‘Blackout’ Here; |

Sun's to Blame '-

THE WEATHER Bureau today | "“divalged” information about a | “blackout” In Indianapolis. Meteorologist J. H. Armington warned that the sun, which rose at 7:04 a. m, will set a few seconds after 4:23 p. m. Yesterday, the sun performed |

the same way. Thus, yesterday and today, are the shortest days | of 1941. Tomorrow “the blackout” will be of about the same duration. The sun will rise at | 7:05 a. m. and set at 4:24 p. m. The minimum temperature toGay was 83 at Sa. m. Mr. Armington suggested that if the Germans have any complaint about Indianapolis being warmer than Russia, or the Italfans objecting to it being colder than Libya, or the Japanese wanting it to be as sunny as Luzon— Well, if they don't like our weather, Mr. Armington says the Axis agitators can go hang.
