It Prevails over the Whole Country East
Of the Rocky Mountains, and the
Weather Officials Can't Account for It.
Weather bureau officials say there is no
immediate prospect of summer weather
anywhere. The present cold wave, they
add, has been running through most OF
the present month. Heavy frosts are re-
ported from Michigan and other states
OF the Lake region. The cold wave is
particularly severe in the Southwest and
is due, according to the weather experts,
10 the heavy rains in that part OF the
country. The forecaster Of the weather
bureau, said
The reason for the cold weather we
have had during the past two or three
months is that the high areas OF pres
sure have moved eastward from the
northern portion of the country almost
continuously, and these have caused the
cold north winds. That is the only rea-
son / can give for the cold weather areas,
What makes these high areas keep up all
inns season is more than / can tell
Not since 1902 has there been such an
abnormal spring in this part Of the coun-
n.y. The average is five degrees below
lhe normal temperature for this month.
IL is cold comfort to know that the
cold, unreasonable weather extends over
The whole country east of the Rocky
mountains, but this is the assurance
which is given in a Washington despatch
made up at the government weather bu-
Ieau and sent out to Wednesdays pa
pers, The cold wave, this despatch said
extended both north and south and Their

'fost warnings were issued for wide
section of country both east and west,
besides food warnings for the lower
