Two big cold fronts fought a
gigantic battle along the Red Riv-
er last Wednesday. The result sav-
ed a vast area of Texas from bit-
ter temperatures.
A. J. Knarr, chief of the U 8.
Weather Bureau gave us the In-
side dope on the conflict between
the two great air masses "I like
to think of cold fronts as armies on
the march," said he. “It was a
real battle.”
Read all about it:
One of the cold waves—the cold-
er of the two—came straight from
the Arctic. The other, probably
from Siberia, came to the U. s
by a long slow route. It crossed i
the Pacific and was warmed some-
what by the Pacific’s waters.
