WINTER TO BE MILD,
BULLFROGS SAY SO
If You Don't Believe Them, Ask Mr..
Zelluss Worms or Mrs. Jones's
Snakes

Peter Zellus of No. 1920 Richmond
Terrace, Holland Hook S / predicts
for New Workers mild winter His
reasons follow;
"The bullfrogs in the pond near my
home make night melodious with their
Croakngs and their dulcet notes If
the winter were to be severe they
would be imbedded in the mud at the
latter part of September and would
not croak again until spring.
"The ground worms are crawling on
the surface of my garden If the win
ter were going to be hard one they
would have been five feet under ground
three weeks ago.
Garter snakes are as lively and
frolicsome in the garden of my neigh
Dor, David Jones, as they were in
mid-July. If the winter were going to
be harsh you could not find one Skin
mishing around after the second week
in October"
CaterpillarS Markings Also Indicate
Mild Winter
Here is another mild winter sign,
according to the farmers:
The black and brown caterpilars,
so common in the fall in the suburbs,
have only a narrow brown stripe in
the middle this year, with more than
half of the front part black and short
black tail markings The observers
say this is a sure indication of a long
autumn, a short and late winter and
an early spring.

American Prefers
Marathon Race to
Any in Olympics

America would rather win the
Marathon race than any other three
races on the program" once wrote the
late James L. Sullivan in reference to
Olympic games. James Z. Sullivan
was right. There's nothiag so salts
flying to this country, or any other
for that matter. from an athletic
standpoint. than to win a Marathon
in an Olympic meet. Thus far Amer
lea has swept the boards. practically.
at every Olympiad. Her athletic su-
periority is unquestioned. OF the six
Marathon races that have been con-
tested in Olympiads since 1896 Uncle
Sam has won two OF them. Uncle
Sans rivals realize that there is con-
siderable consolation to be gained by
putting over a triumph in the cruel
ling Marathon run. "a victory in the
marathon" has become the slogan
abroad and no stone is being left un-
turned to insure a win in this big
event
England bowed to America at Stock
holm in 1872 but she had the salts

thon when Macarthur. of South Africa.
crossed the finish line first.
Each country entered in the Olym-
: ics, this year will send a strong rep
resentation to the starters mark for
the terrible Marathon.
