and soon the little lost and almost

but he sneezed a little. Everyone

UNCLE WIGGLY'S FROZEN
DUCK

Uncle Wiggily didn't know just
where to look for that little lost
duck boy, Jimmie Wibblewobble
But the rabbit gentleman had look
ed for some of his own little lost
children at one time or another and
so, as he hoped along, he made UP
his mind to try some of the ways
he had found best when seeking
Buster, Jingle, Jangle or even Baby
Bunty.
I'll go to the Hollow Stump
School. first of all said the bun
ny gentleman.
Having made up his mind to do
this, Uncle Wiggily felt better. He
was sure he would find the lost
Jimmie. He turned and waved one
paw at Mrs. Wibblewobble, the duck
lady, who was very much worried
about her little boy.
III find him for you" called the
rabbit gentleman.
II hope you do" quacked Mrs.
Wibblewobble.
The Lady Mouse Teacher in the
Hollow Stump School was hearing
her pupils read when Uncle Wiggily
hoped in.

Alice, who were Jimmie's duck sis
tiers.
Yes, lost went on the rabbit
gentleman. You knew that, didn't
you?" he asked Lulu and Alice.
"Oh, yes" quacked Lulu. I'VE
knew Jimmie didn't come home
from school yesterday afternoon
and when Alice and 1 went to bed
he hadn't come home yet. But I
thought maybe he came home after
Alice and 1 were asleep and that
maybe he got up early and went to
school ahead of US"
That's what l thought, added
Alice.

said Uncle Wiggily "and his mo-

TINE TO SQUELCH THEM

Rum running. which some foolishly be-
lieved would be thing of the past with
the repeal of prohibition, appears to be
giving the administration no little cause
for thought.
Announcement was made yesterday by
the President that the forces of the navy
will be used to supplement those of the
customs service and coast guard IN COM
batting liquor smugglers by land and by
sea.
Far from ending the smuggling men,
ace, the repeal of prohibition seems to
have given new impetus to this INDUS
try. There is money to be made in BRING
ing foreign liquors into the United States
and those who have no scruples ABOUT
violating the law in order to increase
their wealth, have not been slow to rec
ognize the fact.
That it is time for the government to
act with stern measures, is indicated by
the impertinent challenge given it by
Canadian rum runner. An agent of
the Mogul, reputedly a mother ship" for
smugglers, boldly demanded that the ship
be given the privilege of docking at Los
Angeles and placing its cargo of 100000
cases of liquor in warehouse. In return
for this favor smuggling activities would

1t is not to be considered for a single
moment that the government is going to
make trades with the smugglers. 1t cam
not do So There is only one answer to be
given them and that is determined cam
paign to drive them from the seas.
Apparently Mr.. Roosevelt recognizes
this and gave the order for the navy to
cooperate with other agencies of the gov
eminent in waging war on the smugglers.
Navy planes are to be used in scouting
out the rum runners. Their location will
then be made known to the coast guard,
which will be waiting for them as soon as
they make their appearance within the
12-mile limit.
The story of the governments futile
efforts to curb smugglers during the pro-
hibition era has not been told but it
would doubtless show the United States
in an undesirable light. That is its eff
forts were not too successful, because it
refused to use all the resources at its
command. Such story must not be re-
peated under the new deal" The gov
eminent has the means to put an end to
smuggling and should not hesitate to use
them.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - The
diplomatic sensation caused by the
resignation of Francis White as
United States minister to Czecho-
slovakia was intensified when it was
reported that he had bought re-

started for Prague.
Although some prominent Czechs
limited about an insult having been
committed, Whites friends insisted
he bought the tWo-Way ticket as q
guard against further depreciation
of the dollar. White lived in hotel
in Prague, travelled extensively
through Europe and spent little
time at his post.
