gily Il shall be glad to parade
with you because tomorrow is Sat-
urday when there is no school, But
we need music for parade. What
about muSic?"

grunted Curly, taking one from his
pocket and playing on it, I mean
he played on the mouth organ and
not on his pocket.
And I have this Christmas
horn!" grunted Floppy as he toot-
ed on tin one. But we need a
drum in the parade"
"Ha! I'll beat the drum" cried
Uncle Wiggily. I'll use this for my
drum" He picked up Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy's kitchen dishpan, tied
string on one handle so he could
hang the dishpan drum around his
neck and then with a knife and
fork for drum sticks, the bunny
gentleman was ready to join in
the parade.
Forward march!' grunted Cur
/ ly as he played "Whee! Wham!
Whum!" on the mouth organ.
"On with the parade" gunted
Curly as he blew "Toot! Toot!
Toot!' on the horn. And Uncle
Wiggily shouted:
"Hurray for Saturday when
there's no SCHOOL," and he banged
on the dishpan drum: Rub a Dub
Dub! Rub Dub Dub Rub a
Dub Dub!"
Over the fields and through the
woods the paraders marched hav-
ing a jolly good time until they
reached the top of the hill. There
they played, footed and drummed
until they awakened the Fuzzy Fox
who was asleep under a bush.
Here! Who's making all that
noise?" growled the Fox, angry at
having been awakened from his
sleep. who's doing It'll"
I'VE are said Curly, politely.
We're having a parade because
tomorrow is Saturday"
well, To-Day Is FRIDAY ana l don't
let any one have parades on Fri
day. howled the Fox. With that
he jumped out of the bush and
ran toward the three friends. Cur
ly played his mouth organ but that
didn't stop the Fox Floppy toot-
ed his horn but that didn't stop the
Fox. And then Uncle Wiggily beat
his drum and banged the tin dish
pan on the nose of the Fox and
that stopped the Bad Chap, knock
ing him into a snow bank where
he is stuck yet if he hasn't got
ten out. Then the parade went on
and everybody had jolly time.
So if the doorknob doesn't turn
around SO fast that it makes the
key-hole dizzy. I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily's funny sled.

Mr.. Minister, I've always ad-
mired you plenty, sir. And now I
wonder if you would give me your
autograph?"
The minister supplied the auto
graph-and so Eddie was enabled
to return to the state department
the receipt with the minister's sig
nature attached thereto.
Only recently Eddie averted what
might have been diplomatic ca
tastrophe.
The japanese minister was call
ing at the state department, and
had left his hat and coat in the
diplomatic reception room. All was
peaceful until Eddie spied the
Chinese minister coming up the
hall.
What to do? What to do?
Eddie thought for a moment,
then scurried into the reception
hall, retrieved the japanese haber-
dashery, and saved the day. When
the Japanese minister appeared,
Eddie was there to hand him his
hat, and bid him speedy god speed
When the Chinese minister en-
tered the reception room, thanks
to Eddie, the Japanese minister
had vanished.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-What

those problems the incoming DEM
ocratic administration must settle
Eddie is Edward Augustine Sa-
yoy, the 75-year-old Negro messen-
ger 'boy", who has been receiving
the hats and stick of diplomats at
the state department for the last
half century.
He was retired two years ago be-
cause of his advanced age. but
Eddie wouldn't quit. So Secretary
of State Stimson has been pay
ing Eddie's salary out of his own
pocket, to the disgust of the other
Negro messengers, who see no sign
of promotion so long as Eddie is on
the job.
Eddie knows more diplomats, per-
haps, than any other living man.
And in the course of his duties,
which began when Hamilton Fish
was secretary of state, Eddie has
learned to be something of a dip
lomat himself. A couple of exam
pies:
When Sackville-West who was
British minister several years ago,
returned to England, it was Eddie's
duty to deliver him his passport and
obtain receipt for it,
Eddie realized that it wasn't
good form to be asking British am
bassadors for receipts.
So Eddie handed the minister
his passport; then pulled piece of

told them they could NOT come

But when he looked this time he
saw only Curly and Floppy Twisty-

the steps.
"Oh, hello, Curly and Floppyl"
greeted Uncle Wiggily as he open

gentleman quickly. rs your father

Nothing like that!" said Curley
with a grunting laugh. Mother
and dad are just fine. But we want
you to come with us just the same. y
But why?p asked Uncle Wig
gily. Where are you going?"
I'VE are going to have a parade, "
grunted Floppy, and it takes three
to make a parade. So we need you.
Why are you going to have a
parade?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
This isn't Decoration Day or
Fourth of July or Labor Day or
Christmas or anything like that, is
it?"
"Oh, no!" said Curly, But we
thought we'd like to have par

One Friday afternoon when the
Lady Mouse Teacher in the Hollow
Stump School had sent the animal
boys and girls home early because
they had been so good, Uncle Wig

mind. Don't come in until take

thought, his heart going pitter

just think! 1t might be some OF
the Bad Chaps knocking at my kit

NEW BLOOD NEEDED

ONE HUNDRED and seventy-two con-
~ gressmen and senators today drew
their last checks from the nation. at
least for a time, and are sent back from
whence they came, some recently some
years ago.
They are the lame ducks. those who
were defeated for reelection last Nov
ember, but who, under the laws of the
country, maintained their office until
congress automatically expired on March
4.
Among them are names which have
been foremost in the legislative halls of
the country for years - Smoot of Utah,
Watson of Indiana, Moses of New Hamp-
shire, to name few of them.
In their time these men and others
who accompany them into the discard,
were ali powerful. Today they are shorn
OF their power and while they may, and
doubtless will, remain influential in po-
lltlcal circles, most of them are old men.
who will not be able to stage a come
back, insofar as returning to Washing
ton is concerned.
1he majority of them are Republicans.
which ought to be sufficient tip-off for
the leaders Of the Republican party. II
Is time for seeking out and using new
blood if the party is to be restored to its
greatest efficiency. 1t is no longer suf-
flcient to feel that the mere stamp of
the 6. o. P. is indicative of success at the
polls.
There is much constructive work to he
done if the Republican party is to be a
vital factor IN the 1886 election. Be.
tween now and then new leaders must be
chosen, and these leaders must come
from the ranks of the younger men. It
may seem cruel and thankless to cast
the old leaders aside, but politics is AFT
best a machine and when parts of a ma
chime are worn out they are discarded
for new ones
The 6. 0. P. should not look to its aged
lame ducks" for the work of regenerat-
ing the party. They are not to be com
pletely ignored, for their counsel and
guidance are valuable, but the party
should not be afraid of them, nor con-
sent to be dominated by them. It is a
young mans fight and the sooner the
party as whole recognizes this fact the
better for its future in the political
arena.

AUSTRIA AROUSED
| BY TEXT DOCTRINE
Revision of School Histories
Ordered to Remove Nazi
Influence on Pupils.

VIENNA R.-Educational authori-
ties of Austria are revising school his
tories as one way Of helping Englebert
Dollfuss' campaign for perpetuation OF
Austria's independence.
The movement had its motive In the
fact that, while Dollfuss was urging the
people to resist the NaI doctrine OF
union with Germany, the textbooks
were preaching 'anschluSs" to the
saws one of these textbooks under
the caption Germany, Nation and
State:
Cites Boundary Differences.
1.-THE territory inhabited by the Ger
man people Is Germany. which Is
larger than the German reich. State
and nation do not always occupy 1den-
tical territory: the language boundaries
of peoples seldom coincide with state
boundaries.
and SO great sections Of German
speaking territory belong to foreign
states. Even the union Of the two
purely German states, the German
reich and Austria, has not yet been
attained.
ITO be sure, the law Of November IL,
1918, which determined the form OF
newly created Austrian republic con-
tanned also the paragraph: German
Austria is a constituent part Of the
German republic
"But the World War victors, par
ticularly France, England and Italy,
prohibited in the peace treaty the
union of the two states. notwithstand-
ing that all Germans fervently desire
this 'anschluSs.'"
Supporters Of Donfuss also point out
that the textbooks have little to say
about Austr:a's glorious past.
Coat Of Arms Annoys.
What irritates some Of these critics
even more Is the hammer-and-sickle
motif in the present Austrian coat OF
arms. which is reproduced in some OF
the textbooks with the accompanying
line: Mote the hammer and sickle"
In other words, the existing books
contain passages which can be used
as NaZi propaganda by teachers in
clined to sympathize with the anschluss
movement, or as MarxiSt propaganda

GOLD IS EXPECTED,
TO HOLD ITS VALUE
Treasury Experts Scout Idea
That Slump in Price
Is Likely.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Treasury monetary experts see little
likelihood Of any drastic slump In the
value of gold.
The opinion was expressed In connec-
ton with q more or less widespread
belief that should the Americans and
British desire for q rise in world prices
materialize, the value Of the metal
would fall Such belief was said to
have its foundation on experiences
under the gold standard whereby a rise
in prices was equivalent to deprecia-
ton Of gold, and vice versa.
Treasury experts declare the con-
tinued accumulation Of gold in official
quarters is gufflcient proof that sub
stantial declines would be avoided, they
explained that the limitation set on its
depreciation Is fixed automatically by
the statutory buying price in the coun-
Try whose currency Is least deprecated
in terms of gold.

the country making the step, it was
said, and It was held almost certain
that any devaluation would be de-

actual profits by revaluing gold at a
lower parity for the currency.
Admitting possible flaws in the above
argument, 1t was stated to be fairly
certain that some agency could be
created, in the event Of drastic depre-
citation in gold values, which could
operate with the objective Of keeping

Raskobs or Rockefellers to pay their
campaign expenditures. The metro
politan press is almost a unit against
them; politics Is against them and So
ciety women are against them.
I'VE expect to rally through the

church people of the evangelical de-
nominations, the parents and grand
parents becoming alarmed about their
children" he said.
