UNCLE WIGGILY'S MARCH
WIND

Uncle Wiggily was walking up
the long hill. 1t was hard work and
the rabbit gentleman was tired.
The hill was slippery with snow
and many times Mr.. Longears slid
backward instead of hopping for
ward.
Dear mel" said Uncle Wiggily
sadly, Shall l ever get to the top
of this hill?"
He stopped to rest and, looking
down, saw a sled with the Woozie
Wolf on it, turn over and over. The
sled did a somersault because it
was going so fast and the Wolf,
in the cloak that he had taken
away from Red Riding Hood, turn
ed three somersaults in the air

We HAVE STRATOSPHERE PLUS

PROFESSOR AUGUST PICARD, who
has made history by two flights into
the stratosphere, is planning a third
flight to be made in the United States,
with the southwestern part of the coun-
try considered as the ideal place for the
venture.
If the professor is looking for place
where atmospheric conditions are as
nearly perfect as possible, we modestly
put forth the claims of Imperial VALLEY
for this distinction
Here the professor will find no clouds,
no wind, brilliant sunshine and ideal con-
ditions for taking off and landing.
Professor Picard is said to prefer
some place in Arizona or Nevada for his
venture, so as to avoid any possibility of
being blown into the ocean.
As the prevailing winds, at least in
the lower regions, and probably in the
upper, are from the west for the next
lew months, there is no more chance for
the professor to be blown into the Pacific
from a take-off in Imperial Valley than
there is from a take-off in Nevada or
Arizona.
The Associated Chambers of Com
merce might do we'll to extend an invita-
ton to the professor on behalf of I'M
perial Valley. He might accept, and the
publicity Imperial Valley would receive
from such venture would be a decided
asset to this community.
We make the suggestion in good faith,
feeling that if the professor is going to
make flight We can provide him with
what he needs in the atmospheric line.
In fact we think we can offer him con-
slderably better in this respect than any
other community.

A Missionary Resigns.
CNew York Herald TribuneO

HereticS are longer burnt at the stake; they send letters of resignation to the parent church. and the parent church accepts those resignations author, notable for fearlessness and honesty of speech, there is acrid suggestion of something in the air that reminds many people of the smoke that rose from the stake. But in the more theo- logical aspects of the disagreement between Mrs Pearl Buck, who resigned, and the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, which accepted her resignation, formal justice seems to us to be on the latters side. Mrs. Buck expressed sincere doubts of the divinity of Christ; her church is founded belief in that divinity parting of the ways between the two natural and right
 But Mrs. Buck, in speeches and magazine articles expressed much than a doubt about her churchs creed. She asked, in all sincerity and with the knowledge of long experience whether it either wise just to try to win the Chinese to Christianity by sending missionaries whose narrow nsistence upon doctrine repeled their would-be con- verts She raised the question whether foreign missions, as now conducted did not defeat their ends. She urged moratorium talk and theology and suggested that i've try to express our religion in terms of life"
 She said many things that could be wounding only to those who wear, in place of Christian charity and vision the binders of dogma. And her church accepts Mrs Bucks resignation matter doctrine Cat it is fully entitled to dol, but does not accept, listen to- her suggestions as to how it's work may be performed not to offend the principles of it's Founder Thereby help ing her not inconsderably, to prove her point.

Chapter 2 MYSTERIOUS PROMISE

Perhaps half an hour later l started to retrace my steps through those confusing corridors to find the dining room. As stepped ous side my room and closed the door behind me I paused a mo- ment.
 Directly oposite men and across the Shadowy court I could see the lights of the lobby; from it's glass paned door and it's window bold rectangles of light spread them selves whitely upon the paving of the court. The wind was steadily rising, murmuring and signing and creaking windows and shutters, and it waved the dense vines and shrubs in the corners of the court so that they made black-blue sha- dows which fled anxiously across the white blocks of light.
 The courtyard itself was faintly lighter than the shadows, owing to the light from the lobby and din- ing-room windows, as well as to a rather dim and wagering light which was hung above the arched entrance and which, as the wind swayed it, walked more flseting blue

 Revised figures of the Treasury, published yes
 terday show that the Federal Government closed it's
 books for March with a balance the right side
 of the ledger. Receipts S283, ,l86,000 and ex- penditures $282 368 000-leaving small surplus Of $818000 This is the first time the Treasury has
 had surplus in it's monthly accounts since Sep tember, 1931-a year and half ago. Deficits have been the order of the day. In the thirty mine
 months since the end of 1929, receipts have ex- Iceeded expenditures only seven occasions. The favorable showing made last month was due
 in part to the fact that quarterly nstaments on the income tax paid in March. April and May will lack the benefit of such payments, and tenn porarily the Governments balance will again go into the red. But a comparison. of figures for March of this year with those for the month of
 1882 shows that progress being made in correcting
 underlying conditions. Receipts this year were ST.

 fective until April l, and the regulations which

shadows into life.
 Immediately at my left as I stood facing the lobby was anoth- CT glassed door, and, idly curious, I moved toward it, glanced through the glass, laid my hand on the latch and stepped through the door onto a sort of landing which led to a narrow, winding flight of iron steps which descended to the courtyard below.
 I don't know why the steps aroused my interest; perhaps I only wanted breath of fresh air after the chill mustiness of my room. At any rate, I descended few steps and paused again to view the sha- dow-ridden court.
 Just below me someone was talk ing. In the lull of the wind I could hear the voices quite dis tinctly, although I could see neith- CT of the speakers. Lovschiem, probably, rating a servant, for the lobby was empty, and it sounded like Lovschiem's voice telling some one in crisp English that he'd be damned if he'd let it happen again. The other voice replied that it wouldn't happen again.
 Are you sure?" said the voice I took to be Lovschiem's.
 I'm sure. It's certain. l know exactly where it is"
 Good, then, I leave it to you" Lovschiem paused, and, this man of hybrid nationality, uttered the one Spanish word I knew which was "Manana."
 'Manana," said the other. and Lovschiem, a dark shadowy bulk, stepped out from the shadows and

shruh5ery directly below the stair way and walked across the flicker ing black and blue and white of the court and into the lobby, where he stood at the desk, stroking his white cockatoo. The other speak CT had vanished
 Since then I have recalled with some interest that it was faint distaste of Lovschiem which sent me up the steps again, and through the long winding corridors along which the porter had led me. If l had descended the remaining steps and followed Lovschiem directly across the court and into the lob by, things might have had a very different ending.
 The lounge was still empty and the bar had not even a light, but in the dining room adjoining tn: lounge I caught a glimpse of the bright-eyed little porter apparent ly doubling as waiter. for he was hurrying across the room with a steaming tureen of soup in one hand and a napkin properly fold ed across his arm.
 He looked harassed, but after disposing of the soup, trotted to meet and seat me with an air oi alacrity He brought me the wine list, showed me written menu which offered no choice, and hur- ried away.
 Thsre were only three people dining.
 Directly across from me sat a woman with a kind of war-horse look about her nose, and terrifying wide, black eyebrows; she was dressed in black, silky looking stuff with quantities of beads and brace lets and brooches, and she looked, in spite of being rather angular in line, little stuffed as to cloth ing, as if she had great many

Roosevelt program has been enacted into law and put into operation.
 Great power is to be granted the President. When he uses it, it will be advisedy and because the times demand it. For coincident with the vest ing of such powers responsibilities equally as great the authority. And those qualities of lead- ership and vision exhibited by MT Roosevelt in the brief space of time he has been in office his cour age his confidence his alert and cheerful decision, his mastery over events they have arisen, have absolutely changed the nations psychology.
 The country is in than an emergency. A crisis exists Drastic treatment is demanded. MT. Roosevelt has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the country that he is capable of applying it. Those who would alarm the people with clamor about
 wrecking the constitution" of abandoning the ten- cts and faith of the founding fathers mistake the temper of the people. Fearful of change themselves and having insufficient vision to see the situation it exists they would stop what progress is being made. They had rather drift than try and uncharted routes But the people of the country have passed that point. Too long the nation drifted Now that it is in motion, they will sweep aside those who would tie the hands of the man who made this almost miraculous change possible in a little more than two months.

 She was reading the Daily Mail with a lorgnette and considerable disapproval. I surmised she was English, but I was wrong, for she turned out to be Mrs. Felicia Byng from Omaha, Nebraska, and ] might say here that I never did know exactly why she was touring the country or why she had taken it into her head to stop in Ar meme. In many respects she re- mained to the last a woman of mystery.
 Across the room sat a priest, youngish, with a dark brown sweat CT pulled over his black, tightly buttoned soutane. His claim to dis tinction appeared to lie in a rather ghastly red beard. His hair was cut like a brush and was of no particular color; thus the sight of his fiery beard was in the na- ture of a shock. He was partaking of soup through the beard with an unpleasant determination, and I shifted my gaze hurriedly back to the wine list in my hand.
 But after a moment, simply be- cause there were so few people in the room, my eyes drifted to the only other occupied table, where woman was seated whose back was turned toward me.
 Drifted idly, but paused with in- terest, for it was, saw at once, a very beautiful back. She was wear ing a black velvet coat affair which fitted tightly and smoothly, could see, of course, her slim white neck and her hair, which was brown

Not a Dictatorship.
Birmingham, Ala, Age-Herald.

Birmingham, Ala. Age-Herald)
 A dictatorship rests upon the idea of force, and cannot be separated from it. Once separated from force, it ceases to be actual dictatorship. The concentration of authority in the President on the other hand, is grant of power by duly authorized agency of the peope-Congress-a in perfectly regular way. It is done in time of war, and &C., cepted matter of course. It is no less proper, and should be less acceptable, in grave emer- gency of another sort, such the present crisis, to give the President authority comparable to war time powers.
 Rather than a dictatorship it would better be called a leadership empowered to lead-and that is no mere play words The difference between the two is the the difference between seizng power and having it thrust upon you, be- tween exercising authority by force and exercising it under a grant.
