UNCLE WIGGILY'S YELLOW
BOWL

Uncle Wiggily was twinkling his
pink nose and wondering. He was
wondering what he could use to
make a bath for the robin birds.
AS I told you in the story last night
the rabbit gentleman saw mother
robin and her little birds bathing
in some water left by the rain in
hollow stump.
But this water was all Splattered
away before more than half the
robins had had their bath. So
Uncle Wiggily had promised to
make them a better bird bath and
to bring water to fill it. He was
on his way now, back to his bunga-
low to do this.
Il suppose I could take an old
tin can and fill that with WATER
said the rabbit gentleman to him.

would be bird bath but not a
very stylish one. l think bird
bath should be pretty and artistic,

like that. The old stump where tie

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. Alice
Roosevelt Longworth had a bigger
hand than is generally known in
bringing her brother, Gov. Theodore
Roosevelt, back from the Philippines
to campaign for the Republican
national ticket. Pressed to return,
young Roosevelt objected that island
affairs demanded him. Alice was
quietly appealed to. Shortly there
after it was learned that Roosevelt
probably would return.
Roosevelt now plans to sail Sep
tember IA and TO return just after
election. He cabled a statement
here that circumstances have made

Filipino newspapers have been
indignant over rumors that young
Roosevelt was TO be recalled TO the
United States for campaign work.

Philippines of a most needed lead

GERMANY TAKES
FIFTH PLACE In
ship BUILDING

HAMBURG, Aug. 81. W.P)-Like
most other industries, German
shipyards are employed far below
their actual productive capacity,
Compared with an estimated total
capacity of 100000 long tons orders
at German shipyards July l,
amounted to but 100000 tons. The
amount under construction ac-
cords Germany fifth place in pres
ent world ship building, with Great
Britain heading the list followed
by Italy, the United States and
France. This ranking, however,
may have TO be slightly revised
| when figures for construction in
Russia are available.
/ At present II vessels are under
construction in German shipyards.
Many of the already have been
| launched and now are being equip
ped and completed. The bulk of
vessels being built are tank steam

1890 and 1881. Two 12,000-ton mo-
tor vessels are being constructed for
the Hamburg America line, while
other orders, especially for smaller
craft, have been placed by the
Soviets. Like the orders of the
Standard Oil, these were placed II
or Is months ago. During the last
three months, no new orders have
been received
The lack of new orders is es-
pecially unfortunate for the yards

ated in or near larger ports are
better off. They can exc out some
sort of existence by repair and
oismantling work, although, with
prices at their present low level,
they are making little profit.
Despite these precarious condi-
tions, German shipyards have hith-
erto been weathering the storm
surprisingly we'll. There have been
no direct insolvencies. The reason
for this is that German shipyards
in general, are extremely well
founded. A few of them were
even able to close the business year
of 1881 with a small profit.

hollow of the old stump. Mr.. Long
ears poured water in the bowl and
then the little robins took turns
having a bath. The rabbit watched
them, laughing and twinkling his
pink nose and pouring in more
water from the tin pail as fast as
it was splashed out of the yellow
bowl by the robin birds, who de-
| lighted in scattering the drops all
around like rain.
This is very kind of you," said
the robin mother to the rabbit. u

Where did you get it?"

have bird bath, Mrs. Robin. Now
1 guess I'd better hop home. My
wife may want me to go to the
store"
! When Uncle Wlggily neared his
bungalow he heard much talking
inside the hollow stump. He heard
his wife say:
| But jamie, where can it have
gone? left it right here on the
table by the lettuce"
Il didn't take it, Mrs. Longears, y
said Nurse Jane.
But who did?' asked the rabbit
lady.

exclaimed his wife. II am going to
have company. You gave me some
lettuce for a salad I was going
to mix it in my lovely yellow bowl
but when I left the kitchen for a
moment and came back my bow
was gone. Oh, who took it?"
II took it to make bird bath,
said Uncle Wiggily, who alway,
told the truth. II didn't know il

now but I'll go take it away from
the robins"

but the water, I think, must have
leaked away down inside the old,
rotten, hollow stump. I must get
them something that will hold
the water better"
Thus thinking, Uncle Wiggily
hoped into the kitchen of his
bungalow where, a short time be-
fore, he had left some heads OF
lettuce from his garden. His wife
had asked him TO bring them in
The lettuce was still on the table
and nearby was a large yellow
bowl.
"Oh ho!' exclaimed the rabbit
gentleman. "That yellow bowl viii
be just what I want for the biro
bath. I'll take it back to the woods

il with water and the mother robin
and her little children can splash
as much as they please"
No sooner said than donel Tuck

WHAT PRICE, GLORY?

ok years ago this fall, any American
youngster would gladly have wished
himself in the place of Grover Cleveland
Alexander and many Americans who
were not youngsters, but were men of
affairs, would gladly have done the same.
For Alexander was a national hero.
Not as great perhaps as Colonel Lind
bergh, who had not as yet achieved his
fame, became, but a hero nevertheless.
"Old Pete, as he was known, had been
a big league pitcher and good one, for
years. He travelled around the country
in the finest of trains, lived in the finest
hotels, had big salary, and didn't have
to do a great deal of work, and when
ever he did work, thousands of his fell
low citizens eheered his every move.
That fall, six years ago. he rose to the
heights In the annual worlds series,
his st. Louis team had the champion
ship within grasp and was just about to
lose it. The last game of the series came
and the end of the game was in sight.
1t looked like defeat for st. Louis as the
New York Yankees suddenly staged
batting rally.
The st. Louis pitchers all had fallen
down on the job The winning runs for
the Yankees were on base and LaZerrl,
q good hitter was at bat. "Old Pete,
who had done his share of the pitching
in earlier games, was called to the box.
He slouched in and in the words of base
ball, he stood Lazerri on his ear, wal
loped the Yankees, won the champion
ship for his team and also the plaudits
of millions of Americans.
The world, for a few days, was his
oyster.
Today "Old Pete" is a member of an
organization travelling around the coun-
try playing baseball here and there.
Gone are the fine trains, the excellent
hotels and the big salary. His name no
longer appears in headlines in papers
throughout the country. His wonderful
pitching feats are just memory. Old
Pete" carries on, but in sense "Old
Pete" is no more.
Someone has said that fame Is fleet
ing as the wind and glory fades away
1t is true. "Old Pete" is proof OF 1t.
Few would want to swap places with HIM
today.
Why wonder about this present humid
ity-this is the last week before the prl-
mary and politicians just must talk.
Because Helen Moody was not IN the
tournament, Helen Jacobs title strikes

GETTING BETTER

I may be that the mysterious corner"
which has been so hard to get around
Tor the past few years is really ap-
preaching the turning point.
Certain it is that better feeling
seems to be gaining strength through
out the country in all lines.
Whether the credit is to be given to
the Republican party, the Democratic
threat of victory, to the Amalgamated
Apple Pickers or to the Independent Or
der of Nut Crackers, matters but little.
The only thing that really counts is that
times seem to be getting better.
Commodity prices are reported to be
showing an increase, there is more buy
ing being done and recently the motion
picture news reels and newspapers have
told of industries being reopened after
being in idleness for many months.
These things are far more important
than the increase in the price of stocks,
though the Importance of this latter is
not to be ignored. 1t is regrettable that
the country's prosperity should be so de-
pendent upon the activity of Wall street,
but the fact remains that it is. We
have allowed a practice that amounts to
little more than gambling to be the
barometer by which we judge whether
business is good or bad.
When Wall street says down or
goes down without saying it-audibly-
business goes down and when. it says
up, the reverse is true.
Nobody should fool himself that we
are out of the woods as yet. There is
still plenty to be done before normally
(almost the forgotten word'o returns.
But it is equally foolish to deny that
things looks better.
And whether anyone likes to admit it
or not the fact remains that the help
given to business by the government is
having tremendous Influence on the up
turn.
The thing cannot be hurried. We can
come down hill with rush but the climb
back must Of necessity be slow. But be-
cause it must be slow does not prove that
it cannot be done.

BONUS TRAN COST
Will Consider Later What Agency
VIII Be Asked to Make
Reimbursement.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad fur
nished three special trains for the
movement on bonus merchers from
Johnstown. Pa, without any idea of
where reimbursement would come from.
but because. from a humanitarian"
standpoint. immediate action was nee
essary, it was said yesterday at the
general Offices in Baltimore.
This statement disposed Of various
rumors as to the source of the trans
portation given about 1900 members
of the army" who were moved West
from their briefly tenanted camp in
PENNSYLVANIA.
Under the Interstate Commerce act,
the railroad had the right to make its
facilities available to INDECENT, desti-
tutc and homeless" persons. and it
was said the trains were furnished on
this basis at the instance of Johns
town authorities.
A check was made of each person
moved, the bonus marchers being taken
as far West as Chicago. st. Louis and
Cincinnati, as we'll as intermediate
points, and the management of the
road will consider later what agency
will be asked to care for the cost.
Presumably, Federal or State gov
ernments would be asked to reimburse
the railroad, but it was said on behalf
of the B. & o. that no thought had
been given this matter.
At any rate, it was said, the railroad
would get no more than the actual
expense incurred by running the trains,
as the maximum rate collected would
only be l cent mile-the same rate
at which the bonus army moved out
of Washington while transportation
was being urnished-instead of the
statutory rate of 3l2 cents.
