GROUNDING DAY

OF all the weather superstitiOns, per-
haps none has been more widespread than
that associated with Grounding Day, Feb
ruary 2. According to belief held by
many the grounding energies from his
winter Information on that day, and if he
sees his shadow he goes back into his hole
for another six weeks, during which con-
tinuance of winter weather may be ex-
pected.
IT, on the other hand, February is
cloudy, the animal will remain outside,
which is sign of an early spring.
Just how the grounding keeps track
of the date, including the extra day in leap
year, is not explained, but many actually
believe he does it.
Other animals than the grounding are
supposed to behave similarly. In Germany
it is the badger; in England the hedgehog;
in France the marmot, and among the
Scandinavians the bear.
February 2 is also known as Candle
mas Day in the church calendar COM
memOrating the presentation of Christ in
the temple and among its observances is
the blessing of candles for sacred use. It
is also associated with weather signs iden-
teal with those attributed to the ground
hog. There are several old rhymes similar
to this:
IF .Candlemas be bright and clear
Wen have two winters in the year."

WEATHER CONDITIONS

The northern disturbance has
moved eastward to eastern On
tariO attended by snow in Michi-
gan and the lower Lake region;
and the Rio Grande Valley dis
turbance has increased in in
tensity and moved northeastward
to southern Georgia, causing mod
crate to heavy rains from the
Texas coast eastward over the
CarOlinas, Georgia and northern
Florida, and snow in portions Of
Tennessee and Virginia. Another
low pressure area is moving in
over North Dakota, and a field of
high pressure, crested this morn
ing over the Plateau region, ex-
tends southeastward into western
Texas. Colder weather has over
spread the upper Mississippi Val
ley and Lake Superior region,
with temperatures below zero in
northern Minnesota and upper
Michigan, and there has been de-
decided rise in temperature in
most sections east of the Missis-
sippi River with readings as much
as AZ degrees higher in portions
of New England and 30 degrees
higher in northeastern Florida.

RISE OF A BELL BOY

Another striking illustration of what
industry and thrift may accomplish, even
under the handicap of meager education,
is seen in the career of the late Ellsworth
M. Statler, millionaire hotel owner.
Born a poor farm boy in Somerset
county, Pennsylvania, he had little formal
schooling, being forced to go to work when
a mere child. Yet he became one of the
most able and forceful speakers i'm the
country. He often recalled that his first
lessons in English were given him by Tom
Duffy, bartender in the Mcclure House
in Wheeling, where young Statler first be-
came connected with the hotel business as
a bell-boy at a salary of six dollars a
month.
He was SO when he opened his first
restaurant under his own name in Buffalo.
His first management of an enterprise of
magnitude came at the age of SO, when he
built and conducted large hotel at the
Buffalo Pan-American exposition in 1901,
followed by his management of the famous
Inside Inn at the st. Louis worlds fair in
1904.
He then began to build up a chain
of magnificent hotels in various cities, in
Guiding the great Hotel Pennsylvania in
New York, where he died.
Mr.. Statler's rise was not due to good
luck, although his business ventures were
more than usually successful. It was due
to the fact that he had learned the hotel
business from the ground up, and was I'm
firing in his efforts to please his guests. He
was known as the most polite bell-boy, and
when he became magnate he had still re-
tanned the habit of pOliteness, and his out
standing trait was consideration for. the
comfort and HAPPINESS Of others. II

I AN UNUSUAL DIVORCE

While the idea of Mr.. and Mrs.
Florian L. Hummer of Cleveland regarding
getting divorce but remaining friends is
not new, their experiment had q rather
unusual sequel
Deciding that they could no longer
live as man and wife in happiness, they
agreed to secure divorce, but to remain
in their $4,000 home, she as manager of
the household and he as merely boarder.
At the end of 80 days they felt the
urge to make up and have the divorce set
aside. Seeking the judge who had made
the decree. they informed him of their de-
sire. They were pleasantly surprised to
be informed that the Judge had never
signed the record, having suspected how
matters would turn out. consequently they
had not been legally divorced az ALL
There are probably many other
couples who might save their matrimonial
bark from shipwreck by a temporary
severance of relations by mutual consent
instead of rushing to the divorce court on
slight provocation.

connection with the sale of Sc
curitieS of Corporation Securities
Company, will soon have their
day, probably early next week,
when United States Attorney
Dwight H. Green is expected to

Thus far the Government has
introduced testimony relating to
the organization of Corporation
Securities, to alleged wash"
sales on the Chicago Stock Elk
change and the rigging" of
insult stocks.

Knittle, Federal witness who testi-
fled that the public was lured to
buy insult stocks at prices pegged
through wash sales" was ex-

testified that II per cent of the
shares of Corporation Securities
common stock traded on the Chi.
cago Exchange in 1880 was
bought or sold by other insult
companies.
