BED TIME STORIES

was quite true as everybody knows.
Il wish I had a gold mine"
spoke Bunty
Il wish you did, said Uncle Wig
gily who was wondering what kind
of an adventure he would have
that day. Then he thought no more
about the gold mine for they were
at the Hollow Stump School and
Bunty had to hop in to say her les
sons.
Good bye, Unkie Wig" she call
ed.
Good bye" said the rabbit gen.
tleman.
Bunty was very good in school.
She put her lollypop away in her
desk and didn't bring it out again
until recess. Then, when she was
sucking it and giving turns to Susie
Littletan and to Jingle and Jangle,
who were Uncle Wiggily's twins
why, Jackie Bow Wow asked:
"Where'd you get it, Bunty?"
"Unkie Wig bought it for me
with money he dug out of his gold
mine," answered the little orphan
rabbit.
ooh! Oh! Oil" shouted all the
animal children. And Peetie Bow
Wow said to his brother Peetie.
1--WE could dig a gold mine!"
Sure we could" barked Peetie.
Were good diggers."
$50 am II" said Samnlie Little
tail, a rabbit.
Then let's dig a gold mine, af-
ter school," went on Jackie. Maybe
we can find money to buy lot of
lollypops!"
What fun" shouted Baby Bun
ty.
So, after school, many of the
animal boys and some of the ami
NAL girls went over in big field
to dig for gold as they thought
Uncle Wiggily had done. Jackie and
Peetie started digging first, scratch
ing the dirt out of the hole with
their front paws. And very soon
something very strange happened.
I'll tell you about it tomorrow
night when the Bedtime Story will
be called Uncle Wiggily at the hoe.
And do you think you can stop the
apple pie from chasing the cheese
all around the coffee pot? If you
can the powdered sugar won't have
to go hide in the salt cellar.

The two went to the White House
at the appointed hour and found
they were among a dozen or more
tea guests. They soon overcame
their shyness and had a good time.
When the other guests began to
depart they trouped along. They
thought that probably Mrs. Roose-
welt had forgotten their proposal
and anyway they didn't want to
infringe on her hospitality by
bringing it to her attention again.
But Mrs. Roosevelt called them
back. asked them to sit down and
began to talk about the flower show
they had proposed. She said that
if they were determined to go
through with it she would send
White House exhibits. But she ad-
ded a word of advice to the eff
feet that she beieved flower show
would not be particularly success
full for the purpose they outlined.
She suggested that perhaps, after

earnest young Westinghouse, look
ing about for a method of raising
funds for a musicians cultural CEN
ter here, hit upon the idea of pro-
noting a flower show with exhi-
bits from the White House gardens
as one of the chief attractions.
The young men had read OF the
great success of the New York
flower show and thought that some
thing of the kind could be done
here, the proceeds to be used in
broadening opportunities for strug-
Cling musicians who were finding
the times bit difficult.
Uncertain over the exact eti-
quette required, the musicians ad-
dressed communications to the
White House and a number Of
other large estates where exhibits
might be Forthcoming. There were
probably no more surprised persons
in Washington than the two men
when they received cordial in
vitation to have tea with Mrs.
Roosevelt and discuss the project.

UNCLE wIGGMY's GOLD MINI

One day, when Uncle Wiggily
was hopping along to school with
Baby Bunty, the orphan rabbit, the
old rabbit gentleman said: ~
would you like lollypop, Bun
typ"
"Oh, yes, very much, Unkie Wig"
Bunty answered, using all the baby
talk she was permitted. But you
haven't a lollypop have you?"
mot right smack in my pocket"
Uncle Wiggily answered, twinkling
his pink nose. 81 don't carry lolly-
pops in my pocket-they're SO sticky
you see, Bunty." ~
"Yes, they are sticky, Unkie
Wig" spoke the little orphan rab-
bit. Specially after you have been
sucking 'em. But if you haven't a
lollypop in your pocket how are
you going to give me one?"
I'll get you one in the first candy
store we see," promised the jolly
rabbit gentleman. Il have money
with which to buy lollypops," and

hotel last night. A large number

association to adopt this rule by
which trials will not be held ex-
cepting in cases where an injustice
might be caused were the action to
be delayed or on stipulation OF
counsel. Other proposed court rules
were discussed during this meeting.

NOT DEPENDABLE

A PESSIMISTIC attitude toward econ
"A omic conferences, disarmament par
leys, trade councils and other interna-
tional gatherings, is justified apparent
ly, in view of the attitude of leading ma
tons on war debts.
Yesterday saw only one of the Euro
pean nations which owe us money liv-
ing up to its word and meeting its pay
ment in full-Finland the little repub-
lie up in the Arctic circle, having that
honor
Great Britain, Italy Czecho-Slovakia
Roumania and Latvia made partial pay
ments.
France, Poland, Belgium, Jugoslavia
and Lithuania defaulted and similar ac-
ton is expected from Hungary and Es-
tonia.
The partial payments at least indicate
a measure of good faith and a willing
ness to acknowledge the debts as just
ones
1t is hard to admit anything but a
downright breach of faith on the part of
the defaulters. The nations involved in
the default came to America during the
war and asked for the money. In re-
turn they signed notes the same as a
private borrower at bank would be
asked to do. By signing they acknowl-
edged their debt as a just one and agreed
to pay when due.
Since that time the debts have been
pared and pared again by the United
States government so that the totals now
are nowhere near what the ordinary
business procedure would make them
This government has been lenient in the
extreme on the subject of debts.
Admitting that there is much to be said
on both sides of the debt question, it
would seem that the only honorable
course for the debtor nations to pursue
would be to meet their obligations, at
least until such time as further adjust
ment of the debts is accomplished, II
such should be found warranted
Nations which do not live up to their
pledges regarding their financial obliga-
tions, can hardly be expected to abide
by treaties of any kind, whether they
embrace disarmament, tariff reductions
or universal peace.

Bunty. How nice.
Then she hoped along with I'm

He was just walking with Bunty to

Soon they reached the candy
store and Uncle Wiggily took Bum
ty in and with money from his
pocket, he bought the little orphan
rabbit the most wonderful rose fla
vored lollypop.
"Unkie Wig" spoke Bunty, when
they came out of the store.
Eyes, Bunty, what is it?" he
asked.
"Whub du dub Diet dur bondy?'
was what Bunty seemed to say.
"If you would take that lollypor
out of your mouth you could speak
more plainly and I. could under
stand you,' said Uncle Wiggily.
So Bunty todk the lollypop out
of her mouth and asked:
where do you get your money
Unkie Wig?"
"Oh, I get it out Of gold mine,

CONGRESS- ADJOURNS

THE SPECIAL session of the 73rd con-
L gress has passed into history
Since March 8 it has been aboring
with legislation of more Importance to
the people of the United States than has
confronted any other congress since the
war.
On the whole it must be given credit
for accomplishing things. In fact it ac-
complished much.
Recent tedious disputes over veterans
legislation and other matters have over
Swallowed the events of last March,
when congress was called into action to
prevent financial chaos.
From the start it backed up the Pres
ident's program for rehabilitation of the
country and deserves commentator for
the manner in which it passed legisla-
ton which he deemed essential for the
welfare of the nation.
Unemployment, farm relief aid for
home owners, reform of the banking sys-
tenn, investigation of Wall street finan-
clal mysteries, reorganization of the rail-
roads, approval of a vast public works
program and legalization of beer and
wine are among some of the maj or ac-
complishments of congress.
Compared with previous congresses,
anu particularly Inc last SeSSloH VI the
72nd congress, the 73rd gives promise of
accomplishing much before it is dis
solved. At least it has done things. AS
congressional inaction has been one of
the outstanding weaknesses in our legis-
lative system, the fact that congress can
and does work, is encouraging.
The months between now and Deem
Der, when congress returns to the CAPT.
tai, will give time for many of its meas
ures to be tried out thoroughly. There
is every reason to believe that the legis-
lation it has approved will be beneficial
If the contrary should prove true, it
will muddle things considerably, but we
will at least know that congress tried
and that is great deal in its favor.
