Grandpa’s Wrong! Winter Isn’t Growing Any Milder

Another pet theory of the “when I was a boy" group hits been dispelled. Grandpa can say, “We don’t have winters like we had when I was a boy," all he wants to, but he can’t prove It. J. H. Armlngtnn, United States meteoroloelst for Indianapolis, will tell you the contrary is time. Furthermore, he will show you an eye glimmering stack of figures to prove that no matter how disappointing, he Is right. Here’s the dope: The winter of 1317-1918 was the coldest since 1872. The wlr _er of 1880 was the warmest! “It is true that weather conditions undergo periodical changes over a period cf years,” Armlngton said. “There is no permanent change, however, as abnormally warn periods balance the abnormally cold seasons. Just now it appears we are entering upon a period of abnormally cold winters.” Snow Isn’t Vanishing Esther To support this str .ement he showed that from 1883 to 1888 winters were below nbrmal. The same waa true from 1901 to 1905. Then came a su-per-warm period lasting until 1309. The departure from normal i rom then until 1918 alternated above and below. Reactions for year to year are not regular as commonly believed. Armltage said. Out of fifteen warm winters between 1872 and 1910, six cold springs followed, six were average

| and six were warm. In this same ; group two winters were cold, seven were average and six were warm. I Twelve cold winters were followed by three cold springs, six average springs and three warm springs. Os t the winters that followed,, six were i cold, one was average and five were | warm. In the last thirty-seven years there : have been twenty winters in which | the snowfall was greater than the average for that length of time, recI ords show. The fall is less than the j average in seventeen of them. It happens that since 1917-18 the fall has i been less than the average, but in the five years preceding 1917-18 it was more. • Why We Think It’s Milder The greatest amount of snow to fall was In 1892-93, when 40.1 Inches float;ed to the ground. This figure was ! approached, however, in 1913-14, when | 33.3 inches fell, and again in 1917-18, when 32.8 inches fell. “Yet, if you talked until you were j blue in the face you couldn’t make

Because the damper back of the firepot burns the cheapest soft coal or screenings and all the smoke and soot with the same regularity and cleanliness as the burning of gas, producing a steady heat day and night. No Smoke! No Soot! No Dirt! Two tons out of every three tons of soft coal are wasted in all heating stoves constructed without a damper back of the flrepot. Besides the offense inside and outside the house from the accumulation of soot. The Florenc° makes it own gas and bums it and makes its own coke and burns it. Steady heat day and night when the weather is 20 below zero. The medium size holds fire 3 days and 3 nights with one filling, other sizes in proportion. The Florence is an investment. It pays for itself every two years in the saving of coal. In zero weather it will pay for itself the first season in the saving of doctor bills by elimination of irregular heat.

people believe winters are not getting milder,” Armitage said. The reason is they remember the outstanding cold winters In their early life and forget the others. A few inches of snow looks deeper to a youngster than to an adult. “Moreover, we are better protected nowadays. Our homes are built better, we have better clothing, better heating systems, and we go about In closed cars. Another misleading indication is the fact that com is grown farther and farther into the Northwest from year to year. But, it is not because the winters are warmer that the corn thrives. It is because the com is becoming acclimated to weather conditions Street Ear Conductor Is Wrong “People who move their homes form false impressions, also. Naturally, winters are more c.vere in the North, and if people move South they should realize it will be warmer.” All of which refutes the statement ARE WOMEN OVERWORKED Yes, hundreds of thousands of them are This applies to the housewife and mother who struggles on a small Income to make both ends meet by doing all tho washing, ironing, cooking, making and mending for a large family. There are others who not only support themselves working in factories, shops, stores and offices, but often have an invalid father or mother to support, therefore do housework besides. These are the women who break down early and are afflicted with various forms of female weakness Ninety-eight out of every 100 women who have tried Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound have proved that it Is a successful remedy for woman's Ills. For nearly fifty years it has been restoring women tfi health, and It will pay every ailing woman to try it—Advertisement.

winter any more. There ain’t enough snow.”

EHE one biggest job the Fund does, the one which most directly affects you— you and your own family —is its work of PREVENTION —of disease prevention , crime prevention , destitution prevention. That's how Indianapolis keeps ahead of the hopeless conditions which many other cities have to fight ceaselessly. Indianapolis, through its Fund, goes after them at the source , fights their causes, puts out many a fire before it spreads. Remember that in this work of prevention should be counted the character-building work done by the Fund. Lives diverted from idle poverty to useful citizenship; from indolence and dependence to industry and self-respect, from ways that lead to vice and crime to ways that make for decency—these things really count for more of worth-while accomplishment than the work of prevention which affects only the physical men, women and children. It can hardly be touched upon here, but if you’ll look into the work of the summer camps, the settlement houses, the protective agencies and the like, you’ll find many a record of accomplishment which you will agree is worth thousands of dollars to Indianapolis on the purely selfish, monetary side. Remember the only gift worth giving the poor and destitute is OPPORTUNITY. A Fund overflowing affords opportunity for all.
