WEATHER MIXTURE
BRINGS PHENOMENA
December Thunderstorm,
Brilliant Dying Sun, Rain,
Cold Combined

A general mixture of weather in
volving most Of the menu that the
weather man has to offer was expert
enced here late yesterday as unseason-
ably mild temperatures gave way to
frigid blasts that blew in from the
west and north.
Within the space of little more than
an hour there were cloudy skies, a
fierce thunderstorm with a heavy
rain, then a brilliant late afternoon
sun, accompanied by brisk winds out
of the north bringing rapidly falling
temperatures.
It. was one of those rarities that
Nature offers once in very great
while. With the remainder of fall and
winter was also one of the most bril-
liant sunsets observed in a long, long
while. In late afternoon, only a short
while before the sun set, the clouds
hanging low in the west parted and
the slanting rays of the sun beamed
in red and gold on taller buildings
and, at the proper angle, lighted win
dowpanes as if the entire interior of
the building was ablaze.
For three days the weather fore
cast was for rain, and instead there
was a brilliant sun and temperatures
so mild that overcoats were unneces-
sary part of the time. But last nights
forecast was for colder weather, and
there was no mistake about that this
time 1t was here today.

any one caught shooting fireworks in
the city limits. And the prohibition
applies on your property as well as on
the streets.
There has been a decided disre-
spect for this law in recent years, and
they have been shot in crowds and
thrown at autos, all of which is en-
dangering the lives of our people, And
it is the hope of the police that those
who through thoughtlessness, have
been guilty of this in the past will re-
frain from such practices now. It GER
tainly is not the desire to enforce by
fear this law we would much prefer
to have it enforced through the CO.
operation of the people.
"And in the residential section it
should be remembered that the loud
explosions occurring at all hours of
the night are highly annoying to the
sick, the aged and others not expect
ing such noises.
$50 again, allow me to urge the
whole-hearted cooperation of our peo
pie, both young and old. that there
may be no injuries or deaths from this
source during the Christmas season."
