Washington, March 26 (AP)-
The weather man advised the pub
lie today to "dress warmly and
snugIy" for Easter Sunday.
ut is certain to be a cool or
cold Easter for most of the cOun-
try east of the Rocky Mountains,
said Charles Mitchell, Washing
ton fOrecaster.
"The possibility of rain or snow
is too uncertain to predict nOw.''
Mitchell said IAN enormous
amount of cold air now covered
much of the country east of the
Rockies, with some temperatures
AZ degrees below normal.
There is also a disturbance over
the gulf coast, he said.
If the warm, moist air from the
gulf meets the cold air mass,
Mitchell said, there is certain to
be rain or snow over the eastern
and northern parts of the United
States. He added unusual cOndi-
tiOns blocking these masses now
made an exact prediction of pre-
cipitatiOn impossible.

APPROPRIATION BILL IN EARLY
 BEFORE HOUSE
Several New Bills and Memorials Presented at
 Saturday Session

The appropriations bill made its initial appearance in the House this morning, introduced by the Ways and Means committee. In its pres- ent shape it is merely the recom- mendation of the Budget Board and calls for a total appropriation for the biennium of $3,027, $50. It goes back to the committee which will start dissecting it, and may not even be recognized for the same bill when it finally is passed by the Leg islature This is the earliest date the bill has made it's initialAappear- ance in several sessions and it usu- ally is the last one to be approved, as it carries the appropriations on which the Territory must be con- ducted during the next two years.
 Three other new bills were intro duced today. Nell Scott of the Third Division offered two measures, one that no marriage can be performed in the Territory until three days after the license has been issued and the other requiring that drivers of machines in which passengers are carried must be finger-printed before getting a license to drive.
 Ed Coffey of the Third intro- duced a "blue sky" bill to have con- trol over the sale of securities in the Territory. The set-up would be under the Auditor with license fee of $50 for companies and $25 for agents and would require that both present proof of reliability of themselves and the stocks they pro- pose. It is patterned after the Wash ington State securities law.
 Three new memorials were pre- sented, one by Nell Scott asking the Legislature to go on record favor ing the child labor amendment, one by James Davis of the First, asking that the waterfront property in front of the Pioneers Home at Sit ka, held by the Forest Service, be deeded to the Territory for use of the Home, and memorial by Cof- fey asking the duty on herring inn port be increased from $2.5O per barrel to $5 and the duty on inn ported canned salmon, crabs, ana clans be raised from 25 per cent to 40 per cent.
