SPRING WEATHER IN FEBRUARY. In
direct contrast to weather conditions of
February, 1920, we are enjoying delight
fully mild weather and also good travel
ing. There is more or less ice, mostly on
the street crossings and walks, but if
melts at monday and is usually rough.
There is not the slightest sign of ice in
the bay and even Kirby Lake has foot
or more of water over the ice, which is
scarcely seen beneath But there are
probably several clustering storms booked
for US before we really have spring. But
present weather conditions are fully ap-
preciated and enjoyed.
