during the last few days of below
zero weather. OF course, in many
cases the householder does the work
of thawing successfully and without
dire results, but the fire marshal said
this morning that the saving of two
or three dollars on a plumbers bill
is not worth the risk of fire, especial
ly in view of the inefficiency of the
Topeka water department.
If your pipes are still frozen you
had better get a plumber as soon as
possible. for Meteorologist Flora says
temperatures today would not reach
above 16 degrees, and tomorrow after
noon not more than 25 degrees.
Neither of these temperatures will be
warm enough by a number of degrees
to thaw ice. A cold four-mile wind
was blowing from the north this
morning, and was expected to stay for
the week is for fair weather
with probably rising temperatures
during the first part and another cold
wave about Thursday or Friday. The
highest temperature ever recorded in
Topeka on this date was SIS, in 1900,
and the lowest was IL below. in 1888.
Neither of these records is in imme-
date danger of being broken.
The report from Oklahoma City
this morning said that the tempera-
ture there was 20 degrees; a light
snow fell there either this morning or
last night and a cold wind was blow
ing from the north.
The official forecast says: Partly
cloudy tonight and Tuesday; probably
becoming unsettled; colder south and
east portions tonight; not so cold in
west portion Tuesday
Thirty-six hour shipments north
and west will need protection against
temperature of o; east and south
against 10 above.
