Autumn displaced summer at 1926 o'clock
this afternoon. This year the unusually
oppressive temperature served to con-
ceal the subtle change from summer to
fall. but for those who sought there was
plenty of evidence that the new season
was at hand.
In the woods the chestnut burrs are
splitting and the walnuts are almost
ready to drop: apples are lusciously ripe.
The autumn shower of leaves has set In.
and all trees but the evergreens are con-
tributing to the vari-colored carpetinR.
Flapjacks and maple syrup are coming
Into their own In the restaurants, and
before long turkey will bG on the regular
bill Of fare. even In the smaller cafes. for
those who have the price. Soon the man
with the charcoal roaster will take up his
position In the city streets with his box
OF chestnuts and his tiny glass.
The smoky haze that ordinarily ac-
companies the advent of autumn so far
has been missing. but tomorrow or the
next day 1t may make IFS appearances.
The local weather fore ,aFter, marvelTg q
at the present hot spell, Expects drop
OF 10 degrees in the temperature tonight.
The tang as OF burning leaves peculiar
to autumn will come along later.
Summer. however. went out In blaze
OF glory. The mercury climbed to 30
degrees this afternoon. and tonight the
influence OF the thunder showers ir the
Ohio Valley Is expected to bring about
drop In temperature. At o'clock this
morning the Thermometer registered 6S
degrees.
Yesterday was the second warmest Sep
tember 22 on record here. At o'clock
yesterday afternoon the mercury climbed

on that date was In 1896 and the nEure
reached was 81 degrees. The dry spell
now being experienced also Is the second
longest in the records. In 1910, from
September 16 to October IS. only SO OF
an inch OF rain fell, This year. from
