THE ‘FLYING FINN" AT HIS TRAINING TABLE
The question Gt' Paavo Nurmi’s diet on the day of any race is def
initely settled by this picture, the first for which the Finnish Flyer has
consented to pose at table, showing him eating the one meal he permits
himself on the day of a race. A long sleep is followed by five slices of
well buttered white toast, with two cups of coffee, followed by a rest al
most ui) to the period of the race. The meal was taken at 5 p. m., five
hours before Nurmi shattered Shrubb’s long-standing record for the -LOOP
yard and -1.000 met' rs at the Newark, A. C., Newark, N. J.

the story of a luck-piece That brought
luck. The talisman is a 20 peso
Mexi'. an gold pi. ; <• and Joe Hard
wick. chief of police of this border
city, credits the coin with saving his
life while attempting to arrest a ne

He escaped with a superficial wound.

years ago by a Mexican official, ac
companied by the admonition: “Wear
this always. It will bring you luck.”
The charm is assured of inrmor

intervention of a watch charm, pro
videntially worn, the bullet fired by
the would-be assassin was deflected
from its course.

Old Man Winter Seems
to Shun Nortkrn Europe
BERLIN, Mar. 2.—Stories of (he
remarkably warm winter keep com
ing into Berlin from Sweden, as
well as from points in Germany.
The records of the Stockholm ob
servatory, dating back to 2768, show
that the last month of 1924 was the
warmest December since 1789. Lack
of snow in some parts of Sweden is
interfering with the local lumber in
dustry, and private observers say
the average temperature has been 4(
deprees Fahrenheit, above normal.
Storks arrived in Kovno late ir
January to the great surprise of nat
uralists, who declare they have nev
er known the birds to return so early
in the year to the Baltic states.
In Hildburghausen, Saxe-Meiningen
a plum tree in full bloom has attract
eo attention, and adds to the strange
freaks of nature noticeable through
out Central Europe during this singu
larly mild weather.

Artist Models of Capri
Work Well at Low Wage
CHICAGO, Mar. 2—Because lie
could hire a model for $18 a month,
and that other things were relatively
cheaper and easier, Elihu Vedder, the
noted American painter of midwest
ern birth, chose to spend more than
sixty years in Rome rather than to
practice his profession at home. So
spoke George R. Barse, Vedder’s con
feree and neighbor on the island of
Capri, who has just brought here an
j exhibition of some of Vedder’s work.
“For that same reason, I make Cap
; ri my home,” Mr. Barse said, “and
| probably it is influential in causing
! some of our other American artists
j to spend most of their time abroad, j
i In this country I would have to pay j
l .$1.25 an hour for a model, and en
! gage her from an agency. I could
! never adjust myself to this cut and
! dried standardized way of working,
i Perhaps the younger men can, but 1
' am of the old school.
“Over there l hire a model to pose
for rne exclusively and it is under- i
stood dial she is to pose for me)
whenever I need her and as long as !
I want her to. i pay her $15 to
«1S a month and when I am away I
I she can work :.l anytiing < me she de-1
