They ex- . hibit a great preference for the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys, and they shun the mountain area to the west. Cold waves are practically unknown in the Pacific j North-West, but they appear at times in California, often accompanied by strong winds. We have an interesting report from an aviator who flew in one of our recent cold waves. He said that he flew in the cold air up to 10,000 feet and there he found a 4,000 foot layer of air that was over 40 degrees warmer than the air immediately below. It is, of course, known that such temperature inversions are common when cold waves are blowing along the ground and that the air seems to be formed like a layer cake. Cold air is heavy, so, as it blows, it runs along the ground pushing warmer air'up. The configuration of the North American continent i determines where cold waves will go. North America is shaped something like a trough, open at the north, providing an easy en- ; trance for the cold air from the Trctic regions. On the west coast ‘ the mountain tops are generally. ! above 10,000 feet, which is the top : I limit, to which cold waves usually) go because of their weight. Cold | air cannot climb over high moun- i ’ tains. On the east we have the Appala-I chian Plateau, generally about44, l 000 feet high, cut through in its' northern part by the broad valley of the St. Lawrence River. When a cold wave blows it fills the low! ground of the Mississippi Valley., Some of it spills out through the . St. Lawrence Valley and some of it may even move south along the west wall of the Appalachians and go around the end of those mountains to Florida. While the Appalachians are not high enough to turn back really large cold air masses, they do act as a protector

and to throw off all governmental interference with their incorporate initiative.” He said “this private socialism, this private regimentation of industry, finance, and commerce, if not stopped, is the forerunner of political socialism.” Almost calling names, Jackson accused “America’s dominant families” of keeping control of industry in the hands of comparatively incompetent inheritors of industrial and financial wealth. He defended labor and its demands for higher wages against responsibility for recession and cited increases in General Motors’ executive salaries in three years. Jackson’s two addresses and his job as senior assistant attorney general in charge of anti-trust cases put him in command of the political-economic front which promises to be most active in the next year or so. Washington is bubbling now with rumors that Mr. Roosevelt wants Jackson to run for governor of New York next year aud possibly for president in i 1940 on the new deal-Democratic . ticket. Astute politicians long associated with Mr. Roosevelt are inclined to believe Jackson is the 1940 White House favorite. Therefore, Washington is re-appraising the Jamestown, N. Y„ lawer, age 45, Democrat, Episcopalian and Mason who arrived in 1934 to become gen- < 'era! counsel for the bureau of in- ’ ternal revenue. He was moved to <

WEATHER QUESTIONS Q. —Will you inform me why our coldest weather follows the 21st and 22nd of December instead of being at the time when the sun is farthest south and why our hottest weather follows the time when the sun is farthest north? (J. D. L.) A.—The earth loses heat slowly In autumn, and gains it slowly in spring, so temperatures always lag behind the astronomical summer and winter, because of the angle at which the suns rays hit the earth. Q. —Is is possible to rig up a home-made humidifier more satisfactory than those metal humidifii era htrng on radiators? (Mrs.G.S.) A—A pot of boiling water on the stove will work well. Q.—Are any dry waves scheduled for 1938? (K.D.L.) A,—Part of the Ohio Valley and lower Great Lakes will be less wet than desirable, according to latest computations. Q— How long is the dry cycle going to last in the north central states? (J.P.S.) A—lt is ending now. The tip of the next wet cycle ranges from 1943 in the south to about 1949 in the extreme north of America. Q.-Will next summer rains reach northwestern North Dakota and eastern Montana? (E.G.0.) A.—lt seems probable that they ! will. Q.— Why is North Carolina considered an ideal all around place to live hi? Does it get to zero in winter and above 100 in summer? (Mrs. R. M.) A.—North Carolina is protected by a mountain wall from the worst of cold waves from the northwest, while it is far enough north to escape the steamy heat of the Gulf : Coast. Extremes of zero and 100 : degrees are rare. _ - ■ ♦ THE CENTER OF THE EARTH - ; What is the center of the earth ! I like? What effect does it have | | on weather?

the justice department last year. Jackson came here from a small town corporate practise. “My legal experience,” he once said in an interview, “made me a liberal. As an attorney for banks, 1 saw the manner in which country banks were wrecked by the bonds sold them by alleged big business. I refused to believe the | bunk of speakers sent, out by big business to address local Chambers of Commerce and other flag waving organizations.” In an address which jarred his profession, Jackson once demanded of a New York audience why lawyers should have a monopoly of supreme court and other judicial appointments, remarking that there was no constitutional bar against appointing laymen. He said he wanted a "simple, clear and workable” constitutional law and criticized modern courts for “trying to draw injunctions against a whole people.” Jackson made what was regarded as the best argument in behalf of Mr. Roosevelt’s judiciary reorganization bill when he appeared before the senate committee last March. It included these words; “The whole program overwhelmingly approved by the people in 1932-34-35 is in danger of being lost in a maze of court metaphors.”. Dwight Galllvan of Bluffton, 1 court reporter of Wells circuit court was a Decatur business visitor to- | day.

CHILD MARRIAGE IS FORBIDDEN H 12-Year-Old Linton Girl Is Mother; Marriage Forbidden Linton, Ind., Dec. 30 — Twelve-1 year-old Betty June Lacer made plans today for her baby’s future, Innmindful of the furor caused in , inis southern Indiana village by revelation of the child’s birth -and that Ite father is Tommy Chapman, 13. The baby, weighing ten a id oneha’f pounds, was born Tuesday. Betty June is a slight, pretty brunette and weighs 85 pounds. Tommy who readily admitted his responsibilities to circuit Judge J. Raymond Powell, Is a husky lad for his age. He weighs 130 and is five feet, five inches in helghth. Residents of the mining community—long proud of its prominence ae center of the nation's population -—buzzed excitedly about the affair, but Dr. E. V. Bull, the mayor, urged that the matter le dropped. “It's just one of these things,” he said. "It’s the result of proverty and environment. The matter is closed and the parents of the children agree with me in that respect." ; Calmest of the citizenry were the children's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Chapman and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Lacer. “There’s no use in bearing ill will" Lacer said. "I don’t want Tommy jailed.” All of the parents, he eaid, approved the marriage. But the law won’t allow it” he added. "‘They can be married when they come of age. It’s just one of those things that happened.” Tommy was taken before Judge Powell yesterday to answer a statu-' tory charge. "All I want is a chance to marry her,” he said. But Judge Powell said the marriage would be impossible because Indiana law forbids any gi"l under 16, even with the consent of her parents, to become a bride. He took the case under advisement. "Maybe,” Tommy said, ”1 could take her to one of those states where they let you marry young.” That was blocked because Judge tßowell ordered him released to “strict" custody of his parents. The children were neighnors and playmates from their first school days.. They were graduated from eighth grade last spring. Their fathers are coal miners and have been friends for many years. Before Betty Juno became a mother the Chapman family moved to Detroit. They returned to Lin-1 ton after the child was born and said they will remain until Judge [ Powell gives his ruling. Tuesday Betty June’s father, Ben, appeared at the office of a Linton newspaper and said: “My daughter gave birth to a son today and I want to nut an announcement in the paper.” He said that if the children could not be married he expected the Chapman family to contribute to support of the baby. The children, he said, often exHORSE SALE January 3,1938 12:00 Noon Sale to be held at Decatur Riverside Sales 75 — HORSES — 75 If you are looking for horses, be sure to attend this sale.

Tommy, now a highschool freshman, announced his Intention of obtaining a marriage license when ho learned Betty wim to become a mol her. When Informed by friends of tlie slate law forbidding the marriage, Betty June’s parents appealid to Green county authorities for 1 advice and as a result Tommy was taken before Judge Powell. Betty already has become efficient in the arts of a housewife. She Is an experienced seamstress and has been making clothes for the baby for several months. She is bright and quick-witted and a “beter than average student” her teachers said. Betty said Tommy was a "very good boy.” "We didn’t meau to do any wrong" she said.

The strikers returned to work under a secret agreement, which was understood to include a pledge by the government that their ' grievances, particularly as to pay, would be considered. It was too early to say whether, by its firmness, the government had won a decisive victory over the turbulent strike elements. But there seined no doubt that strike leaders were overawed both by the government's firmness and by the apparent lack of public support. The truck drivers' and various other strikes which continued were not related to the municipal workers’ strike. In most cases they wore due to arguments ever collective bargaining contracts.
