Warm Weather to Be Succeeded by
Cooler Conditions.

The soft and mellow weather which has
prevailing in Washington and vicinity
for several DAYS will be succeeded tomor-
row. Prof. Garriott says. by cooler cond-
tons and the mercury may go down to
the freezing point. but there will be no
cold wave features. When asked as to
the cause OF the springlike weather of
yesterday and today Forecaster Garriott
said it was due to the distribution OF
barometric pressure. There is low
barometric area in the north and high
in the south. AS the wind always blows
from high to a low. the prevailing
winds from the south. and are
naturally warm winds.

liar distribution of pressure. nor why it
continues so long he added. but as
long as it does continue warm weather
will he in evidence. The GOODNESS tomor-
row will be but break in the conditions
referred to-
