A sneaky and persistent cold has taken
grip on Spring and attempted to dampen
Its ambition. Even tho thermometer
seems ashamed of itself these days to bo
hovering in such a neighborhood with tho
un laughing In Its face. In fact, Spring,
if far, has brought Indefinite weather
, 'with it. Without an overcoat you feel
- you are taking a cold bath unexpectedly,
i end with an overcoat you feel you lmve
J lost the Bnap of youthi
But as the sunshine beckons to you, re
member it's only a veneer, and that be
neath it tho microbes of pneumonia, rheu
matism and pleurisy have formed an
alliance and are waiting to descend upon
you the minute you attempt to strut
around in mlddle-of-August attire.
So don't be? a, sartorial pioneer Just be
cause another leaf has been torn from tho
calendar, Oh, yes, it's Spring, according
to the almanac, but stick to your heavy
clothes unless you want to view tho
flowers, and the foliage Irom the wrong

PITTSBURGH, April 2. Negotiations

If the contract is made the company
will build un addition to its Atha walks

for export trade. Thla would cost ap
proximately J6.000.000.
Tho contract would give a largo force

The cost of tools und electric cranes foi

said, would more than double tho slzo
