| i * _ WITH MARBLES COME SPRING . . ... They always say it is a sure sign of spring when one sees small boys rolling marâ€" bles on the sidewalks. Many men, no doubt, can recall how in their youth they were encouraged by a springâ€"like day to get out on the walks and roll the little spheres. . Playing marâ€" bles is one of the oldest pastimes known to the human race. Marbles are said to have been in use as playthings by children from earliest times, and marbles are shipped to all countries. The fascination of the little rolling things has been felt by youngsters in all ages, A helpful public service has been perâ€" â€" Kormed by youth organizations which have established reguâ€" _lar competitions in this game and have adopted rules for the play, and have seen to it that the contestants followed the rulés and played fair. Rolling and popping marbles takes skill of hand and an accurate eye, and it gives the small boys a good start on sports.
