| BALTIMORE, January 13-T1ne his
toric Fifth Regiment Armory of the
Maryland National Guard was destroyed
by fire early today, at possible loss
of S1,5o0.0 900.
Only the thick granite walls, among
which the flames ragged for hours, re-
manned of the 30-year-old building
where Woodrow Wilson was nominated
/ for President in 1912, and Franklin D
| Roosevelt ended his Southern presiden-
| tial tour last Fall
The fire, of an undetermined origin
was discovered at $50 am, and within
few minutes a general alarm sum-
moned all the fire fighting apparatus
of the city,.
Small Fires Started.
Unable to bri~ . the flames under
control, the firemen turned their at
tention to numerous small fires started
by flying embers, scattered over a wide
area by a 30-mile northwestern wind.
Col. Washinton Bowie jr., commander
of the regiment, said if the walls and
structural steel are seriously damaged
the loss will total S1,500 900. but if the
walls and frame work survived the fire
the damage probably will be about
S5o0,000.
The armory was built in 1903 from an
original appropriation of $4,000. 1t
was dedicated on May IL of that year
at ceremonies attended by representa-
tiveS of the Army and Navy and vari-
Gus military organizations throughout

I'm going to get q pair" snarled
the Wolf.
"a pair of what?" asked the Fob
Cat.
"A pair of wings" answered the
( Wolf.
Don't be silly!" laughed the Fox.
You can't get wings and If you
had them you wouldn't know how
to fly"
"You watch mel" snarled the
Wolf. Il know where an Eagle has
his nest high in tree, I'm going
to ask the Eagle to lend me his
wings and then I can fly up and
get Uncle Wiggily."
Say, that Will be a good trick!'
! said the Fox and Bob Cat.
They went with the Wolf to the
Eagles nest as Uncle Wiggily kept
on flying higher and higher.
What? Lend you my wings!"
screamed the Eagle when he heard
what the Wolf wanted. mo, in
,Ieedl If anybody is going to catch
that high flying rabbit I'll do 1t
myself. I'm just as hungry as you
are! Ha! Hal"
The three Bad Chaps skunk away
while the Eagle scared out of his
nest and began flying after Uncle
| Wiggily and the kite.
"Oh, now there's going to be
more troubled" thought the poor
rabbit gentleman as, with a loud
scream, the Eagle swooped at him.
But just then the wind gave sud-
den puff and instead of getting
/ hold of the bunny, the Eagle bit
| two big holes in the paper kite.
! And as soon as the holes were
made the kite began to drop down,
| taking Uncle Wiggily with 1t as he
held to the end of the string.
"Oh! OH! I made mistake!"
screamed the Eagle. II BIT the kite
instead of the bunny"
"I'm glad you did" called Uncle
Wiggily. "For now can fly low"
So he began flying lower and
lower until he safely reached he
ground and before the Eagle could
fly down and get him Mr.. Long
ears hoped safely to his bungalow.
He didn't take the kite, as it was
torn, but he said he would make
Jackie and Peetie new one, which
he did. SO neither the Eagle nor
the three Bad Chaps caught the
bunny and I guess we're all glad.
And if the radio will play some mu-
sic for the phonograph 20 dance

Wolford and Harry Horton, Wright's

1t is the contention of the de-
murrer that the complaint "does
not state facts sufficient to consti-
tute cause of action in that an
injunction does not lie to prevent
public officer from the perform
ance of his duties" and that the
injunction sought would interfere
with the duties of the officers in
their attempts 20 prevent operation
of the machines from becoming il
legal, even if they are legal as set
forth in the complaint.

hill, for he was in the air, high
above the hills around his hollow
stump bungalow.
Dear mel What a strange thing
to have happened TO mel" sighed
Uncle Wiggly. II wish I hadn't
offered to hold this kite for Jackie
and Peetie Bow Wow"
For that's how it ali happened.
Uncle Wiegily saw the doggie boys
flying their kite i'll the strong.
north March wind. And when the
school bell rarg and the puppies
didn't have time to haul down their
kite. they asked Mr.. Longears if he
didn't want to fly il himself a little
while. OF course Uncle Wiggily
said he did, but he had only been
flying it a few minutes before there
came such a strong puff of wind
tnat the kite lifted the bunny gen.
tleman high up into the air.
So he went flying high.
But the thing for me to do
thought Mr.. Longears as he sailed
along in the air, 'is to fly low. For
If I can fly low enough I can get
back to the ground and go home to
my bungalow. I'll never again fly
kite in a strong wind"
But as he flew on and on and
on, there seemed no way in which
Uncle Wiggily could fly low to get
back 10 earth He was quite high
up.
"But there is one good thing about
this, even If it is a lot Of trouble, .
thought Mr.. Longears. None OF
the Bad Chaps can get me while l
am flying high. Neither the Fox
the Wolf nor the Bob Cat has wings
and they can't fly up here and nib
BILE me-"
Which was true enough. For, rs
nc looked down, Uncle Wiggily saw
me snree Bad Chaps looking up at
/ him as he sailed along.

ped the Fox.
