days ago, but owing to a storm west of the lakes, which is now breaking, has been retarded to a great extent. A perfect blizzard of snow was fall-ing on Lake Michigan last night.

ACROSS THE LINE.

Washington, D.C., Jan. 21. - A warm wave which scores the highest record in temperature for this time of the year since 1890 pevailed thruout the region between the Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic coast. Its crest was in Ohio, where the temperature this afternoon ranged from 70 to 74 degrees. South of the Ohio River it was less warm be-cause of heavy rains and showers. Thunder storms also prevailed in Ten-nessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Northwest Georgia.

A cold wave which developed in the west is rapidly following the warm wave, and the forecasts say it will reach the Atlantic coast Monday night, but its force will be diminished as it progresses east.

Weather officals announce that the fall of the temperatures will approiximate 40 degrees in the region just west of the Mississippi River and north of the Missouri, while it will go lower in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska and the middle Rocky Mountain region. In the Ohio valley the temperature to - day about equaled all previous records and in a few places exceeded them. In Washington to-day the weather was spring-like, with a maximum tempera-ture of 63 degrees, which, however, is much lower than the January record.

In Parkersburg, W.Va., the tempera-ture, 74 degrees, was the highest ever recorded at this season by the weather bureau.
