O'clock, the Lady Mouse Teacher
rang the bell. After the morning
exercises Miss Mouse said:

think. You have come back to
your lessons and Uncle Wiggily is
here with us the first day. wond-

"if you could not give the children
a little lesson before we begin our
regular reading and writing and
arithmetic work, could you?"
"I'll try" said Uncle Wiggily. I'LL
speak of some of the lessons my
Dummies learned when they were out
of school," So the rabbit gentleman
told the animal pupils how Bunty,
Buster and the others at the sea-
shore beach had learned to swim,
dive, make seaweed tents and be
prepared like Boy Scouts.
THAT is very good" squeaked
Miss Mouse. Now can any pupil
tell some other lesson he or she
learned on vacation?"
"Yes'm, I can." said Baby Bunty,
the orphan rabbit. "We saw how
a queer fish at the seashore hides
himself in a cloud of ink when he
doesn't want to be caught"
Jackie Bow Bow Barks
Hearing Baby Bunty say this,
some of the others began to laugh
and Jackie Bow Wow, puppy,
barked and said.
"Pooh I don't believe fish could
do that. A bottle of ink! Pooh!"
"Yes, it is true said Uncle Wig

PLENTY TO EXPLAIN

Reports of the MORO Castle catas-
trophe indicate tragic lack of that
discipline and decisive action in time of
disaster which has become one of the
traditions Of the sea-.
Investigations have been ordered by
the company owning the vessel and the
federal department of commerce. 1t is
to be hoped they will bring to light ali
the facts that may have any bearing on
the heavy loss of life and place the
blanfe, if there be any, where it belongs.
First reports of the tragedy stated
the boat had been struck by lightning.
1t is difficult to accept this, for the
same reports tell of members of the crew
being reused from sleep by other men,
bers, who had heard the fire alarm
sound Had bolt of lightning hit the
ship it is reasonable to assume that it
would have awakened every person
aboard
If the fire was not caused by light
ming (and we seriously doubt that it
was) there is considerable explaining
needed to tell how it could have assumed
such proportions before it was discov-
cred. The MORO Castle was modern
ship, built in 1880 and equipped with
thoroughly modern fire-fighting devices,
including automatic sprinkling and au-
rOnatfc lire anQ waterproof DulhHedus.
These projections seem to have been of
no use. At least none of the reports
mentioned their being used.
The same reports mention statements
by the crew that passengers hesitated
and even refused to cross a small section
of burning deck to get to the stairway
reaching to the deck where the lifeboats
were hung Where was the authority
that the law of the sea gives the captain
and his crew? They are supposed to use
persuasion and example in such cases
but when these fail they have plenty of
authority to use force if necessary to
safeguard the lives of their passengers,
even though it be against the will OF the
latter.
1t doesn't make nice reading to learn
of lifeboats filled with members OF the
ships crew reaching port safely while
men, women and children drowned
Perhaps all these things can be salts
factorily explained and we certainly
hope, for the good name of seamanshlp
if nothing else, that they can be.
Having the blessing of the admins
tration doesn't necessarily mean that
Upton Sinclair is going to get the same
