Red Flannels Fail to Yield
To This Modern Age

flannel underwear and heavy
night shirts are not F Street
flappers or the so-called cow
boys. Most Of them are elderly
persons or those whose work
keeps them out in the open.
I'VE have many calls from
women but I can't say whether
they get them for themselves
or for their husbands. In some
instances, however, I do know
that women wear them-both
the underwear and the night
Sh:rts-Or at least that's what
they say"
So, after all, this old American
institution has outlived button
shoes and buggy whips.

UNCLE WIGGILY PLAYS HOUSE

AS Uncle Wiggily hoped past the
lilac bush in the back yard OF his
hollow stump bungalow one day,
the rabbit gentleman heard voices.
You must be the mother said
one voice, "and dust the dishes
and sweep the beds.
why are you talking thai way?
asked another voice. That isn't
right. You mean wash the dishes
and dust the rooms, don't you?'
"Oh, yes, Jingle, that's what l
mean" laughed Baby Bunty, for
by this time Mr.. Longears knew It
was the little orphan rabbit who
was speaking. Il was just talking a
little bit like Unkie Wig when he's
fooling u.s." said Baby Bunty. But
You'll be the mother, won't you
Jingle?"
yes, but what will you be, Bun
typ"
"Tn be the daddy, like Unkie
Wig and I'll go off and look for
adventures while you stay home
and wash the dishes
That's no fun" said Jingle. 1

BEDTIME STORIES

This time Uncle Wiggily twink
led his pink nose and said:
How would it be if I played
house with you? I'll be both the
father and mother and you can be
the children and hop off to play.
I'll wash the dishes and sweep the
place and when you come back
you can tell me what happened.
How will that be?'
"F'ine!' said Jingle.
20. X" said Baby Bunty.
So the two little rabbit girls hop
ped off by themselves while Uncle
Wiggily started to play house un-
der the lilac bush all by himself.
He pretended to be washing the
dishes and making the beds and
busting the one room of the play
house as long as Jingle and Baby
Bunty were in sight. But when they
had gone Uncle Wiggily sat down
on a box and said:
Now I am gong to take a little
sleep
So he shut his eyes and let the
twinkle fade from his pink nose
and pretty soon, after a little while,
not so very long, the rabbit gentle
man was fast asleep.
While he slept Jingle and Baby
Bunty had lots of fun in the fields
looking for adventures, but the only
one they found was when they saw
an angle worm in a little puddle OF
water and helped him out. The
worm thanked the little bunnieS for
their kindness.
Then. while Uncle Wiggily was
asleep, along came the Woozie Wolf
who, looking through the bushes
and seeing the rabbit gentleman all
alone, groWled and said:
Nov I can catch Uncle Wig
gily!'
So the Bad Chap crept closer and
closer, but his tail brushed the
leaves and made a sWiShing sound
and this awakened Mr.. Longears.
What, back so soon, Bunty and
Jingle?" exclaimed the rabbit gen.
tleman, sitting up and opening his
eyes. Did you have a good time?"
I'm going to have good time
nibbling youl" howled the Wolf.
Then when Uncle Wiggily's eyes
were wide open and he saw that it
was the Wolf instead of the little
rabbit girls, Mr.. LongearS picked
up some of the clam shells and
threw them, as hard as he could,
at the Bad Chap. The clam shells
banged him on his eyes, nose and
mouth and away he ran bowling:
Il don't want to play house. !
don't want to play housel"
When Bunty and Jingle return
ed. they didn't mind because Mr..
I,ongears had thrown away their
dishes. They could easily get more.
And if the coffee pot will please
stop throwing eggs at the gas stove
when it is frying snowballs for the
pussy cats breakfast, I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily's straw
hat.

HE HAD 1T COMING

GENERALLY the reaction of the pub
y lie to the Friday night squabble at
Hollywood between an actor and a col
umnist, in which the former walloped
the latter for allegedly using the actors
romance rs a basis for a screen Scenar-
10, is that the actor should have gone
little further in working over the col
umnist.
Public brawls are to be deplored and
denounced of course, but one cannot help
asking if they are any more deplorable
or more fit subjects for denOuncing,
tkan the snooping and prying indulged
in by the type of writer of which the
principal in this case is an outstanding
example
The constitution guarantees the llber
ty of the press. 1t is essential that it
shoulc do so. The public is entitled to
the news.
But there is a dividing line between
what is news and what is a PERSONS own
private business. The columnist in ques-
tiCn has been oyer-stepping that line
with impunity for several years, and has
gotten away with it,, without being
called to time for his invasion of private
affairs
He has succeeded in creating an at
mosphore of levity and ridicule about one
of the most sacred things in the lives of
humans. with his flippant and ribald
blessed event. announcements. This
is only one of many sins he has commit
ted against decency, good breeding, and
a proper respect for the other fellows
feelings.
His outlook on life can best be judged
by the quotation credited to him after
the Hollywood brawl-''the publicity re-
sulting from the affair will be fine
stuff for the picture to be developed
from the scenario.
There ;sn't much one can do to curb a
fellow like that. Recourse to physical
combat is about the only thing left to a
man who respects himself and his
family. Just so long as the law permits
columnists to continue to get away
with it,.
It is q be regretted that Alfalfa

Mothers should educate their

MISSOURI TO
HOLD VOTE ON
REPEAL ISSUE
BY RICHARD L. HARDNESS
United Press Staff CorreSnonde,


JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, July "a.
Missouri will vote before August
20 on National prohibition repeal.
Machinery to record the vote and
set up a state convention to certify
results to Washington was set in
motion today by Gov. Guy B Park,
who called statewide mass meet
ings and senatorial district conVen-
tions to pick delegates.
If the state votes wet, all con-
vention delegates will be wet. If
the state votes dry, all convention
delegates will vote for continued
prohibition.
Missouri drys are fighting the
move, seeking to force a referen-
dunn on the bill by which the cleo
tion and convention was legalized.
If they are successful, Missouri
must wait until after the election
of November, 1884, to vote. Tine ref
erendum, according TO wet leaders,
is doomed to failure, however.
The dryS are also attempting to
Gust the sale of 80 beer. Because
the legislature passed the beer bill
at its recent session with an emer-
gency clause to make it effective
Immediately upon signing by the
governor, the prohibitionists are at
tacking the measure in the supreme
court.
Missouri vets are anxious that
this state, the thirty-sixth to rati-
fly the lame duck amendment early
this year, is not the last to act on
repeal.
