The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-08-04
BY RUTH FINNEY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-"Eight-
cen hundred and froze to- death"
the folks of 1916 called that year.
So far 1927 has had no similar
name bestowed upon it, though Her.
bert Janvrin Browne predicted that
weather this year would parallel
that Of the famous "year without a
summer" and thus achieved the
feat of making century old weather
live topic.
Very few weather records we're
kept in those days, and all Of them
are from New England where every
year is supposed to consist of nine
months of winter and three months
of late fall.
The best record of 1916 was kept
at Williamstown, Mass. Professor
w. I. Milham of Williams College
discusses this in an article in the
Monthly Weather Review of the
United States Weather Bureau.
Only Seventh Coolest
He finds that 1916, in spite of its
bad name, was only seventh coolest
of the twenty-three years during
which observations were made at
Williamstown.
Normal yearly temperatures for
the twenty three years was 45.6 de-
grees Fahrenheit. The average was
only 1.3 degrees lower in 1916. The
two coolest years, 1886 and 1887,
had an average three degrees below
normal though they are seldom
mentioned.
February, October, November and
December were too warm" says Pro-
lessor Milham, while the remain
ing months were too cold. May was
the second coolest for twenty three
years and averaged SO degrees be-
low normal. June was the second
coolest for twenty three years and
averaged So degrees below normal.
July was the coolest for twenty
three years and averaged 5.4 degrees
below normal.
Famous for Irregularity
"The reason why 1916 was con-
sidered so abnormal begins to be
apparent. 1t is because the three
summer months. June, July and
August, and the two adjacent
months, May and September, were
all far below normal. If the cold
months had not been consecutive,
or if the cold spell had come dur
ing the winter, spring or autumn
instead of midsummer, the year
1916 would never have been famous.
1.-THE famous cold spell during
June and in fact the most remark
able of the summer came from the
fifth to the eleventh. On June D
at noon the temperature was 80 de-
grees. Thunder showers came quick
" and the wind shifted into the
northwest with vigor. On the sixth
at 7 a. m. the temperature was Asa
degrees and that was warmest for
the day.
"Jerome's comment on the same
day at Plymouth, Conn, said: 1T
showed about an hour that day.
There seem to have been snow
squalls over a large part Of New
England. At 7 a. m. on the seventh
the temperature was down to 35
degrees. The elimination evidently
came in the early hours of the elev-
enth. The marginal comment says,
Heavy frost-vegetables killed-at
five o'clock the temperature was 5O.5
degrees
Only June Cold Spell
"This was the only cold spell dur
ing June, the rest of the tempera-
lures being quite moderate. On the
Oath the temperature was up to
"a which is very high for Williams
town.
I'm July the same thing took
place on a more moderate scale
This time it lasted four days ano
the lowest temperature was 43 de-
grees. There was no snow. The

REPRESENTATIVES, OF COMMUN

NO. 7 ADOPT RESOLUTIONS
REGARDING PAVING,

"The automobile and the truck
have long been recognized as import

ton believes that highways should be
constructed in manner that will
greatly lessen the cost of their op-
eration.'
This statement was made in resol-
utions adopted at meeting of about
200 people representing communities
on trunk highway No. 7, held in Tracy

was primarily intended to urge the
paving of No. Z, the resolutions con-
tain statements which hold true any

paragraph quoted above, the resolu-
