His proof is that péople left the | movie house talking at length of the unpleasantness of the film. Their reaction was not belligerent like that engendered by the novel, Rather, it was one of distaste, he said.

WEATHER? IT'S | EVEN BAFFLING | ALL EXPERTS

‘Unusual’ Is Too Mild to Describe Conditions, Says Armington.

J. H. Armington local meteorolo-! gist, is not a man of violent words, ! but when you describe the weather | lof the last six months zs merely | ‘unusual” he takes an exception. It has been, he said, pre-eminent-ly cockeyed, ornery, pestiferous, and | uncommonly hard to handle. In his] 37 years with the Weather Bureau, | he said, he can remember only a| few periods when it was so hard to predict. i And out of Washington, from the! head Bureau, comes corroboration for this, on a nation-wide basis. The weather, since November, has gone haywire on a coast-to-coast basis.

Take the Rain

For instance locally: After an ex-| tremely warm December, the | weather went completely to town the other way and stayed there. | After a dry March, when the aver-| age precipitation for the State was| 1.89 inches against a normal of 3.72 inches, April already is 262 inches ahead of normal. But it has been| quite unevenly distributed, with the| south central portion of the state] getting the lion's share, The whole thing, Mr. Armington | said, has been caused by uneven! and irregular temperatures in the, incubating areas of the great air masses that become weather here— the Canadian Northwest for cold

| { |

[and the Gulf of Mexico for warm.

On a national basis, heavy rains over the eastern states during the past week sent streams over their | banks, while farmers wished for warm, dry weather. In the Middlewest and Southwest dry weather and dust storms have added to crop damage and humai discomfort.
