Uncle Wiggily and all the animal

the rabbit, to Billie Wagtail, the
goat, not to forget Jimmie Wibble-

many long, sharp. glittering icicleS
from the edge of the woodshed
roof. The girl animals were also
there watching the boys and so was
the Lady Mouse Teacher.
She had let the pupils out be-
fore recess because Uncle Wiggily
asked her to. AS a matter of fact,
the boys wouldn't study because
they were thinking so much about
SNOWFALL fights, sliding down hill
and going skating.

Like the knights of Old" said
the Lady Mouse, who often read
stories of the knights to her pupils.
That's it, said Uncle Wiggily.
I'm the olden days the hunters
could throw a spear or javelin very
far and very straight, hitting what
they aimed at. Now we aren't 60
ing to do any hunting, so you boys
will throw these icicle spears at
mark or target, in the snow bank.
I'll make the mark for YOU"
did the old knights have spears
of ice?" asked Jimmie the duck,
while Uncle Wiggily made a target
by marking circles on snow bank
near the school.
NO" said the rabbit, "the old
hunters and Knights had spears or
javelins made of wood, steel and
iron. But as we have none we shall
use ice. Come now, Duster," he
called, throw one of your icicle
spears and see if you can put it in
the center of the snow bank"
Duster threw a long slender icicle
like spear. 1t didn't even hit the
snow bank. He was poor shot.
His third shot, however, stuck in
the snow, but not near the target.
"I can do better than that!"
quacked Jimmie the duck. But he
was not much better. Nor was
Buster, Duster, Muster or any of
the boys.
Pooh! We girls could throw ici-
Gle spears better than that!" quack-
ed Lulu.
Hush, my dear!" whispered Miss
Mouse. Uncle Wiggily is going to
take his three shots" For the rab-
bit gentleman, after seeing what
poor shots the boy animals were,
picked up three icicles for himself
II guess my Unkie Wig is very
good shot!" said Baby Bunty.
Watch and keep quiet, please!'
whispered Miss Mouse.
Uncle Wiggily threw one icicle
1t went away over the top of the
bank of snow. 1t was worse miss
than any of the boys had made.
"Ho! Ho!" laughed Lulu. But just
then, out from behind the snow
bank, ran a big, shaggy animal
Who he was and what happened

CULLING THE VETERANS

ACTION recommended by Brigadier-
"A General Frank T. Hines, head of the
Veterans Bureau, to weed out the vet
Grams receiving disability allowances for
non-service connected injuries, is to have
the active corporations of the administra-
ton, according to news from Washing
ton.
This procedure, acknowledged to be
badly needed, should nevertheless be
conducted with great care, so as not to
injure one deserving eX-serviceman.
Lists have been published at various
times, showing men in high government
positions, with salaries ranging to
$4,000 year, who are also drawing
full disability compensation from the
government. This is wrong, particular
ly when the disability did not occur in
active service.
On the other hand, veterans maga-
zines are full of cases of men seeking
compensation for injuries received in ac-
tual service, and asking the aid of their
comrades to help them obtain the defin-
lte proof that the government demands
of them before compensation will be al
lowed. Such proof is extremely diff
cult and sometimes impossible to pro-
duce. In such cases deserving veterans
are Denied compensation due them or it
is delayed when they need it most
Every good citizen, whether he was in
the service or not, wants to see every
deserving veteran accorded proper treat
ment by the government he served. 1t is
just as true that good citizens, both
those who were in the service and those
who were not, strongly resent undeserv-
ing veterans being paid large sums of
money by the government.
That this condition does exist. cannot
be denied. 1t is in the hope of correct
ing it that the wedding out process is to
be adopted. If the proper supervision
is exercised, no deserving veteran will
be wronged and many who have been
bleeding" the government will be cut
off the payroll.
Proper supervision is essential and
veterans may depend upon their various
organizations to cooperate with the gov
ernment in seeing that the wedding out
process is conducted as it should be-

BOLSTERING THE BANDITS

USUALLY the target of severe criticism
u for their failure to apprehend Grim
inals, the police of Los Angeles have
iustifiable cause for remonstrance in the
case of the motion picture actress who
has refused them any cooperation IN
their efforts to track down and arrest
criminal gang who robbed her of her
jewels.
The Jewels were stolen during a hold
up in the home of the actress and were
returned to her after several days of
dickering with the bandits, during which
time and since, the actress and her
friends have stubbornly refused to give
the police any information or assistance.
There are two sides to the picture of
course The actress and her friends,
like the rest of us, know that crime Is
rampant and that criminals are con-
temptuous of the laws puny efforts to
curb their activities. 1t is asserted that
the actress and her friends dealt with
the bandits under threat that any other
course would lead to reprisals. Self
preservation being fundamental course,
it is easier and more comforting to adopt
it than to ignore the bandits threats
and assist the police.
1t is sad state of affairs and one
that is fraught with grave possibilities.
Emboldened by their success in this in
stance there is no doubt that those out
side the law will single out other vic
Tins from whom to collect tribute.
Not until citizens can be induced to
insist on having an efficient police SER
vice, free from the manipulations of
politicians, and follow this up by back
ing the police to the limit, can there be
any real success in putting down gang
sterism and racketeering. The sooner
such course is adopted and rigidly ad
hered to, the better for law and order.
