from
the sides.
The only feasible access to the
safes and vaults will be from
above, through massive grille gates
and steel doors, guarded. if neces-
these gates and doors is a deep
shaft, with elevators, leading down
to the level of the vaults.
In emergencies this shaft can be
flooded, drowning intruders, with
no danger of the water penetrating
the strong rooms.
There are more strong grilles at
the bottom of the shaft and the
huge safe door weighs 25 tons. Not
even the governor of the bank can
open the safe door. The combina-
tion code Of the lock Is divided up,
no one person knowing all Of it.
Even inside the safe door there
are innumerable steel doors to be
opened before a single bar Of gold
could be removed from the rack
on which 1t lies.

FISHING PARTY
RESCUED FRIDAY
Wilmington and Elsmere Folk
Staying at Bowers Beach
Land at Lewes Safely
CRAFT RUNS OUT OF GAS

Six persons are safe in their
Summer homes at Bowers Beach
Friday, after having been rescued
by Tampa bound steamer from
their motorboat which had run out
of gas near Bowers Beach, and in
which they were stranded for sew
eral hours in the Delaware Bay
during the night. The persons res
cued, none the worse for their ex-
perience, are: Nelson T. Vanaman,
Mrs. Ethel Vanaman, his wife;
Walter Vanaman, 10, their son;
Carl Schwindt, Elsmere; Captain
Ralph Knowles, and his son, Henry
10. The party had gone out on a
fishing trip early Thursday after
noon on board the Miss Bob White,
which is owned by the Vanamans,
who moved to Bowers Beach re-
Gently from Wilmington. The craft
a 40-foot motorboat, was in charge
of Captain Knowles. Starting on
the return journey of their trip,
the Miss Bob White ran out of gas
and it anchored at what is known
as the Fourteen Foot Bank in the
bay, at about 11.15 Thursday night
Boat Nearly Capsized
Several hours later, the Com
mercial Quaker, a steamer bound
for T'anano ET1o vyac caan ord +ba
members of the Miss Bob White
party signalled frantically for aid.
When the attention OF the steam
er was attracted finally, it came to-
ward the distressed boat. AS the
Commercial Quaker pulled along
side of the Miss Bob White. the
smaller boat was almost capsized
by the current caused by the
steamer. The Commercial Quaker
lowered its ladder and the rescue
work started. The men lifted the
women and children to safety and
then climbed on board the steam
er. The Commercial Quaker sent
a wireless message to the Coast
Guard base at Cape May, N. j.,
telling of the rescue. The steam
er carried the party to the Lewes
Breakwater, leaving them at the
Coast Guard base at Lewes at
about 2.30 A. M. Friday. Coast
Guard cutter 1o3 came over from
Cape May and took the members
of the party to Bowers Beach,
where they arrived at A. M. Fri
day. Mr.. Vanaman said that the
six held no fear at any time dur
ing their experience. They were
confident that they would be able
to attract the attention of a YES
sci when it would pass, he said.
Their boat, he said, was in good
shape and the bay was not very
rough. The Miss Bob White was
towed in Friday morning, Mr.. Van
aman going out to it in the boat
of a neighbor at Bowers Beach.

Juror Wanders Into
Wrong Box; Accepted

Buffalo, n. Y.-The wrong
Juror walked into the wrong
iury box here recently, but he
got the job anyhow.
Loren G. Roth of East Ham,
burg was wandering through
the Supreme court corridors
looking for the jury drawing
part. He had received a
summons for jury duty.
Meanwhile, a juryman was
missing at a $4,000 damage
suit being tried in part eight.
Are you by any chance look
ing for part eight?" asked a
deputy.
Il guess So" said Roth.
He was led to part eight and
seated in the place of the miss
ing juryman. The trial COM
menced. Then after a while
Roth stood up.
Il guess" he said. that I'm
listening to the wrong trial or
something" he explained.
Lawyers went into a huddle
with Justice Hinkley.
1t was decided that Roth was
acceptable to both parties. He
was duly sworn and reseated.
The trial went on.
