UNCLE WIGGILY'S MAPLE

the woods at the sugar camp that

But that's what happened, as l
told you in the story last night. Un-
Gle Wiggily had taken the children
and their teacher to the woods to
show them how, by boiling 1t over
a camp fire, he could turn the thin
white sap, or juice from maple
trees into thick wax by cooling it
on the snow. He had just lifted up
a COB of wax when the voice groWl-
ed from the bushes.
What was that?" squeaked
Nurse Jane who, with Mrs. Long
ears had come to the sugar camp

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
THE DESERT CALLS

DECENT publicity given in all valley
~ papers regarding the splendid display
of flowers on the desert, should be the
incentive for another large exodus to
the outlying sections of the valley tomor-
row.
1t is statement difficult to believe,
but there are many who have lived for
long periods in the valley without being
any more familiar with its desert areas
than they are with Patagonia or Tim
buctoo. They are content to remain in
the well settled areas and to move along
we'll travelled paths, with never a thought
OF getting out in the great open spaces.
There is world full of interest on the
desert, particularly for the city man and
Tor those who spent the early portions
of their lives in more settled commun-
tiles. And there is little or no risk at
tached to desert visits, if the visitor will
just use little common sense. AS most
trips are made by car. it would be we'll
TO know that the car is in good condi-
tion before a journey is attempted, for
garages are few and far between on the
desert. Safety is best assured by hav-
ing several cars make up party. In
this way aid can be speedily obtained if
1t becomes necessary.
The novelty of spending complete
day out in the open is tonic that sweeps
the cobwebs of the work week from the
brain and puts the individual in better
condition for his tasks, mentally and
physically.
Quite recently the presence of precious
stones on the desert has become more
widely known. This fact, as we'll as the
presence of the flowers, should be the
inspiration for numerous desert parties.
Perhaps it will be stronger incentive
than desire to see the desert in bloom.
Even though no precious stones may
be found on such trips, they are we'll
worth the effort involved and if those
making them have any imagination at
all, they will feel we'll repaid though
they garner nothing more than a hand
full of pebbles.

COB of sweet, sticky maple wax he
snatched from Uncle Wiggily.
"Bing! Bang!" And then, all of a
sudden, a queer look came over the
face of that Bear For, though he
closed his teeth on the wax, he
couldn't open them again. No, as
true as I'm telling you, the Bears
mouth was held tightly shut when
he bit into that soft and sticky
wax.
Cub! Wub Slubl Dub" he
gurgled, but he couldn't speak, for
he couldn't get his jaws open to
talk.
And if he can't talk he can't
bite!" laughed Uncle Wiggily, who
knew what was going to happen
when he gave the Bear the wax.
I'VE have nothing to fear from this
Bad Chap now" said the rabbit,
"Pelt him with sticks and stones
and. drive him back to his den."
So the animal children hit the
Bear with sticks and stones and
SO did Nurse Jane, Mrs. Longears
and the Lady Mouse Teacher. And
away the Bad Chap ran, trying to
open his jaws but he couldn't. And
it was two days before the wax in
his mouth melted enough SO he
could bite.
Nov let this be lesson to you,
my dears," said Uncle Wiggily to
the children. When I give you
some maple wax don't bite your
teeth into it. just suck it in your
mouth until it melts." So they did
this and had no trouble, but lot
of jolly fun.
But what about maple sugar, F"
asked Buster.
Pm going TO make that now, ="
said Uncle Wiggily after they had
all eaten enough wax. Il must boil
the sap longer to make sugar So
wood was piled high on the blaz-
ing fire and the sap in the pot boil
ed and bubbled. Soon it was ready
to be poured into creased pans and
set in the snow TO cool. And in
little while it had turned into
sweet, hard brown maple sugar and
the animal childrea nibbled it as
they danced around the woodland
camp singing songs, playing games
and having a wonderful time just
as If it were party.
I'm glad the old Bear isn't
here!" said Jingle.
80 am T. said Jangle as she bit
off another piece of maple sugar.
And if the gold fish will stop flip
ping water from its tail in the face
of the clock when the hands are
turning around, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily looking for
Spring. And 1 hope he finds her.

PROFESSOR TELLS AUDIENCE
CHANGES CAUSE OF PROGRESS

that followed a great many groups
migrated from the original locali-
ty, and one of these groups became
known as Poles; another group, in
turn, became the Jugo-Slavs; and
a third group became the one we
now know as the Czechs. These
groups all go back to a common
language
Professor Richardson recently
returned from trip abroad, where
he made a detailed study of the
early Mediterranean civilizations.
He spoke at some length about
Crete and Greece and the colonies
around that region about 1000 B. G.
1t was the lecturers opinion, as a
result of his studies in Europe, that
the history of the world has been
largely shaped by forces that went
out from the chief ancient cities;
namely, Jerusalem, Athens, Con-
stantinople, and Rome.
The lecturer stated that another
source of our knowledge of the an
tions and the findings of the an
thropologists and archeologists. He
said. "Once man went excavating
much in the manner of a dog dig
ging a hole; now we have learned
the "onion skin" method of exca-
waiting, taking off a layer or SO at
time. Each time layer is taken
off, we photograph it; also every
bit of the soil is sifted. Using this
method, the objects excavated from
each of the successive layers are
kept separate, SO that we may
know which period they came from.
The soil of Europe has been occu-
pied by many peoples for thous-
ands upon thousands of years. In
Europe it is possible to go through
almost any plot of level ground,
excavate it, and find traces of hui
man occupation. In America the
soil has only been inhabited for a
comparatively short time. European
and Asiatic excavation, therefore,
is of course much richer than that
found here"
Professor Richardson is OF the
belief that the life of the indiyid-
ual is not unlike that of the race.
He said, in this regard. I'VE know
the world undergoes ceaseless
change, and for that reason we
should not drift with the current
of society, but rather be on the
alert to find out the meaning of
what is happening around us and
thereby assess the value of what
we are doing. Thus, by continual
learning we cope with change and
keep from being left behind"

to make of property found beside
railroad tracks.
Switzerland, when the Negro Of

LAS we look at the broad sweep
of human history, we see that it is
change that allows for progress. In
regard to the present economic un-
rest, we should always remember
that the world undergoes ceaseless
change. We should, for that reason,
be on the alert to find out the
meaning of what is happening
around us and make use of change
for betterment rather than deter
ioration. Intelligence is the only
thing that will help us find way
out"
Such was the optimistic note in
the address of Professor Leon j.
Richardson, professor of Latin and
director of the University of Cali
fornia extension division, in his
public talk last night in the audi
torium of the Wilson school. Pro-
fessor Richardson's appearance
here was under the auspices of the
Imperial county chapter of the Cal
ifornia Alumni association, with DR..
r. c. Clemons as chairman of ar
rangements. The lecturer chose as
his subject, 1.-The Adventurous
Race" AS subtopic, he discussed
what a civilized people does, whe-
ther in ancient or in modern times,
in the face of crisis.
Professor Richardson stated that
our knowledge of man is now deep
er, more exact, and wider than it
has ever been. He said, in part, I'VE
know now more about primitive
man than we did even so years ago.
We know now more as to our pos
sible origins. Old beliefs are being
overthrown, or, in some cases, they
are being confirmed. Much of the
exact knowledge we are finding is
derived from a study of the Greek,
Latin and Sanscrit languages as
well as the old Egyptian inscrip-
tions. Yearly they are giving us a
richer and more detailed history
than we have had hitherto. We
have also made successful study
of human speech, and we have a
clearer idea of how languages be-
gin and develop.
Much is now known about the
Indo- European languages. They &C
back to one locality. The people in
that locality used the language
which is the mother Of all Indo-
European languages. This was
about 1000 B. c. when this racial
group lived in one locality. In about
1000 B. C. great many descend
ants of that language group migrat-
ed and a number of different
speeches resulted. A good example
of one language groups develop
ment is afforded by the language
of the Russians. This language is
called Slavic.> In 500 B. c. there
was only one Slavic language in
Russia. In the one thousand years
