FAIR AND COOL
 IS WEATHER PREDICTED

Fair and cool is the prediction of the weather bureau for today. No ma terial alteration in conditions which have prevailed during the past several days will be experienced. To the curious it will be explained that the reason for the continuance of the pleasant weather fs in the fact that an almost normal barometric cindition of the atmosphere stretches over the greater portion of the United States.
 With the exception of scattered rains in the Gulf States, generally fair weather prevailed throughout the entire country yesterday. The tenn perature was very moderate the ther- mometer registering never more than Se. In the early morning hours, the heat could force the mercury to oc- cupy no higher position than 66.
