Cold Cuts Down
New Years Marchers
in Mummers Parade

Philadelphia, Jan. Intense cold
and a 80 mile an hour wind today
seriously interfered with the annual
Mummers parade. the New Years
spectacle peculiar to this city, reduc-
ing the crowds of spectators and
sending hundreds of the scantily clad
marchers scurrying to cover long be-
fore the end of the route was
reached. Several of the marchers
collapsed and were sent to hospitals
to be thawed out. Two of these.
dressed as bathing girls" wearing
one-piece suits, with arms. legs and
shoulders bare, managed to stand the
frigid blasts for nearly half mile.
Another attired as a cupid held out
for ten blocks before collapsing. The
official thermometer registered II
above zero.
The wind also played havoc with
the handsome capes and gowns worn
by the captains of the fancy dressed
clubs. A number of them were
ripped and torn while the marchcrs
were lifted from their feet as the big
cloaks filled like sails. One black
face marchcr. clad in hoop skirt six
feet in diameter, was blown back
ward with such force that two po-
licemen who rushed out and grabbed
him had to hang on like football
tacklers.
Hot coffee served at several points
along the three mile route gave the
marchers temporary relief.
Despite the weather handicap, tho
pageant was pronounced by judges
and spectators alike as one of the
most gorgeous ever held.
The city divided $4,000 in prizes
to winners in the various divisions.
