TO Be FAIR AND COOLER
Thermometers in Washinuton
Will Take Drop Tomorrow,
According to Forecaster.

Fair and colder is the weather mans
prediction for tomorrow in and around
Washington. Perhaps it would be bet
ter to say cooler instead of colder. be-
cause the forecaster is not willing to
say that it will be cold enough to freeze
or even that the temperature will be
frosty. But it will be cooler, anyhow.
The coolness will follow a cloudy night,
with possibly showers or squalls. al
though no definite threat of rain is
made by the forecaster.
Overcoats were wholly superfluous in
and about Washington yesterday, the
thermometer hanging up a mark that
would have been more in keeping with
June or July than mid-January. The
official high mark was 6S degrees.
which, it will be admitted, is some
warmth for the middle Of January. With
green grass growing all around, dande-
lions in bloom, orchardists icing the
roots of their budding fruit trees to
keep the trees from bursting into
premature bloom and overcoats left at
home. Washington's claim to be the
ideal winter resort is more firmly estab-
liShed than ever.
Not Highest Record.
Warm as it was yesterday, the day
did not establish a high record for
January. Two previous January days
have been warmer. January Il, 1890.
and January Z. 1907, both were warm
enough to send the mercury up to rs
degrees. the official record for the
month. AS a contrast, January l, 1881,
officially known as the cold New Year
day, set the weather bureaus low record
for the month, the mark being IA de-
grees below Zero

fans buzzing in some Office buildings here.
mosquitoes in New Jersey, a snowless
Vermont, bluebirds and robins in Vir-
gnia, apple trees budding in Maryland
outdoor base ball practice in Philadel.
phia and dandelion picking in many
places are reports today attesting to the
unusually mild winter in the east.
Popular beliefs that yesterday was one
of the warmest January days this city
ever experienced is borne out by search
of the weather records, showing that
yesterdays 50 degrees is the highest the
thermometer has registered for January
II since the weather bureau was estab-
lished forty-three years ago.
The Hudson river is being navigated
at later date than any time since 1870
when Robert Fulton was running his
steamer Car of Neptune between New
York and Albany as late as January 70.
1t is customary to close the river for
navigation December 10.
Even in Maine most of the lakes and
rivers are open. but the ice companies
are still expecting the two weeks of zero
weather which is necessary to assure a
good ice crop.
