DR.. Butler regrets that these
figures even do not tell the whole
story. He says they take no &C
count of the stupendous addition
to these losses which have been
and are the result of the economic
international war which is raging
today with great violence. Unless
the worlds leadership and the
worlds craftsmanship can bring
that economic war to a quick end,
it must result and can only result
in happenings which in effect
constitute both national and in
ternational ecooomic suicide.-Ex-

GIRL BREAKS
BONES EASILY

MUNCIE, Ind, Dec. 6 U.P-The
jar from an unassuming feminine
sneeze broke both arms of Mary
Margaret Davis, Is, as she rested
her hands on her hips, accounting
for two OF 18 such breaks suffered
in the past three years.
The girl, suffering from tuber-
culosis Of the bone marrow, has
been handicapped almost con-
stantly with broken members.
Asked to enumerate the occa-
sionS on which she suffered the
breaks, Mary Margaret was able
to account for all but six of them.
The first break occurred when
she fell out of bed. Twice the
right arm has been broken and
once the left one when she rolled
over on them in bed.
Two falls on skates have con-
tributed broken arms, and sneez-
ing has caused three other breaks.
One evening as she was helping to
clear the table of dishes, her arm
snapped when she picked up a
plate.
A fall downstairs accounted for
another. Her latest break occurred
on the fourth day of school when
her father playfully grabbed her
by the right arm, swapping it at
the wrist.
The girl has been unable to at
tend school regularly. Two years
ago she was forced to quit Nc
Kinley junior high school here.
She tried again last year, but af-
ter two weeks broke an arm and
had to drop out. After waiting six
weeks for her arm to heal, she en-
rolled again only to suffer another
broken arm after three days.
Mary Margaret now confines her
activities to reading. listening to
the radio and attending movies.

GOOD JOB, WE'LL DONE

Imperial Valley has every reason TO be
proud of the highly efficient manner in
which its drinking water project to re-
lieve distress during the recent water
shortage, was carried out.
The water cost .016 cents per gallon
when all factors are reekoned, against an
estimated cost ranging as high as five
cents per gallon when the project was
conceived. The major part of the cost
was in the distribution, amounting to
SAC, As for labor This sum was paid
to men taken from the relief rolls to
work on the water project and helped
them to support their families over
considerable portion of the summer.
1t was an emergency project, with no
well-defined path to be followed in or
ganizing and developing it. Under such
conditions the public is frequently called
upon to bear heavy expense, due to waste
and inefficiency, and it sometimes hap
pens that graft rears its ugly head.
That there were no such conditions
here is a tribute to DR.. \. +. Dupont,
who was asked to take charge of the
project, organized it, developed it and
carried it through to a highly successful
and meritorious completion. 1t was
task in public service performed by DR..
Dupont without compensation and at
times at the cost of neglect to his private
business. He is entitled at least, to the
thanks Of Imperial Valley for the fine
work he has done

GUARDING THE CORNERS

Decision of the city council to place
boulevard stop signs at intersections of
State and Broadway with Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh streets, is to be commended.
For several years The Press has warn
ed of the dangers at Sixth and State
street, the corner with which it is most
familiar There is every reason to be-
lieve that equal danger exists at the 9TH
er intersections.
The city has been fortunate indeed that
there has not been a major traffic trag
edy at Sixth and State streets Trucks
and pleasure cars tear along State street
into the intersection from the east and
from the west, while pleasure cars follow
their example as they travel north and
south on Sixth street.
Narrow escapes from serious coils
ions have been numerous and when the
fire siren sounds a "crack-up" at tina
corner has always been feared. 1t is
only by extreme good fortune that it has
not materialiZed.
Warnings have proved Intellectual
There still exist many who must drive
along streets in the business section at
speeds ranging from % miles per hour
up to whatever they can get away with.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S KITCHEN
STOVE

Uncle Wiggily was eating his
breakfast in the hollow stump bun
galow one morning. The rabbit
gentleman was very hungry and as
he came to the table his wife said:
"Wiggy, you are going to have a
treat this morning"
What sort of a treat?" asked Mr.
Longears.
Cabbage pancakes with carrot
maple sugar on them," said the rab-
bit lady. Nurse Jane is out in the
kitchen cooking the pancakes now"
That's fine!" said Uncle Wiggily
IF there is one thing 1 like it is
cabbage pancakes with carrot maple
sugar sauce"
When Nurse Jane brought in the
cabbage pancakes, she said:
You can't eat these, Uncle Wig
gily."
Why not?" asked the rabbit.
Because they aren't bake d
enough" she answered. "They are
half raw. I wouldn't let you eat
them"
Well" said Uncle .Wiggily, "if
they are only half cooked why don't
you cook the other half? Then I
can eat them. That's no trouble" F."
"rll Do 1t"
THE trouble is the kitchen stove, "
squeaked the muskrat lady house
keeper. THE stove doesn't get hot
enough. I think it is all stopped up
with SCOT and ashes. The other day
I tried to bake a chocolate cake but
it turned out to be a rice pudding.
The stove needs cleaning and then
I can bake you some fine pancakes" "
"If the stove needs cleaning, 1
know who is going to do 1t, said the
rabbit uncle.
"Who?" asked his wife.
Il will" answered Uncle Wiggily,
IS bravely as if he was telling one
of the Bad Chaps to run away and
not bother him.

And I must have pancakes" said
Uncle Wiggily.
So, when his wife and Nurse Jane
had gone out he put on his old,
ragged clothes and began to clean
the stove. He took out much SCOT,
dirt and ashes and soon his paws
were all smudged black and so was
his face
Just as he finished cleaning the
stove, and when his face and paws
looked like part of the stovepipe, a
knock sounded at the back door

Mr.. TWistytail, Uncle Wiggily open

it was the WOLF! The wolf had

when Uncle Wiggily, all black and

"Yais, sab, yo sho' done did,

HONOR THY FATHER

On the basis of past performances we
have never been able to consider Elliott
Roosevelt any terrific credit to his illus
trious father, and his interview with
newspapermen yesterday as reported by
the United Press emphasizes this belief.
He was discussing a scuffle he had
with news cameraman who attempted
to take pictures of him and his baby. Il
don't give a damn what the newspapers
print about the old man and his politics.
but when they start taking pictures of my
baby against my wishes | am going to do
something about it," he is quoted as say
ing.
No son who has the proper respect for
his father would refer to him publicly
(and for publication in such disre-
spectful manner. The fact that the faith
er holds the highest office within the
ability of his fellow-citizens to give him
should prompt a son to be more than
ordinarily careful in referring to him.
Elliott Roosevelt as not only referring
to his father but to the President of the
United States. The young man not only
mas flllal duty toward his father to con-
slider but he must also give consideration
TO the respect which millions of Ameri-
can citizens have for their Chief EXecu-
tive
We would resent having any foreigner
refer 70 the President of the United
States in a disrespectful manner and the
same applies to any American citizen,
not excluding the Presidents son.
Mr.. Roosevelt is indeed fortunate in
that millions of his countrymen, regard
less Of race, creed or political affiliation,
have for him a respect and affection
which may we'll be held out as an exam
pie for his own son to follow.
