BEDTIME STORIES
By HOWARD E. GARRIS

I am in a hurry to get back to her
now for she needs to be amused" !"
mo! You can't go until you have
shown me the music top!" mewed
the nosey cat standing across the
path so Uncle Wiggily couldn't
hop. You must show me the top
or else I'll scratch you"
Well, the rabbit gentleman didn't
want to be scratched, of course,
so he took the music top out OF
his pocket and unwrapped the pa
per the store dog had placed
around it.
"Oh, what a pretty top!" mewed
the nosey cat. II want It'll"
mo, it is for Baby Bunty," said
Uncle Wiggily.
Then you must spin it and let
me hear the music!" mewed the
cat.
"All right answered Uncle
Wiggily. "I'll do that, but when the
top is spinning you must not touch
it with your tall
Can I touch 1t with my paw?"
asked the cat.
mo, you can't touch it with your
paw" answered the rabbit.
May I touch 1t with my nose?"
the cat inquired.
mo! No! Not even with your
nosel" said the rabbit.
"Why?" asked the cat. But Un-
Gle Wiggily was tired of answering
questions. so he wound the string
around the top, pulled it and set 1t
spinning on the path. AS the top
spun it made sweet music and the
cat, who was very fond of music,
went closer, closer and closer.
Don't touch the top!" warned
Mr. Longears. Don't touch it with
your tail, your paw or your nose. "
I'm only going to touch it with
my whiskers,' rnewed the cat. who
was very curious and nosey. But no
sooner did her whiskers touch the
fast spinning top than they curled
around it, tangled all up and out
they we're pulled Yes, every one
of the nosey cats whiskers was
pulled out by the fast spinning
music top. Then the nosey
cat gave a loud howl and ran
away without scratching the rab-
bit, who took the top to Bunty.
"Oh, how lovely!" said the little
orphan rabbit as she saw it spin
and head the music it made. Nov
I am happy" She didn't touch the
top and soon she was all better OF
her cold and could spin the top
herself.
And now, if the rocking chair
will stop standing on it's hind legs
so the cushion slides off and tickles
the radio. I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily's sled.

how me or III scratch you

is spinning fast" warned the store
She will get her paw skinned"
III tell her. said Uncle Wiggily.
So he hoped home with the top,
hoping to find Baby Bunty no
worse when he reached his bum
galow. Over the fields and through
the woods hoped the rabbit gen
tleman, up hill and down hill and
he was feeling of the top in his
pocket to make sure he hadn't lost
it when, all of sudden, he heard
a mewing sound in the bushes.
"Oh, I hope that isn't the Bob
Cat" said the rabbit.
mo, I'm not the Bob Cat, for l
have very long tail and not one
that is bobbed Short said a new
ing voice. But who are you and
where are you going?" asked the
cat and she came out of the bushes.
She was a big yellow cat.
Il am Uncle Wiggily and I am
going home" said the rabbit.
why are you going home?" ask
ed the cat.
ITO take something to Baby
Bunty to amuse her when she is
ill., said Mr. Longears.
"Why is she ill?" the cat wanted
TO know.
"She has a cold" said Uncle
Wiggily, thinking that the cat
could ask as many questions as the
Winter Bug. She has to stay in
bed so she can't run around to
play games and 1 am taking her
toy"
What toy?" mewed the cat.
"A music top" replied Mr.. Long
ears.
ooh, let me see it, I love musicl"
mewed the cat, reaching out her
pink nose and trying to smell in
Uncle Wiggilys pockets to see in
which one the top was. Oh, she
was a very 1osey cat.
II haven't time To show you Baby
Bunty's top said Uncle Wiggily
Il Will lot you see It another time.

WASHINGTON. Feb. ia cou-

ed that all oleomargerine sold in
that state be colored a brilliant

housewife would want to serve
green oleo - thereby saving the
states butter industry for the dairy
farmers. The bill didn't pass, and
well it didn't because it appears as
though green colored foods will be
the most desirable Of all in the

CHAMPION FORGETTER

hBlLITY to forget is frequently de-
"A slrable accomplishment, but it seems
to be particularly desirable as far as
Jack G. Kuhrts, young broker being quiz
zed by the state senate investigating
committee is CONCERNED.
Kuhrts is one of two brokers who were
needed to sell plot of land to the state
to be used as a hospital site. 1t needed
two brokers because there was S20,250
in it for each of them.
In trying to trace disposition of the
S20250 which Kuhrts received, in the be-
lief that some of it went to state Off
cials, the senate committee is encounter
ing a serious obstacle in Kuhrts' con-
venient or inconvenient ability to forget.
The senate is particularly anxious to
find out about $4,000 of Kuhrts' fee.
He carried it around on his person for
several days, he told the committee, be-
cause of marital difficulties with his
wife and to prevent her from getting
any part of it.
He could remember of spending $1,000
of this $4,000, but he became
badly mixed up in accounting for the
balance of $500. He claimed to have
put $4,000 in bank deposit on one day,
and $1,000 in two other accounts on an
other day.
When bank officials were called to
check up on his statements, particularly
as to the time of the deposits, Kuhrts
was unable to recall what time he got
up in the morning, what time he went
to the bank, where and when he ate lunch
or whether he went to his office at all
on the day in question.
A man might get mixed up as to the
time of visits to his bank, he might even
forget what time he got up in the morn
ing, but it is difficult to agree that he
would forget whether or not he ate or
what he ate if he did eat. Eating is such
a personal affair.
The committee overlooked one point
on which it might have questioned Mr..
Kuhrts. 1t might have tried to find out
whether or not he dressed on the day
in question. But perhaps this would do
no good. A man who can't remember
whether or not he ate probably wouldn't
know whether he had gone around the
streets covered with raccoon coat or
adorned merely with a smile and a cloak
of innocence.

The general was attending a

a long and impassioned speech in
favor of giving the soldiers what

DANGEROUS GROUND

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS report on
the Manchurian situation places
blame for invasion of that territory up
on Japan and condemns Japans state
ment that it acted in self-defense as un-
true.
Further, the report advocated that the
"puppet state of Manchukuo, establish
ed in Manchuria under the protection OF
Japan, be swept away and urged that the
United States and Russia act with the
league in establishing an autonomous
state of Manchuria under the sovereign
ty of China.
Japan's answer to the report has al
ready been given in its decision to with
draw from the league. It will go fur
ther than that, Toxic statements declare,
by proceeding with its program in Man.
churia and Jehol, and will ignore the
league completely by continuing Jap
anese mandate over islands in Pacific
awarded to Japan by the league after
the World war.
Japan seems to know exactly what it
wants to do and appears determined to
do it.
The part of the report that will be
most interesting to Americans is the
suggestion that the United States act
with Russia in helping create an auto
nomous state of Manchuria. If that
suggestion means limitation to diploma
tic discussion, it might be acceptable to the
United States. There is great chance,
however, that it would lead to something
more strenuous than diplomatic discus
sion.
The set-up looks entirely too danger
Gus for the United States We may not
approve of Japan's course any more than
the league does, but we are not members
of the league, we are not guardians OF
China and we are not the enemy of Ja-
pan. True we are connected by
trade with China, but we are also con-
nected similarly with Japan. We have
no wish to see either nation injured but
what they do between themselves is
none of our business.
We might, with propriety, extend our
good offices to help straighten out the
situation in the far east, as we did be-
tween Russia and Japan, but beyond that
is the danger mark.
If our diplomats are at all conversant
with the wishes of the great maj jority of
the American people they will tactfully
sidestep the leagues suggestion.
