Birmingham SniffIes, Shakes And Stamps Its Feet
 In Misery

Birmingham cold wave spent it's force in one big effort and Sunday was gradually relinquishing it's icy grasp which for more than 24 hours had held the city shivering in Its worst experience since 1918. That the worst of it is over was forecast Sunday by E. c. Horton, weather observer, who said official readings had registered a high temp erature of 26 degrees following a gradual climb Sunday from the low record of degrees above zero at [ o'clock. y$N se
 Sunday night, he indica1ed. would register be&wcsm~15 5 safyd-z6- degrees at the coldest hour. Slowly rising temperature is expected to continue through Monday until the last ves- tiGe of the extreme cold is gone. Stilled wind and bright sunshine Sunday helped considerably in send ing the mercury on its upward climb. affording much needed relief to the barred-in inhabitants of the city.
 Crumbling ice cakes Sunday after noon were a sure sign the weather was moderating. Huge chunks which Saturday had remained intact even were broken and soft Sunday after noon. Dripping water hydrants did not freeze and fewer stalled automo- piles were noted parked about the streets.
 Few Extreme Sufferers.
 Few cases of extreme suffering were reported in Birmingham dur ing the peak of the cold weather. An occasional drunk, chilled through even after partaking of the fire water bootleggers sell for whisky. was taken as sure evidence Bfr- mingham was having an old time cold spell. Several cases of this na- ture were reported to the police de- partment.
 Automobilists were the worst vexed citizens by reason of the cold. many of them being forced to leave their cars parked at downtown street curbs until a frozen radiator could be mended. Supply dealers reported big rush for anti-rreeze concoc- tions. As q last resort many Saturday and Sunday morning had their first dosage of corn whisky in an effort to move an obstinate Or chilled motor.
 Burst pipes and plumbing fixtures kept the craft on the jump for the period of the cold. Many persons will

All in all the experiene had not been fundamentally different rom many other freezes Brmingham has had. Possibly after this. however, Rirmingha will bear with F. C. Horton. at least for whlle until his well known weather predictions have had ample time in which to materiallze. At least Horton says ne thinks they will.
