Well, Summer is Sncakins in on us.
Summer with all its delightful
snares and sweltering heat.
One begins to read the usual al
turing fiction about country boarding
places with never mention Of mos
quitoes and such.
Bathing suits are beginning TO be
much more interesting than fur coats,
and even as one stroIls through the
stores one hurrics past the metal
cloth and silver brocadGs and fingers
among the ginghams and voiles.
When you see crowd ganscd
around a show window you may be
sure that what they are seeing is
some new accessory for the auto
tourist. Or it's a new bright green
lawn mower,
Bosses will be Icnicnt with office
boys who are a little late these days
IL the baseball score is GOOD Boys
are thick as bees around the show
case that has catchers' mitts and
baseball bats laid out ON display!
Pockets bulge these days, but not
with hip TASKS.
Harmless garden implements can
cake on suspicious shapes--like guns
and bottles when policd away in
pockets.
Folks are reading seed catalogues
and garden hints along with their
daily comics and hectic "literaturc :"
II is wonderful what even the
thought Of the out-of-doOrs will do
ior fellow.
Even if you don't own an auto
mobile and don't expect to own one
it's as much fun to plan out trans
continental tour you never intend to
take.
It's as much fun to pick out the
place you're going TO vacation at and
think about all the fish you're going
to catch and the boastinS you're 90
ing to do around the lakes and islands
you read about even II you do stay in
town all summer.
And just think of all the romance
that is just. a few pages ahead in
the calcndar--that we don't dream Of
now--or maybe we do that, too.
If 50 here's hoping it all comes
true for you!

the bulk of honors in spite of apparent renaissance in the calibre of British opposition, but the contests of chief interest were staged on hame soil.
 In this homebred panorama of ac- tivity, however, one invader of unus- ual note, Paavo Nurmi, the phantom runner of Finland, stood out to. chal- lenge Red Grange, the galloping ghost of football, for the most spectacular honors of the year. These two oc- cupied the major portion of the spot light even in the season which saw Big Bill'' Tilden carrying the tennis heights for the sixth straight year; Bobby Jones capturing the amateur golf crown for the second season in row after also coming close to winning the national open title in desperate fight with Willie Macfarlane; Helen Wills leading women's tennis ranges for the third successive time; Rogers Hornsby smashing major league bat ting records as he led the National League for the sixth straight year; and Swede Oberlander leading Dart mouth to a national football cham pionship with the greatest forward passing exhibition in the history of the gridiron sport.
 When all these sensational feats and stars have passed in review, how ever, it remains for two peculiarly parallel performances of Grange and Nurmi to produce the greatest thrills of 1925 from the viewpoint of indivi- dual brilliance. Nothing else on the calendar quite matches the startling running of Nurmi in his first indoor performance in America at Madison Square Garden, where he shattered ! three worlds records and beat the pick of his American rivals in two races or the startling exhibition Of Grange in putting to rout hitherto unbeaten Pennsylvania eleven on
 
 onstration of broken-field running as any gridiron ever witnessed.
 These twin performances were all the more noteworthy because they were made under handicaps and were against heavy odds. Grange made football history on a muddy field against one of the East's greatest de fensive teams and before crowd which came there in a skeptical mood and left marveling at his prowess.
 Similarly Nurmi, competing on an indoor track for the first time and in an unfamiliar setting, cleared these barriers and beat the best this country could produce in the way of compe tition. He conquered Joie Ray, Will lie Ritola, Lloyd Hahn and others with these stars running the fastest races of their lives.

NEW YORK,-Though marked by a return to somewhat normal pace in the scope of athletic competition, by comparison with the unusual activity of the previous two annual campaigns, the year 1925 witnessed continued growth of popular interest, particular ly in baseball, football and track, be- sides an unusual epidemic of individ- uality brilliant performances and a significant trend in the development of professional sports
 Following a year of sensational conquests abroad on Olympic battle fields, it was a natural reaction to have the major conflicts of 1925 con centrated on native grounds. There was sufficient international competi tion to add spice to the campaign and here the United States carried away

I found it sweet and palatable and my only re- Gret was that I had no way of talk ing back a quantity of it 10 try on a dish Of bananas. When we left the fallen tree, milk was flowing out Of every break of the bark. The species proved to be new to science and tho genus had not previously been re- ported on the continent"
 Another of the unusual species described by him was a queer-look- ing tree in British Honduras. the sap of which was blood-red. II was reported a new species similar to the "padauk" of India and Af- rica, Highly valued in the making of fine furniture. Two poison trees were also located, one of which
