This unseasonable Spring in Janu: ary. which has continued almost un. broken since the first of the year in this part of the country, depends for its continuance primarily upon _two conditions existing more than 5,000 | I miles apart, it was explained at the Weather Bureau yesterday. Pirst is the meteorological condition in the valley of the Mackenzie River, extending from the Arctic Coast east of the Alaska Mountains and down into Northern Canada east of the Rockles. Second is the cobdition of the atmos- phere over approximately the Island of { Bermuda. | Cold must come from somewhere. Qenerally speaking, it comes from the North Pole and the Arctic Ocean. The Mackenzie Valley is one of the two great sluices through which the cold air escapes from s Arctic reservolr over a large part of North America. It 50 _happens that Washington is directly affected by the Mackenzie Valley con- ditions and only indirectly, or infre- | quently, by the other great cold-air sluice—Hudson Bay and the St. Law- rence Valley—through which Eastern | i Canada, New England and New York | draw their supplies of zero weather. Because of this perhaps the four most vital spots on the weather map, so far as Washington is concerned, are four Canadian observing stations along the Mackenzie at Fort Simpson, Capper- mine, Fort Smith and PFort Norman, from which dally reports are received. | ‘Together they constitute a sort | weather pulse for the continent.

This month, it so happens, it has remained consistently strong and well integrated. So the stra Spring-in-Winter Wash- ington has been experiencing s the product of two factors—very little cold afr is coming down and what little there is can't get through. 1f there wils an enormous accumu- lation of cold air in the MacKenzie it probably would break through in s few days despite the Bermuda high. If the Bermuda high were anemic, smaller gusts of cold would be effective. For that matter the two conditions strongly | affect each other. | this Winter in the MacKenuie Valley is being manufactured in the North Pole factory as any otiaer year. Nobody nows of any change in fundamental conditions there—any cosmic depres- sion effecting the long-established bus- iness of Boreas & Co.

The pretentious new Memorial ave- nue, running from the Boundary Chan- nel Bridge in the Arlington Memorial Bridge project to the Georgetown-Alex- andria turnpike, that skirts the east wall of Arlington National Cemetery, is expected to be opened to the publie late this week or early next. Officials of the Bridge Commission said yesterday that some additional curbing work has to be completed, al- though the highway construction has been finished. After cleaning up the project and with the last poured con- crete firmly set, the highway will be thrown open to traffic. The south side of the avenue has been used by the public for some time. Much work remains to be done on the plaza in front of the memorial entrance, which marks the westerly terminus of the Arlington Memorial Bridge project, at the east wall of the cemetery. This means the public will not be able to drive onto the newly constructed road within the cemetery for about two months more. Concrete is being poured in the plaza and curbs are being set, while work is proceeding on the hemi- cycle that is built into the hiliside. ‘Work on the hemicycle will take some six weeks more, depending on the Wweather, officials said.

At k-neck speed the mass of cold air comes down through Western Canada east of the Rockies and into the United States. Then, as a general rule, it is turned eastward across the South- western and South Central States and, three or four days after leaving the Arctic, is likely to strike the neigh- borhood of Washington if there is noth- m to stop it. If the accumulation of ld alr is exc ly heavy, accord- ing to Weather Bui observers, it may even push its way down out of the Arctic by its own weight without the !aid of any road-breaking lows.
