The Oldest Inl1abitant is a wise
old bird with long, white chin
bG,llsh!
He usta be very important be-
fore prohibition knocked him out
Of the whiskey indOrsing graft he
held down for years.
He gets his publicity now pre-
dieting hard Winters, instead of
indOrsing hard whiskey.
He's got graInma's buniOn back
ed off the boards when it comes
to pre-scOring ON snow storms.
Little Willie thinks it's wonder
full the way the Oldest Inhabitnat
can tell just how the sleighing is
going to be while the roses are
still I'm bloom, and little Willie
starts worrying about the ice pond
right after July fourth, and SO
he always is ON the lookout for
. caterpillar, because caterpillar
is the Oldest Inhabitants ever
faithful barometer.
But Willie is scared of cater
pillars. especially the woody kind.
AND THEN HE SPOUTED.
It's only natural that the next
oldest inhabitant should be a bit
Jealous of the Oldest Inhabitant,
because he just misses by a few
years being the king pin predic-
tor! Nobody ever cOnSultS him
while the Oldest Inhabitant is
stiH brOadcasting wise cracks. A
few years makes a lOtta differ
eTlce when il comes to that oldest
inEabitant stuff!
So the next to the oldest in
habitant gave little Willie a dime
to carry a woody cateTpiIIer over
to the Oldest InI1abitant one day
last Summer to give the critteI- q
reading.
Little Willie held the dime i'm
one hand and wOOlly caterpillar
m the other, and kept his mind
on the dime,
The Oldest InlIabitant parked
his lamps on the caterpillar and
started reeling off his predictions
according to the caterpilIaE's col
OH'ing!
The Oldest TnIlabitant SAYS that
If a caterpillar is dark at the
head it means a cold start for the
Winter. If he's darker in the
middle Of his back than he is at
the head or tail it means the mid
die Of the Winter will be colder
than the start on finish, and IL
the caterpillar is darker at the
tail end than at the head or mid
die, it means the cold spell will
come at the end of the Winter.
THE PLOT THICKENS.
Looking over the WOOIIy cater.
pillar that little Willie held i'm his
trembling, temporarily brave lit
tie haIne lthe time having given
him undue courage), the Oldest in
habitant noticed that said CaterpiI-
lar was all one color and of IL
bright orange hue.
So he said that the winter would
be sunny and mild all of the way.
Willie threw the caterpillar away
very fast right after the reading
and ran back to the next Oldest
Jnhabitant and reported the Ver-
dict, upon which the next Oldest
Inhabitant cheWed his tobacco
VOciferOuSly and emitted great
yells of uncOnfined joy. He beat
the pavement with his enormous
boot and heat hiS knees with his
gnarled hands as he yOWled with
glec!
"WOt's the idea?" says Willie
wOnderingly.

controlling himself and chewing
away at his tobacco with wise

When Family Is Denied
Entry Here.

A wife has been widowed and a
baby boy Unconstitutional Meth
er of them know it yet-becausc
the immigration authorities denied
them entrance into America from
Greece.
Spires Ernst, thirty-three, father
and husband, flung himself into
Tidal Basin yesterday afternoon
and drowned within sight OF n score
of golfers on their way to the
Potomac links, demented when he
was. unable to overcome the bull
yark separating him from his fam
lily.
Sticks to Purpose.
Ernest sat in deep contemplation
on the sea wall of Tidal Basin.
Suddenly he leaped, floating for
about $50 feet, when he came to
shallow water. He arose on his
feet. But he was determined to
end it ALL and ducked his head
under the water several times. An
hour later, harbor police located his
body.
From little village called Cham
mari, in Greece, Ernst had come to
America six years ago. He took
out naturalization papers and was
doing a prosperous business at MS
delicatessen store at 1118 Thirteenth
street northwest. Two years ago
he returned to the little village to
visit his wife and mother. He came
back to this country, and some time
late" was cabled that he was the
father of boy.

When he had accumulated enough
money, Ernst sent it to his wife for
passage to this country. But sh,
could not come. The quota had been

colony here tells the story-after

mis- ardor for the intoxicant. Yester,
