STORM INDICATES
BRE' R GROUNDING
Famous Weather Prophet Sees
His Shadow, and Bad
Weather Follows.

The grounding started early today
to make good on the forty days Of dig
agreeable weather. Old Bre'r Ground
hog, otherwise known as the marmot.
popped out of winter quarters yester-
day, saw his shadow, and retired, thus
indicating that for forty days this VT
cinity will have stormy, nasty weather.
The tradition certainlymad e good for
a starter. Early risers, such as news
papermen and policemen, found this
morning that Mr.. Groundhog's retire.
ment had broaght about a storm that
was cross between a rain and a snow.
And then to make assurance doubly
sure, the Grounding invoked the Storm
King to continue on the rain stun dur
ing the day.
DR.. Frank Baker, Of the zoo, doubts
the tradition. He says that the ground
hogs up at his place are out daily and
don't reore for forty days sleep dur
ing the supposed fncleInent weather
that follows q sunny Candlemas Day.
And his experience, he declared. has
not shown that the bad weather neces-
sarily follows such a day.
The Weather Bureau says the ground
hog tradition Is entirely wrong. Rec
ords at the bureau show that the forty
day rule hasn't held good.
Bre'r Grounding saw his shadow in
the following years on Candlemas Day,
according to lists kept for twenty years:
1913, 1911, 1910, 1909. 1908. 1906, 1906, 1904,
1908. 1901. 1900. 1894, and 'ss1. The other
Candlemas Days in that period were
cloudy or rainy.

One reason why Washington people
do as they please Is because they are
not forced TO do as other people wish
them to do. The average child in Wash

mother OF today do not use the rod as
they should. The boy or girl who is
