SPRING .HERE;
PROOF OF IT

Spring is here-the calendar says
SO, And the calendar is backed up
by the weather.
March 81, tne ii.st day of spring,
today brought with il a temperature
of 3S degrees above zero, four de-
grees higher than the average tenn
perature for March, according to
Weather Man Mize. During the past
week the temperature has ranged
from 25 degrees above zero to the
degree it reached this morning.
Last year the temperature on the
above zero in juneau, only one de-
gree higher than that shown today.
While this morning opened to a
clouded sky and ran, there has been
a softness to the air and warm
ness in the rain drops, the snow is
disappearing fast and somehow it
has seemed just what it is, the
first day of sprng
And that isn't all. 1t has been
noticed that the pussywillows are
out, new bright green grass is peep
ing through the earth and the trees
and berry bushes are in bud.
To make it certain that spring
has come a glance at one of the
many gatherings will prove it.
Today, Empire employees had a
difficult time making their way into
the office through the crowd of
young sportsmen gathered around
the steps, in hotly contested game
of marbles, while on the corner a
game of hide and seek was in full
swing. Across the street a crowd of
little girls were busily engaged in a
hop scotching and a rope jumping
contest.
