ALL EYES ON GROUND HOG
Little Animal Will Tomorrow
Determine Weather for
Forty Days.
Tomorrow will be ground hog dav

Tomorrow will be ground hog day.
Delivers in ''signs." who are anxious to
know whether or not there will be Il
fareback March 4, are expected to
flock to the Geological Park in large
numbers for their Sunday walk. for a
ground hog house is located in the cent
trail part of the park. near the elephant
house. and it contains five of these old
fashioned weather forecasters.
Whether or not they realize the great
burden of responsibility that rests on
their small shoulders this year is not
known, but it is certain that more at
tention will be paid to them tomorrow
than in many years past.
According to the old tradition, the
ground hog settles the kind of weather
that will prevail for the following forty
days promptly at noon February >. He
is expected to come out of his burrow or
house tomorrow at that time, and if the
day is bright and sunny, and he sees his
shadow in consequence, he Will hustle
back into his domicile, to stay for the
next forty days, convinced that he has
seen the sun too early.
If, however, he should find that there
is no sun at noon. and he does not see his
shadow, he Will be convinced and he will
convince believers in signs that the
winter is over and that good weather is
to ensue.
He will, in fact get ready for spring,
when he will become known to garden
makers as the familiar woodchuck Of
their evil dreams. In spring. summer and
autumn he is the woodchuck, whose pelt
is highly esteemed by rural and suburban
dwellers. principally for the fact that
when nailed on d woodshed door it is en-
blematic of one more Chuck that Will
never do any damage in the garden.

CONDEMNS CONCESSIONS.
Dominican Trade for Last Calendar
Year the Greatest.

The policy of the Dominican Republic in
granting concessions carrying with them
free entry of merchandise is vigorously
condemned in the annual report which w.
f.. Pulliam. the American general receiver
of Dominican customs. has just made to
the bureau of insular affairs.
such an arrangement" says Mr.. Pull
liam, - is imp. evident from a fiscal stand
point. To insure the highest degree of
administrative success, minimize irregu-
larities and the likelihood of questionable
practices. no favoritism should exist or be
tolerated.
The aggregate dominican trade for the
last calendar year was the greatest ever
attained amounting to $l1.94J, 2OS or an
increase of ssh, S9i over the preceding
year, splendid showing in view Of the
fact that the sugar yield was off.
