Lower December Temperature Than
Has Prevailed During Past

The cold wave which arrived on
Monday night on schedule time is
still making itself felt. The mercury
in the thermometer this morning at
an early hour was down to Ia de-
rrees While the river was not
frozen over, ice formed on the flats
and Hunting Creek was encased.
Last night was undoubtedly the
coolest of the season, and the streets
were comparatively deserted at an
early hour, all whose business did
not require them to face the keen
wintry air remaining indoors
Should present conditions continue
a few days, the Potomac would soon
be closed to navigation except to
steamboats, and the more powerful
tugboats.
Reports from all sections tell of
cold weather. in some places in
Pennsylvania the mercury having
fallen to 16 degrees below zero.
The cold wave has, as it always
does, brought trouble to many who
have been unable to prepare for the
frigid conditions. Many persons are
in distress through nc fault of their
own, and those engaged in aiding
the needy have their hands full.
