First Freshman PLAY Is
Big Hit With Audience

RepOrted to The Daily Dispatch)
There were few dry eyes in the
audience at Central school last night
as they followed the lovable, harum-
scarum Christmas Party from it's in
ception to the winging of Carols
spirit back to Heaven. The Christmas
Season could not have been better in
troduced than by the Freshman pre-
sentation of Kate Douglas Wiggin's
immortal story, The Birds Christ
mas Carol" Inaugurating as it did
the custom of an annual freshman
play, the freshman at the same time
set standard for High School plays
which will take work to live UP to
and more to surpass.
Miss Athleen Turnage, class spOn-
sor and coach did a splendid piece of
work. She was ably assisted by Sally
Hight of the High School Dramatic
Club.
The play centers around the birth
day of Carol Bird, falling on Christ
mas Day, and her celebration of it
by having the Ruggles family for
Christmas dinner, Mabel Parham in
the role of Carol, did a splendid,
heart-catching piece of work, Billy
Dunn, the adorable Clement, did as
good a piece of acting as the Hen
derson High School Stage has seen.
The sympathetic, loving, and lovable
Elfrieda, as interpreted by Sylvia
Loughlin, could not have been bet
ter done even by an elder actress,
Maurice Capps, as Lowry was out
standing.
Of more than usual merit, also,
was the work of Uncle Jack, played
by Stewart Switzerland, difficult
part of a wanderer, held by the love
of the sick girl Mrs. Ruggles played
superably by Frances Daniels, brought
tears to the eyes of her listeners even
while they laughed at hr pathetic at
tempts to, Fetch her Chil'uns Up
Sassaity Like even on no money;
and Mrs Bird, splendidly pictured as
the mother wrapped up in an only
child, by Florence Smith.
Others taking part included w. H.

INVESTIGATING Los ANGELES

los ANGELES papexs scott at the idea
A. of state investigation of the city's
political affairs, on the order of the IA
nous Hofstader investigation in New
York.
The proposal has been made to the
state legislature and the Los Angeles pa
pers take the attitude that the city's po-
lltlcal affairs are none of the states bus
mess. They point out numerous charges
of corruption and irregularity in state
affairs and more than broadly hint that
the state should clean up its own affairs
before tackling the Job of cleaning up
Los Angeles
That Los Angeles needs cleaning up
can hardly be denied by anyone and it
Is not necessary to refer to unsavory
messes as far back as the Julian case
with its attendant scandals.
Recently an assistant chief of police
was dismissed from the forces following
charges that would make one laugh at
their righteousness, except that the
character of man is at stake. He was
accused of participating in shooting
doe out of season in a northern county
months ago, of failing to make a certain
arrest and of "pernicious political activ-
ity'. There are many indications that
the latter was his most serious offense
and might have been considered as such
because he was at "outs" with the ''in"
city administration.
Another political scandal is brewing
in the action of the grand jury which
yesterday indicted three men on charge
of bribery in connection with a plot to
ruin one of the candidates at the city
election held this week.
Los Angeles may not need state in
vestigation, as its papers infer, but it
certainly could stand an investigation
from its own honest citizens.
The political and business scandals
that have occurred there in recent years
indicate that the city is far from the
clean and wholesome metropolis its pa
pers would like to have it considered.

UNCLE WIGGILY GOES RIDING

Uncle Wiggily was Whlstling a
merry tune. He certainly seemed
very happy after his May party
when he had tied the Bob Cat with
the animal girls jumping hopes and
had taken the ice cream away from
the Bad Chap. Besides whistling,
Uncle Wiggily was twinkling his
pink nose.
why are you so jolly this morn
ing?" asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy, who
was out in the yard back of the
hollow stump bungalow. Nurse
Jane was shaking rug. Not that
the rug had been bad, but it hac
some dust in it that Nurse Jane
wanted to shake out.
The muskrat lady houSekeeper
didn't really want the dust for her
self. She just wanted to take 1t
away from the rug.

Some day." said Uncle Wiggily
to himself as he rode along, Il will
get Nurse Jane to make me big,
round chocolate cake for a steering
wheel The only trouble might be,
though ne chuckled, that 1 would
nibble it all up and then I would
have no way of steering"
So Uncle Wiggily went riding,
looking for May flowers.
Now, if you don't mind, suppose
we go to the hollow stump school
and see what is going on there.
Baby Bunty, the little orphand rab-
bit. was reading to the kindergarten
class, when all Of a sudden, Bunty
wanted to sneeze. So, very politely,
she took out her clean pocket hand
kerchief, or "hankoWitz," as she
sometimes called it.
Bunty had her sneeze, but as she
started to put her handkerchief
back into her pocket some black
specks flew out and, all of quick
ness, many of the animal boy and
girl pupils began sneezing and so
did the Lady Mouse Teacher.
MY goodness, Bunty-Ker-cho
what have you on your-ker-choo-
handkerchief" asked Miss Mouse.
"Oh, I think it must be pepper
ker-choo!" answered Baby Bunty.

sneezed again. Il was helping I'm

were SO tiny. like grains of pepper,
that l thought they were pepper.
So I went in Nurse James kitchen
and got some pepper for Unkie Wig

mistake, but I guess some of the
Pepper grains are still IN my pock-
ct and that's what makes me
kerr choo."
"I-ker- choo-think it is, Bunty,
said Miss Mouse with smile. $50
you had better go outside and
empty your pocket and shake it to
get rid of the pepper and then you
may come back and finish your
reading for the Kindergarten class. >
THANK you = ker-choo!" said
Bunty politely. Then she hoped
out of tie Hollow Stump School
and, as she Gid SO, along came
Uncle Wiggily riding i'll his automo-

something very strange happened.
