FREEZE CERTAIN ACCORDING
. . TO THE LATEST PREDICTION
Temperature of 26 Degrees Promis-
' ed for This Morning by the
Weather Man.
Freezing weather was expected In
Houston Friday morning with a tempera-
ture of 26 degrees or six degrees below
the freezing point according to the latest
predictions from the local office of the
United Staes weather bureau Thursday
night. Although the cold wave has been
expected for several days a fall of only
sevep degrees was recorded between the
hours of 8 a. m. and 8 p. m. Thursday. At
the latter time the thermometer regis-
tered 6U degrees.
"Fair and colder" Is the forecast for
Friday. The explanation for the delay
In the cold's reaching here is that the
warm air from tbe gulf has come into
'cdntact with the cold wave from the
north and caused precipitation which has
acted as a shield from the colder air.
The coldest point in Texas at 8 p. m.
was Amarlllo 18 degrees; the warmest
at Brownsville 74 degrees at the same
time. The coldest point at 8 p. m. In the
United States was Helena Mont. where
the thermometer registered 22 degrees be
low zero.
The heaviest rainfall recorded for Texas
stations was 1.70 inches at Greenville the
greatest amount anywhere in the United
States.

For Chapped Blotchy

Do you realize that Just beneath that

enly bring this complexion to the surface
discarding the old one! You can in the
easiest simplest most natural manner
Imaginable. Just get an ounce of ordinary
mercollzed wax at any drug store apply
nightly like cold cream. remoTing it
mornings with warm water The wax as-

wonderful results in so snort a time.
Fine lines and even the deeper wrinkles
often appear at this season in such cases
