cream to put on a strawberry
shortcake," thought Bunty, as she
went to get her soap bubble pipe
The Fox
While she was out of the kitchen,
in sneaked the Fuzzy Fox looking
for Uncle Wiggily. OF course the
rabbit gentleman wasn't in the
kitchen, but the Fox said "I'll wait
here until he comes and then I'll
grab him" So the Fox sat down
in a chair. Then he saw the bowl
Of soapy lather on the table.
"Oh, no! Whipped cream for a
cake!' snickered the Fox. I'll eat
this whipped cream first and then
I'll nibble Uncle Wiggily." The
Fox stuck his nose into the bowl
and took large mouthful Quick
ly he swallowed it and then, too
late, he found out it was soap!
oh, wowl Oh, wowl Oh, WOW!
What's this? Soap! Soap! Soap!"
hoWled the Bad Chap and out of
the window he jumped just as
Bunty came back with her bubble
pipe. How Bunty laughed! So
did Uncle Wiggily.
Then he helped Bunty blow
bubbles and very beautiful ones
they were, made from the shaving
soap suds. So if the egg beater
will stop knocking on the kitchen
door to ask the coffee pot to come
out and play, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily's funny ride

NOT STRICTLY NECESSARY

Ambition, the driving force which has
brought man from the caves to his pres
ent state Of civilization, which with all
its faults is better than the cave period,
has been the motive behind the attempts
OF Sir Malcolm Campbell to break all eX-
isting records for land travel
Now he has achieved it. AS this is
written he has exceeded a speed of 800
miles an hour-304 plus, to be exact
sending his huge Bluebird across the salt
flSts in Utah at this terrific pace. The
figure Is at present unofficial because
certain requirements were not complied
with, but II will probably be official be-
fore the day is out or soon thereafter,
provided Sir Malcolm's good luck in
keeping his head on his shoulders. stays
with him.
lie has given out word in the past that
he would halt his peculiar kind OF dar-
ing if he achieved the 300 miles an hour
mark. Whether he will or not remains
to be seen.
Sir Malcolm's hobby, while interesting
and rather exciting, does not for US,
justify itself. True it is only his life he
takes in his hand when he sits at the
wheel of his flying chariot, but Sir Nal
colin is a man with a family, whom, we
believe, deserve a little more cOnsidera-
tipn than he has shown them by his as
saults on the speed mark
For that matter, we can see little 9TH
er justification for his work. The type
of car necessary to develop such a speed
cannot possibly be used for commercial
or pleasure purposes-it is purely and
simply freak We doubt very much that
his experiments" contribute anything
to motor car construction.
We can, on the other hand, see a def
mite undesirable result from the daring
Englishman's work. 1t is breeding
bunch of embryo Sir Malcolms, with not
one-tenth the mental or physical ability
he has, who go dashing along the high
ways at their 900 mile mark" some
where in the neighbOrhood of 20 and 80
miles an hour, a menace to themselves
and all near them.
The automobile world does not need
speed. We have gone as far in that line
as we should go-too far in fact, to be
safe-and as we cannot hope to gear up
human mentality to correspond with the
speed of the car, Sir Malcolms work
falls into the category of things that
are not necessary

TINE TO STAY OUT

Uncle Sam had better put plenty Of
sand on his shoes, for slippery path
looms before him, if that oil concession
in Ethiopia is on the up and up as the
sports writer's say.
The concession aSSertedly has been
granted to American and English capi-
talists. T he Standard Oil company,
named as one of the principals. denies
any connection whatsoever with the deal.
So does a prominent English oil con-
Germ. England. upon hearing news of
the concession, promptly advised the
Ethiopian emperor to cancel it. Halle
Selassie, apparently taking his cue from
Mussolini's recent orations, told the Eng
ish where to go and asserts the conces-
sion stands.
With none coming forward to claim
the concession and the Ethiopian mon
arch declaring that one has been grant
ed, the world is left more or less in the
dark
However, IF the concession has been
granted, and IF it has been granted to
Americans it is hard to see how Uncle
Sam can avoid being drawn into new
European ruckus. But he must keep
out Of it. Better to let a few American
capitalists with their millions howl to
high heaven that their country has left
them holding the sack than to get into
another war And if this is rated cow
ardice or disregard of the rights of ma
tionals, ask any of the 120,000,000 per-
sons in the United States other than
those who may have the concession,
what he thinks of it.

UP)-Miners came out of the hills
today and joined building indus

CALIFORNIA; 81st annual state fair.
The day was devoted particularly
to acclaiming the new development
of mining and at the same time
emphasizing the diversified activi-
ties in agriculture, stock raising,
mining and outdoor sport in the
mountainous areas.
Attendance dropped sharply after
three holidays drew a total of $780,
900 persons to the fairgrounds, eX-
ceeding all previous records. Spec
tators were SO plentiful yesterday
that it was difficult to find even
a place to stand at the horse races
and horse show. Nearly $4,000 per-
sons milled about the grounds and

DAME NATURE AIDS

The insurance men guessed wrong, but
it took Dame Nature herself to saddle
mistake upon them.
Last week insurance actuaries predict
ed between 400 and 450 persons would be
killed in the United States over the Labor
Gay weekend and that some 10000 or
II, 1000 would be injured.
A check-up today by the United Press
shows the insurance men booted the ball,
the total fatalities being listed as 1862,
according to this mornings figures.
Reason for the wide difference in the
figures submitted by the insurance men
and the actual fatalities is given as bad
weather throughout much of the country,
which kept holiday crowds to minimum
and lessened traffic on the highways.
California had it's usual good weather,
and paid for it. This state won the dub
ious honor of having more persons killed
by automobiles over the weekend than
any other state in the Union, the total
being 26 Perhaps, as long as Califor-

TAX BILL TEST
is DUE TODAY
Elimination of Graduated
Corporation LevieS Up.
for House Vote.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Organ-
lied business and the New Deal,
waging a stubborn battle over liked
taxes on big corporations in the
tax-the-rich bill, probably will reach
a test of comparative strength in a
House vote today.
The vote on striking out the
graduated corporation tax proposal
of President Roosevelt was the last
main controversial point in the bat
tie over the $270,O0O,0oO bill, Pas
sage early next week in its present
shape by the House appeared GER
tain.
The graduated corporation tax
sharply modified as compared with
the Presidents original recommen-
dation-would replace the present
fiat 1874 per cent tax on corporation
net income by a tax of 1874 on
net income under $4,000 and of
1414 on income above that.
Such a plan, organized business
charged, would penalize efficient big
corporations and in effect put the
country in the monkey stage" of
economics.
Many Democrats we're prepared
to vote with Republicans in knock
ing out the graduated tax. Except
for this issue clear sailing was
ahead for the bill. A Republican
filibuster has been smashed and
opposition to the bill, both by lib
eral and conservative groups has
failed to become cohesive on any
amendment program.
