at the rabbit, you don't seem very

on the sled. The sail was still furled
around the mast for it was not yet
time to use it.
Clear the track" barked the Po-
lice Dog who was keeping order on
the hill. Clear the track for Uncle
Wiggily's flying sled!"
All the other coasters who were
getting ready to go down or Who
having slid down were walking up,

long hill, leaving a clear track for
| Mr.. Longears and the duck.
Here we go!" said the bunny
gentleman as he gave the sled a
| push. %
And soon we'll come sailing
back" quacked Mr.. WibbleWobble.
Il hope So" said Uncle Wiggily.
Down, down, down they coasted
on the sled, going faster and faster
and faster as all sleds coast. This
was what Uncle Wiggily expected.
But it was at the end Of the slide
he was anxious about. Then he
would unfurl the sail and see if the
wind would blow him back up hill.
"Oh, what jolly ride!" quacked
! the duck. DO you think we shall
sail up as fast as we sailed down,
Mr.. Longears?'
Il hope So" answered the bunny
! gentleman.
"Whizz Whooz Whaaz!" They
were at the bottom of the hill. In
the tWinkling of his eyes to say no
! thing of the twinkle of his pink
nose, Uncle Wiggily shook out the
sail. The wind was blowing hard.
Now if it only blows us back up
the hill everything will be fine and
dandy cried the rabbit. And L
| shall have invented a great sled.
Everybody will want one of my fly
ing sleds,'
But alaS Instead of blowing up
! hill the wind was blowing down
hill. It filled Uncle Wiggily's sail
and instead of pushing him up hill
| it carried him away over the flat
fields and pastures and towards the
woods. Faster and faster the flying
sled was blown along on the level
ground.
"Where are we going?" quacked
the duck.
Il don't know" answered Uncle
Wiggily. This ride is as strange to
me as it is to you
why, look, there's your bunga-
low!' shouted MI. Wibblewobble
And there, surely enough, it was
the hollow stump home of the bun
ny. The flying sled instead of going
up hill (Which I don't believe ii
could have done) had taken the
rabbit home from the coasting hill
But, anyhow, he and the duck
had a fine time, and If the gas stove

HE CAN'T SCARE US

DR.. Desirieus Papp, noted German sci
! enlist, lives up to his name when he
draws picture of what man will look
like 500,000,000 years from now
He gives us a description of men 10
feet tall with X-ray eyes, high and mas
sive head, but bald, no teeth, thin and
pale lips, a brain able to receive and
transmit electromagnetic waves, and
eyes able to see through things they
weren't intended to see.
There is nothing strange about such
parsonage. Even children know that we
do not have to wait 500,000,000 years for
such a creature to develop
The day we swiped the peanuts from
Tony Capellos stand just as Officer Dill
lon rounded the corner, we recognized
the fact that the arm of the law was 10
Feet tall and as he happened to have re-
moved his heavy helmet to mop his brow
it was no trick to discern that he was
bald as baby'S heel.
As for X-ray eyes, what school boy
doesn't know that teacher is able to see
right through a geography to the nickel
novel that 1t Is supposed to hide? Teach
ers had such ability in days gone by and
in all probability have it down much
finer now.
A brain able to receive and send cleo
!ro-magnetic waves is not new either. 1t
has been known for years under the
name of "a little bird" The folks at
home would always know when neigh
bor's window was broken, despite dis
tance and the absence of telephone.
The little bird" was the medium which
DR.. Papp just dresses up in a new name.
AS for the absence of teeth-that is
nothing to awe those who for years have
been accustomed to see babies and grand
fathers.
If DIR. Papp wished to scare us he had
better start off on new track Instead
If being away ahead of his time we sus-
pect him of being nothing more than
technocrat.
Oh yes, he says there will be few men
to develop because mosquitoes will have
eliminated most of us anyhow. A nation
that has survived the New Jersey brand
and the variety to be found just outside
New Orleans, has nothing to fear from
mosquitoes.

The majority of us thought prohibition
ridiculous, but it is doubtful if any of its
phases were more ridiculous than the
law under which liquor control is now be-
ing attempted in California
Under the decision in the Ukiah test
case, rendered yesterday, the superior
court ruled that hard liquor may not be
consumed in public dining rooms; beer
and wine provided they are served with
a meal, may be consumed. A sandwich
is to be considered a meal regardless ct
whether or not it is consumed by the pa
iron. Dining room employees may not
procure from any source, Intoxicating IL
quor and serve it to patrons. Space
which is really part of the dining
room, but merely partitioned off of it, is
really part Of the dining room so that
liquor sold in the space" may not be
consumed in the dining room.
The judge who rendered the decision,
was OF course merely interpreting the
law as he found it. His decision is to be
appealed and taken through the highest
courts for their decision.
The inconsistencies arising from the
decision are so apparent as to need little
comment, particularly the ruling that
sandwich is meal even though it is not
consumed. Many hungry man could be
fed by a single sandwich under this rul-
ing.
This undesirable state of affairs is a
result of the adoption of amendment No.
2 at the election in November, 1882 The
Press, though opposed to prohibition,
urged the defeat of this amendment, ar
guing that it was putting the cart before
the horse, in that it was attempting to
lepiSlate for conditions that could only
be the result of repeal and that the prop
er time to legislate for these conditions
was after it could be ascertained what
they might be.
The state liquor control laws, born out
Of hasty desire to get rid of prohibi-
ton, promise plenty of litigation and
misunderstanding before they can be in
