Cold Ware Now
in Our Midst to
StayAH the Week
A@wN@*A.@aaaaaaas =

Chicago, Feb. 1G.-The icy
blast over the middle west
which has set the regions from
the Rockies to the lakes shiver-
ing will stay for the rest Of
the week. according to Pro-
fessor Henry j. Cox of the
chicago weather bureau.
The cold wave will bear down
on the mercury and squeeze it
down to the zero mark, at least,
according to Professor Cox.
The cold wave Is bearing
down on the eastern slope of
the Rockies, and will reach Chi.
cago early this morning." said
Professor Cox yesterday. 81 ex-
pect that the climax will have
been reached by Friday, when
the mercury probably will be
down to zero. I don't look for a
long siege of cold weather, not
longer than two or three days,
as 1T Is unusual at this time OF
the year for cold spell to last
longer. The sun Is getting
pretty high in the heavens and
the tendency toward warmth is
becoming too strong for any
protracted cold spell"
