'
 ostia, Italy - (UP)-Hundreds of tombs, identified by archoolog- ists as belonging to rich oriental merchants who had settled in the neighborhood in the times of the Roman empire when Ostia was considered tho greatest port of tho Mediterranean, continue to be un- earthed and reconstructed here.
 The ancient city of Ostia is located at tho mouth of the Fiber river. Several years ago in the course of land reclamation works undertaken by the National As- sociation of Ex-Servico men, an extensive metropolis was un- carthed. Tho extreme importance of tho discovery was realized at once by Professor Guido Calza, tho director of the Ostia excava- tions, who assumed charge of the

BONUS ARMY AGAIN

DEPORTS from Washington are that
N the bonus army is to pay a return
visit to the capital this month and that
it is to be by invitation of the govern
ment, which will provide food and Shelf
er for the army" and make it welcome
The invitation has been given by the
administration. Of course there are re-
strictions. The "army" will be limited
to 20 men chosen from each of the ma
tons 435 congressional districts: it may
remain in the capital only from May Is
to May Is and its leaders will be held
accountable to the authorities for its
conduct while in the capital
This is in sharp contrast with the
attitude taken last June when the
bonus army" was driven out from
Washington by force.
There was no other course to take at
that time, for the veterans had grown
rebellious and defied the government.
However, many who have always oppos-
ed the idea behind the "bonus army" have
firmly believed that the situation could
have been handled differently and bet
ter than it was.
Some slight sign of recognition from
the chief executive, directed toward the
veterans, could have worked wonders.
Instead the veterans were completely
ignored from the start. Instead of being
treated as men who had risked their
lives for their country, they were regard
ed as buns and radicals. Some of them
undoubtedly could be so classified, but
the majority were just perplexed men
looking for some means of relieving
their desperate situation. They might
have been bitter against the executive,
personally, but had he seen fit to address
them as President of the United States,
they would have listened with respect.
1t will be interesting to see what the
attitude of the new bonus army" is.
The new executive has dealt the veterans
a wallop, in the bill cutting down their
pensions, so that, to cetrain extent, he is
in somewhat the same position as his
predecessor. But we believe the new
bonus army" will give no trouble and
will bank on time to prove the belief
is correct.
The farm strike is set for May Is.
That's not such good day to start any
thing.

UNCLE WIGGILY GOES FLYING

Baby Bunty, the little orphan
rabbit. was riding with Uncle Wig
gily in his automobile which had
big, fat bologna sausages for tires
and a turnip for a steering wheel.
Mr.. Longears had started riding IN
his auto to look for May flowers,
which he thought would blossom
after April showers. But before he
found any he saw Baby Bunty
standing near the Hollow Stump
School and invited her to come for
a ride. 20
'Ker-choo! Ker-choo!" sneezed
Uncle Wiggily as Bunty sat beside
him. 81 should say you did have
pepper in your pocket, Bunty! Ker-

he could with the gas, but still not
fast enough to get away from the
Fox. So Bunty took the last grains
of pepper out of her dress pocket
and threw them at the sausage
tires. Some of the pepper stuck on
the tires and made them SO hot
that they whirled the wheels
around faster and faster.
Some of the pepper flew up Bun
tvs nose and she sneezed, "ker-
fool" And some of the pepper flew
up Uncle Wiggily's nose and he
sneezed, "ker-zooH And some of
the pepper flew up the nose of the
Fox and he sneezed, "ker-whew!"
and with that he fell down and
turned a peppersault and bumped
his nose and he couldn't chase the
auto any more.
Hal" cried BABY Bunty, Nov
we're safe, aren't we, Unkie Wig?"
1--WE surely are, Bunty, thanks to
you and your pepper!" laughed Mr..
LongearS. Then he sneezed again
and so did Bunty and they rode
back to the Hollow Stump School
and Bunty went in. For with all the
pepper out of her pocket she
wouldn't make the pupils and the
Lady Mouse Teacher sneeze any
more.
"But still I haven't found any
May flowers" said Uncle Wiggily,
as he rode on alone in his auto.
st had a jolly adventure, but I
found no flowers. think if I flew
up in my airship could look down
and pick out the places where flow
ers are growing much better than
by looking for them in my auto"
No sooner said than done. Riding
home in his auto, Uncle Wiggily
took his airship out of the hangar
or shed where it was tied fast. The
airship was a big clothes basket
with toy balloons on to make it
rise in the air and an electric fan
to push it along. -.
Nov for some May blossomsl"
said the jolly rabbit gentleman. UP
and up he scared in his airship.
Looking down over the side of his
basket, Mr.. Longears saw patch
of yellow in a green field.
"Ha! Those must be May bios
soms!" he said. Down he went,
landing in a big field and, surely
enough, he found yellow butter
CUPS and dandelions. He gathered
, a large bouquet which he took
home to his wife and Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy. They made the Hol-
low Stump Bungalow look very
beautiful.

tain to get a drink out of the look
ing glass, I'll tell you next about

MORE LIKE VACATION

| DEGISTRATION in the forest army,
N organized as part of President Roose-
velt's plan to relieve unemployment, is
now available to idle men, and it will
be interesting to see what response is
made by those who are eligible to join
In Los Angeles, where thousands of
men have been out of work for long
periods, the number enlisting in the
forest army is ridiculously small, in
dicating that many prefer to remain in
the breadlines or continue to lead a hand
to-mouth existence, rather than submit
TO a program which calls for work.
Perhaps the forest army is not the
best solution in the world, but at least
it offers good food, clothing, shelter
and a dollar day, which many who ex-
perienced such an existence in 1917-18
can testify is not half bad. 1t would
seem preferable to the breadlines or
panhandling.
Preference now is given to unmar-
ried men with dependents. They are re-
quired to enlist for a period of at least
six months There is no liability to mil
itary service involved III the enlistment.
The army'S only connection with the
forest work is in supplying equipment
and a physical examination and in giving
the recruits course of physical train
ing before they are sent in to actual
work.
Six months of outdoor life, with
wholesome food and plenty of exercise,
offers a fine chance for building up
physically, mentally and morally, that
should not be overlooked by those who
are in position to accept it.
On the eve of his marriage, Mac,
editor of the Calipatria paper, wonder
ed how he could ever get the paper out.

There is no truth to the report that
California papers are hoping those
