Yesterday may be fairly considered to have been one of the quietest days ever experienced. Although certain regions in the South and the Midwest did not register exceptional conditions, on the East and West Coasts the absence of conversation was at its most pronounced since the wave of silence that swept the country six years ago. The high levels of hush were experienced the day before as well, but were broke by loud and obnoxious monologues by a number of men that subsided yesterday. The forecast calls for tranquility to diminish until chatter returns to normal levels.
