BOSTON, Mass, March T.
Spring and summer-like weather
which, prevailed in the eastern
half of the country Saturday and
over the Atlantic states most of
Sunday was brought to an abrupt
end yesterday afternoon and last
night as seasonably cold air swept
southeastward. This cold air now
covers all of the eastern and
centralaU. S. with the exception
of southern Florida. Tempera-
lures in the 80s were quite COM
mon yesterday afternoon in all
of the Gulf States. High tempera-
lures of 80 were reported during
the afternoon in Texas at San
Antonio and Laredo. These tenn
peratures contrast rather sharply
with temperatures in the low SOS
in the same sections this morning.
M nfi'mu m temperatures this
morning were much lower than
yesterday over all of the eastern
half of the country except in
Florida. Low temperatpres rang
ed from near zero in extreme
northern Maine where tempera-
turesia1erage nearly 80 degrees
lower than yesterday morning TO
the mild and upper Cos in south
ern Florida and extreme south
Texas. rs.
q Showers which accompanied
The advance of the cold air have
given way to rather rapid clear
ing. Thunderstorms which de-
veloped as a result of the con-
trast in temperatures yesterday
as the cold air replaced the warm
air inothe Gulf States resulted
generally in only moderate
amounts of precipitation. Fair
weather is the rule rather than
the exception over all of the U. S.
this morning. Cloudiness in the
New England states which rep
resents the sole remaining aspect
of the storm which passed off
into the Atlantic yesterday and
last night is clearing slowly. The
large High pressure area which
follows is our assurance of fair
and seasonably cold weather
over the eastern U. S. today.

MachinI Davenport says he found
a wallet in the vines under
Machin's body. The wallet was
taken to Jones, and he said it
was his, and stated there was a
$40 bill and a money order in
the purse.
Davenport checked the wallet
and found the money order, but
the $40 bill was gone. A complete
search was made around, but the
other man could not be found.
Davenport got the names of
six witnesses. Machin was taken
to police Headquarters, where Ira
Albury, justice of the peace and
Jones appeared. Jones swore out
a warrant, charging Machin with
unarmed robbery. Police Chief
Joseph Kemp then turned Machin
over to the sheriff's office.

Colonial Fence Easy
To Build, Is Cheap
And Good LOOKING
By w. Wordsworth Wood

Many home-owners fence ir
their property with a type of en-
closure that is completely inap.
propriate and detracts greatly
from the appearance Of the house
and grounds.
BY actual count, there are
more than 20 different types OF
fence in general use throughout
this country. They run from
picket and rail fences to the
stump and rough-stone fences
seen on farms.
OF all the fences available. the
colonial fence is probably the best
looking and most practical. as well
as the most economical to build
This type Of fence derives its
name from the fact that 1t was
a favorite in Colonial days. A
horse or man could step over It
yet it kept sheep and cattle from
wandering.
About so Per Cent Cheaper.
A colonial fence is feet high
and follows the contour Of the
ground. It is built by setting
posts or 2 by IS into the ground
at intervals of six feet, laying q
strip Of l by 6 along the tops
with a two-inch overland, anc
setting another strip the same
size directly below the cap and or
the face. of the posts. An inter.
mediate strip is set midway be.
tween the top and the ground.
From a cost angle. 1t is piooa oily
so per cent cheaper than any other
type of finished fence.
