Cold WaDe SWeeps ODer
 South and Will Continue Today

Although the official thermometer on the top of the Federal Building gave out the information that the weather was S6 degrees, the people had to pre- pare for 34 degrees as the difference of 100 feet in the air was yesterday worth two degrees of heat. It is ex- pected that about the same conditions will prevail again today. It will also be cloudy just the same as yesterday and the weather man says that a fire will be just as inviting as it was yes- terday.
 While the weather in Montgomery was nothing out of the ordinary the weather map. taking in the whole United States, was interesting indeed. The low barometric area that was over

this section of the country Saturday and Sunday moved I'D the east coast and yesterday morning had landed up towards Maine. If cut across from Northern Georgia and then went in a straight line to the section 1t was over yesterday morning. In the wake of this area was a storm that caused snow to fall from the northern part of Geor- gia clear up to Maine. Tn the records sent the local weather bureau only trace of snow was registered in the Southern States, but a general storm followed that low area all the way up.
 The prediction for this morning is that it will be just as cold as it was yesterday morning and that it will be cloudy most of the day.
