UNDATED, Dec., 19. (/Pi-Old
King Cold is broadcast over the
nationwide network. If many re
ceiving sets whistled it was wind;
the wind raced at express train
speed across the prairies and lash
ed lakes into a fury.
Dixie felt the cold especially for
it came on the heels of unusually
warm weather. Kentucky, Tenne
5ee and Georgia watched the mer
cury drop to the 20’s. Only in the
Atlantic coastal states of Virginia
and the Carolinas was the tem
perature seasonal, ranging in the
50’s,
At Kansas City the mercury
dropped two degrees below zero. In
Ontario, Eastern States and New
England a crust of ice levelled
many miles of communication lines
and scrambled transportation. New
Vork and Boston are escaping the
wintriness but wallowed in fog.
Temperatures are moderate on
ihe Pacific coast.
