German Violin
Industry Has
Lengthy Life

MITTENWALD, Germany, Aug.
IA. U.P) - This village in the noun
tainS of Bavaria is now celebrating
the 250th anniversary of its violin
industry, begun in the 18th CEN
tury by Matthias Klotz.
Throughout the summer the
town folk will present a play, "The
Song of the Stars" telling tn e
story of Klotz and his wanderings
over Italy, where he learned in
strument making. The play will
be staged again this winter at near
by Garmsich-P -Partenkirchen, as
part of the entertainment for the
Winter Olympics.
The story of Matthias Klotz is a
romantic one. When he was boy
of 10 his peasant family sent him
to Italy to study under famous vio-
lin makers there. Twenty years
later he returned to MittenWald,
opening his own workshop. Ap-
prentices flocked to him, and soon
ne established the fame of the town
for fine instruments, reputation
Mittenwald retains today
After making a number of in
struments, Klotz' craftsmen had to
go out into the world themselves
to sell them. Strapping their vio-
Inns on their backs, they wandered
through nearby countries, giving
demonstrations and making sales
in castles and great monasteries.

UNCLE wIGGILYs PLAY HOUSE

Uncle Wiggily was hopping through
the woods near Green Lake where
he was living in his Summer vaca-
ton cottage
L may find an adventure said
the rabbit gentleman to himself.
Or I may find sOmething else
Whatever it is will be welcome"
Soon after that he found some
thing else. 1t was a large hollow
tree. something like his hollow
stump bungalow in Woodland near
the Orange Ice Mountains where he
lived in Winter.
"Oh, ho' said Uncle Wiggily to
himself, as he saw the hollow tree
This will make me a fine play
house. I'll go in it So he did
Now it might seem strange for an
old rabbit gentleman to want a play
house. But those of you who know
Uncle Wiggily know that though he
was old in some ways he was young
in other ways He always wanted to
have fun and pretend and play like
the animal boys and girls among
whom he lived.
Fun in Play House
III pretend I'm a young rabbit
again, said Uncle Wiggily, tWinkling
his pink nose when he was inside
the hollow tree. I'll have some fun
in this play house as I used to have
when I was a boy. My wife and
Nurse Jane aren't here to stop me. "
The hollow tree was large enough
for a rabbit gentleman's play house.
Uncle Wiggily could stand up
straight in it, which is more than
you can do in some children'S play
houses I have seen. There also was
room for him to turn around and
sit down
But III need something to sit
on" said MI. Longears.
Growing outside the hollow tree
were number Of large tOadstools.
AS no toads were using the stools
at the time, Uncle Wiggily picked
three.
Il may have company come to see
me in my play house" said Uncle
Wiggily as he sat On one toadstool
and placed the two others near him
for company. After little while
Uncle Wiggily looked cut Of the door

HUNGARY WILL
N NORATE
KING { DEATH

BUDAPEST, Aug ID. U.P) - The
900th anniversary OF the death of
the first Hungarian king, Stefan
the Holy, Will be celebrated by
Hungary with a pomp and core
nlony probably never before wit
messed even in this land of celebra-
tions almost unparalleled for gor-
geous uniforms and impressive
ceremonies.
This anniversary is still some
three years distant, but prepara-
tions for the celebration already
arc under way.
BY 1888, the anniversary year.
the government intends to have
concluded the excavations of the
site of the palace of the former
Hungarian rulers of the Arpad dyn-
asty and to have restored the most
important parts of this palace in its
original splendor.
Accompanied by his minister of
education, Premier julius GoenboeS
recently visited the site and made
the decision to eXpend 100000 pen
goes on the excavations immedi-
ately so that the work might be
hastened.
The palace to be restored was
that built by King Bella III on the
site of an earlier palace which had
been destroyed by sire. 1t was pre-
pared as a home worthy of Princess
Margit, daughter of the then king
of France, whom Bella brought ia
Hungary as his bride and queen.
Restoration has been rendered
possible by the discovery of founda-
tions and plans which clearly re-
vealed the nature of the original
structure.
