boys and girls were having such
fun they didn't hear Uncle Wiggily
calling to them. He shouted louder
but it was Of no use.
"Oh, dear!" he said. Something
will happen. They don't hear me-"
III help you shout!" barked
the Old Sea Dog prancing along
Just then. He called together with
Uncle Wiggily but both their voices
were not loud enough.
You must blow a loud horn, "
barked the Dog. They'll hear
that"
But where can I get a loud
horn to blow in time to call them
back?" asked the rabbit.
Here is one" said the Sea Dog.
He picked up from the beach a
curved and twisted horn, like the
conch horns of the West Indies.
II was larger than your two fists
and was pink inside. One end
was small and the other end large,
like a trumpet. Blow thati" bark

Uncle Wiggily.

Wiggily and the Sea Dog held the
shell while the Saw Fish sawed
Once hole was made on the small
end of the strange horn, Uncle

STATUS OF
RESTAURANT
DEBATABLE

CLEVELAND, July 26. - When
is restaurant not a restaurant?
Restaurateurs wonder and SCI
do the legal minds, who can't
answer the question, according to
T. T. Frankenburg, Secretary OF
the Ohio State Restaurant assoc
iation.
Frankenberg told conventioners
at their three-day session that
there are four definitions of a
restaurant, all of them legal and
all different.
Responsibility for bringing the
condition to light, he said, rests
with the NRA. After many
months a restaurant code was
signed only to be held up because
nobody could decide on what was
restaurant, according to Frank
enberg.
Here are the four conflicting
definitions:
/. A restaurant is building
without beds where meals or
lunches are served for consider
alton. (843-2 General Ohio Code)
2. A restaurant is a place where
at least 10 people per day are
served hot meals. (National Res
taurant code-stipulating that a
place serving nine people three
times a day is not restauranto
3. A restaurant is a place where
hot meals are served twice a day
Liquor control act)
4. A restaurant is a place where
81 per cent of the gross receipts
must come from the serving OF
hot meals. (What the association
calls a restaurant.)

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF

with all the nations of Europe today
straining to the utmost the preparations
for possible war, and with all the diplo-
macy directed to the end of trying to
prevent war, and hiding the real status
of affairs, there is a condition in the Old
World, that it is impossible to see clear
ly but which is most menacing to the
peace of the world"
That paragraph, copied from The I'M
perial Valley Press of July 27, 1914
just 20 years ago-fits perfectly into the
present picture of conditions in Europe.
The day after it was written, July %,
1914, Austria declared war on Serbia,
starting off the World war with such
disastrous results.
The man who smokes a pipe while sit
ting on keg of gunpowder is in no
greater danger of causing an explosion
than is the present political set-up in
Europe, and especially so since the de-
velopments in Austria yesterday, which
cost the life of Engelbert Dollfuss, mid
get chancellor and for two years virtual
dictator of Austria.
Dollfuss dead is likely to be more eff
fective in forming united Austria than
Dollfuss alive was able to do. He was
murdered in cold blood and the world is
shocked at the ruthless ending which
came to the diminutive statesman who
put off the use of force in curbing the
terrorism in his country as long as he
could capitulating only the day before
yesterday when he ordered the execution
of two Nazis convicted of bombings.
In some Austrian quarters the blame
for the outrage is placed, morally at
least, on the doorstep of the German
Nazis, who have for long time been
dreaming a dream of an Austro-German
Nazi state, a dream that is quite promi-
nent in the mind of Adolph Hitler.
Against this threat of merger of
Austria and Germany which would really
amount to absorption of the former by
the latter, stands the figure of Musso-
lini. II Duce rushed between $4,000 and
100000 soldiers to the Austro-Italian
border yesterday, determined to carry
out his pledge to uphold the indepen-
dence of Austria. How strongly he is
going to figure in the results can be
imagined from the fact that the wife and
children of the slain Dollfuss were
guests of ii Duce when the chancellor
was slain and Dollfuss was scheduled
for weekend conference with Musso-
lini at Rome.
Mussolini is the strong figure. Anx-
ious for peace he is ready for war He
will not hesitate to cross over into Aus
tria. Such step would in all probabil-
ity automatically be taken by Germany
as an excuse to mobilize and any mobi-
lization by Germany is certain to give
France bad case of the jitters, neces-
stating mobilization of its forces.
The set-up is perfect for repetition
of 20 years ago. 1t may not come. The
world fervently hopes that it will not
come. Much depends upon Mussolini.
Hitler would be insane to oppose Italian
Intervention in Austria but he may be
just insane enough to do it in his ego
tistical idea that Germany must again
be supreme.
England, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yu-
goslavia???
One thing, there should be no ques-
ton marks after the name of the United
States. This is one in which we certain

better appetite. Food and wine
complement each other so when
he eats more he drinks more wine
and after the meal his digestion
has been improved rather than
impaired.
The fact that strong liquor is
less in demand also means that
cafes are not called upon to i'm
port much whisky which now is
almost never drunk by a native
Frenchman.

BURNHAM on COMMUNISM


In the course of his address at the
cnampef of commerce dinner last night.
George Burnham, congressman from
TINS district, who had occasion in San
FRANCISCO to witness what was practic-
ally communism in action, made some
pertinent remarks, of which the follow
ing is an extract.
American institutions and American
civilization are in greater danger today
than at any time since the foundation of
the republic. ! recently visited San
francisco, where the rule of the mob was
threatening our very political and eco
nomic foundation.
We find great bodies of men in con-
tempt of or in defiance of law; ignoring
all legal processes; setting their own de-
slres above all questions of legal re-
stralnt; seeking to enforce their own de-
mands by power of numbers; ruthlessly
tramplng upon the rights of others and
resorting to violence to person and prop
erty.
we cannot tolerate Communism. Boil
shevlsm, Sovietism, anarchy, autocracy
nor injustice.
"Organized government is the founda-
ton stone of our civilization and we
should do all in our power to support it.
If men, in consideration of guaran-
tee of their safety, security and liberty,
are not willing to support the govern
ment and obey the laws of the land, then
they are absolutely out of sympathy and
out of step with our civilization and it
behooves us to assist in ridding this
country of them.
I'VE must preserve the priceless tradi-
tions of freedom and justice, and vigor-
ously combat the despotic concept that
hol 70
Ours must ever remain government of
the people, by the people and for the
people"
Such flat arraignment of the "alien
radicals" whom Governor Merriam
charged with responsibility for the San
francisco general strike is even more
forceful when it is known that Congress-
man Burnham is a naturalzed American
citizen.
He is a direct challenge to the "alien
radical" who believes that American
ideals and American traditions should be
cast into the discard, and like thousands
of other naturalized citizens knows that
whatever its faults may be, the United
States of America not only offers the
greatest opportunity to those who seek
true liberty under law, but that it must
be protected from those within who
would annul that opportunity.
