A sensational drop of the mercury
from the third-story to the basement
is scheduled to occur today when the

The following cheerful news is en-
bodied in a bulletin issued by the chief
of the United States weather bureau at
Washington:
Gold wave: Temperature will fail
twenty-five degrees or more during
Wednesday and much colder Wednes-
day night"
In sharp contrast to the unpleasant,
muggy weather of the past few days
the air will be crisp, snappy and ex-
tremely cold when Newark awakes to-
morrow morning. Those who came
down to work this morning minus over
coats will shiver on their return home,
if the weather man proves to be a true
prophet.
Today dawned like a spring morning
with an extraordinarily high tempera-
ture and the atmosphere light with
moisture. Yesterday the air was OPP
pressive and at times almost sitting.
Last night the temperature rose to
what physicians declared to be a peril
Gus degree. In view of the murky
weather, damp nights and miaslnic
mists, physicians say hat they have
many cases of pneumonia among chill
dren, some of whom are i'll with the
most malignant type of the dreaded
malady.
The mercury has fallen twenty 80
forty degrees in Minnesota, Iowa, Ms

and the Dakotas, while Canada has a
record of 80 degrees below zero.

Downing Italian attire. four members
of The Travellers company of bur-
iesquers playing this week at Miners
Empire Theatre, went through the main
business streets of the city with a
hand-organ and tambourines soliciting
donations for THE STARS earthquake
relief fund, for the benefit of the sur
vivors of the Calabrian disaster.
Many nickels, dimes and quarters
were given to the fair solicitors and
their two male companions. The party
consisted OF Miss Lillian Coleman, Miss
Rowena West, David Rose and Charles
BurShardt. While the men ground out
familiar airs from the hand-organ the
two chorus girls circulated through the
crowds which congregated with their
talpbourlnes.
At no place did the party fail to
draw a large crowd, and the generosity
of Newarkers was manifested by a
harvest of small coins.
This is the first time for many years
that members Of a theatrical troupe
has descended from the stage to the
streets TO work for a relief fund.

Money and checks have been pouring

VICTIMS
I,
TO Be AIDED BY
School CHILDREE

Principals in all of the public schools
commenced the work of raising funds
for the sufferers of the earthquake in
Italy, and responses began to pour in
from the children Immediately. Per-
mission 10 take up collections was
granted by the School Board last night
after Superintendent Poland had asked
that permission be given the school
children TO contribute their pennies to
help thoso in distress. He said it was
one of the grandest lessons in practical
charity that the children could be
taught. one that they would never
forget. AT first the members of the
board were not inclined to favor the
idea, but when it was recalled that
the same thing was done at the time
of the earthquake in San Francisco a
resolution was Immediately adopted
granting The desired permission. While
the individual donations will be small,
yet. collectively, they will amount to
a large sum.
