Their FIRST SNOW
California Riddles Get Chance
at Winter Sports.
Is Heaviest Fall in San Fran
cisco Since 1887.

San Francisco, Jan. 30.-California
kiddies by the thousands have seen
their first snow. For more than
twenty-four hours, snow has fallen in
termittently from Paso Robles north.
The fall is heavy in the mountains,
of considerable depth in the foothills
and quite apparent at times in the
lowlands. In the bay regions the fall
was sufficient in Berkeley and Pied
mont for snow balling.
In San Francisco it melted as fast
as it fell, altho Twin Peaks, two high
hills overlooking the city, were COW
cred with five inches of snow. Fifty
members of the Alphine club were
snowbound by the blizzard on top of
Mount Tamalpias and were forced to
tramp thru three feet of snow which
had drifted at some points waist deep
in order to reach a point where the
trains were running.
The snow fall was the heaviest in
San Francisco since 1887. Snow has
fallen but seventeen times in the
forty-six years the United States
weather bureau has been established
here.
The weather man predicts a con-
tinuance of the storm for at least an
other forty eight hours

COMB SAGE TEA IN
FADED OR GRAY HAIR
and Sulphur darkens so naturally
nobody can tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened. glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance. this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking a any drug
store for 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get a large bottle
of this old-time ecipe, improved by
the addition of other ingredients. all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
a well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
its so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears: after another
application or two, it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft

They take hold of the trouble and

SAY SNOW NOT THE BLAME
Chicago Exports Doubt Weight Could
Have Crushed Theater Roof.

Chicago. Jan. 30.-In washington
the average snow weighs about seven
or eight pounds per cubic foot, said
Prof. Henry ]. Cox of the Chicago
weather bureau, in commenting upon
the caving in of the roof of the
Knickerbocker theater.
IF the snow was three feet deep on
the theater building, 1 doubt if there
was a strain of more than twenty
pounds to each square foot" he said.
Some Chicago architects expressed
doubt that such pressure would have
crushed in the roof, and said they be-
lieved investigation would develop
some structural strain. They pointed
out that Chicago building ordinances
require a roof which will support a
strain of fifty pounds to the square
foot

INTEREST IN DODGE CUT
Wednesday County VIII Know New
Price on Car.
What is the purchase price?

What is the purchase price?
This slight but important alteration
seems to have been made in the fam
Gus slogan spread broadcast by Dodge
Brothers a few months ago. The
change was brought about by the most
persistent epidemic of public curiosity
since the time when Dodge Brothers
first announced that they were about
to market a car and then refused to
tell what kind of a car it was going
to be. That was eight years ago.
Dodge Brothers latest bid for a COM
plete and exclusive monopoly on pub
lie attention, SO far as it pertains to
the automotive industry, came on Jan
they were about to make substantial
reduction in the price of their cars
and then declined to tell what the
price would be. "
The mere fact that they will not tell
until February 1 makes everyone want
to know Immediately.
w H. lines, the Dodge Brothers
dealer in Topeka, was commenting on
the subject today, somewhat on the
order of the foregoing paragraphs,
when a voice on the telephone in
quired, eff there wasn't a chance to
get a little advance information on
those prices" There were good rea-
sons, the voice said. why the Tip"
should be given out in this particular
case, land it would be sure to turn out
to your advantage" But the dealer
expressed his regrets and the voice
reluctantly withdrew.
THAT is the way it has been going
ever since January H." the dealer
said. Il never appreciated what an
intense interest there was in the new
price until this occurred. That fellow
who just called probably wanted the
information for some business reason,
or maybe for sheer curiosity. Perhaps
he had a bet up with someone. Any
how he refused to give his name. The
great majority of those who call, how
ever. leave their names and telephone
numbers and on February 1 we are
going to have a special staff busy
calling all these people and giving
them the real ncMS''
