Clear Weather
For 9 Days
Polks In these parts who have laid
bets that this month will se. an all
time record for clear January days,
can lake back their money.
The weatherman chalked up nine
consecutive clear days, January 12
to 20, inclusive, but January 21 and
22 were labeled "part cloudy." The
record for consecutive clear days
goes to 1920 when 16 straight days,
without a cloud in the sky, was the
weatherman's report. The minimum
temperature that year in January
was 12 degrees above zero, same
minimum reading for this month.
In 1817, there were 10 days of clear
weati-er running day by day, but
the minimum reading was 13 de
grees below zero for the month of
January.
It was 16 above here this morning
at 7 o'clock.

further discomfort to many com

from the Rockies to New England.
No estimate was available as to
the number of workers made idle
