Whats the matter?" asked Hen

the Police Dog, had gone with the
rabbit to the woods to see If they
could help find his lost door key.
What happened?"
something fell down out of the
tree and hit me on the head. "
said Mr.. Longears.
1T was the sky" said Henny
Penny. 'The sky has fallen on you
the same as it did on me. Oh! I am
so sorry the sky fell on you"
But the sky didn't fall on you,"
barked the Police Dog. Don't you
know how it goes in the story,
Henny Penny? You told Chickie
Lickie, and Duckie Luckie, and
Goosey Loosie and Turkie Lurkie,
that the sky had fallen on your
poor bald pate, but when they
went with you to the woods to
look it was only an acorn"
Yes agreed Henny Penny, 'it
was only an acorn that fell on
me, but I'm sure it was the sky
that fell on Uncle Wiggily's head"
Lets look and see," suggested
the Police Dog. What did it feel
like, Uncle Wiggily?" he asked the

CRISIS FACED

TRIAL Of GUY
STARTS TODAY

LONG BEACH, Feb. 2. U.P)-
Trial of William James Guy, de-
bonair young adventurer, began to-
day with indication that the state
would rely on circumstantial evi-
dence to convict him of the murder
of Capt. Walter Wanderwell, globe
trotter, aboard the schooner Carma.
Deputy District Attorney Clar-
ence Hunt, who with William Bray
ton, is conducting the states case,
catechized the prospective jurors
on how seriously they regarded
circumstantial evidence, as opposed
to direct evidence.
Wanderwell, preparing for an
other "voyage to nowhere" with a
cooperative crew of men and wom-
en- thrill seekers, was shot down
in his cabin the evening of last
December 5.
A few moments previously, the
face of mysterious stranger had
been seen at a portfolio by three
of the crew, and Cuthbert Wills,
engineer, had conducted him to
Wanderwell's cabin.
The state hopes to prove Guy
was this mysterious stranger. Wills,
Marion Smith, Mary Park and Ed
mund Zoranski Mary Park and Ed
crew, were expected to be star wit
nesses.
The first three identified Guy
during his preliminary hearing
They said it was he who boarded
the yacht the night of the mur-
der, but Zoranski was not sure OF
his identification
Selection of a jury to hear Guys
trial proceeded at an unusually
rapid clip, and it was believed the
panel would be completed today.

TWO BAD MEN


THEY were just a pair of convicts, one
BURGLAR the other a robber. one
Negro, the other white man.
Judged by the standards of society
they were bad men, for they were serv-

not go there unless they have been in
prison before. Armed men watched over
them, ready to shoot if the bad men
made any move contrary to the rules of
the institution.
There was another convict, also bur-
glar and also Negro. He sat summing
himself IN the prison yard. which is also
a quarry. Weakened by incessant rains
portion of the quarry became loosen

on the third convict.
The two bad men saw the predicament
of their companion. 1t was none of their
concern, perhaps, what happened to him.
Like them he was only a convict and if
his life was blOtted out who cared

way. They rushed in to rescue their

A THOUGHT FOR FIRE PREVEN
TION WEEK

Safeguarding against fire offers g
thought that every citizen should
bear in mind, not only during Fire
Prevention Week-October Sth to
14th-bHt afterward: You pay fol
fire insurance even though you never
bought policy in your life.
It's as certain and as inevitable as
that unacceptable pair, death and
taxes. If you. rent an apartment OF
building, the owner has fire insur-
ance and it's cost is reflected in your
rent. Insurance must be included
in the cost of suit, or a can OF
beans, or a theatre ticket. The fac
tory that made your automobile and
the dealer who sold it have insurance
its part of their operating cost,
and must be absorbed by income
from sales.
AS a result, the cutting down of
fire loss is everyone's business. Over
a long period of time every fire is re-
hected in the cost of insurance
every community's insurance rating
is based on the actual experience in
that area. Lowering fire loss won't
reduce the cost of policies this week
or next month-but it will do that
eventually, or prevent increases that
would otherwise be made.
If ever movement deserved un-
animous support, Fire Prevention
Week does. Every kind of civic,
and business, and public organiza-
ton should cooperate. 1t is all done
in the public interest-and the sue
cess or failure of it is put squarely
Up to the individual citizen.

THE SAFE DRIVERS CODE

There Is one badly needed code
which will not have to await an Of
icial signature. 1t affects every
person in the country, and it's adop-
lion should be unanimous 1t is
The Safe Drivers Code.
Accident statistics reported to
June 80, 1888. according to the Ma
,ional Bureau of Casualty and Surety
Underwriters, showed that 1920
persons have been killed by automo-
oiles this year. The indications,
Judging from unofficial reports in
July and August. are that final re-
suits may show decided increase in
leaths and accidents for 1888. This
is doubly significant, because there
Ire nearly 10 per cent fewer auto
mobiles registered in the United
States this year than in 1881.
To motorists, therefore, and to pc
iestrians and all users of our streets
and highways, the following code is
directed:
/. Regulate your speed to fit traf-
ic conditions; keep your car under
control at all times.
2. Slow down for intersections,
traits; ibey traffic signals.
8. Use better judgment in pas
sing, waiting until there is at least
500 feet of clear distance ahead.
4. Pedestrians: Cross at cross
walks; walk on the left side facing
traffic; obey troffic signals.
5. Remember that automobile ac-
cidents constitute an economic waste
sotaling billions, through property
damage, high insurance costs, in
creased taxes, etc.
Every motorist should feel that it
IS his duty and privilege to pledge
himself to this code.

WHEAT PAINTINGS CUT b
OVER 5000. 900 ACRES

A reduction in next years wheat
paintings of more than 5000, 900
acres is assured the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration on the basis
of latest reports of their campaign
to obtain agreements among farmers
to curtail acreage.
These showed that 219.S1S wheat
growers up to September IS had
signed applications for contracts to
join in the voluntary domestic allot-
ment plan, thus agreeing to cut
paintings Is per cent under acreage
harvested for three to five years up
to July 1, 1882, in return for cash
benefits.
The farmers who have signed con-
troll 21,219,694 acres, the admins
tration reported. If the contracts
are finally approved, application of
the 10 per cent reduction TO these
farmers would account for a reduc-
ton of more than $4,000 acres.
