back to the beach. There. out of
drift wood the Polar Bear had made
a round platform. On it were wood
en- horses, camels, elephants, lions,
tigers and a zebra with awning
stripes on his sides.
Fine, hlr. Whitewash! Fine!"
cried Uncle Wiggily when he saw
what the bear had done. But do
you think that will be too heavy
for you to Whirl around, Old Sea
Dog?"
oh, I think not was the bark
ing answer. TRY it,
Uncle Wiggily and Mr.. White
wash lifted the platform with its
wooden animals up on the back OF
the Sea Dog, who was big and
strong. So that the merry-go-round
would not hurt the back Of the
kind dog, Uncle Wiggily made a
cushion of seaweed. AMI when the
whirligig was in place the bear said.
Nov, let's see how it works.
Chase your tall"
At once the Sea Dog began to
chase his tail with the merry-go-
round on his back. And, of course,
as soon as he did this the lions, tig-
ers, elephants and zebraS began to
whirl faster and faster and faster
ITS just fine.' said Mr.. White
wash.
Grand, And it will save me a
lot of money!" spoke Uncle Wig
gily. only there ought to be music
with a merry -go-round.'
I'll go get Mr.. Stubtail, the
brown bear and he can play the
mouth organ" offered Mr.. White
wash
Soon Mr.. Stubtail was playing
Jolly tunes while Sea Dog Whirled
1.-The merry -go-round faster and faS-
, ter.
stop! Stop" all of sudden cried
Uncle Wiggily.
What's the matter?" groWled
Sea Dog, slowing his whirling.
Il want to try the -go-round
myself before l let my bunnies ride
on it," said Uncle Wiggily.
! "All aboard" cried Old Sea Dog,
like a ship captain.
SO the rabbit and the two bears,
with one playing the mouth organ,
sat on an elephant, a lion and d
tiger and once more Sea Dog chas-
ed his tail. They were all having
happy rides when, all at once
something happened. I'll tell you
about it tomorrow night. Then the
story will be Uncle Wiggilys fun
ny fall. But l hope the coffee cake
doesn't try to hide in the teapot in
stead of coming TO breakfast

Political Uncertainties Due to Money Conditions Both
 at Home and Abroad Cause of Uncertainty

New York. Nov 18-A broad view of the present business situ- ation in this country reveals an outlook rather badly clouded by political uncertainties. states the Guaranty Trust Co of New York in it's weekly survey. The recession in business activity from the midsum- 1ner peak continued at a diminish- ing rate through the greater part of September but has given way to Increased stability in the last few weeks. Commodity prices were were sustained until about the middle of october, when sharp re- covery of the dollar in foreign ex- change markets coincided with se- were reactions on security and Commodity exchanges.
 More recently. these trends have again been reversed, apparently in response to the presidents radio address on October 22 and the ini- tfation of the new gold-buying pol icy of the government. Abroad, economic developments are mainly encouraging: but new political diff faculties have arisen with the re- tirement of Germany from the arms conference and the League of Nations and the fall of the French cabinet on the budget issue.
 On the whole the situation hard ly warrants the disappointment and pessimism that seem to exist in some quarters as result of the failure of the recovery pro-

gram to bring about a quick econ omic restoration. The Survey con- tinues. The worst charge that can fairly be brought against the plan thus far is that it has not achieved the impossible. Business recession. complaints of rising costs, labor disturbances, and agrarian unrest are unfortunate: but they do not necessarily prove that the whole scheme is impracticable. Discon- tent is inevitable when a govern ment undertakes to assume respon- sibility for the course of economic affairs, particularly at a time of universal hardship and difficulty. Errors havc undoubtedly been made, but they can be corrected.
 And on the favorable side of the picture is the unquestioned fact that employment and payrolls have been greatly increased and that general business activity, even af- ter the recent setback, shows a large net gain from the low levels of a few months ago. The current estimate of the American Fedora tion of Labor places the reduction in the number of unemployed since last spring at 3:600,000, with l. 100000 of the total reemployed as a direct result of the shorter work ing hours required under the MIRA. A recent report of the federal re- serve board indicates that employ ment has decreased somewhat in the last few weeks.

YELLOWED WILL
 MAY MEAN RICHES
Jobless Machinist Finds Document Among Some
 Old Papers

Lynn, Mass, November IS - (UP) - A jobless machinist hoped today that the facsimile of 130- year-old will, discovered among time-yellowed documents in an an- cient chest at his home, might bring him a share of quarter million-dollar fortune amassed nearly a century and a half ago by a West Indies rum trader.
 In behalf of John. J. Bradshaw,
 50, the unemployed machinist, a lawyer has written to the Ameri- can consul-general on the Island of Jamaica in an effort to ascertain whether the original will is on file there.
 The copy of the will was among
 old papers given to Bradshaw by his father, James, years ago. He recalls that at the time, the elder Bradshaw told him that the doc
 uments would "mean money some
 day"
 The will concerned was that of | Bradshaw,s great uncle, Samuel Smith, and was drawn in 1863. After small bequests, Smith stip-
 ulated that the residue of his es- tate should be held in trust, to be divided among his heirs in Eng land 100 years after his death,
 which occcurred in 1925. Bradshaw, native of England, said he never had heard of the state being divided, and that he
 had engaged the lawyer to ascer- tain whether it was still intact.

New York, Nov 1S-(UP)-Rec- ognition of Soviet Russia gave the stock market a brief squirt at the opening to-day. Prices rose frac- tions to more than points in fair ly active turnover with best gains in stocks whose companies would benefit by recognition. Thereafter volume slackened and prices drift ed to the close which was irreg- ular.
 Best performers were the farm equipments, chemical shares and biscuit issues. Oils lost slightly after several days of advance. Min ing shares regained their equilib- rum and made small gains. Trac- tion stocks and bonds spurted on further 10-cent fare talk. Steels did little more than hold their own. Rails and utilities were mixed.
 The bond market resumed it's re- cent trend. Domestic issues were irregularly lower; U. s. issues de- clined; foreign loans advanced, notably French issues. The dollar moved more narrowly than in re- cent sessions, although it was slightly under the previous close in terms of foreign currencies. The R. F. c. adhered to it's gold price of the previous four days-$33.56- with gold in London at an equiva- lent of $33.61.
 Wheat sagged to lower levels and cotton was steady at small gains. Sugar, rhbber, and silver futures, however, advanced. Bar silver de- clined in the local market.
 Best performers on the stock board were Loose Wiles which made a new high at 43 up 2 points; Allied Chemical which touched 143 up 3; American Can 95A up 1%; Case 74% up 2A; DuPont 86N up 2A; National Biscuit 47% up IS; National Supply 15 B i,

CLUES IN HART
 SHAVING FOUND
Police Get Stones From Bay-One Suspect
 Is Threatened

San Jose, Calf, Nov 1S-UP)- Removal of two concrete blocks from the lower San Francisco bay furnished the first definite clues to-day in the search for the body of Brooke Hart, -22. slain kidnap victim.
 As additional details of the crime became known, threat of mob violence grew in Sar Fran cisco, where Thomas H. Thurmond and J. M. Holmes, who confessed Kidnapping young Hart, were held for safe-keeping.
 They were taken from the city jail to sthe department of justice headquarters for questioning. Holmes was returned without in- cident, but when Thurmond was removed to an automobile, nut tering crowd had gathered.
 Police showed through amid scattered cries of Lynch him."
 The concrete blocks, each weigh ing 22 pounds, were used by the kidnapers to weight the body of their victim, according to their confessions. Authorities prepared indictments on which they hoped to send both to the gallows.
 One of the blocks was bound not. Earlier efforts had recovered torn shirt and shreds of flesh, believed to be from the body of the missing youth.
 In their confessions, Thurmond and Holmes told of taking young Hart, son of a prominent business man, from parking lot here to the middle of the San Mateo- Hayward bridge. They placed a pillow slip over his head, knocked him unconscious, bound him with wire, weighted him with two con- crete blocks, and dropped him into the water.
 In new version given by Holmes, Thurmond allegedly fired | five shots at the youth in the water.
 The possibility that a woman | was involved was discounted, al. ] though Sheriff William Emig ques- | toned Mrs Gertrude Estensen. She
 was said to be a friend of Holmes

 It was reported everywhere that revolt was planned before December 1. Soldiers at the palace were busily sandbagging windows, constructing barricades at en- frances and adding to the arsenal of machine guns and one-pounder cannon on the roof. Military teles- copes were erected for use in spot ting aircraft.

 President Ramon Grau San Mar tin was silent on reports that he had formally requested Welles's re- call.
 Grau said normal conditions had been restored throughout the country and Cuba was strongly de- sirous of resuming normal rela- tions with other countries. He fol- lowed with comment which some believed significant in view of charges made by government sup porters that Welles had plotted with opponents of the government.
 Sadness invades our hearts" Grau said, "when we think there might still exist Cuban elements which in collision with foreigners plot against the standards of na- tionalism and administrative hon. esty which underlay our admin istration."

FOLLOWER EXPENSE
 IN WELFARE DEPT
The Employment Plan Will Cut Cost By One=
 Half

The city of Waterbury, welfare list, maintained through the de- partment of public welfare, will be cut in half by the public works program of the CWA, said William Downey. head of the welfare de- Eartment, this morning. More than 125 men will be transferred to the Civil Works payroll and removed from the city list.
 It will be necessary to continue maintenance of about 125 families, who will still be without other means of support. Most of these families are headed by men who are aged or not in good health, and hence would be unable to work in the new porjects.
 All the men will be transferred from the city list as soon as pos sible, most of them having been already ordered to report to Will liam M. Harris for assignments to work.
 These 125 men. together with the 60 to be absorbed from the Mutual Aid, will remove from city welfare lists close to 750 men. Oth- CT social agencies are also expected to name men for the new jobs, de- creasing further the number of those needing relief.
