APRIL 8, 1935

HOT SUMMER IS PREDICTED FOR MIDWEST

Mercury Not to Reach 1934 Marks, However; Little Rain Forecast. By ftrtmce Berrien DES MOINES. April B—Hot weather beyond the average is coming to lowa, heart of the corn belt, during the coming summer. So prophesies Charles D. Reed, senior meteorologist of the United States Weather Bureau here. However, he adds as at least a modicum of reassurance, the summer of 1935 is not likely to be quite so hot as the summer of 1934. That scorching season appears to have been the climax of an elevenyear cyclic climb in summer temperatures; 1935 should mark the beginning of the long slide toward cooler summers. What holds good for lowa is to be expected to be true also for the Midwest in general, although Mr. Reed does not undertake to extend his prophetic jurisdiction outside the boundaries of his own state. The upper Mississippi Valley and adjacent territory in the Great Lakes region form a fairly wellmarked geographic and meteorologic unit. Basis of Forecasts Mr. Reed's method of forecasting the general nature of the weather for a season depends on his statistical study of preceding seasons. Thus, he states, of the 12 warmest Junes of record, 11 have been followed in the next spring by Aprils warmer than usual. June of 1934 was next to the warmest June of record, so the indications seem to be plain. Probabilities also point to a dry April; this forecast is based on the correlations between both Mays and Junes appearing on past records as unusually dry months, followed in succeeding years by dry Aprils. Furthermore, May of this year will be warmer and drier than normal if it follows the tendnecies of past years, Mr. Reed says. “Warmer and Drier” “Several lines of data point to a summer (June, July and August) averaging warmer and drier than normal,” he continues. “The heat probably will not be so intense and persistent as in 1934, but the rainfall will not likely be much different. "Contrary to the general impression, more than two-thirds of the counties of lowa had more rainfall in the summer of 1934 than in the summer of 1933. July, 1934, averaged 3 per cent more than the normal rainfall for the state. The trouble was that the relentless sunshine and heat greatly increased the water requirements of plants and animals and quickly evaporated and dissipated the rain that fell. If we have more moderate temperatures in 1935, crop conditions should be much better, though the rainfall be no greater than in 1934. “The distribution of temperature and rainfall through the summer is highly important. A hot, dry June and early July is detrimental to oats, barley, wheat and hay. If the last half of July is relatively cool and the first twenty days of August rainy, a good crop of corn is almost assured. Bumper corn crop seasons are warm at both ends and cool in the middle.”

AMATEUR ASTRONOMERS H'-AR I. U. EDUCATOR Dr. W. A. Cogshall Lectures About Mars Before Group. Intensive studies of the planet Mars are being made at this time by Western observatories since the planet now is at its closest position to earth. Dr. W. A. Cogshall. Indiana University professor of astronomy, told members of the Indiana Amateur Astronomers’ Association meeting in Typographical Terrace yesterday. A thermometer capable of recording the temperature of a candle 12 miles distant is being used to determine whether there is life on the planet, he said. Conditions are believed to exist under which life could be possible there, he said, although there is no proof that intelligent beings live on the planet.

ROOSEVELT AID OF DEVIL, CRIES BILLY SUNDAY

New Deal Borrowed From Russia, Evangelist Tells City Baptists. The world is going to hell. That’s the opinion of the Rev. William Ashley (Billy) Sunday, tongue-lashing evangelist who loosed one of his long-famed tirades yesterday afternoon at the First Baptist Church here where he pleaded for money to save the dying Winona Lake Institutions. That “the world is going to hell so fast that it’s breaking the speed limits,” has been the opinion of Mr. Sunday for 40 years, but yesterday the former National League baseball player wound up and said it again. See America Gone “Loco” His 72 years have not dampened the ardor of this lowa native who has preached to more than 80 million persons and has caused more sinners to hit the ‘sawdust trail” than any other one person. One reason for the world heading in the wrong direction, according to Mr. Sunday, is the Roosevelt Administration which has patterned itself after Russia. “America has gone loco. We are trying to drink ourselves Into sobriety, borrow ourselves out of debt, and have peace without justice. The age is dying morally,” the huskyvoiced preacher told the more than 1500 people who crowded the church. “America doesn’t want a dictator,” he cried, and the 1500 cheered. Raps College Professors But the worst enemies of right today are the “godless professors in our colleges who talk our boys and girls out of the faith of our fathers.” in the words of Mr. Sunday, who once held the record for stealing bases. He flayed the pedagogs who are telling youth that “restriction breeds warped character,” and claimed that the “youth of today aren’t any worse than they were in our day. They just have more convenient ways of making fools out of themselves.” Caustically Mr. Sunday attacked the “false prophets who want to make the United States a second edition of Russia,” and pounced on nudists whom he tagged a “bunch of nuts . . . who ought to be sent to Africa and be made to run around with the monkeys and baboons,” at which remark the evangelist gave convincing imitations of the animals in their native haunts. Stating that “Communism has introduced the morals of the barnyard,” and that America is headed for economic destruction, Mr. Sunday climaxed his point with: “Some folks would sell coal to hell for a profit." “There is just one decision—Christ

We have reached the Saturday night of the Gentile age. America needs to be taken outback and have the hose turned on her . . . we’ve worn the devil’s robes too long,” Mr. Sunday vehemently concluded. Yes sir. according to Mr. Sunday the world is still going to hell. And Mr. Sunday will romp across the platform to show you just about how fast it’s going.

WAR PROFITS LEGISLATION IS NOW ASSURED

House Liberals Victorious in Their Fight to Amend McSwain Bill. By Berippn-liotrnrd Sricipaper AVinnrt WASHINGTON. April B.—Drastic legislation to take the profits out of war appeared assured today through the victory of House liberals in their fight to amend the McSwain bill. Senators expect that the Nye bill, which would limit corporation profits to 3 per cent and individual incomes to about SIO,OOO in war time, will be writtep into the McSwain measure by the Senate. This became possible when adoption of a tax amendment to the McSwain bill was forced in the House. Otherwise, the constitutional requirement that all revenue legislation start in the House would have tied the Senate’s hands. Way Now Clear “The way is now clear for us to get what we want.” said Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg iR., Mich.), reflecting the general opinion of his colleagues on the Senate Munitions Committee. “Three days ago we were headed straight for a deadlock. where we couldn't have done anything but glare at each other.” Senator Vandenberg spent two hours on the House floor Saturday lining up Republicans and urging Rep. McSwain. who served on the War Policies Commission with him, to accept the amendment taxing excess wartime profits 100 per cent. Country Behind Move Mr. McSwain said today he would net ask reconsideration of any of the amendments added to his bill on the floor last week, even that sponsored by Rep. Gerald Boileau (Pro., Wis.). The Boileau cla,us would prevent conscripts from being sent to foreign soil to fight, except to repel an invasion of the United States. That the country is strongly behind war profits' legislation with teeth in it is the belief of members of both House and Senate.
