.SPR|NGL|KE WEATHER
BRINGS HARB|NCERS
Larks and BIuebirds in City
Parks and Country-Rain
Predicted for Tonight.

Rain tonight, with increasing cold to-
morrow and probably snow by tomorrow
afternoon or evening, is the best guess
the weather bureau has for the climatic
conditions of the next twenty-four hours
or so. Tonight's rain is to follow a warm
day, increasing in cloudiness, and the
colder weather, with it's accompanying
proba ble-snow is to be the forerunner of
some actual winter weather that is on its
way hither from Medicine Hat or some
other zero emporium in the far north
west.
But at that, nobody ever saw much
finer January day than yesterday. Just
cool enough to be bracing. and with the
ground dried out by the wind and sun
shine of Saturday until there was little
or no mud on the drives and walks Of the
their winter Information. Connecticut
avenue was popular promenade, as was
shown by the dozens and scores and hum
dreds of strOllers who passed UP and
down the sidewalks until late in the aft
ernoon. The downtown streets were
equally popular, while other crowds. with
tastes for rambling in the open, went to
the Zoo and to Rock Creek Park, the
cars leading to these resorts being crowd
ed throughout the entire afternoon.
Heavy Clothing Superfuous.
Wraps and topcoats were almost su-
perfous and the springlike air was
strongly reminiscent of late March rath-
er than mid-January. Even the birds and
the squirrels in the parks were deceived
by the temperature, and in many of the
parks. as well as out in the country, blue
birds were to be seen busily gathering
straws for nests, while out in the open
fields, in dozen directions from the
city. meadow larks whistled and sung as
If spring were really here.
The larks are here fully two months
ahead of their ordinary time. though
some of those whose notes We're heard
yesterday have probably remained since
last fall, the winter having been mild
enough to prevent their ordinary late
autumn migration.
But the mild weather has its draw
backs, in spite of the light toll it lays
upon coal bins. Colds are almost epidem-
ic in Washington, and DR.. w. c. Wood
ward, District health officer, says the I'M
seasonably warm weather is responsible
for the distressing ailment. The frequent
changes in temperature-chilly, blowy
days succeeded by balmy spring weather,
ward. makes just the right condition for
contracting colds, Group, grip and sore
threats.
The weather bureau says, however, that
the cold wave and the snow that are
headed this way will not last more than
day or SO, when weather conditions
will return to pretty much the same as
those that have ruled during the greater
part of the winter.

PROPERTY SELLS FOR $50, 900.
Located at 18th and K Streets, w. I
Miller Being Purchaser.

The property at the southwest corner
of 14th and X streets northwest has beer
transferred by Henry NJ. Bankhead to
William L. Miller. The consideration
mentioned is $4,000. which is at the rate
of $2S.62 per square foot. The frontage
on 14th street is DDS feet and on Il
street 17.3S, and the total area is 1,14i
square feet.
The improvements consist of a three.
story house used as a dwelling and front
ing on the broad sfde Of the lot along *
street. The plans of the new owner are
not known, but as the three houses ad-
joining on * street and bounded on the
west by fifteen-foOt alley recently
changed hands. it is supposed there is
some connection between the two trans
actions.
If the two properties are used together
there would be an additional frontage OF
ninety five feet on X street with good
depth to a thirty-foot alley.
