through the coolest" night in the
past six weeks. and fewer palm
beach suits were being worn today.
The thermometer at midnight reg
istered 81 degrees, the lowest mark
reached since June is. when 60 de-

the temperature had risen only three
degrees and at noon 1t was 65 de-
grees.
In addition to the subnormal tenn
perature Old Sol went on a strike;
the sky was again covered by a thick
blanket of clouds and a drizzily rain,
swept by an easterly wind, helped to
give chillier, drearier aspect to the
day. The general appearance and feel
was enough to move the average
Wilmingtonian to don wooden, pull
on rubbers" and grab raincoats and
umbrellas before venturing forth.

WIRELESS TO AID
NATIONS FARMERS
Rv Newspaper Enterprise.

BY Newspaper enterprise.
WASHINGTON-For some time
the post Office department has been
sending out bulletins by wireless
telegraph. giving summaries OF
weather and crop conditions.
The bulletins were relayed to air
plane mail radio stations in all parts
OF the country. There they were
picked up by county agents and
farm bureau officials and sent out
to farmers by mail.
This service is said to have helped
farmers a great deal. but It wasn't
entirely satisfactory, because it took
the bulletins a long time to get from
the relay points to the farmer.
Now the post office department
proposes to overcome this difficulty
/ by sending out the bulletins by wire
less telephone. instead OF wireless
telegraph.
That means that any farmer who
wants to install a wireless phone
apparatus can get the hot bulletins
in his own home.
