How the weather man got in bad
requires but little explanation, and
che situation may be briefly summed
up as follows:
Sunday night, shortly before
O'Clock, there arose In the west one
of the niftiest banks Of black, glow
ering storm clouds that It has ever
been the pleasure OF a baked and
boiled people to gaze upon. They
came up and on slowly but surely,
gathering density and volume as
they came. Joy, created by the an
ticipation of a fine old gully washer.
reigned supreme throughout the
city. As but little lightning and
no thunder accompanied the sky

was expected to prove all the more
satisfactory and beneficial
Then came the anguish. At $40

enough to dampcn the streets: they

There is no doubt but we
could double or treble our pres

THE lights intended to illuminate
the beaches at night are not nearly
powerful enough. A searchlight

by an inquisitive small boy would do
much to clear the moral atmosphere

sure that all the mothers in Clcvc-
