It's a bit of premature spring
that we are having" Prof. Edward
Bowie, fOrecaster at the Weather Bu-
reau, said last night. land the indica-
tons are that We will continue to have
the same warm, mild weather for at
least a week"
Prof. Bowie declared that this has
been the warmest January the city
of Washington had had in recent
years, the mercury creeping up to So
degrees at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon.
The professor explained that the
warm breezes are due TO the fact
that at present the low pressures are
over the northern part of the country
and the high pressures over the
South. As the winds move from high
to low, Washington is getting the
warm winds that accompany them
from the South.

parade had reached the city a few

everywhere in evidence, worn by

that there amt going to be no
