The old adage that every one
talks about the weather, but nc
one does anything about it was re
futed recently according to the To-

fact that '"to err is human" and
point with glee to some of the
errors committed by our metro
politan newspapers. The Toledo
Blade stated recently that "the
executive will arrive in Toledo in
