Today

Inc neat wave, nOCter IMAM ever,
settled down on Indianapolis and
the State today for its last stand.
For, according to Weather Bureau
predictions, the torrid winds from
the southeast which brought the
hot spell will be routed late tonight
by cooling breezes from the north
west.
But indications were that today
would be the hottest of the three
day warm spell. The a. m. tenn
perature. SO, was 2 degrees higher
than Thursdays 9 a. m. mark.
At 5 a. m, the lowest point of the
morning, the mercury recorded 70
degrees, 4 degrees higher than the
same. hour Wednesday night. also
that nights lowest mark.
Three Lives Taken
The heat took a toll of three lives
and caused numerous prostrations
over the State Thursday. Four per-
sons were overcome here.
A new high temperature mark for
the season, 94.3 degrees, was reached
here at $40 p. m, Thursday.
Previous high mark was a.
reached Wednesday.
Temperatures last night also were
several degrees higher than Wednes-
day night.
The temperatures continued high
er until noon, when a very light
rain, hardly noticeable on the
streets, brought the mercury down
to SO, one degree. lower than Thurs
day.
But at .. m. 1t had risen again
to 80, the same as Thursday at that
hour. -
Predicts Thunderstorms
According to j. H. Arlington,
weather bureau head, local thun-
derstorms probably will accompany
the cooler spell, but will not be its
cause.
The hot wave was caused by a
high pressure area in the Northwest
drawing the warm southeast winds
from a low pressure area in the
Southeast. Now the areas have
equalized.
It already is cooler in the plain
States, Nebraska and the Dakotas,
and late tonight the northern and
central part Of Indiana, including
Indianapolis, will feel the cooling
effects of the breezes from the
northwest.
The southern part of Indiana
will not get, its relief until Satur-
day.
A light rain fell in some parts
of the eastern section of the city
last night, according to Arlington,
but had little cooling effect.
Three Die of Heat
Deaths in Indiana were:
Walter McAtee, 26, Greencastle,
overcome while playing baseball.
Joseph Kalonowski, IS, Hammond,
steel mill employe.
Harry Dargin, Is, Valparaiso,
highway construction worker.
Those who survived heat prostra-
ton included Jerry Enyeart, strick-

ball game with McAtee; L. M. An
derson, "a, Pennsylvania railroad
shop employee, Logsnsport; J. T.
