Only One Bonfire On
 Hill Last Evening
Confusing Election Returns Accepted Very Quietly;
 Democrats Lost Ground in Battle
WASHINGTON HILL

As compared with previous years, Washington Hills reception of the election returns was noticeably quiet. It may have been that the results placed all in the same di- lemnna that exists today, but on the other hand there is a possibility that many were disappointed in the result.
 Only one bonfire blazed immedi- ately after 2 o'clock when unofflcial returns were released and that was at the corner of Baldwin and Madi- son streets. Flames leaped high into the air, endangering the tele- phone and electricity wires in that area. Horns footed and bells changed, of course, but no one iden- tified the person for whom he was cheering, hence the noise was on a small scale.
 Washington Hill failed to give the Democratic party the support, 1t had lent in previous elections. This was not surprising, for the Independent Democratic workers have made heavy inroads into the regular Dem- ocratic followers during the past few years. Several leaders in af- fairs of the Hill announced their support of the Independent ticket shortly before the election.

WORLD SERIES TO CREATE NEW BOX OFFICE RECORDS;
 PARKS WILL SEAT 127,47O
Gate May Reach lh Million In
 6 Games
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Stan Correspondent.
 New York, Oct. II (UP9-From the box ofiice angle, the 1887 world series between the Yankees and Giants, opening today at Yankee Stadium, promises to be the great est in history.
 Attendance and gate receipts rec ords will go crashing regardless of how many games are played. Re- built Yankee Stadium will seat 7l,- 303 persons, largest seating ca pacity in history for world series game. The Polo Grounds can &C., commodate 56,437 persons. Thus the combined seating capacity of the two parks will be 127,470, big gest ever.
 If the series should go six games as 1t did last year, the gate re- ceiptS may reach $l,500,0o0 and the attendance more than 380,000. Ca- pacity crowds for six games would mean . new total attendance rec ord, c new gate receipts record for a series, single game records for att tendance and gate receipts, a new high for the players pool, with the winners and losers each drawing record-breaking cheeks.
 Nickel Won't Buy Peanuts
 A nickel world series, indeed. A nickel won't even buy hot dog or bag of peanuts once you get in- side the park.
 And getting in the park involves an outlay that can't be figured in niclsels and dimes. Box seats are $6.60 and reserved seats $5.50. These had to be purchased in blocks of three per game. That is, If fan wanted to see every game he had to put up $33 in advance for tickets to the first six games. Tickets for the seventh game, If necessary, won't be sold until the day of the game.
 Besides the $33 outlay for a six game series, subway fare (the only nickel item in the budget), pro- grams (they're dime), hot dogs, peanuts, soda pop, beer and cush- Ions run the total world series ex- penSes for one fan to close to $40.
 There are unreserved seats at $3.30 and bleacher seats at $l.10, but these are placed on sale the day of the game, and involve long watts in line and other inconven-' fences which make attending a world series game an ordeal.

OKAPI FOLLOWS
 RIGID REGIMEN
Called Living Fossil, Ani- maj Puzzles Scientists
 By Cleanliness

Washington-(UP) - The okapi, considered by many as "a living fossil" observes goth Century health standards by taking Q bath as his first act in the morning and the lats before going to sleep.
 Commander Attilo Gatti, on his tenth expedition into the Congo country, has reported to the Amer ican Nature Association his life habits.
 "The okapi is a member of the family Giraffidae and is considered by many as an actual living fos- sil," the commander said. "His head Is almost indistinguishable from that of the prehistoric samo- therirun of the lower Philocene of Europe, extinct for fifteen million years ,
 Vari- Colored Coat
 The explorer said the okapi's body is like that of an antelope and his legs have beautiful stripes of pure black and white, similar to those of @ zebra. It possesses large red ears which are delicately fringed in black. The back is shaded into rich tints of dark red, light red and silvery red on the sides and under the belly.
 "The okapi's first act in the morning, and the last before going to sleep is to bathe in the river" Gatti reported. He does not roll in the water, but gallops through it, taking good care to choose a place where the bottom is sandy so that the water splashing over him cannot become muddy"
 The explorer pointed out that the animal has good reason to be jealous of his skin, for in addition to its glorious colors 1t protects him from his enemies.
 The darkness of the back blends almost perfectly with the near- black appearance that the vegeta- ton has at five or six feet from the ground; the black and white stripes of the upper part of the legs mimic the stripes of light and shadow projected through the lower part of the foliage, and the white of the stockings resembles the silvery color of the dried leaves on the ground, Gatti said.
 Independent Eyes
 Another peculiarity of the okapi is his large eyes, which have, in- dependently of each other, an ex. traordinary field of rotation, en. abling him to look in two directions at once.
 In between dips in the river, the animal licks his skin clean with A long, blue tongue, which Is about 16 inches long and coils and up- coils like snake. The animals head can easily reach his tail as he bends his long neck as if it were joined at the base by a hinge.
 The explorer told of the great difficulty he experienced photo- graphing the animal in its native habitat: A pygmy guided the Qatti party to Q spot where an okapi had plunged into the vegetation near c river bank.

WEATHER HAS
 THEM GUESSING
Veteran PrOgnOsticatOrs in Connecticut Differ on
 Coming Winter
BY GEORGE R. MORRIS, yR. United Press Stan COrrespOndent)

BY GEORGE E. MOBRIS, JE. United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 New London, Conn, Oct. 6-(UP) Two of southeastern Cornecti- cuts best known weather prognoS. ticators were at logger heads today on the climate for the next six months. One prediction was clear and cold, the other wet and warm. Both based their forecasts on the wind.
 Irving H. Poppe, 0roton, who correctly forecast the past four winters, threw Q shiver into MSten- CTS by predicting bitter cold but clear winter. Some persons, poppe said, reported the wind from the south during the recent Autumnal Equinox, when the sun crossed the Equator southward.
 Anyway" he said, T say 1t was a north northwest wind. And I say fill your coal bins and get in your oil. We probably won't have as much snow as we would if the wind had been from the northeast, but 1t will be cold"
 Lafayette ?. Main, squire of Swanton Hill, North Stoningtor, claimed the wind was "South'a ard" when the sun crossed the line. He forecast 6 damp, mild winter.
 Those who get no thrill from skates or skis, are taking consola. tion from the majority of less prominent weather prophets who base their judgment on such things as squirrels fur and fluffy cater pillars. Such prophets were nearly unanimous in opining Q mild win. ter, reporting caterpillars are light brown all over.
 When the black coloring predom- mates, 1t is usually taken as Q sign of protracted cold weather. This season, observers said little, if any, black could be seen.
 Woodsmen pointed to the "thin, scraggly coats" of the squirrels and other animals as indicating an url- usually mild winter.
 Shoremen awaited the annual prediction of Capt. Kobus Quack, of the Blue Point Oyster fleet, Long Island, who estimates the severity of winter by how deep the oysters "bed down."

desirous of re-establishing justice and peace throughout the world"
 The most notable feature of reac- tion, Chinese and foreign, was the belief that the Presiednt's speech had served to harden China's re- sistance and thus to prolong the war insofar as the two countries were concerned. Foreigners believed that the Japanese would intensity their campaign, hoping for victory be- fore there could be any possible con- concrete developments from the Presidents statements.
 Japanese planes returned to Man. king in mid-afternoon and dropped three bombs near the military air. drome before Chinese pursuit planes chased them off.
 Apparently Japanese planes bombed villages between Shanghai and Nanking.
