The rapid atmospheric movements
along the northern boundary during

porary check in the building of high

The effect of this has been to cause
cool north to northeast winds over
New England, the lower lake region
and a portion of the middle Atlantic
states; also to temporarily check the
from the west.
Practically no rain has fallen
throughout the country, except In the
extreme southwest.
The temperature continues relatively
high in the west and south, and ABOUT
normal in northeastern districts.
Fair weather tonight and tomorrow Is
indicated. except In the upper lake
region, where occasional rains or SHOWS
are probable. The temperature changes
will be unimportant.
The winds along the New England
coast will be moderate to fresh north

die Atlantic coast moderate northerly;
on the south Atlantic coast fresh north

The oklahoma pipe line, when COM

while the pipe lines all are vel

a time at least.
But, in the end, the oil situation of
Oklahoma never will be cleared up,
nor will the producers outside the

ter come into their own until the
Gushing field is practically drained OF
its enormous production, and the
