Springs Awakening

7 last the growing things are soon to revive at

kindness in the skies that did not shed copious
tears in sympathy with the earths distress Freezing
spells have come and gone. light snow and creeks
and ponds still gasp for thirst. Human beings have
shouted Spring" but there spring. 1t has so
far been false alarm. The growing things not
be deceived by the balmy temperatures that pre-
vailed in January and February. For they know full
well that there spring in the earth where its
roots seek its supply Of moisture and life.
But with the high March sun shining and it's
strong winds blowing, there begins stir, for the in
evtable spring is at hand and will emerge from the
earth again succuent shoots and tender herbs for the
new life fails. Even the atmosphere is
tinged with sharpness that suggests the earths
lease of it's cold frost Along the river blossoms forth
the optimistic pussywlow, gentle token of rebirth,
that the earth will soon be green once again. With
April showers life will start anew to repair the win
ter's ravages. Where careless driver ploughed
through the lawn winds forces wrenched the trees
bough from it's FORM it will start its patient work of
healing its wounds without so much as whimper.
Then comes the month of May, with flower beds
and gardens in colorful array. The fragrance of a
bossoming orchard waited in gentle spring air. The
tender grass turning its blades of green to be kissed
by affectonate Trees swayng rhythmically to
lifting wind Birds caroling merry to the rejuven-
ated earth. The bluegreen lake under an azure sky
with its glistening rolling in an undulating
ton, breaking against the shore in swish-swashng
lullaby. Tractor motors humming droning song, as
will the busy bees in their found clover All this
is spring. most wonderful season. symbolic of youth
Nature opens its eyelids after q restfu sleep, and
starts work in the dawn Of new cycle Of life and

have this band represent the district at state

summer. Rehearsals are held in centrally situated

''Fire-Stopping" Suggestions

n ORE deaths attributed to inhaled intensely
VI heated air than from burns, according to Thorn
F. Daugherty assistant chief, New York fire
department. That is why he says, that experienced
remen instinctively throw anxious eyes to the top
floor they upon the scene, for here is
what usually happens.
If fire starts in the basement or a lower story
smoke and intense heat sucked into the open stair
way. Soon solid column of intense heat is pushing
against the ceiling of the top floor. Should person
chance to smell smoke at this moment and open the
door, the heat will whip through like streak of
lightning and overcome the person. The open door
created draft.
Advise under these circumstances is that one
should not open the door until he has felt with the
flat hand whether the door wall is cool. If so it
is safe to open it. Otherwise open window, jump or
wait for assistance.
Why most dwelling houses burn up quickly was
explained in "The Parents Magazine" by Robert s..
Moulton Due to the fact that most walls and floors
have hollow spaces, these act in effect like fues from
the cellar to the attic. Fire creeps up all sides al
most before it is discovered He suggests that these
should not connect with each other Walls and
floors at intervals should be closed The open stairway
is regarded by fremen deadly curse. It is said
that twenty-eight persons die every day from fire in
this country Every two minutes of the day and night
home burns somewhere in the United States.

we're pointing to the necessity for
greater dignity in the Assembly and a
concentration on constructive effort. 1t
was predicted that Provisional Presi-

tonight would be the signal for serious
work.
The problems facing the Assembly
included settlement of the Catalonian
demands for autonomy. adjustment of
the restlessnesS in Navarro, Valencia,
Galicia and Andalusia, solution of the
syndicalist and strike situations, sepa-
ration of church and state and, above
all, the drafting Of a constitution sat-

Battles Expected.
The formal opening is expected to
usher in a battle among diverse inter-
eStS, which will last until late in the
Summer and afford the Deputies,
silenced since the regime Of Gen. Primo
de Rivera, an opportunity to air their
pent-up views.
During debates over Assembly regula-
tons last night virtually every one Of
the 460 Deputies shouted for a chance
to be heard and the meeting ended in
an uproar. It was SO boisterous the
chairman grabbed his hat and left,
automatically adjourning the body.
