"Great business !" "What d'you want with 25,000 plunks?") " for the employment of idle men in street "cleaning and other work," finished the delegate in a rush. (Cries of "No! Didn't I tell you he ought to be thrown out!" "Nix on that work gag, bo.") In the end, however, the solemn-faced delegate's motion car ried, the executive committee drew up the request, and t!he dele gates marched to the city hall. There the executive committee presented the request, while the delegates stood quitly outside. Some of them" looked as if they were afraid they would be taken up. Tonight the delegates will par ade through the streets wearing "buttons, bearing thevords, "I am an undesirable citizen." Cincinnati is getting over its "Why Me?" attitude toward the convention, and beginning to really enjoy itself. o o WEATHER MAN BACKS UP THE GROUND HOG Lost The famous January thaw. Found Another zero wave. The well known January thaw, not having showed up in its prop er monti, thousands of its admir ers expected it would be ready for business when February began work. Thishaw is one of the few pleasant -spots in the winter rnonths. It is when it works. But memories don't provide any heat, no matter how much conversa tion they give rise to. Last night the thermometer drooped, dropped and tripped, un til it reached zero, at 3 a. m., there was no temperature at all. The mercury stood at 0. This morning it became some what amibtious, and laboriously climbed up to 7 above at 10 a. m. But did we feel happy. Not much ! For the weather man had just eased it over to us that tonight the temperature would be .Twelve degrees below zero. And this is the same weather man who yesterday ridiculed the ground hog and made 'faces at him. Charitable organizations, hard ly recovered from the drain of re lieving the ravages of the bitter weather of last month among the poor, are apprehensive of anoth er such siege. They declare that should such conditions obtain again the suf ferings would be unprecedented. Already new applications for aid have been received since the present cold spell began, and the numerous organizations are bend ing every effort towards aiding the destitute. Many a man carries a lock of hair in his watch case which just matches a wad that hangs over a chair at night. N Count that day lost when there isn't a new "white hope" in the field.
