Relief From Humidity.

However. somebody slipped one over
on the weather bureau-"scooped'' the bu-
reau at its own game, as 1t were-as the
temperature in and about Washington
took decided tumble yesterday.
The GOODNESS was accompanied by mod
crate northwest breezes that made Wash
ington as delightful spot as one could
find anywhere on the continent.
The cool breezes prevailed last night
and today, affording relief from the hui
nudity that made the warm weather Of
the latter part of last week unpleasant
Thermometers this morning showed a
tendency to mark higher temperatures,
but the breeze banished discomfort, and
the forecast of more cool weather for
the latter part of the week made it pos
sible to keep up the boast of Washington
as a summer resort
