r. Naulder, ~thirty-fve years old, a

termiped to end his own life and had
the revolver ready to pull the trigger

ing q storm and thus saved from self
destruction. kaulder's wife was away

KATYDlDS ARE HEARD,
SUMMER NEARING END

According to traditions on Staten
Island the end Of summer is near.
Local prophets there have figured 1t
out to the fraction of a day. They
say that Just one day before straw
hats are relegated to the ash can
namely, on September 14-summer
toys can be laid away and prepara-
lions made for the longest winter on
record.
Why? Because the katydids say
so. And there are prophets on the
island who believe the katydids are
infallible. The katydids started
chirping last Thursday night and
since have kept up a merry chorus.
THIS was convincing enough to make
the islands send out their warning.
