bit children, with some OF their
friends and neighbors who had come
on vacation with them, were having
fun at the seashore.
"Oh. look at the pretty clam shell

picked up something near the edge
of the splashing ocean.

All of a sudden Baby Bunty be-

Whats the matter?" asked Uncle
Wiggily who, after having helped
his wife and Nurse Jane to get SET
tied in the seashore cottage, had
hoped down to the sand to watch
the children at play. whats the

crying?'

Bunty cried"

began to bark loudly.
What's the matter?" asked Uncle
Wiggily.
"Oh, my little brother Peetie fell
in the hole and he's down under the
water!" whined Jackie.
MY goodnessl" shouted Uncle
Wiggily He ran to the hole, reached
down in it and pulled Peetie safely
out. Peetie wasn't hurt but he was
all wet, so Mr.. Longears put him in
the sun to dry.
Want Boat Ride
II think, Wiggy, my dear" said
the rabbit gentlemans wife, after
this, that you had better take the
children for a boat ride. They are
so excited, this first day of vacation,
at the shore there is no telling what
they will do next Take them for
boat ride"
II have no boat" said Uncle Wig
gily.
You can easily make one out of
a door," said the rabbit lady.
"Out of a what?" asked Uncle
Wiggily.
mot out of a WIAT-out of a
DOOR," laughed Mrs. Longears.
There is an old, wooden door out
back of the cottage. 1t will hold you
and the children as we'll as boat
would and it can't tip over"
"Oh, Unkie Wig!" shouted Baby
Bunty. Take us for ride on the
door boatP
Il will if we can get it into the
water" said the bunny gentleman.
This wasn't hard to do with many
bunny paws to help carry it down to
the beach. 1t was big wide door,
and when it had been pushed into
the water it floated like a raft.
"All aboard!" shouted Buster and
he and the other rabbits and many
other animal children climbed on.
Take them for a ride, Wiggy!
said his wife.
What shall I use for a sail?''
asked Uncle Wiggily.
Take this old sun umbrella" said
the rabbit lady pointing to a large
red one stuck in the sand.
THE very thlngl" said Mr.. Long
ears. He jumped on the door boat
with the open umbrella, the wind
blew on it and soon they were all
having a fine ride in the ocean wa
| ter. The animal children laughed
and shouted with glee, watching the
fishes swimming around them.
And if you will stop the safety

fish by his whiskers, I'll tell you

might crash on landing. The Ma
tional Geographic Society not only
has equipped the exploring party
with individual parachutes but has
little parachutes for each one Of the
scientific instruments in the gon-
dola. The gondola also has para
chute, like the one tried out on air.
planes.
But if Kepner or Stevens should
be forced to use their own para
chutes at 10000 feet they would not
survive the descent. Scientists ex-
plain they would suffocate to death
even before being stricken by the
sub-zero temperatures.
If the gondola parachute failed to
open and the flyers had to resort to
their own, the crew would glimpse
the gondola speeding toward the
earth at 200 or $50 miles an hour
for the first few seconds, then at
500 miles until 1t struck the dense
atmosphere few miles high. It
would then slow down to 200 miles
and hit the earth at that rate.
On the bottom of the gondola, ac-
cording to the Geographic Society,
is a bag which can be inflated by the
flyers as they descend. The idea is
that the gondola on landing is like
ly to slap the ground pretty hard.
The bag will give 1t a rebound which
will prevent damage to the instru-
ments.
For the sake of farmers in the
flight area, the ballast Is lead dust

WATER SHORTAGE GOSSIP

Recently woman resident of the city
called this office to state that for long
tlme 1t has been her custom to place a
sinall vessel of water in her yard where
plrdS or passing animals desiring q
drink might obtain it.
She was not sure whether she should
continue the custom in view of the pres
ent water shortage, but was advised that
the small amount of water used in this
way could hardly be construed as vast
age. Talking the matter over with CITY
officials afterward, they agreed that
birds and animals do not require large
quantities of water and caring for their
needs Is by no means wasting it.
From Brawley comes information that
dead birds have been found around
homes which formerly supplied them
with water but discontinued doing so be-
cause of the shortage To us this ap-
pears to be short-sighted policy. 1t is
not the pan of water set out for pets
that will cause trouble, but ignoring the
request not to wash cars or sprinkle
lawns and to go as sparingly as possible
with domestic water and in caring for
trees and plants.
While these hot days make a lawn
shower for the youngsters highly desir-
able, this practice is also frowned upon
1t is hard on the youngsters, but their
baths should be confined to something
less wasteful than a lawn shower.
While commenting on these phases of
the water shortage, it is in order to urge
parents to see that youngsters do not
waste water at residences which are
closed during the day because most of
the family is out of the valley. The po-
lice have received complaints Of young
sters turning on taps at homes where
the family is away, in order to get a
drink or ducking, and have either for
gotten or neglected to shut off the wat
er after using it.
Anyone observing such practices is
urged to report it Immediately to the
police. Juvenile offenders will not be
arrested, but they will be made to de-
sist; to realize the consequences of
their carelessness and will be warned to
avoid repetition of it. Every citizen
is urged to cooperate in conserving wat
er and where there is nobody at home
during the day neighbors are asked to
keep an eye on the property to see that
water is not wasted.
