we'd been rooming together ever

THE room assignor told US there

We got good seats down front, and.
judging from the house they had,
they didn't have to hang out the

just like fashion-plate. But when
you put the glasses on him and
brought him up close, he was nothing

LIGHT SNOWFALL
ALL OVER STATE

The snowfall during March was

parts Of the mountain region. making
the third month in succession with
relatively light amounts, according
TO f. II. Brandenburg, district fore
caster in Denver Storms were not
lacking but precipitation was general
only during the last three days of
the month.
On the middle drainage of the
South Platte and in the region drain
ed by the southern tributaries of the
Arkansas somewhat more than the
normal snowfall occurred, but in the
rest of the drainage area of these
streams deficiency was general.
Marked deficiencies occurred
throughout the region drained by the
Rio Grande, and over the greater part
of the Grand, Gunnison, and San
Juan watersheds.
The average depths of snow on the
ground on the different watersheds
at the end OF the month DO not diff
fer materially from the depths on
corresponding date a year ago; the
water equivalent. however. is greater.
At number Of stations the water
equivalent of the snow on the ground
has been determined; at others it has
been estimated AT the end of March
the average water equivalents were
as follows: South Platte. $50 in
ches; North Platte. $50 inches; Ar

inches; Grand. $50 inches: Gunni-

WRITE STORIES FOR
MOVING PICTURE PLAYS
New, Spare Time Profession For Men

$500 in Six Months.

Owing to the large number of new
motion picture theaters which are be-
ing opened throughout the country,
there is offered to the men and wom-
en- OF today, new profession, name
ly, that of writing moving picture
plays. Producers are paying from
S25 to $3.50 for each scenario ac-
cepted, upon which they can build
a photo play.
$500 in Six Months.
AS 1t only requires a few hours
time to construct complete play,
you can readily see the immense pos
sibilities in this work. One man,
who gave the idea a tryout, writes
that he earned $500 in six months.
1t is possible for an intelligent per-
sen to meet with equal success.
One feature of the business which
should appeal to everyone, is that the
work may be done at home in spare
time. No literary ability is required
and women have as great an oppor-
tunity as men. Ideas for plots are
constantly turning up, and may be
put in sceneario form and sold for a
good price.
