GALE FROM NORTHWEST
BRINGS REAL WINTER
Mercury Drops Fifteen to
Twenty Degrees in Less
Than as Many Minutes.

With whooping wind that approached
the velocity of a hurricane, winter
actual, freezingly cold winter-swirled
out of the northwest last night and
wrapped Washington, the District of Co.
lumbia and adjacent territory in the
chiliiest temperatures experienced here
abouts SO far during the present season.
The change of temperature came so sud-
denly as to take away ones breath. One
minute the air was still, muggy and
rather warm. from the drizzle of rain
that had fallen at intervals all day yes
terday; the next minute u wild gale
was whistling down the streets and
around corners, and the mercury In eX-
posed thermometers fairly tumbled in its
efforts to retreat into the bottom of the
tubes.
The wind and the falling temperatures
came without a moments warning, and
in many places fairly reliable thermome-
ters showed a drop of fifteen to twenty
degrees in less than that many minutes.
