"Oh, how wonderful" said Bunty,
her eyes very bright. When she
had gone to the bungalow, Uncle
Wiggily took the big pumpkin to
his garage. There he cut it in half
and scooped out the soft, inside
pulp and the seeds as if for Jack
o. Lantern. Next he fastened on
four old, doll carriage wheels. The
pumpkin was beginning to look
like Cinderella's fairy coach.
Next Mr.. Longears found a small
old japanese parasol that one OF
his little bunnies had thrown away
This parasol Mr.. Longears fasten-
ed at the back Of the pumpkin
coach so that 1t was like a fairy
canopy to keep off the sun and
rain. Inside the pumpkin he next
put a little seat of wood and draped
over it a red rag like crimson
plush.
Now the pumpkin coach is al.
most ready for Bunty to ride in,

LAURA INGALLS, SCORES

If "little group of scientists in
Washington, read the headlines III the
paper today, they must do SO with red
faces, and Laura ingalls,, if she has
sense Of humOr, must be enjoying good
laugh at them.
Some months ago, Miss ingalls,, who
is quite an aviator, attempted to lower
the womans record across the country.
In the middle west she encountered
heavy clouds of dust, high in the upper
air, which forced her to turn back and
give up the flight.
Upon reporting that the dust forced
her to quit, the little group of scientists
said it couldn't be so, for dust doesn't
go as high as Miss Ingalls, said she en-
countered it. None of the scientists, by
the way, is an aviator
Their statement rather put Miss
Ingalls, on the spot, and intimated to the
rest of us that Miss ingalls, didn't have
whatever it takes to make first class
flyer and that she was merely seeking
a good alibi for her failure.
Yesterday Miss ingalls, started out
again to try to lower the record, held by
Amelia Earhart, regarding whose fly
ing ability there is no question. All Miss
Ingalls, did was to lop off more than
three hours from Miss Earhart's non
stop mark and come within seven min
utes of breaking the mems mark, held
by Captain Frank Hawks. But for the
fact that her compass went bad, forcing
her to overshoot Floyd Bennett field at
New York, necessitating turn back
flight to that field, she would unques-
tionably have broken Hawks record as
well. For good measure she also broke
the woman's speed mark. She made the
cross-country hop in Is hours, 81 min
utes and five seconds.
That's good flying for either man or
woman and Miss Ingalls, has every reason
to be proud of her fine work. For that
matter, the rest of us, including the cit
tie group of SCIENTISTS also have reason
to be proud of her.

THE VETERANS LESSON

The G. A R. has closed its 69th an
nual encampment, held at Grand Rapids,
Michigan.
Where once the encampment drew
hundreds of thousands of veterans, this
years had a total attendance of 400 vet
Grams, indicating what the Grim Reaper
has done to the ranks of the boys who
wore the blue in 1S61-65.
The new national commander is 81
years old and most of the veterans are
in their late eighties or early nineties.
In a few weeks the American Legion
will hold its annual convention in st.
Louis. Hundreds of thousands of veter-
ans of 1917-1S will be on hand for it.
The contrast between the two conven-
tions is a lesson in what life does to all
of us. Time gallops so rapidly that be-
fore We realize it the ranks of the World
war veterans will also be greatly dimin-
ished. To later generations they will
appear as the g. A. R. has always ap-
peared to uS-as gray bent old men,
whom one never could imagine as the
fine, strapping, outstanding young fellows
they once were.
The G. A. R. and the American Leg
ion, the Spanish War veterans and all
other veterans organizations, can furnish
examples of what war does to men.
There are veterans with only one arm or
one leg, some with no legs at all, blind
veterans and veterans mutilated or
manned in various ways. They give
lesson to us which we should appreciate
the cruelty and the futility of war
Today the dogs of war are growing in
Europe. They may become unleashed at
any moment and if they do a concerted
effort will be made to bring this nation
into it. The United States has officially
spoken in favor of peace. 1t always has
wanted peace and it is not militaristic
nation. Every American should pray
that war may never come again to u.s.
We may rightly prepare for it but we
should never seek it and should avoid it
if it is humanity possible to do so.
We would indeed be a happier nation
if we never again have to form the start
of another veterans organization.

BY United Press

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. - The
cockroach situation has risen 10
plague the government again.
Miss Josephine Roche, successful
woman coal operator in Colorado
who came to Washington to be as
sistant secretary of the treasury,
has asked the eXterminators be
called in to disinfect her office. 1t
seems that the cockroaches are
just too numerous.
Ironically, Miss Roche has charge
of the public health activities OF
the treasury, which is responsible
for safeguarding the nation from
disease germs and insects.
For a long time, eXterminators
have had trouble getting rid of the
cockroaches and rats in the treas
ury, White House and state depart
ment. The buildings are three OF
the oldest in Washington.
When the eXterminators went to
work on one, the insects and rats
moved to another building. Final
ly in desperation they worked on
all three at the same time.
Even worse than the cockroaches,
where each campaign took its toll,
were the rats. They scampered
along the connecting corridors.
That problem was solved by con-
structing barricades.
All in all, Washington has prob
lens other than political ones
The office of education in the
department of interior, VIII h
checks up on the nations schools,
found 276,555 schools in the United
States in 1882. according to a book
recently published There were
more than 30,55O000 students or
about 100 to each school.
Almost as many people take col
lege extension courses as go to sum-
mer school, the statistics showed,
while four times as many attended
colleges and universities during the
winter term as during the summer
| session.
Teachers number approximately
1,O63 600 in all types of schools, the
survey continued. The total esti-
mated income for all education
from kindergarten through gradu-
ate college study was reported as

Settlers Village Has First Settler

A spic and span white and black cat has esta blished head. quarters in the "Town Hall" at the settlement. The work. men have nicknamed him "Scttler" in honor of being the first settler to take up his resi-. d c n cs at the exposition grounds. "Settler" has become very popular and, needless to state, is being well fed by his friends. He exhibits marked expressions of affection, sym- patliy, anger, jealousy and pliancc, and is an apt learner, unlike other cats that show plodiing ability to learn slow ly. He rcscnts infringement of his rights and stubbornly as- ecrts his will. He obeys his masters a respectable percent- age of the time--but most ale ways is his own master, living his own life.
