MERCURY STARTS
70 MAKE RECORD,
But FALLS SHORT
Temperature Remains Below
Zero All Friday, Growing
Colder as Night Comes On;
No Relief in Sight.

Yesterday morning everybody, and
probably the weather man included,
looked for record cold day. II
started in well, but fell short. How
ever, it was cold and the nipping wind,
blowing in from the northwest and
accompanied by snow furries, made
the weather more disagreeable.
Ala O'clock in the morning the of
fetal reading OF the thermometer was
s degrees below zero and at 5 o'clock
1t had gone up one degree, 1t con-
tinucd there until 10, when it raised
another degree. AT Q o'clock in the
afternoon, the warmest hour OF the
day, degrees below zero was
reached. From then on the. tempera-
ture dropped gradually. reaching \ 8
below at Is o'clock last night.
when you consider that the normal
temperature for December 28 is 23
degrees above zero and that the mean
or average yesterday was 6 below.
there is no question about It having
been cold. Still, it was just the thing
needed for the ice harvest, but for
other purposes It was not desirable. y
Continued cold is predicted.
Zero Cold in West.
Zero temperatures extended through
Kansas and Missouri. The great lake
regions have the coldest weather of
the winter, a temperature ranging
from II to SO below. The coldest re-
ported on. the continent was 48 below
at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Can
ada.
The barometer at Morehead, Mimi,
recorded 31.06 inches Friday morning.
Colonel Welsh says it is only once in
several winters that such a high ba-
rometer occurs.
A freak of the present cold is the
