HEAVY FROST MAY NIP
 THE EASTER BONNETS
Observer Horton Kills Joy In Bir-
 mingham Flapper Hearts

Heavy frost will greet the flowers or the new Easter bonnets, nip the corsages at the new Easter waist line and chill the wind that will whip the new Easter dress about ankles clad in new Easter hose. This was the doleful prediction of the United States weather bureau, received by 10. c. Horton at 9:20 o'clock Fri day night. Of course the weather bureau never mentioned flowers flappers, jelly beans, regular folks and Easter finery in its report, which read:
 Heavy frost Is predicted for North Alabama and possible central portions Sunday morning in the event the weather clears"
 MT. Horton destroyed the last hope. He looked at his instruments late Friday afternoon and forecast clear weather. He added that frost might be expected.
 It's possible that Jack Frost wishes 8 to celebrate Easter with new coat There Is one possible escape. It may be that the elements are placing signs of frost in the sky with the inten- tion of sending warm sun Sunday so they may have the pleasure of calling April Fool"
 Should the frost appear it will have it's compensations. The man wearing the old suit will have an excuse.
