EAST DUE FOR EARLY SPRIN6, SAYS EXPERT Scientist Bares Prediction on Mild Winter in • Canada. By Science Service WORCESTER, Mass., March 12. — Spring will arrive early in eastern United States, Professor Charles F. Brooks of Clark university here predicts on the basis of a recently discovered relationship between winter temperatures in Winnipeg, Canada, and spring temperatures in the eastern states. Fred Groissmayr, a meteorologist of Passau, Germany, last year published in the Monthly Weather Review, official publication of the weather bureau, data showing that March and April temperatures in eastern United States usually is indicated by the January-February tempertaure at Winnipeg. Professor Brooks has compiled the daily maximum and minimum temperature at Winnipeg from daily weather maps and finds that the temperature was 14.2 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in January and 19.0 degrees above normal in February, an average of 16.6 degrees above normal for these two months of 1931. In only one year in the period of record has Winnipeg had a warmer January or February combined. Fifty years of weather records show that by multiplying this excess over normal temperature at Winnipeg by the factor 0.227, the expected departure from normal temperatures in a group of eastern United States cities can be obtained. This computation carried out indicates that the March-April temperatures will be 3.8 degrees above normal. Dr. Brooks, therefore, expects a w r arm March and April and an early spring. Mr. Groissmayr, the German

Miss Mildred Bennett, sister and hostess of Canada's premier, R. B. Bennett, and therefore “First Lady” of the Dominion, is to marry W. D. Herridge, K. C., it is reported at Ottawa. Herridge, who has been called “the Colonel House of Canada,” because of his confidential relations with the government, is soon to become minister to Washington.

meteorologist, explains this correspondence between winter Winnipeg temperature and spring eastern United States temperatures as being due to lack of chilling of air passing over the lake states during a mild winter.

ANNUAL REPORT SHOWS LIDRARY AS 'KNOW-ALL' Every Sort of Question Is Asked —and Answered by City Sage. Somewhere in Indianapolis today a telephone conversation is buzzing between Mr. “I Would Like to Know” and Mr. Modem Sage, who unfailingly answers any and all questions his interrogator may ask. This modem seer is deluged by young and old who want to know everything from rules for the amateur gardener to information on how to refurnish a home on a modest income. He will help the housewife weave a rug, the artist paint his picture or the musician find his song, for nothing is beyond the knowledge of Mr. Sage, who, in reality, is the reference room of the public library. This sage answered 23,490 questions for citizens during the year, according to annual report which Luther L. Dickerson, city librarian, submitted to the school board Tuesday night.

The 22,000 books on techniceiogical and scientific subjects, sev-enty-four newspaper files, 552 different periodicals and thousands of other sources of information used by the reference department are a small part of the library’s offering to the reading public, the report indicates. A record for number of books borrowed was struck in 1930 when the central library and forty-four branches loaned 288,493 books more than the year previous, a gain of 12 per cent. Fine arts played an important role. For there was a 30 per cent increase in the reading of books, including those on architecture, flower gardening, interior decoration, music and painting. Each citizen of the city read four books last year. This figure is

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

arrived at by dividing the total library circulation of 3,665,000 volumes with the city population 364,161. Library cards are held by 34.6 per cent of the entire population. . An additional index to increase library service is found in the growing number of book distribution points. This number increased during the year from 171 to 215. Never in the history of the library, did so many parents come to the library for information concerning best reading material for their children, the report states.

Wrong Time of Month To some women the calendar is a tyrant, with certain days set aside for pain. Such martrydom is needless! Midol—acting directly on the organs affected —disposes of every bit of pain at such a time. Midol is not a narcotic. It does nothing to interfere with the natural* and necessary monthly process, but it eases the organs in five to seven minutes in even the most severe cases. Furthermore, the woman who takes a tiny tablet of Midol in time will experience no suffering at all. For your own sake, investigate Midol and see how reliable and complete is its relief—no matter how hard a time you’ve always had. At every drugstore in trim metal case for fifty cents. Many have found Midol the quickest relief for headaches, neuralgia, neuritis and other pain.—Advertisement.

of the Democratic majority in the house of representatives, and the Democratic minority in the state senate. R. Earl Peters, Democartic state chairman, contends in a statement issued today. Platform pledges were redeemed in the house, without exception, Peters said. He threw blame for all constructive measures which failed to the Bepublican-controlled senate and the Republican Governor. Among accomplishments of the house to which Peters pointed were passage of personal and corporate

Income tax bills, the voters’ registration bill, an old-age pension bill, a bill for uniform salaries for county officials, an inheritance tax bUI and a bill to eliminate the fee system in Lake county. Peters rallied to the defense of Walter Myers, Democratic speaker of the house, in writing on the income tax bill his objection to the method of passage in the senate, with a denunciation of the senate for killing its companion measure, the corporate income tax bill.
