DEATH VALLEY MERELY SMILES AT 120 ABOVE Terrific Climate Described in Detail Before Weather Men. By Science Service PASADENA, Cal., June 18.—Death Valley’s climate, America's nearest approximation to the inferno, was described in detail today before the meeting of the American Meteorological Society, by Ernest E. Eklund of the San Francisco office of the United States weather bureau. Since 1911, there has been an observatory at Greenland ranch, better known as Furnace Creek ranch, 178 feet below sea level and 98 feet above the lowest part of the valley. On July 10, 1913, a maximum temperature of 134 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded at Greenland ranch and was accepted as the highest natural-air made temperature that ever has been recorded anywhere under approved conditions of equipment and exposure. Minimum of 15 Recorded This record was exceeded by a temperature of 136 degrees recorded at Azizia, Tripoli, in 1922. Extreme maximum temperatures of 120 degrees or higher have occurred at Greenland ranch in every month from May to September, inclusive, and of 100 degrees in every month from March to October, inclusive. In July and August, 1917, maximum temperatures of 120 degrees were recorded on forty-three consecutive days. Though high temperatures occur In summer, freezing weather occurs frequently in winter. Temperatures of 32 degrees or lower have been recorded from October to March, inclusive, and in December, January and February, 1928-29, there were seventy-two consecutive days on which the temperature fell to the freezing point. An extreme minimum temperature of 15 degrees has occurred. The nights are comfortably cool from October to April, inclusive, but In summer minimum temperatures of 90 degrees or higher are not unusual and minimum temperatures of 100 degrees are not unknown. The hottest month is July with a mean temperature of 102 degrees and the coolest is January with a mean temperature of 51.4 degrees. „ Precipitation Is Slight The mean daily range in temperature is about 30 degrees, but daily ranges of 50 degrees or more have occurred in practically all months. The average annual precipitation 6 only 1.38 inches, and sometimes _ whole year is rainless. In December, January and February, 1928-29, there were 401 consecutive days on which no measurable precipitation occurred. There are on an average only seven rainy days a year. A daily rainfall of one inch or more in twenty-four hours has been recorded at Greenland Ranch only four times in twenty years, and the heaviest ' monthly rainfall ever recorded was 1.9 inches in February, 1913. Heavy precipitation occurs in the mountains on each side of Death Valley, generally as the result of thunder-storms, although thunderstorms are infrequent within the valley. Eighty per cent of the days are clear. Relative humidity is often very low and high winds, sometimes accompanied by sand-storms, are not infrequent.

NAB AGITATORS, IS MINE ORDER Trouble Looms in Ohio Over Imported Workers. By United Press ST. CLAIRSVILLE, 0., June 18.— Armed deputy sheriffs were under orders to arrest representatives of the national miners union agitating the strike of 4,000 miners in the eastern Ohio coal fields today as the United Mine Workers of America launched a determined effort to break the strike. For the first time since the strike began over two weeks ago, a definite movement to break it through the importation of miners was in progress. Several mines, closed by the walkout, were reported ready to open again today. Authorities expect trouble when the imported miners start to work. The arrest of three mothers and their seven children, who were taken into custody with five men as they picketed mines near here, today presented authorities with a new problem. The mothers and children are held on open charges as are fifteen men arrested during recent demonstrations. SEA HERMIT TAKES OFF Sails for South Seas Where Natives Look on Him as King. By United Press PARIS, June 18.—The Firecrest 11, ten-ton sloop, has been launched from the French naval construction yard along the Seine at Sartrouville for Alian Gerbalut, hermit of the seas, and within a few months the lone mariner will be off again in his desire to put thousands of miles between himself and civilization. The cruise this time will be to the South Seas, where Gerbault was received by the natives as a king and even today possesses a harem, dancing girls and a cocoanut orchard. FIGHTS BAR BY U. S. Yale Professor Asks Rehearing on His Refusal to Take Arms Oath. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 18.—Professor Douglas C. Macintosh, Yale theologian, has asked the United States supreme court to reconsider the five-to-four decision by which it refused him citizenship because he declined to take an unqualified oath to bear arms in defense of this country. His petition said the decision contrary to the policy followed by this country for 300 years and would bar from citizenship all Quakers and Mennonites. The supreme court has recessed for the summer and the petition can not be acted upon until October.

DOES YOUR HEART EVER PALPITATE ? In many cases, palpitation is caused by the pressure of a gasdistended stomach upon the heart, the gas being generated by the action of excess acid on the food in the stomach. This acidity interrupts digestion, causes food to ferment and attacks the delicate stomach lining, paving the way for gastritis and even dangerous stomach ulcers. One safe way to stop the trouble and avoid possible serious consequences is to neutralize this excess acid. To do this quickly, safely and surely, take a little “Bisurated” Magnesia after meals or whenever pain is felt. ‘ Bisurated” Magnesia instantly stops the painful fermentation, dispels the gas and relieves dangerous pressure on the heart. You feel better right away, and in a few minutes you feel fine. Get a trial package—either powder or handy tablets at Hook Drug Cos. or the nearest drug store, and forget all about the trouble your acidfilled stomach used to make.—Advertisement.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not,” which appeared in Wednesday’s Times: A Ball of Steel Will Float in the Air —If a steel ball is placed in the center of a jet of compressed air shooting from the nozzle, the ball will float in the air as long as the pressure remains even. The air jet can be directed either straight up or at an angle of about 40 degrees, in either instance floating the ball. This suggestion came to me from G. B. Scott, Brooks Field, Texas, who proved the experiment. Jose Regueira y Sanjurjo—Jose Reguerira y Sanjurjo, a 25-year-old carpenter, native of the province of Galicia, Spain, but at present living in Havana, was such an ardent republican that he repeatedly expressed a wish to sacrifice a finger if his dream of a republican regime in Spain eyer came true. Jose lived to see his native country under a republican form of government and he now is minus one finger, in accordance with his vow. Cuban newspapers have commented very sympathetically on this extreme act of patriotism. Mitzi, a Cat, Left a §15,000 Legacy—Through the affection of Dr. Maude Cain of San Gabriel, Cal., “Mitzi,” a great, blue, fluffy Persian cat, was bequeathed $15,000 in Dr. Cain’s will. “Mitzi,” w r ho died last spring, legally left the legacy to a friend of her benefactor, Miss Goetze.

PASTOR,JUDGE WAGEBATTLE Minister Threatened With Contempt Case. By United Press CHICAGO, June 18.—Dr. Clinton C. Cox, pastor of one of the largest Presbyterian churches in Chicago, declared heatedly today he was ready for a “finish fight” with Municipal Judge Francis Borrelli, who is contemplating charging the minister with contempt of court. Dr. Cox’s automobile collided two months ago with one driven by Thomas Byce, a Negro. Dr. Cox had Bryce arrested. After several postponements, Judge Borrelli dismissed the case and advised Dr. Cox to file a civil suit. The minister later wrote Borrelli a letter, declaring he had been treated discourteously, charged he had been refused an opportunity to call witnesses, and remarked that “the case appears to have been fixed from the start.” Upon receiving the letter, Borrelli called Dr. Cox by phone and ordered him to court for consideration cf a contempt charge. Advised by his attorney that whatever he had ~aid in a letter could not be construed as contempt, Dr. Cox did not appear. Ten days later he wrote Judge Borrelli an apology, suggesting that “as a judge and a man of the cloth” they should not carry the controversy further. Boy Injured in Tree Fall Falling from a tree Wednesday afternoon, Leonard Salisbury, 14, ot 806 West Eleventh street, suffered bruises and cuts. He was treated at city hosiptal.

BY GEORGE ABELL, Times Stair Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 18.—Plump, jolly Prince Svasti, father of the qu<>en of Siam, flew into town from Newark in a big de luxe plane.

His royal highness poohpoohed the idea. "I have it,” spoke up young Prince Mondiyavat Svasti, the old gentleman’s son. Forthwith, he proceeded to bundle his royal father and mother into his coupe.

There they relished % real old-fash-ioned flsh dinner. Old Prince Svasti loved It. He drank in the air, slightly flavored with the odor of shrimps, fishing smacks, wet paint. "Ah!” sighed he. He peered over the edge of the balcony, across the black river dotted with blinking lights. Below him, waves lapped at decaying wharves. At the next table to the prince and princess was a gay party of young men, women. They appeared to enjoy life hugely. In front of them reposed a large platter heaped with Bermuda onions. One of the men, wearing a white beret, extended the onions to Prince Svasti. Cried he, convivially: "Here! Have on onion!” "An onion!” retorted the prince. "II have three.” He helped himself lavishly, devoured the onions with gusto. Life of the party, Prince Svasti delights in American cocktails and flavors them from a flask which he carries on his generous hip. Business Group Elects By Timet Special MARION, Ind., June 18.
