I guess I'll make a willow whistle" ="
For, as he was hopping about,
glad that the lovely springtime had
come, all of a sudden Uncle Wig
zily really did sit down on a sharp
thistle plant, which stung his leg.
But what do you mean about
3oing to make a willow whistler"
asked a voice as Uncle Wiggily
carefully pulled himself up off the
thistle weed. The rabbit gentleman
looked around and there stood
Peetie Bow Wow, the puppy dog
boy.
"Oh, hello, Peetie!" exclaimed
Mr.. Longears. 80 you heard what
was singing, did you?"
"Yes, and I saw you fall down,
Uncle Wiggily," softly barked the
puppy. Il hope you didn't hurt
yourself"
No, thank you, not much" was
the answer. "At this time of year,
I mean the spring, the thistle's
thorns are rather soft and tender
I'm glad l didn't sit on it in the
fall when the spikes are hard and
stiff. And speaking of spring, the
willow trees are also soft and
tender now, just right for making
whistles aAM
Are you going to make viii
low whistler" asked Peetie.
7 am" answered the rabbit gen.
tleman. II am SO happy that 1
want not only to sing Tor spring,
but also to whistle"
May I come with you and watch
you make the whistler" asked the
puppy dog boy.
You may. I shall be glad to
have you" answered the rabbit.
Hop along with me-
So the two friends went together
to the bank of the brook where
the willow trees grow, gracefully
bending over to drink the spark
ling, sunny water. Peetie didn't
exactly hop, for that isn't the way
puppies go. But he trotted along
beside Uncle Wiggily and soon the
rabbit gentleman was gnawing off
a willow branch TO make the
whistle.
When the willow stick was the
right size, about five inches long,
Uncle Wiggily gently pounded the
bark to loosen it so it would slip
off the stick without cracking.
Then the rabbit gnawed holes in
the stick, one hole to blow in and
the other hole for the whistle
noise to come out and there it

25 per cent on individual tickets

WASHINGTON, May 81. - The

Burning Tree country club have
evolved a new gane-roodle and
whamdoodle.
A roodle is achieved by holding

UNCLE WIGGILY'S WHISTLE

Uncle Wiggily was skipping and
hopping about in the woods. He
was twiddling his ears, his pink
nose was brightly twinkling and,
more than that, the rabbit gentle
man was singing. He was not
what you would call a wonderful or
sweet singer, but he was loud
And Uncle Wiggily sang:
"Oh, Pm so glad that this is spring,
And that is why gladly sing. =

FOR AND AGAINST MOTORISTS

WITH the close of school at hand, it
w seems timely to voice the annual
warning to motorists that care should
be used in driving through the city
streets, certain to be used more frequent
ly by children.
The youngsters, limited in their means
for amusement, are almost sure to take
to the streets frequently, and the burden
of guarding them from injury lies prin-
cipally with the motorist
This city has been extremely FORUM
ate in having few accidents involving
children, and a little extra care on the
part of drivers will keep up this record.
With the warning to motorists, how
ever, goes another to parents who con-
tinue to let their youngsters ride bicycles
about the city at night minus the lights
which are a protection TO the bicycle
rider and to the motorist.
Almost any evening youngsters can
be seen riding their bicycles without
lights in direct violation of the law.
True this infraction may be considered
a minor one, but its possibilities for trag-
edy are so apparent that It would seem
almost needless to comment on them.
A little action by the police in this
connection would not be amiss. Nor
would it hurt to pick up a few motor
lists who must use highway speed on
city streets. This too, is common in
fraction. There is no need for it and
no excuse, unless the driver confronts a
real emergency. Few of them can offer
such a reason.
There is no need for speed on city
streets. One traffic officer cannot be
everywhere but a few arrests and stiff
fines for speeding might help to cut
down the nuisance.

'H|NKY DINKY
LOOP OPENS
SUNDAY
BY SID KATZNELL

Northeast's faireSt flowers
(adorable girls) will be onlookers
when raven-locked Hen" Sappey.
debonair president of the "Hinky
Dinky" Baseball League, toSseS
out the first ball inaugurating
the fifth annual season of the
circuit Sunday morning at II
o'clock in the Ma aury Schoolyard.
The loop is probably the most
unusual diamond league in the
District. 1t has four teams, each
composed of four players,
pitcher, first baseman, shortStop
and third baseman. There is no
catcher, outfielders or second
baseman.
Complicated Game
This sounds like strange game,
but here's how they play. They
use a small rubber ball and a
diminutive flat piece of board
about AZ inches wide and
about IA inches long.
The game is complicated to
most spectators at first but, after
witnessing a few innings, they
gradually "catch on" The
pitcher covers home plate when
ever a runner attempts to score
on a hit, error, etc. The pitch
er's box Is a short distance from
home. When the batter fails to
hit pitched ball, the side al
bat returns the ball to the
hurler.
Strange Rules Indeed
Several more important rules
also will amaze you. The runner
must stay on the base until the
ball is hit or he is declared out.
Which means you can't steal. A
batted ball passing through the
wired fence is good for two bases
but should it clear the fence on
a fly, the batter is out, on
the other hand if the ball strikes
on top of the fence, it is home
run.
The Maury field is the ideal
place to play this peculiar game
as it is short in length and long
in width.
Go ouy Sunday and enjoy these
"Hinky Dinky" players in their
uniq'' game.
