Show I CITYS EXPERIENCE WITH HEAT Exceptional I Temperature Causes Much Comment on the Weather Vhih Comment is Spieed Highly J Yesterday was another swelter box and handkerchiefs fans and cooling drinks were kept on the move Many people also moved to the lake and hundreds cooled off In the brine during curlns the afternoon and evening The mercury only scored 32 degrees The highest was at Ip m the tem icraturc falling to 56 by 215 p m But he skies were cloudy all day and the prevention of radiation made the weather decidedly oppressive There were five places yesterdays weather map whro the temperature of the previous pre-vious day rose to 100 or over They were Abilene Tex 100 El Paso 102 Havre and Miles City Mont 102 Phoenix Phoe-nix and Yuma lOG The humidity was greater yesterday than on Friday helm he-lm 39 at C a m and 22 at 230 in the afternoon The past week has been something of 2 novelty in Salt Lake Warm days have been here before but It has nearly always hon the rule that the atmosphere atmos-phere would cool off a little during the night Last week was an exception and the people wont care iC It never comes back The oppressive heat started start-ed on Tuesday and reached the climax Thursday with 100 degrees fiat In the shade I shaded off a Httlo after Thursday but there Is still lots of room for cool air The hot weather has had Its dffcct not only business but on morals There will be a certain amount of cussln all the time but there is nothing that brings out all the meanness of alike manlike man-like hot weather Profanity has been abroad In this favored land the past WI ok in quantities large enough to suit the most exacting connoisseur The blanked fool who Inquires If It Is hot enough and who It was hoped had been killed during the war bobbed up with his fatuous smile and fired his fame old question This explains part of the profanity There has been a great raid on the beer cellars Men who never drank before be-fore tool up with the habit during the week The sodawater fountains have been working double shifts arid every body would like to be the iceman The lake has drawn heavily and the other resorts have profited by the hot spell Those who could do so have flown like a bird to the mountains and have conscientiously con-scientiously tried to keep above none no-ne Tho vendors of thin clothing have reaped a bounteous harvest and the man who has the electric fans to sell has been declared heavily In on the proposition Dogs have been trimmed to meet the exigencies of the situation and men have almost wished they were canines so that they could weal a similar simi-lar coslumo without Impropriety Occasionally during the torrid day a fresh cool breeze which had been on tap In one of the canyons for sometime some-time would float down across the heated heat-ed town and striking some perspiring citizen would smear gladness all over him for a minute and he would feel almost good enough to hunt up somebody some-body ho owed and pay him his money The fit would usually leave him after a brief time Once or twice during the week it looked as If It would rain but always slipped up The hot weather has its compensations compensa-tions Nobody enjoys liberty HO much as he who has been long a prisoner nobody can see all the beauties of virtuous vir-tuous living like the one who has been deepest steeped In vice nobody can appreciate wealth like the pauper I w did not have this hot weather we would not be able properly to be thankful thank-ful for he beat except that imbecile who asks if It Is warm enough for you |
