WASHINGTON. Jan. 4 U.P)-Any
school boy, or girl for that matter,
can now get a fine picture of
President Roosevelt for dime, or
seven and a half cents if he or she
gets 80 classmates to chip in for
pictures too.
This is just the latest service of
the government and is provided
through the thoughtfulness of the
office of education.
The authorized photograph which
is autographed and enscribed ITO
the Pupils and Teachers of the
United States" has been made
available just after the White House
became considerably exercised over
unauthorized use of the Presidents
picture.
A distillery used photograph of
Mr.. Roosevelt in an advertisement
on the anniversary of repeal. Mr..
Roosevelt also is a favorite subject
of calendar markers. The White
House doesn't approve of such pic
lures and discourages them in every
way possible.
The new Roosevelt picture is
being given with copies of the De-
cember issue of School Life, which
is the official journal of the office
of education. 1t has been SO popu-
lar that $4,000 of 10000 copy order
have already been exhausted.
The big bath and face treatment
given Washington monument cost
the taxpayers just $4,000 the Ma
tional Park service reported today.
Luckily for the taxpayers, how
ever, the face-lifters don't think
the monument will need another re-
juvenation until along in 1884. The
renovation was complete today but
the protecting scaffold is so elab-
crate that it will take three weeks
to tear it down.
Rep. Bertrand Smell, R., N. Y,
house minority leader, presented

UNCLE WIGGILY AND LENA'S
LESSON

Uncle Wiggily was sitting in his
hollow stump bungalow one evening
reading the paper. 1t was after
supper. Near the table sat some of
the bunny boys and girls. All Of a
sudden Jingle said:
"Oh, dear!"

Wiggily.

like the Christmas holidays and I
love you little bunnies. But, you
have been running in and out of
the bungalow so much since there
was no school, it keeps me busy

school starts Monday, and you
should be glad, too

to start" said Jingle. 81 forgot
about having fun in the snow"
Many of the other rabbit girls
and boys also said they were glad
to go back to the Hollow Tree
School again to greet the Lady
Mouse Teacher after the Christmas
vacation. But Lena, cute little rab-
bit girl, didn't look very happy.
Don't You Want to Go Back?"
Whats the matter, Lena?" ask

to 20 back to school?"
Not very much, thank you," Lena
answered.

wanted to know.
"Oh, on the last day of school, :"

ing more than a moral understanding
between this country and Great Britain
1t would serve its purpose-notice to all
other nations that the two acknowledged
leaders of the world were ready to work
in union to keep the peace
Realization of such an understanding
is undoubtedly in the distant future. We
may blind ourselves to its desirability,
but this learned and experienced Chinese
gentleman, standing on the sidelines,
may be just step ahead of us, in recog-
nizing the needs of that future.

CONNECTICUT Us. ROOSEVELT

The dear old state of Connecticut is
having quite a tangle with Franklin D.
Roosevelt-not the President of the Unit
ed States, but his son and namesake. who
has been in several jams with Connecti-
cut authorities for violation of the auto
mobile regulations, and has also had
brushes for similar reasons with the au-
thorities of Massachusetts, Pennsylvan-
la and even of Harvard university, where
he is a student.
Just now Mrs. Roosevelt is making an
effort to help her son, under citation for
assertedly driving rs miles an hour
through the town of Orange, Connecticut.
She has written the justice before whom
Franklin Jr., is scheduled to appear,
asking for a continuance of the case
That's what created the tangle. The
poor justice has been deluged with other
letters from outraged Connecticut Yam
KEGS, (probably- Republicans demanding
that the youth be boiled in oil, given
the works" slapped into jail, put on
road gang or given some other form of
punishment, while others, (probably
Democrats) urge he be shown the con-
sideration due the Presidents son and
be permitted to go in peace
Twice before Franklin Jr., has been
IN Connecticut courts, on one occasion
having qulCe SpdI WlCn state trooper
which was eventually smoothed over
Franklin Jr. certainly doesn't follow
his fathers example. Catch Mr. Roose-
velt making enemies when it is just as
easy to make friends. If Franklin Jr.,
can't convince himself that the Presi-
dents son ought to be an example in the
matter of law observance, he certainly
should know, as an ordinary American
youth, travelling between Boston and New
York, that there is no ''hotter" spot in
the country for auto violations than
Orange, Connecticut. 1t is just outside
New Haven and folks all through New
England and even down into Pennsyl-
vania, know that Orange is tough In
fact it seems to have placed magnifi-
cent stretch of road through the town
just so it could put temptation in the
path of the motorist. But it certainly
doesn't pay to succumb to sthe tempta-
ton.
Franklin Jr. must either be dumb or
possessed of 'crown prince" complex.

FIRE CHIEF ASKS RESIDENTS TO

Much of the nations heavy fire

matches, oil, gas and electric equip

toward reducing the heavy annual
fire loss.

every citizen should be familiar
with the location of the fire box

operate it in case of fire. We have

any resident can obtain one by

Minutes lost at the start of a fire
may mean the loss of life or de-
struction of property which might
otherwise be saved.

to get the fire department on the
job in the quickest possible time

WOMACK URGES COOPERATION OF
ALL ON FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

ment to the program as he has in
former years and as other Presi-
dents did before him.
Governors, mayors and officials
everywhere realize the Importance
of Fire Prevention Week and the
needlessneSs of our heavy national
fire toll and are anxious to lend
their aid in boosting the former
and cutting down the latter.
ut is not enough merely to CO.
operate during Fire Prevention
Week and then forget all about fire
hazards during the rest of the
year. There is no logical argument
against being careful at all times.
II each of us would tell ourselves
that it may be our home, our busi-
ness or our loved ones who would
next be imperiied by the fire demon,
: am sure all of us would pay more
attention to the danger that con-
fronts us at all times"

AS acting mayor of FL Centro
Councilman Roy Womack has given
official endorsement to Fire Pre-
vention Week, which will start next

proclamation issued earlier in the

citizens of El Centro in this prog
ressive movement.
The desirability of Fire Proven
ton Week is nationally recognized. >
the councilman said, "our national
loss by fire being tragic in the num-
Der of deaths and the damage to
property. Last year it is estimated
10000 lives were claimed by fire,
which destroyed property valued at
more than one-quarter billion
dollars.
Fortunately FL Centro has had
a minimum fire loss, but We can
reduce even this, by being careful
and by combining a cleanup cam
paign with Fire Prevention Week.
Fire hazards should be eliminated
and citizens should cooperate to
the fullest extent with the plans or
the fire department to make Ell
Centro's participation in Fire Pre-
Yention Week fine success.
I'VE have every reason to be
proud of our splendid fire depart
ment and should cooperate with it
in every way possible in the efforts
of its members to keep our losses
at a minimum.
