All Demands Supplied Chicago's milk supply yesterday was 4mu,000 quarts under normal, yet the distributors said they had been able to supply all demands. A shoitage as great, or greater, was predicted for today. Dr. Kegel asked Mayor Thomp son for a $15.0u0 emergency appro priation to be used in employing chemists. Additional chemists are needed, the commissioners said, to keep a 2-1-hour staff available for the testing of milk and for the protection of the city's health. Almost the entire supply of one arge dealer was found polluted by kerosene. The pollution was blamed by distributors upon the strikers who are demanding $25 a hundredweight Instead of the $2.50 distributors are paying.

The minimum temperature of 19 degrees at 8:30 Sunday morning, was the coldcBt to be recorded at the local weather bureau station for two years, or since January 21, 1127, when the mercury dropped to 18 degrees, according to K. H. Fletcher, the local meteorologist. The temperature last night was slightly higher, he reports, with a minimum of 25 degrees. The weather was below freezing all day Sunday, with 30 degrees the highest recorded. . It Is not believed that the cold weather has damaged broccoli to any great extent up to the present time. The plants have been fairly well protected by a light fall of snow, and unless freezing weather continues over a fairly long period of time it is not believed that any serious damage will result.
