Lower Temperatures Bring Relief
and q Good Nights Rest
For a Change.

Relief from the excessive heat,
which Weather Observer Conger
promised for Tuesday night and We'd
nesday, arrived on schedule, and De-
troiters, In consequence, are enjoying
the FIRST really comfortable day In
some time. Those who went to bed
last night without any covering ex-
cept their night clothes, as has been
their wont the past two or three
weeks, woke up with their teeth chat
tering along toward morning, and
were glad to pull up the quilts. 1t
was great, though. that cool breeze
that poured In at the windows and
made one feel as though life were
worth living after all.
Fair with moderate temperatures"
Is the forecast for Wednesday. The
mercury, at z o'clock, registered Sc
degrees. II probably will not mount
above IS or SO during the day.
Although the maximum for Tues
day was 81 and the humidity was
high. only one prostration and no
deaths were reported, as a result OF
the heat. The one victim was James
Harrington, aged 65, no home, who
was overcome at Brush and Macomb-
SITS. and was taken to St Mary's hos
pital in an auto patrol. He Will re-
cover.

have received notice from several OF
the brick manufacturers that II there
was any doubt as to their receiving
any more orders from the city OF De-
troit there were plenty OF other
places they could ship them to. IL
the supply is shut on and my work
Is tied up. some OF the streets may

The resolution failed OF passage by

In the tests made with the new rat
tier, Tuesday. only one brand OF brick.

which the city Of Columbus ixes as

showed an abrasion OF 37.92 and
Champion. 36.71 per cent. according to
the city engineers figures. Commits
sioner Haarer claims. however. that
these tests were not fair because the
engine stopped. he says, and one
brick was cracked before II was put
into the rattler.
The commissioner has engaged an
expert engineer TO look over the en-
CINE, which operates with kerosene,
and fnd out just what IL the matter
with Il. This man will probably be
asked to take charge OF the RATHER
