K.AIX AND
WARMER
FORE-
CAST.
Rain, warmer with aoutherly
winds!
Such is the weather man's fore
cast for today in Western Ore
gon. The snow and cold are at
an end he believes.
Testerday the temperature va
ried only one degree, being at 32
at its coldest and 33 at its warm
est, which accounted for the
steady fall of snow. The precip
itation amounted to .52 of an
inch.
Winter had the last laugh. Just
when everybody was writing the folks
back Bast about the balmy weather in
these parts and how it was so mild, the
boys were wearing their B. V. D.s. and
all that, along came the only real snow
storm of the season.
It was a last effort, the weather man
says, but it was enough to turn the
laugh. Having had its little Joke. Win
ter eased up last night and a warm
rain is scheduled as next on the pro
gramme. Summer Indications Retire.
While the frigid streak lasted, some
Tierfeftlv DnAI .... .J .1 .
had been rushing the season, along

went back to the cedar chest. The boys
Will be less enthusiastic next time.
Who would have thought it of innocent-seeming
little February? To set
out, as it did,, with every appearance of
fcpring, and wind up with the February
snow-fall record of 23 years?
Statistics Tell Story.
It sounds absurd, sure enough, but
among the figures that never lie are
Weather Bureau statistics. They show
that the snowfall for this month, up
to 5 o'clock last nlKht. when Winter
gave its final ha! ha! and called it
quits, was 12.9 Inches. Five inches of
that fell after 5 o'clock Friday night,
and the whole of it came down after
February 19.
Not since February, 1S93, a month
by which all the oldest Inhabitants
swear, with its total recorded snowfall
of 20 inches, has such a thing hap
pened in our fair city.
Right at this point somebody with
an evil memory calls attention to Feb
ruary of last year. Wrong again. Only
8.2 Inches of snow fell last February,
though January had 32.9.
What snow there was last Febru
ary was no Joking matter, though, for
the mercury fell to 22 degrees and
there was a shrieking east wind.
Whereas the coldest it has been during
this cold snap is 30 degrees, and yes
terday the thermometer had a hard
time staying down to 32.
Whatever the grownups think about
the weather of yesterday and the day
Deiore, it was great fun for snowbirds
and children.
' The snowbirds were about as badly
rooiea as tne rest of the population
They thought Spring was here, and
those that hadn't already flown were
all packed up. When the weather
double-crossed them and snow came
down by the inch, they Jumped for the
snow banks like chickens at a dust
neap.
The pheasants, the robins and others
of the bird family did not enjoy it at
an. carl XJ. Shoemaker, State Game
Warden, who has the welfare of all
Turds at heart, sent out an appeal yes
tcrday to scatter bread crumbs and
wheat. It was answered generously.
Country pheasants have a harder time
of it than their city brothers when it
snows. Many of the farmers are look
ine out for them, however, and provtd
ing wheat, though at present war prices
it would be about as cheap to throw
cut gold dust.
Old Sleds Dragged Oat.
As for the children, they dragged
out last year's sleds and hiked for
the nearest hill. Cement walks, hard-

Improvements of up-to-date city life
do not make the best sliding places, but
wherever there was an incline and the
least bit of a snow covering, some child
was negotiating the descent on a sled.
Cl.y kids nowadays don't realize what
they miss from the old days of real
bob-sledding and such.
There is something about snow that
makes a real boy lust for battle. All
over town where "the fellers" got to
gether they built forts and had snow
ball fights.
One bunch of boys l'vlng in the
neighborhood of Kast Ninth and Brazee
streets built an elaborate fort and a
big snowhouse. Any pacifist will tell
you that a fortification is a challenge
for war, and so it proved in this case.
The fort was Just nicely built and
aching for a scrap when it got one.
Down swooped a hostile gang from Al
bina and attacked it and its gallant de
fenders. Lively Fight Ensues.
There was one lively fight for a
time. The garrison finally beat off the
attacking masses and there was great
rejoicing in Paris. But there is more
to war than glory, as the boys soon
learned, for back came the Albina army
with huge reinforcements.
What they did to that snow fort In
the course of the second pitched battle
that now waged, with artillery barking
all along the front and machine-gun
squads mowing down heroes on both
sides, would make a 42-centimeter
gun perspire.
The defenders did manage to save
their snow house, slightly damaged, but
their ramparts were battered into ruins
and their fortifications demolished.
The snow yesterday was wet and
sticky, which made it Ideal for snow
Images and snowballs. All over town
you could see snow men and snow
women standing guard over the prem
ises. .
One of the most artlstlo snow women
found in a Jitney dash about the East
Side in search of snow scenes -was
modeled by Mrs. Viola Cruickshank,
of 390 Vancouver avenue, to please the
children of the neighborhood. It
pleased them, too. you bet.

beside the snow figure while a camera

CHILDREN HATE

AND CASTOR OIL
Give Fruit Laxative When Cross,

'California Syrup of Figs" Can't
Harm Tender Stomach,
Liver, Bowels.
Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose" mother Insisted
on castor oil. calomel, cathartics. How
you hated ' them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do The children's revolt is well
founded. Their tender little "insldes"
are injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious "California Syrup of Figs." Its
action Is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to tako it: that It never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweeten
the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor
row. Ask your druggist for a BO-eent bot
tle' of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits
sold here. See that it is made by
"California Fig Syrup Company." Re
fuse any other kind with contempt.
