A thtindershower probably will arrive late this afternoon or tonight, according to Mr. Reed's predictions.

The mercury will fall to a point between 60 and 70 degrees. An area of rainfall extends over the Lake region and the central Mississippi valley today ad vancing eastward to the New Eng land states and New York city. "There is a chance for fair weather tomorrow," Mr. Reed said, "following a morning of unsettled and threatening weather which will break during the day. In the event of sunshine the mercury should rise to 80 degrees or more." Highest temperature recorded Sunday was 80 degrees.

In the Midwestern states many cities reported unimuallv high temperatures as Chicago. 92 degrees Ies Moines, 94 degrees, and Dodge City, 9 3 degrees. A continued period of heavy rainfall would prove detrimental to farm crops, Mr. Reed ex plained. Farmers are unable to give crops the proper culture when rainfall is excessive and the prob lem of draining the soil properly becomes difficult.

Today's rainfall should not exceed a half inch, however, he added. W. J. Donahue Again Head Civil Service Group William J. Donohue of Binghamton was reelected president of the Civil Service Association of the State of New York at the annual convention which closed in Kingston yesterday.
