 The announcement made by President Brown that all soldiers and sailors in uniform will be admitted free to the fair grounds has been welcome announce ment to the soldiers and sailors who are in Birmingham.

HEAT WAVE OVER;
SUFFERING ENDED
Mercury Hovers at 85 Today;
Cooling Breezes Add to
Comfort of Residents

The big heat wave that has been
present in Harrisburg during the
week has entirely disappeared, tenn
peratures to-day moderating de-
cidely. Temperatures throughout the
morning and early afternoon ranged
around the 85-degree mark. A cool
ing breeze is adding materially to the
comfort of Harrisburgers.
No prospect of an additional heat
wave such as the one just passing or
wave nearly as hot, is held out by
weather bureau officials. A heat
wave is moving on Harrisburg from
the northwest, but it is not expected
to reach the temperatures recorded
this week. Reaching here on Sunday,
1t is expected to raise the mercury
to 92 or 93 degrees.
More Deaths
A few additional deaths were re-
ported yesterday. None of them.
however, came as direct results of
the hot weather.
Harry Rhoades, "a years old, a
Bethlehem Steel Company, died in
the Harrisburg Hospital. He had
severely burned on the previous day.
The excessive temperature weakened
his constitution and was unable to
make a strong fight for life.
Several additional prostrations
were reported during the day. Among
those were G. c. Mclaughlin, field
foreman at the government site at
New Cumberland, who was prostrat-
ed by the heat while walking down
Second street at o'clock last night.
He was treated by DIR. j. d. SwartZ
