This flat reputation of the money

by bankers here to be forecast of
serious things to come. They assert
it probably means the loss of manv

Marines Ant Bear
Pines In The Zoo

CINCINNATI, Jan. 29.-"Jimmy"
the Mexican ant-bear, which served
throughout the World War as mascot
of the Marine Brigade in France, and
was wounded in action, may soon be
lost to the Cincinnati zoo. Marines
who served in France, and who will
form the nucleus of a new expedition
ary force to be stationed at Guam
tico, Va, want to get Jimmy" back
again.
Like all sea-faring men they are
superstiitious and fear that they will
bad luck in any future ventures if
they allow their mascot to remain in
a zoo.
Jimmy was picked up by the
Marines in Vera Cruz in 1914. He
did a tour of duty aboard a battle
ship, and then went to France with
the Marine Brigade. He was the
first ant-bear the French had ever
seen, and he amused the adults but
scared the children half to death. He
