block its road to permanent
supremacy!
Such is the warming of the
most eminent scientists in the

night so that none of their GUS
toners should miss his copy of

These small men, some of them
not more than 10 years old, are
dead game sports.
While grownups were afraid
their grownup toes might posi-

deterioration in their health, The

along without a whimper, bring

So it's up to the Indians and
. Tacomans to make their own
weather predictions.
There was enough yesterday to
befuddle even the calmest wealth
err man. But the last straw
which broke the back of his cal
culations this morning was the
fact that nearly every wire is
down and Tacoma is practically
isolated. And how can you tell
what the weather has up its
sleeve when you can't catch it on
its way?
It's More Snow!
But the weather man was
game. He was willing to risk
a guess.
