EQUINOX STORM
BELIEF A MYTH,
HAMRICk SAYS
popular Fancy of Disturbances on
First Spring Day May Be
Shattered.

Belief of the existence OF the
oo,inoctial storm will be shattered,
in all probability, Tuesday. the
erst day of spring, as a result OF
,be rains which have been occur
ring the last few days, Andrew
uamrick, local meteorologist, be-
lieyes.
The popular belief of the equi-
noctial storm is, that at the time
when the day and night are equally
divided-March 81 and Sept. 2l-
vioIent storms occur If by the
edstence of the equinoctial storm
;c meant any rain storm lasting a
dav or longerNnd occurring two
weeks before March Il, there is
seldom a year when several equl-
noctiaIs do not occur, but IL the
belief means a rain storm lasting
at least three days and occurring
within two or three days before
March q, there is seldom a year
when one occurs, Mr.. Hamrlck ex-
planned.
curing now, will be over by Tues
dav, Mr.. Hamrick predicts, but
there may be a chance of another,
although no forecast can be made.
The prediction today is for unset
fled weather, rains this afternoon,
tonight and tomorrow. The amount
of precipitation March 81 has been
shown to be no greater than any
time before or after that date.
Spring will officially begin at 3:49
a. III. next Tuesday.
Expect River Rise.
With the breaking and going out
of ice at Lacrosse, Wis, yesterday
morning there will be a slight rise
in the river here. However, there
is no danger of floods. since this
locality was fortunate in that the
ice went out Feb. "a. earlier than
in other years. Lacrosse is the
first weather station on the Missis-
sippi above Dubuque. The ice has
been out from Dubuque and down
river several weeks.
At lacrosse there was rise yes
terday morning of IL feet, at Du-
buque this morning the stage was
7.6, rise of /, and locally the
stage was G.3, rise of / of foot.
The rains viii also cause slight
rise in the river.
Due to the heavy work at the
local weather Office caused by the
river condition, Carol A. kahler,
924 West SIKH street, Davenport,
has been employed as temporary
assistant to take the place of E. E.
Unger, observer. who has been tenn
nOrariIy aDnOi3ted in charge of the
Charles City, Iowa, office.

Healthy Body and Pocketbook for
Members Who Take Up the Course

Healthier persons and pocket
books are expected to be the result
OF the four-day cooking school
which The Argus will conduct be-
ginning next Tuesday afternoon in
the Masonic temple.
Interest in the school is increas-
ing among the young women and
matrons of the city, who are plann-
ing to attend each OF the classes
SO that they will not miss any of
the instruction. Glass members
need not bring aprons. All that is
necessary for them to do is to bring
notebook and pencil and be pre-
pared to watch the demonstrations
as given by Miss Vera M. Megowen,
in charge of the school, and to COPY
the recipes and instructions on
preparation of the foods, which
have the most food value, what con-
stitutes a good diet, and what i'll
persons should avoid.
Plans to accommodate several hun
dreds of people each afternoon are
being made by The Arugs. Miss Me-

DRESSMAKERS OF
PARIS NOW OPEN
DOORS TO PRESS

Paris.-That little world of its
own in Paris which has to do ex-
clusively with the creation of wom-
ems clothing has been thrown into
a high state of excitement through
the recent radical" departure of
one of its leading members in in
viting newspapermen to view his
spring and summer dresses.
In doing so the dressmaker
smashed a tradition as old as the
Paris dressmaking business itself
which has always boasted of the
fact that it needed no newspaper to
assist it to greatness.
The representative of the press
have been vigorously barred here
tofo-e and many of the big estab-
lishments whose names are well
known 10 American women have
gone so far as to demand a special
passport with a picture from all
those who entered their establish
ments. Those few special fashion
writer's who have obtained admis-
sion were made to believe they had
been highly honored.
Jean Patou, a young Frenchman
with American ideas. decided re-
Gently that his associates were
wrong. He. therefore, arranged a
special party. invited all the best
known newspapermen in Paris
foreign and French-and revealed
to them the secrets of his art. Any
one was free to carry away a care
full description of the gowns dis
played.
Patou's move has caused great
discussion in the Paris fashion
world and there is much specula-
ton as to whether it will force
other dressmakers to open their
doors to the press. Many we'll
known houses which have felt the
pinch of recent hard times are won
dering whether they are wrong.

right up to 5000 when Robert Leon

Mae is his favorite actress and wife
stepped right in and bid $3.50. Be

LYRICS
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH
THE MAN WHO OWES NO MAN

<<T'LL ask no odds of any man,
No favor from friend;
Alone I'll work, alone I'll plan,
Alone attain the end.
I'll harvest only what l sow,
The wealth of field or shelf;
For what l own no man III owe
I'll find my joy myself.
"I'll ask no odds of anyone,
I'll steer my own canoe,
Do for myself whatever's done,
AS you must do for you.
I'll owe no man for anything,
I'll live my life alone
Whatever fortune fate may bring.
My own shall be my own"
Yet brother, you will see the bloom.
That other mortals sowed,
Anothers roses will perfume
The long and weary road
The very path you upward tread
In independent pride
With naughty and uplifted head,
Was made by men who died.
What steel your soul, what stone your
heart,
What selfish folly yours,
You cannot live your life apart
The human bond endures.
You owe to others what you are,
Each lovely rose you see
And you must plant for years afar
The roses yet to be.

DOES A BARBER POLE HAVE
STRIPES?

TN THE old days the barber used to
be the surgeon. or blood-letter, as
we'll as the shaver and cutter of
hair, for surgery in those times was
confined almost entirely to the re-
moval of blood by means of a cut in
the arm or leg.
The round brass ball at the top of
his pole or sign was originally the
brass basin which he used for lather
ing his customers who desired to be
shaved and the pole itself was the
staff which persons held while the
blood-letting was being done. The
ribbons (now painted stripes) repre-
sented the bandages used during the
operation-the white one being the
bandage as it was first applied and
the red one that which was taken off
the wound after the patient was
through. AS time went on, the func-
lions of the barber were gradually
taken over by the medical profession,
but his pole remains as symbol of
his former glory.
