N|NE-DAY RECORD
SET BY WEATHER
Temperature of More Than
80 Degrees Registered
ConsecutiveIy.

With the official thermometer regis
tering SO degrees at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, Washington chalked up its
ninth consecutive day with a maximum
temperature of 90 degrees or more, and
a record of eight years standing was
equaled, while indications were that by
tomorrow that record viii be passed. It
was the first time since June, 1921, that
the Capital has experienced a 90-or-
more degree temperature for nine days
running.
That's not all. either because al
though thundershower might reach
'flere some time this afternoon or early
this evening, it viii not be a heat-wave
breaker in any sense of the word The
weather man insists that any rainfall
today will be ''only very brief respite"
and tomorrow the temperature will be
right back where 1t has been the last
eight days.
And that's not all. The forecasters
see no prospects anywhere for a real
break in the present siege. Their re-
ports coming in from all quarters over
the horizon fail to bring even ray of
hope that the Capital may ever again
hope to pull up its sheets for good
nights sleep. The heat, 1t seems at the
observatory, is here to stay for awhile
still.
Comparing the current heat wave
with anything like it last year, the
Weather Bureau announced today that
the longest "spell' recorded last year
ran from August l to August s, when
on each of those six days, the mercury
climbed to 80 degrees or more.
