In some cases the trouble was With
the spinners and not with the tops
but, OF course. the boys placed all the
biame on the top.
The boys hunted smooth places on
the sidewalk for spinning. Big boys
taught the small ones how to spin.
They told the amateurs how to wind
the string and how to hold the top
before hurting it toward the pavement
Some Of the small boys were such
poor pupils that the old boys gave
up the tutoring in disgust, with some
expression like this: Gee, but you
are wooden head. Didn't tell you
not TO hold the top that war?''
When tops appear in large numbers.
it is a pretty good sign that spring is
in full swing and that persons must
prepare for spring duties. Hundreds
of house holders yesterday raked their
lawns and made repairs. New fences
were installed and fertilizer placed in
flower beds and garden plots.
