and thus making possible the more
accurate prediction Of approach
ing storms.
This change will have no effect
upon the temperatures during the
warm months, but in the winter
! the minimum for the day may be
reached after a. m.
The mean temperature report
ed for February was 63,3 degrees

NOT UNUSUAL

Yesterday, March 2, is the earliest
date in the history of local weathe.
records when the first spring tenn
perature of over 90 was reached, al
though on February II, 1922 and
February 13, 1924, temperatures OF

These figures were compiled by

despite amateur weather authorities
to the contrary, that this March is
not unusually warm, since, with the

atureS of 80 or above occurred in
either February or March.
In addition, in the majority of
these years, temperatures of over
80 occurred in this period, one tenn
perature of 95, being recorded for
March Is, 1881. The records indi-
cate that the valley may expect a
warm spell either the last of Feb
ruary or in March, this having &C.
Cured every year since 1922 with
the exception of 1888 when a maxi
mum of 80 was not reached until
April /, and in 1923 when 80 was re-
ported on April D.

MAILS CARD
IN FIRE BOX

Tom Reams, chief of the local fire
department, whether it be in eX-
tinguishing a stubborn blaze, aiding
some unfortunate in distress or rem
dering a service of some other ma
ture to his community or its resi-
dents.
This morning Tom had an oppor-
tunity to render a service OF this
some other nature and did SO
with a smile although the circum-
stances surrounding it would cause
many another man to splutter and
perhaps say a few hard words.
Shortly before 9 o'clock this NOR
ming the siren atop the fire sta
ton sent out its raucous call to ac-
ton. Out went the firetrucks fol-
lowed by volunteer firemen in their
cars Fastening to the scene OF the
expected blaze. Arriving at the scene
of the call-Fifth and Park-and
finding no fire in the vicinity, Tom
examined the alarm box at that cor
ner. Imagine his surprise when he
discovered the door of the box open
the alarm plunger pulled down and
resting against the inside OF the box
a postcard signed "Mettie' and con-
signed to an address in Alamagor-

Tom is a sport of the highest type
he mailed the card at the post Of

that in the future, persons use the
boxes provided for mail by Uncle
Sam, and not the city's fire alarm
boxes.
