Mercury High Here
Berlin painted under merciless
barrage of shimmering heat waves
Yesterday; the sun beat down with
terrific force from the first warm
signs of daybreak until it sank be-
hind the hills. Even then relief
from the swelter was slow In com

hung resignedly under the heat, no
breezes stirred them into activity
Dirt roads sent up puffs of dust al
every step on their burning surfices'
Farmyard animals dropped under
the inferno.
There was activity on the high
way-streams of cars rolled through
the town from early morning on.
Berlinites, vainly trying to capture
elusive Morpheus, heard the purr OF
tires and the thunder Of motors far
