Scientists and friends, guests of Spade Trumps In New Game And Peculiarly Enough, if You Have One You Lose It-New Kind of Highwayman Born of Snow and Mud. "Pass the shovel," was the new game that was played recently on the M-17 detour near Parma. The shovel was passed and a local man was the loser. The Battle Creek resident was driving to Jackson and when he reached Parma heard that an interurban car was off the track, tying traffic up to such an extent that cars were unable to drive through. He had been foresighted, and before leaving Battle Creek had placed a shovel in the rear of his car.

When he reached Parma he took the detour road to avoid the traffic congestion. About a mile from the village he came to a particularly bad spot. Three cars were stuck ahead of him, but he drove as far as he could, and passed the shovel up to the first car. About five minutes later the first car drove on, the owner returned and helped shovel the second car outand so on and so on, until it was the local man's turn. Those whom he had assisted helped to shovel his car out.

Then he turned around to look behind. Over a dozen cars had driven into the muddy road-and every one was stuck. "Please pass the shovel." He did, but it never came back. The last that was seen of it was when the owner of a car about 10th in line was throwing mud with utter abandon. The local man would have walked back after the implement, but feared that he would have had to be dug out before he ever reached the spot where excavations were going on.

So he drove on -hoping that if he became stuck again that somebody else would "Please pass the shovel." SPANISH FLIERS TAKE OFF TODAY Madrid-Philippine Island Flight Under Way; Algiers Is First Stop.

COLD WEATHER AGAIN FORECAST TONIGHT, TUESDAY As Warmth Returns to South And Rain Visits West, Third Wintry Blast Is Due. PORT ARTHUR NEAR ZERO Snowfall on April 5 Makes More History Total of Eight Inches Since Friday. The hope that springs eternal from the Battle Creek human breast every time the sun shines seems due upon each occasion to be dashed upon the rocks of a cruel weather forecast. Today, the fifth of April, which burst forth with a post-Easter snowstorm, did not wholly disappoint seekers of spring. The sun came out about 8:30 o'clock, the temperature rose and the new fallen snow was soon being reduced to slush.

Storm from North Following a hard snowfall of Saturday evening and Sunday morning the sun came out at dawn and, while slushy underfoot and somewhat cold, the weather was ideally bright for Easter. Much of the snow disappeared under the sun's benign influence. The cold weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow is evidently the tail end of a storm brewed in the north.

The temperature chart shows a minimum of eight degrees above zero at Port Arthur with 20 above at Alpena, this state. The south and west are back to normalcy in weather, however. There was a. 64 maximum at Denver, 72 at Tampa and 66 at Galveston while Washington, where the annual "Easter rade" is given, found 54 degrees of warmth sufficient to display fitting Easter clothes.
