animal children, or other children,
for that matter, from asking ques-

sugar pudding or something very
good.
1t was while carrying the empty
pudding dish back into the bunga-
low that Uncle Wiggily let it fall
and break. I mean the dish fell and
broke, the porch didn't.
do you mean to say you can
really mend this broken dish?" ask
ed Nurse Jane.
Certainly I can" answered Mr..
Longears. please get me some wa
ter, Nurse Jane" and he picked up
the last of the pieces Of the broken
dish.
"Waterl" exclaimed the muskrat
lady. Don't you mean glue? I've
mended broken dishes myself, with
glue, but never with water. Water
won't stick the pieces together"
"Oh, think it will" said Mr.
Longears, twinkling his pink nose in
a way just the least bit proud
which he seldom did. "Just get me
a cup of water, jamie, and I'll show
you"
Wondering and feeling quite GER
tain Uncle Wiggily was fooling her
Nurse Jane brought out a cup OF
water. The animal children had run
off to play in the woods before il
would be dark and time for supper

FINNS ARE GOOD

Finland is an odd nation composed of
unusually odd persons.
Incidental to its separation from Rus
STA and the establishment of its indie
pendence following the World war, Fin
land borrowed S9,000,000. Perhaps we
should say it borrowed from the United
States, but that seems superfluous in
view of the fact that we were the only
lending nation then.
On December Is a payment of 1929, 623
is due the United States from Finland.
Yesterday the Finnish minister, L. As
from, visited with Acting Secretary of
State Phillips and informed him that
the Finnish government will make
prompt payment of the installment due.
Since the debt was funded as S9,000,-
600, Finland has not missed payment
to the United States. 1t is the only one
of the nations which borrowed total of
S11,000,000, 200, to make its payments
regularly and without squabbling.
While other and greater 90 nations
have been seeking every means to dodge
payments, and some have declared out
right that they will not pay, little Fin
land considers a debt debt and an af-
fair of honor which must be met That
is why we say Finland is an odd nation,
composed of unusually odd persons
They may be odd but it would be nicer
world if there were more like them.

THE big fire and explosion which
nearly ruined the records of the
Russian embassy was a fake; the
blaze occurred in waste basket;
the records were not endangered;
there was no blast, and lot of
people got excited over nothing, ac-

the state department.

From the Mail

Willie j. Dodson, of 1881
Sherman Avenue doesn't think
much of the Hollywood actors,
that is the younger ones. He
has his decided preferences and
most Of them are shadow artists
who have had stage training and
experience. His letter is a little
too long to reprint although I
agree with most of it.
On the other hand O. T. W.
writes that too much space is
given by writer's and commenta-
tors on the movies to the doings
of the Barrymores. Less for the
royal acting family and more for
the younger screen stars whom
he names, is his suggestion.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 25.-Dy-
manic Brian Ahearne has sue
cumbed to the movies at last.
A brown derby sensation and
the goal of eager producers when
he was out here with THE Bar
retts of Wimpole Street." the
young Irishman temporarily gave
Hollywood the slip. His return
here day before yesterday, how
ever, found him talked into sub
mission.
He has signed that Paramount
contract and he starts to work op-
posite Marlene Dietrich in "The
Song of Songs" a week from to-
day. Frederic March, thus re-
leased, will be asked to play one
of the leading roles in '"The Story
of Temple Drake"
= Shy of publicity and rather
fearful of Hollywood. the tall
Ahearne is the. object of much
interest among the film folk.
When he came into the Para
mount lunch room yesterday with
Marlene Dietrich and Director
Reuben Mammoulian, dozens of
stares were leveled at him.
Besides Miss Dietrich, he'll work
in his first picture with the vet
eran Alison Skipworth and with
Hardie Albright.
OF course you'll not need re-
minding that Ahearne played Rob-
ert Browning to Katharine Con-
nel's Elizabeth Barrett in the
stage version of the love story
of these two poets.
His younger brother, Patrick
Ahearne, made a recent trip to
Hollywood to test out for Connie
Bennett"s lead, but didn't fit the
role.
