PASADENA, Dec. 25. (SpeciaD
Beautiful afternoon, marvellous
racetrack, magnificent, staunch
and sleepy old mountains in the
background Sounds like Graham
speaking). 1t is all of that and
some of the coyotes that I was
persuaded to make a small wager
on are as staunch and sleepy as
the mountains. Actors and act
resses are thick here today, but
they just as we'll be bankers a
far as being noticed.
Female screen stars are just
some more women. Madam and
Senor Horse is king. Hollywood
just as we'll be Skiatook, Okla.
The curry comb has replaced the
lip rouge. Even Garbo would
have to ride Twenty Grand to
get a look-in. It's the old oa
eaters day. And the suckers; it S
positive proof that there is plen-
ty of money to feed and clothe
everybody. It's only a rumor
that everybody has been taxed to
death.

Had Clear Signals
81 followed my instructions to
proceed straight ahead" Engineer
B. Burell of the Maple Leaf, told
the United Press. "I saw the spe-
cial waiting on the siding.
~ drove straight through as my
instructions called. Suddenly my
train swerved violently into the
rear of the special.
"That s all know. The cause
will have to be determined.
Officials of the railroad went to
DundaS, six miles from Hamilton,
to start an investigation.
One official, who refused to allow
his name to be used, said the Maple
Leaf was going so fast it failed to
take the open switch and as a re-
suit went on the siding instead of
continuing on the main line.
"Of COURSE the official said,
"the Maple Leaf usually averages
between go and 70 miles per hour
and it is the custom to be going
about SO or SIS when it passes
through Dundas.''
Rescue work was slow because of
the lack of light. Christmas pres
ents were strewn along the tracks.
There were broken toys, wearing
apparel and packages of food scat
tered among the coaches of the ex-
cursion train.
w. A. Kingslane, vice-president
and general manager of the central
division of the railway, announced
after a preliminary investigation
that an open switch caused the
wreck.

Action Of FrOxs' Lego

The frog was natures first ex-
pertinent in providing legs for land
travel. This explains the poor con-
struction of amphlbian legs which,
in the case of salamanders, cannot
even lift the body off the ground.
It's legs are used only for polling the
wriggling body along the muddy
ground. In frogs and toads the legs
are so awkwardly anchored to the
supporting backbone that the AMI
NAL cannot bear its own weight
upon them. A frog progresses only
by the momentary exertion of a
hop or jump.
