LONG EXTENDS
HIS CONTROL

NEW ORLEANS. July %. U.D -
Huey P. Longs dictatorship Of
Louisiana assumed a broader and
somewhat unexpected aspect today
when observance of a new law prac-
tically put the criminal district
courts of New Orleans out of busi-
ness.
That law was one giving Long
control, through a new bureau Of
criminal identification, of all dep
uty sheriffs in the city. In fact,
Sheriff George E. Williams was or
dered to drop no less than 67 CT
his men.
There were not even enough dep
uties to man the courts, and as
one judge said on shutting up shop:
II can't go over to the prison, get
the prisoners, and conduct court
myself"
He and other judges planned to
convene daily just long enough TO
adjourn-until sufficient deputies
have been appointed to insure or
derly court procedure.
The law in question relates that
all deputies be approved by state
board, hence the wholesale dismis-
sails. Sheriff Williams was instruct
ed to submit another list of names

MAKING REAL HISTORY

Constitutionality of this or that dis

Messrs. Gordon Mickey Cochrane and

Mr. Frisch and his Cardinals are vel

Why bother about unimportant mat

It is the old story of David and Coli

dominates the whole United States, is on
the frying pan and hundreds of thou

land hope the Tigers and the Cardinals
make them sizzle and sizzle plenty.
History is repeating itself, for the
same set-up occurred last year. The two

Again this year both New York teams

swapping at their heels.

UNCLE WIGGuY AND BUSTERS
FACE

Now that Uncle Wiggily has taken
his family in the auto and airship
tc Green Lake for the Summer va
cation, the rabbit boys and girls had
lots of fun playing in the woods and
water.
One day. when Mrs. Longears and
Nurse Jane were sitting on the
porch of the lake cottage, Uncle
Wiggily started to hop away to look
for an adventure. He saw that his
wife was sad so he asked:
Are you sad, my dear, because
you aren't going adventuring with
me? If you are, hop along. I can
find an adventure for you, also
mo, thank you. Wiggy," his wife
answered, I'm not sad because I
can't go adventuring. I am sad on
account of Buster.
What has Buster been doing
now9" asked his father. Has ne
gone away in a boat with a mud
turtle to pull him as one did yes
terday?"
Won't Wash Face
"Oh, no. answered Busters
mother. But he just won't wash
his face. Nurse Jane and I have
tried 10 make him, but when Buster
gets up in the morning he forgets
to wash his face and before we can
make him do it he gobbles down his
breakfast and hops away to have
fun
"Oh, dear. that's very bad!" said
Uncle Wiggily Il must speak to
Buster about this. Not washing his
facet Dear mel" He called Buster
up from the lake where he was sail
ing a toy boat and said to the rab-
bit boy: Why don't you wash your
face when you get up in the morn
ing?"
"Oh, Daddy, I just forget" said
Buster, who was anxious to go back
to sail his boat. I'm in such a
hurry to have fun"

retary, has one of the most pains
taking and least spectacular jobs in
congress.
In addition TO being secretary to

inspection of all senate measures
before they are sent to the White

Whiteside and his assistants
must check every word, every COM

which was introduced and the
multitudinous amendments which
may have been made along its

Wondering what was going to
happen, Bunty got the fluffy seed
dandelion on a long stem. Buster
was also wondering, when his father
stood in front of him. holding the
dandelion. All of a sudden Uncle
Wiggily took long breath and blew
hard. A lot of the fluffy dandelion
seeds scattered over Buster. A
great many of them stuck to his
face.
"There" cried Uncle Wiggily
What did 1 tell you? Your face is
so dirty, Buster, because you didn't
wash it, that the dandelion fluff
stuck to it as it would to fly-paper.

While his brothers and sisters
laughed at him and his funny ufzzy

POOR LITTLE RICH BOY

Nine days old, already closely guard
ed to prevent his abduction and doomed,
according to a statement by his father
to be closely guarded against all sorts
of things, such is the fate OF the little
Astor baby, who. if he lives, may some
day inherit the gigantic Astor fortune.
1t makes little difference Just now, of
course, for the little fellow can't know
anything about it. Even as he passes in
to the todding, small boy and youngster
periods his closely guarded condition
may not be apparent to him for he will
never have known anything else.
Look back on your own boyhood and
what would you take for the things the
AStor boy is going to miss? No impish
companions to run wild with; no corner
lot baseball and football games: no old
swimming hole" or its modern equlva-
lent; no raids" after fruit or nuts; no
SNOWFALL fights and no barked shins from
hockey; in short, nothing that most Am
erican kids have as an essential part of
their development.
Every move the youngster makes will
be carefully supervised. What few iuv-
