SLEPT OUT IN OPEN AIR DURING
REGENT STORM AND ENJOYED IT
While nearly everyon in Portland
and in fact throughout ths entire north
wast was grumbling righteously because
It was so very cold, ther was oat In
Sell wood a small brigade, of folk, who
slept right out in tha, open air ail th
time, and. impossible as it, may .seem,
really enjoyed the weather.'
Most or tnem .were sick, in .td and
ell of them ware hospital, patients, but
they say that nothing- has don them so
much . good a- that-10 days of almost
rero weather, with, that cold east wind
blowing about - them? in a manner that
made overcoats mighty popular, with
most people. . j.-. v ., - .
It all took place at th Open Air san
itorlum and according to MiesiCi "Me-
Namara, who is in charge, th lnstltu
tlon has never met with as much sue
cess during Its career a it did during
the unusually cold weather.
The patients, everyon of them, re
mained out of doors all th time and
not a slngl step was taken in the way
of closing up the doors and windows
in oraer to make tn aurrounding. a
little warmer. Miss MoNamara said
ii mgnt:
W just went ahead exactly a if
nothing had happened, paying no atten
tion to th' wind and snow and there
was not a slngl patient who did not
benefit by th pur cold air. Not on
took cold and -w met with th very
best of success. Of course th patients
were all accustomed to the out of doors
and that mad a difference, but w got
along a great deal better than you po
pi who, ar used xo closed doors and
a warm fir. W .hardly felt the, cold

We had Plenty of good-fresh air and wa

O. N. Ford, who has done much , to aid

the mains will be laid and be in opera

the city officially. The main will be
paid for out of the district assessment.
At the present time the -people are
