! JUNE DAY FOR Al YEARS

tnen TO make life more unOearable for
suffering, sweltering populace, it
ranbled up another degree. At Z p.
m, the temperature had dropped back
to 80.
No prostrations were reported by
physicians although some were looked
for because of the intense heat.
Popuiace Wears Little.
Keokuk didn't wear any more than
1t had to and it is safe to say that a
large proportion of the city's inhabit-
ants went negligee or as nearly so as
was discrete.
Scores Of bathers flung themselves
into the Mississippi at the beaches
during the morning, afternoon and
evening to cool off.
Long lines Of automobiles hummed
and buzzed countryward to shady
spots and high bluffs. Picnic parties
were numerous, the principle reason
for their inception being mad de
sire to get away from hot pavements
and bake-oven homes.
