ride with in Canada"
ITS dandyi" Duster agreed. Il
wish we had one like that. But
why is Daddicums sleigh riding SO
fast on his fence board toboggan
sled? And why is he chasing Baby
Bunty?"
That's sol He is sleigh riding
after Baby Bunty," said Buster.
Something must be the matter" 3"
There was! No sooner had Baby
Bunty started down one side of
the coasting hill than Uncle Wig
gily, watching her, saw that the
little orphan rabbit was headed
straight for some bushes at the
foot of the hill And looking close
ly at the bushes, Uncle Wiggily saw
hidden in them, the Bob Cat with
his silly little tail.
"Oh, HOP said Uncle Wiggily to
himself. Il must save Baby Bunty.
I must ride down hill after her, get
ahead of her and drive the Bob
Cat out of the bushes before he has
chance to grab Bunty.'
Uncle Wiggily looked for sleigh
on which to ride after Bunty but
saw none. Then it was that the
rabbit gentleman grabbed a fence
board, like a toboggan sled, and
began riding down hill after Bunty.
Faster and faster went Uncle
Wiggily on the board until he had
caught up to the orphan rabbit Now
he was beside her.
Why, Unkie Wig!" exclaimed the
surprised Bunty. Il didn't know
you could sleigh ride on a board
How wonderful"
Don't talk" shouted Uncle Wig
gily. "Steer away from that bush,
Bunty! The Bob Cat is hiding
there!"
"Aw wite, Unkie Wigl" said
Bunty using more baby talk than
she was allowed. But no one mind
ed. Quickly Bunty steered her sled
away from the bush. But Uncle
Wiggily Steered his toboggan sled
right into it. And the bunny rabbit
gentleman was going SO fast he
rode right through the bush and
/ bumped into the hiding Bob Cat
and knocked him higher than a
kite, head over heels, so that the
Bad Chap fell far, far away in a
pile of snow and he's there yet il
he hasn't crawled out"
"Oh, you saved me, Unkie Wig!'
laughed Bunty as they both reach
| ed the bottom of the hill. Then
everybody shouted: "Hurray! Hur-
ray! Hurray"
So everything came out all right
except the Bob Cat, who got snow
up his nose. And If the bread knife

cracker and make it look like cake

gily's icicle game.

UNCLE WIGGHY SAVES
BABY BUNTY

Buster, Custer, Jingle, Jangle and
all the other little rabbit boys and
girls from Uncle Wiggilys hollow
stump bungalow were SO excited
about their own sleigh riding that
for a few moments, they never saw
what their father was doing. They
didn't see him riding down hill on
a fence board after Baby Bunty
who had gone down on her own
red sled.
Uncle Wiggily had come to the
coasting hill with the bunny chill
dren to watch them ride on the
snow. He had no sled of his own
but Baby Bunty said he might take
hers after she had gone down once
to show him how to sleigh ride, as
ne hadn't done it since he was a
boy rabbit many years ago.
But, all of a sudden, as Uncle
Wiggily watched Bunty sleigh rid
ing, the rabbit gentleman quickly
grabbed a fence board and went
sleigh riding all by himself after
/ Bunty.

FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS

IN ILLUMINATING description of the
n efficiency of federal courts as con-
trasted with the slipshod methods in
state courts, is given in an interview
with a San Diego paper by Judge Harry
A. Hollzer, who presided at the federal
district court in that city last week.
More than $50 defendants faced the
court and felony charges against 4S were
disposed of during the session. Pleas of
guilty and continuances disposed Of the
other cases which are being heard this
week.
The fundamental reason by which the
court was enabled to do this amount of
work, as explained by Judge Hollzer,
is its independence. The Judge is ap-
pointed for life, so long as he behaves
himself. He has no political axes to
grind; he does not have to curry favor
with powerful attorneys nor watch out
lest he tread on the toes of some de-
fendant, who possesses political strength.
He can be absolutely fearless impair
tial and efficient.
Greater authority and a wider scope
in exercising it, also tend to increase the
efficiency of the federal court As an
example, Judge Hollzer stated that if, in
the course of trial, he believes the tes-
timony of witness to be perjured, he
can tell the jury SO. A state judge can
not do this.
Again, at the opening Of court, the
Judge announced from the bench that
in any case where man entered a plea
of not guilty, and the evidence proved
him guilty, the not guilty plea would be
held against him in considering punish
ment, for it increased the cost of the
court The result was a great willing
ness on the part of accused to plead
guilty The saving in the courts time
and maintenance can readily be con-
ceived
Another angle adding to the courts eff
ficiency is strict discipline for the at
torneys. The judge can and does de-
mand that lawyers confine themselves
strictly to the evidence in the case and
not GO off on tangents to exhibit their
ability as orators or to 'grandstand' be-
fore the jury and spectators.
The contrast in the state courts is
glaring. One can hardly blame the
judges. The people wished the present
conditions on themselves when they
adopted the policy of electing judges by
popular vote, opening the field to any
and all, with little regard for their legal
aDlllLy DuC WITH mucn REGARD 1OF lHelf
political influence.
The congested condition of Caifornia's
state courts may be traced definitely to
the election of Judges. 1t is fundament-
ally wrong and thinking people cannot
help but wonder how much longer it will
last
Our courts should be removed from
even the slightest evidence of outside in
fluence and they should be the one place
where citizens can be assured of justice
in all that the term implies. Under
our present system such condition is
impossible.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Speak-
er Garner's portrait, which will
hang in the house lobby with those
of all his predecessors in office,
has been completed. 1t is an i'm
posing work and pictures Garner
attired in the stiff formal collar
he was accustomed to wear in the
early days of his speakership.
Mrs. Garner insisted on the wing
collar for the portrait even though
Garner long since has forsaken
collars of this type for everyday
wear. He now wears the ordinary
soft collar, usually with a gold
pin holding the points in place.
The portrait is in a conspicuous
place in Gamers office. A report

been scarce recently in the speak

it might be just as advantageous
to interview the portait as the

HOW SCOUTS DO IT

OBSERVERS at the recent Camporee
y held here by Boy Scouts were given
an opportunity to see Young America at
its best, as scores of youngsters from all
parts of the valley showed their ability
to take care of themselves under COM
paratively primitive conditions.
Their education in erecting a camp.
cooking, making fires without matches,
signaling and numerous other phases of
Scout craft was highly interesting, and
there was one thing about it all that
stuck out like lighthouse at sea.
This was the relations that were main
tanned between boys of various racial
groups. 1t might almost be remarked
that no relations existed between them,
if the reader can grasp the idea that
difference in color or nationality appar-
emily did not enter into the Boy Scout
way of doing things.
Boys whose fathers came from the rice
paddles of Japan, or from little Mexican
villages, from the cotton fields of our
own South and from various nations in
Europe, mingled together unrestrained
and unembarrassed by difference in
the coloring of their skin, or the fact
that some of them bore names hardly
pronounceable in the Anglo Saxon
tongue. They were united by double
bonds-they were all Yankees and they
were all Boy Scouts, living up to the
Scout creed and to the pledge they have
taken to abide by that creed.
They can shame us adults. Some of
us get so finicky when we have dealings
with foreigners. We must instantly as
sumo a superior attitude whether we
rate it or not, and the mere fact that we
assume it indicates that we don't rate it.
But not these youngsters. They didn't
"fraternize" for that is not the word to
describe their relations. They simply ig-
nored the existence of any barriers and
there was not the slightest sign of snob-
berry, subservience or obtrusiveness any
where.
It's great thing to be able to pitch
a tent on wet ground and know how to
keep dry, or to kindle fire with cou-
Pile of sticks of wood or to cook food
without spelling it. But it is far great
er to be able to mingle east and west or
north and south without making any fuss
about it. To be able to do all these
things is a wonderful education for any
youth and forms the foundation for a
splendid citizen. The Boy Scouts have it
all and the best of it is that they appre-
ciate it, but they don't parade the appre-
citation.
