BANKER HAS
FULL FAITH
IN PRESIDENT

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5. tU.Pl -
Voicing an expression of faith in
President Roosevelt, DR.. A. H. Gil
annini, executive chairman OF
Bank of America, brought to a
close the two-day meeting of the
western division of the United
States Chamber of Commerce.
The convention which adjourned
with a sweeping denunclation OF
Communism, was followed today by
a short session of the California
State Chamber.
Recognizing the overwhelming
popularity" of the President, Gi-
annini said the future of banking
in his hands seems reassurlng.
"'I think his speech before the
American Bankers association a
few weeks ago was reaSsuring, and
showed unmistakable signs that in
the new relations between the ad-
miniStration and bankers OF the
United States, rancor has yielded
to a sense of reality" Giannini
said.
The banker spoke against the
creation of central bank.
The regional group in resolu-
ton called on the President and
congress to institute "a campaign
to break up Communism within
the nation"
The chamber recommended that
the Communist party be outlawed
that postal laws be amended to
make it a felony to distribute
Communistic or similar literature
or periodicals through the mails
that foreign-born Communists be
deported and others restrained
from entering the country, that
citizenship rights be Withdrawn
from naturalized aliens who es-
pouse Communism, and that al
aliens be required to undergo iden-
tification and registration tests.

Both Bureaus continued TO send

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SOFT BED

Whats the matter?" grunted the
pig.
Il didn't know anything was the

"Oh, yes, there Isl can easily tell
when anything is the matter with
you said the jolly, fat pig. You
aren't twinkling your pink nose and
when that doesn't twinkle I know
something is wrong. Now tell me
the truth. isn't there something the
matter?"
Yes" said Uncle Wiggily, there
is, but I didn't want TO say anything
about it at home, for didn't want
to worry my wife or Nurse Jane.
thought I'd keep it to myself. But
you found out"
Il haven't found out what, exactly
is the matter grunted Mr.. TWlsty
tail, but I know there is something
What is it?'
Il didn't Sleep very we'll last
night" answered the rabbit so
guess I'm a little cross and peeVish
as Baby Bunty is, sometimes"
why didn't you sleep?' asked Mr.
Twistytail. Did any Of the little
rabbits have toothache, as Billie
Wagtail did, and cry and keep you
awake all night
Bed Too Hard
No said Mr.. Longears. The
reason I didn't sleep was because
my bed was too hard I like a soft
bed. But Nurse Jane said her bee
was too hard, so I gave her my soft
one and took her hard one. anc
last night l hardly slept a wink"
Then why don't you get yourself
2 new, soft bed?' asked the pig.
1T seems a waste Of money to dc
that" spoke Uncle Wiggily. 9"

Uncle Sam Is

In Saar Basin

GENEVA Dec. 5. U.R)-The Saar

an extraordinary meeting of the

special Saar committee Of three
comprises Franco-German accords
providing adequate means for re-
payment of French governmental
and commercial holdings in the
Saar in the event the territory
chooses reunion with Germany in
the January 13 plebiscite.

CHRISTMAS SEALS

Equal in Importance with holly
wreathes, evergreen trees, possibly equal
to old Santa Claus himself in expressing
the true spirit of Christmas, Is the little
Christmas seal, sale of which provides
funds for carrying on the warfare against
the great white plague"
The seals have already made their ap-
pearance in this city and the desirabllity
Of buying and using them cannot be
stressed too much.
A Christmas gift which does not car
~ the little Christmas seal Is really lack
ing in finish. The seal is like the "ster-
ling" stamped upon silver, or the trade
mark of reliable firm.
This year more than ever before the
Christmas seals have a special attraction.
They bear a replica of the little cottage
at Saranac, New York. in which DR.. Ed
ward Livingston Trudeau, father" Of
the modern rest cure treatment for tuber-
culosis, started his great work in 1885.
Money derived from the sale of Christ
mas seals is used in fighting tuberculosis
among the needy. Each year, despite the
advancement made in combating this
disease, it claims thousands of victims
in all parts of the country. There are
other thousands who are given fight
ING chance to become cured, through the
money derived from the sale of the
Christmas seals.
If you have not already received
quantity of Christmas seals, the chances
are that you will get them soon. You are
asked to keep them and remit their cost
to the county tuberculosis association. If
you are unable to pay for them, you
should, in all fairness, return them to the
association. In past years some who
could we'll afford to keep the stamps and
remit for them, have kept them but ne
elected to send in the money for them.
The cost of the Christmas seals place
them within the reach of even the most
modest purse. They Indicate that those
using them are willing to make small
sacrifice in order to help others less for
tunate than themselves.
The work made possible by the money
derived from the sale of Christmas seals
cannot be too highly commended. 1t IS
one in which every citizen should be
proud to share

Until the fleet reaches San Fran
cisco Saturday, the two forces will
wage mimic warfare off the coast
with tho aircraft participating as
combatants. Stimulating an invad-
ing force, the black fleet will strike
at two state points while the blue

"enemy" before it comes within
gun range of the coast.

laughed Mr.. Twistytail. Il will tell
you how to make a soft bed out of
your hard bed and it will not cost
anything
"How?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
Come with me-" invited the pig.
He led Uncle Wiggily out of the
woods to a large field which, just
then, had no snow on it. In the field
we're many weeds that had been
made hard and dry by Jack Frost.
Going to one of these weeds, MIR.
TWistytail picked from it a brown
ped, like a pea-pOd, only larger.
Breaking this pod open, the pig
gentleman showed Uncle Wiggily
that it was filled with a lot Of soft,
fluffy white stuff like cotton. II was
almost as fine and soft as bunch
of silk threads
"Therer grunted the pig. Gather

THE PITY OF 1T

With me gone there won't be so much
expense Leaving note containing this
sentence behind her, a 13-year-old Oak
land school girl yesterday left her school,
walked to a hotel and climbing to an up
per story, jumped to her death in the
street below
In addition the note is said to have in
ferred that the girl had quarrel with
her brother which might have spurred
her on to her rash act.
One might well ask what we are com
ing to when youngsters of this age and
even of more tender years seek self-de-
Struction. 1t is no unusual thing for
newspapers to record suicides of boys
and girls in the grammar school ages.
Juvenile troubles which a generation
ago never lasted more than day at the
most and were laughed over in later
years, are now taken so seriously that
they cause the most disgraceful of all
acts.
What is the cause of it? One answer
is as good as another and the viewpoint
of one is as good as that of another
Our own guess is lack of close contact
between parents and children and laXi-
ty in family discipline With no wish to
accuse unjustly the parents of the girl
in the present instance, and without hav-
ing any reason to believe that they are in
any way to blame, generally speaking we
believe that incidents of this nature are
caused by leaving discipline to others or
allowing it to be non-eXistent.
1t is all right to preach "self-eXpres-
sion for children but it has its limits the
same as anything else. If parents per-
nit their children to come and go at will
if they do not demand and obtain respect
for and obedience to parental authority,
they can expect tragedy and disgrace to
be the result. The youngster who can
steer a clear course from childhood to
maturity without parental guidance, is
indeed rare-in fact we don't believe he
exists.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 up A
bureaucratic controversy over how

during the Hoover administration,
is being smoothed by Mrs. Roose-
welt.
And by the comparatively simple
means of appointing women to high
government posts.
The fight developed between the
Children's Bureau Of the Labor De
partment and the United States
Public Health Service with the
medical associations taking a swing
now and then because the squabble
developed when the children's
bureau sought TO advise mothers
how to keep their children well.
The Health Service thought pro
lection Of child health should be
handled by the physicians in that
agency. The Children's Bureau
thought it should care for child
health and that the Health Service
should confine its activities to pre-
venting the importation Of foreign
diseases by Immigrants and animals
