CASH ACCOUNT. SEPTEMBER 



EASJ WIND DOES THE TRICK 



Sends the Temperature Down from Maxi- 

 mum of 92 Yesterday to 60 This Morn- 

 ing—Another Hot Wave in West 



TODAY'S HOURLY TEMPERATURES 



02 



Once in a while the east wind takes a 

 hand in local affairs just when its services 

 are most needed and today is one of the 

 occasions. It brought in from the ocean 

 a wave of cool air that hit the hot wave 

 right between the eyes and put it down 

 for the count. So effectively was its work 

 done that from a maximum of 02 yesterday, 

 the mercury slid down to a minimum of 

 00 this morning at five o'clock, or a drop 

 of thirty-two degrees in fourteen hours. 

 The difference was so great that this morn- 

 ing felt really chilly. 



Whether the relief is more than tem- 

 porary is doubtful. The forecast call3 for 

 local showers tonight and' Sunday, but 

 after that there is every prospect of a re- 

 turn to higher temperature readings, for 

 in Chicago at seven o'clock this morning 

 (Eastern standard time) the temperature 

 was 76, That was fully as hot as at any 

 time during the hot spell of this week, 

 which struck the Middle West before it ar- 

 rived here.
