WEST BELOW ZERO;
 CHICAGO NEAR IT

Chicago, Jan. - The coldest weather of the winter thus far spread over the western part of the country yesterday, bringing unusual cold to parts of California and the Southwest. There was not much snow, but traffic was delayed in many places.
 Temperatures ranged from a few degrees above zero in the region of Chicago to several degrees below zero between the Mississippi and the Sierras, west of which as low as 1t degrees above zero was reported from Paso Robles, Cal.
 A covering of snow that fell before the severe cold came blanketed win. ter wheat in most places. The un- seasorable winter in California is said to have damaged citrus fruits with killing frosts predicted for to, day.
 Unusual cold visited Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, even Mexico suffering frost in places usually semi. tropical in climate. The tempera. lures further north were about sea. sonable with prospects oE moderating somewhat.
