FIRST SUMMER
DAY PHEASANT
Natures Prank Sends Cool
Winds Over City.

Nature did trick stuff today to
give Indianapolis sunshiny and not
too hot weather for the first day
Of summer.
If it were not for the cool breezes,
seemingly from the south, the tenn
peratures would be above the point
that most people consider comfort
able according to j. II. Arlington,
United States Weather Bureau head
But the cool winds are not from
the south, according to Arlington.
BY not uncommon freak of ma
ture, the winds really are from the
northwest and have circled south
over Kentucky and neighboring
southern States to approach Indian
apolis from that direction.
A high pressure area west of the
middle Mississippi district, causing
winds to rotate about it, is respon-
Sible.
The storm which caused the rains
here Tuesday passed to the north
east sooner than expected. to help
make today's weather ideal for ord
mary folks and fairly good for the
farmers, Arlington said.
Temperatures today are about
normal and the fair weather will
continue tomorrow, he said.
