check could be made here, as only
early morning temperatures are re-
ceived from the continent.
Figures officially reported every
where are for shade temperatures, -
said Director Marvin, Of the bureau.
but centigrade is used in Europe
and there must have been an mac
curacy in converting these. I can't
believe it is a credible report
He added that Id degrees cent?

in a treetop. He eats tender leaves and
he can bite of the edges of them with

he's so slow in his movements that he
really cannot fight at all. He's the most

all this he seems to be happy and to
