she is expecting me home on shore
and can't get back and-Oh, dear!
1t is very sad!"
Uncle Wiggily didn't feel like
laughing now. But the fish hawk,
who was very kind, said:
II will help you get back on
shore"
"How?" asked the rabbit.
ION that floating island which
really isn't an island at ALL"
But it looks like an island" said
Mr.. Longears. And it is certainly
floating And little animal children
are playing tag on it,"
YES" squawked the fish-hawk,
but it isn't an island. 1t is the back
of a big whale fish sticking up out
of the water And a whale is SO big
that even little piece of his back
sticking up out Of the water looks
like an island"
How wonderful" said Uncle
Wiggily. But what about the lit
tie children playing on the whales
! back?"
They are sea urchins,' answer
ed the fish-hawk, who was circling
around the balloons that Uncle
,.Wiggily held. They are real sea
,urchins just like children. But now
if you want to get back on shore
I'll help you to do So"
How can you?' asked the rab-
bit
II will bite holes in few of
your balloons" said the bird. THE
ones I don't bit will not be strong
enough to hold you up in the air.
You will float gently down and land
on the whales back. Then he will
swim to shore with you and all will
be fine and dandy"
"All right" said Uncle Wiggily,
please do. am tired of floating in
the air over the sea like a balloon.
Help me to float down."
So the fish-hawk nipped holes in
five balloons, a red one and also
pink, purple, yellow and blue. Gent
ly Uncle Wiggily dropped down to
the whales back that was like a
floating island. The sea urchins
danced around the rabbit. The
whale, who had been asleep, flipped
his big tail and swan 70 close to
shore that Uncle Wiggily could
jump over on the sandy beach and
there were all his little Dummies, and
his wife and Nurse Jane waiting for
him. He was back on shore.

President Roosevelt sent the la
Dor department into nervous con-

new labor department statistics on
factory employment. The White
House suggested that his reaction
be withheld publicly until the de-
department announced the EN-
ployment data later in the day.
Miss Perkins office then denied
the figures were ready but pSo-
missed them for today's papers. The
White House then got in touch with
the labor department. The result
was that the data was made public

The other day the decision of the

WALES LOSES
FARM TITLE

LONDON, Aug. II. ;U.Pj-"The
Farmer" as the Prince of Wales is
known to agriculturistS here, may
soon lose that affectionate title.
The Prince owns model farms in
Nottinghamshire and Cornwall, and
a ranch at Calgary, Alberta, Can
ada. But according to strong rumors
he intends to dispose of the Not
tingham and Canadian outfits.
The two chief reasons advanced
for his abandonment of farming are
first, his increasingly heavy list Of
public and state engagements, and,
second, that farming in this coun-
try is not a paying proposition now,
and he has sustained considerable
losses during the last three or four
years.
Wales has been intensely inter-
ested in farming. He has many
herds of prize cattle, and repeated
ly, he and his father, King George,
carry off the big prizes at the an
nual cattle shows. If the King wins
cup one year, the Prince gets it
the next
1t is understood that Wales al
ready has ordered that no more cat
tie are to be bought at Grove farm,
Lenton, Nottinghamshire, while the
rumors regarding the Alberta ranch
while not so strong, have been per-
sistent for some TIME. In giving up
Grove farm, Wales only will be fol-
lowing the example of his father.
The King some time ago sold his
model Flemish farm at Windsor,
formerly farmed by King Edward,
on account of the heavy expenses
incurred.

1T CAN BE DONE

CAY1NG a record will never be broken
Ois dangerous business, be it in sports
or in other activities.
There was Everett Deacon Scott. the
old Boston and New York shortstop, who
played in 1907 consecutive big league
games between 1916 and 1925. When he
did it many sports writer's said his mark
would never be equaled. Whether they
thought the breed of men was becoming
weaker or the lively ball too dangerous,
they didn't say, but most of them agreed
SCOTS mark would stand for many,
many years.
Only few months after his record
was made, Lou Gehrig, youngster, be-
gan to play ball with SCOTS team Lou
continued on the job without miss and
yesterday equaled SCOTS mark Today
he is due to pass it, and may go on for
several years without interruption, for
he is young, healthy, a hard-worker and
he can hit, as the pitchers in his cir
cult know.
1t hasn't been easy for Gehrig He
has had his share of sprained ankles,
busted fingers and a few more ills to
which high-priced baseball players are
subject Perhaps he deserves credit for
being SO steadfast, and it is not polite
to point out that many men working in
less spectacular jobs have exceeded the
records of both Scott and Gehrig for
steadiness by many years.
Gehrig's record is not so ALFRED i'm
portant in the general scheme of things,
but it should serve as warning to those
who say ''it can't be done.
-O-
Whoever thought anything SO harm
less as a peach would cause strike?
We venture the opinion that if Frank
lin D. Roosevelt comes out to the coast
next year he will not be snubbed by the
mayor of Los Angeles.

WORKERS TOO WISE

EFFORTS of I. w. w. organizers to
- force strike at Boulder dam yester-
day have resulted in failure, according
to reports, the several thousand labor
ers on the dam refusing to be misled by
the temptations of the ''wobblies'.
Despite the record of the |. w. w.
over course of many years, in which
it has not accomplished one construct
i've thing for the laboring man, its agents
had the nerve to distribute l. W. w. cir
culars at the dam yesterday, hoping the
laborers would listen to their promises
According to contractors the average
pay for workers at the dam is 60 cents
an hour or S5.44 day. Even granting
that climatic conditions may be rather
strenuous at the damsite. wages like this
are not to be despised at any time, and
particularly at this time.
The circulars asserted that board bills,
ranging from S1.65 a day for single men,
to $50 month for married men, justi-
fled a strike being called. The number
Of married men who would be perfectly
satisfied to get their meals for $50 a
month is legion. And single fellows are
well content to pay $1.65 day for their
meals if they are good meals, and all re-
ports from the dam indicate that they are.
Workers at the dam are to be congrat-
ulated for their good sense in ignoring
the l. w. w. plea. A strike would hurt
only the workers. 1t might delay the
work for few days, but the large num-
Der of men willing to take any sort of
work would assure failure for the strik-
ers almost before they started.
