COLD WEATHER
GOES SLOWLY

1t may not be quite cold enough
to freeze a brass monkey, but the
weather's still sufficient to give
him bad chill.
The cold wave, as the papers have
stated for the past two days, is
dying, slowly dying. It is fighting
with it's last wintry breath, but the
Icicle Trust is due for rapid dis
solution today.
While the mercury may not go
high enough today to cause any
heat prostrations, Washington will
be more comfortable than it has
been for several days. And when
tomorrow's sun rises over the
wooded slopes of Randle Highlands
or vicinity, the expiring year may.
pass out without a SILVER.
Cloudy and warmer" is the
official forecast for today and to-
morrow. The forecaster stated to.
day that there will be no more
cold weather for the remainder of
the week-in fact, for the rest OF
the year. Gentle variable winds
will prevail.
The Weather Bureau sent out
word that no extraordinary mild
weather is expected, but the tenn
perature will keep above freezing
at it's highest, and the low point
on the mercury will not be nearly
so low as 1t has been.
There is no indication Of snow
in the immediate future.
Due to the large number Of auto
mobiles disabled by the cold the
rush-hour business Of street cars
and motor buses has been in
creased to wartime congestion.
Garage and repair shops are
working night and day and taxicab
companies have no complaints
about volume of business.
Ice skating will continue today
on the Lincoln Memorial pool and
on Rock Creek. but continuance of
the sport through tomorrow is du-
bious.
All over the country the grip of
intense cold has been broken and
snow Is falling in many localities.
