A report from the United States
Weather Bureau late last night pre-
dicted continuation of the dry, warm
weather through today and tomorrow
If the forecast proves true, the pres
ent drouth will come within three days
at most of Icing the longest within
the records of the Bureau. The long
est rainless period on record was in
1874, when from October II to Nov
ember s no precipitation whatever
fell. Winds will be gentle to moder-
ate, mostly from the southwest and
west, the Weather Bureau said.
Weather Bureau officials are of the
opinion that the dry weather cannot
continue much longer While many
severe drouths in September and Oc-
tober in other years have been re-
corded, none of them has run for a
longer period than four weeks.
