WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 -No
rain, no snow and moderate tem-
peratures.
Broadly speaking that was the
weather forecast for Christmas day
for the Eastern and Southeastern
states, despite the fact that In the
caplal today roofs were covered with
snow, slush was underfoot and rain,
snow and sleet mingled were falling.
Ohio, Northern New York and
Western Pennsylvania were excep-
tions to the general rule. Rain or
snow is likely In these sections on
Christmas afternoon.
Bad weather in Washington today
had little effect on Christmas pre-
parations, with Congress in recess
and the president planning for B
quiet holiday season. - -
Two of the cabinet members. Sec-
retary Mellon and Secretary Brown,
were out of town, Mellon being on
a yachting trip and Brown In To-
ledo. Ohio. The majority, however,
had arranged to spend the day tn
the capital. Vice-president Curtis
planned to remain in the city.
About IM members of the house
remained In Washington for the
Christmas holidays, most of them
from the Western states who did
not desire to make the long trek
home.

That octa tn Denton County have
been badly damaged by the severs
cold weather during the past few
days, was the fear expressed by P.
B. Dunkle, superintendent of the
State Experiment Station, here
Monday.
Dunkle said the oats appeared
to have been killed outright by the
cold but that tt would be several
days as yet before tt was definitely
known whether or not the crop had
survived. Little damage to wheat
was caused by the cold althotiRh
both wheat and oat tops have been
froeen to the ground, Dunkle said.
The fact that the wet land was
frosen and the cold thus allowed
to get to the roots of outs, Dunkle
said, caused more damage than the
tops of the plants freezing.
