First Frost of Season
On Wednesday Night

The first frost of the season and the
lowest temperature since March 1s was
what Atlanta received Wednesday night
The frost was light one. but the tenn
perature took a fearful drop. Thirty
eight degrees is the figure which the
official Thermometer showed on top OF
the Empire building. l
Conditions in Atlanta started getting
cooler about the first part of the after
noon. BY nlghtfan the streets were
stripped OF their usual loafers and curb
clubmen, and the few pedestrians who
passed were bundled to the ears IN over
coats. Clothing stores did a rushing bust
ness all day, and were at it again in the
morning, while pawnbrolxers were kept
busy handing out those garments which
were soaked" last spring. Some of the
new coats appeared rather wrinkled,
and it was no strange thing to find a
man surreptitiously removing a moth
ball from his pocket at odd moments.
Mr.. Won Hermann says THAI cold
weather has come to stay. For the next
few days it will be cloudy. he predicts
and a little warmer, but never again
Will Atlanta get that summary feeling
until the spring of the year. The mer-
curry may go down to 30 degrees again
Thursday night, but he hardly expects
any frost. Even the light frost of Wet
nesday was felt only in the low places.
Mr.. Won Hermann declares that 1t viii
be cold enough for fires nearly all the
time from now on, which means that the
temperatures will be found in the thir-
ties and forties for a good six months
to come.
