MISS PERKINS
Gets SNUbb|NC
At BERKELEY

BERKELEY, Calf, Marcn %.
U.P)-Disregarding snup by a pro-
minent woman alumnus who called
her "a mere politician" Madame
Frances Perkins, secretary OF labor
in President Rooseyelts cabinet, to-
tlay addressed a University OF Cali
fornia gathering at Charter day ex-
crcises.
The snub came from Miss Martha
IjamS, secretary of the university
class of 1901, who believed that
other women were more worthy OF
the honor of being the first OF their
sex invited to speak at the annual
exercises.
AS climax to her opposition to
Madame Perkins selection, Miss IL
ans, Berkeley resident, refused TO
act as hostess at an Alumni asso-
citation dinner honoring the cabinet
official tonight.
1T seems to me to be entirely
out of place that the first woman to
Dt SD pt - iihs'N
politician" Miss Ijams said,
The alumni leader hao favored
DR.. Mary Ella Wooley, president OF
Mt. Holyoke college, for the speak
er's honor.
Dr.. Robert Gordon Sproul, presi-
dent of the university who invited
Madame Perkins to the Charter
Gay program, said he had made the
selection and would stand by it."
1--WE have had cabinet members
before the university president
said.
Madame Perkins said she was
Every sorry when informed of Miss
Ijams position.
II have no reaction other than to
say am very sorry to have given
offense to any one" the cabinet Of
ficial said.
In a letter to Robert Sibley, exc
cutive secretary of the Alumni as
sociation, Miss Ijams had said:
THE place of the university is to
stand for the recognition of achieve
ment in the educational and scien-
tific world. I do not believe that the
world is so barren of persons war
ranting recognition that it should
be necessary for the university to
delve into politics to find some one
to receive the honor of being chosen
as charter day speaker"

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
PIGS BUTTONS

One day Mr.. Twistytaii, The fat
pig gentleman, met Uncle Wiggily
as the rabbit gentleman was hop
ping through the woods.
"You look very happy and jolly,
Wiggy," said the pig.
81 feel very happy and jolly"
answered the rabbit. "Spring is
here. This is the third day of it,
$50 it is,' grunted the fat pig,
"I was wondering what made me
feel so happy and gay. I think I'll
laugh. But I must be careful" :
"Wait a minute and III tell you
something else to laugh about, -
chuckled Mr.. Longears. "But why
must you be careful when you
laugh? Have you a cracked lip?
Laughing is bad for cracked lips. "
"No, it isn't that grunted the
pig. "But you go ahead and tell
me something else to laugh about

President Delays
Trip To Florida

WASHINGTON, March 90. WD
President Roosevelt's proposed
trip to Florida for rest is being
held in allegiance pending outcome
of the very critical illness of White
House secretary Louis McHenry
Howe.
The President originally had in
tended to leave tonight for about
a Today stay in Florida waters.
But he put aside all thoughts of
immediate departure and remained
close to the bedside of Howe, his
political adviser for a quarter OF
a century or more.
Development of pleurisy in
Howe's left lung in addition to
other complications caused physi-
clans today to abandon all hope
for his recovery.

and then I'll tell you why I must
be careful about laughing"
SO Uncle Wiggily told his fat pig
gentleman friend about the bub-
bling spring and how the water
Spouted up the nose OF the Fox.
Funny Story
"Don't you think that was fun
ny?" asked the rabbit.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! That is one of the
funniest stories I ever heard. Oh,
dear me! Ho! Ho! Hol Ha! Ha!

He laughed very hard, so that ne
shook al over like a Santa Claus
bowl OF jelly and then, all of a sud-
Gen, several things, round and hard
began falling on Uncle Wiggily like
hail or frozen drops of rain.

Wiggily.

when he had stopped laughing.
Buttons? Buttons!p exclaimed
Uncle Wiggily. But he didn't keep
on by saying: "Who has the but
tons?' as you do when playing the
game.
ayes, buttons" grunted Mr..
Twistytail. Help me pick them
up, please, Wiggy."
Then Uncle Wiggily saw that the
things which had fallen around
him like hail or frozen rain were
buttons off the pigs overcoat. Big,
round, shiny buttons they were.
" How did this happen, Twisty2o
asked the rabbit gentleman.
Oh, it's because I'm getting SO
fat" grunted the pig, taking care
not to laugh again for fear OF
bursting off more buttons. "You

tell me any more funny stories.'
Rubber Thread
"I'll try not to- said Uncle
Wiggily. "But what about these
buttons you have laughed Off" he
asked. "What shall we do with
them?'
"We'll stop in a delicatessen OF
drug store and have them sewed on
again. said the pig gentleman.
"But don It make me laugh again. -

Uncle Wiggily. 81 know lot more

ibis for our oversight, including the fair,
the irrigation district troubles, Huey

In their opening editorial, the new

because it is dedicated to the best inter-

true of any newspaper worthy the name
and in recognizing that truth the new
Holtville owners are starting off on the

The Holtville community is bound to
expand and develop in the next few
years and in this expansion and develop

We like the new get-up of the Tribune
