THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) WEATHER CHANGE Here’s something to liven up your daily discussion of the weather. The coldest place in the country is Devil’s’ Lake. N. D. It has 64 days of the year when the thermometer i at zero or below, and 192 days when the temperature is freezing or lower. The longest and most severe winters are in North Dakota, Minnesota, and the northern parts of Michigan and Ver- mont. Despite the cold they have to endure, the people of these sections impress a traveler as stacking up very robust and generally healthy. They have to be, to stand the winter cli- mate. Sonature comes to their rescue, hardens them against the hardships of ‘weather. Nature fortiffes Ti} Against almost any ®bstacle we encoun- course, The source of all disease is in restricting natural proc- €sses. This applies to diseases of the mind and emotions, as ayell as to the body. ‘among your weather discussers, try this: The “winter line” has moved north 130 miles in the last 25 years. Putting it in a more scientific way, American climate is fone and a third degrees warmer, averaging the whole year, now than it was in 1897. A change of one degree in temper- ? ature moves the “winter line” 100 miles north or south. £3 Scientists claim that climate has not changed much in the last 100 years, if we average winter and summer over 105 year periods. But the old settlers probably are right about winters in the northern states not being as severe as they used to be. Snowfall is lighter than in the old days when sleighs drove over fence-tops. Depleting forests seems to have changed snowfall in some mysterious w In winter we need an hour’s more sleep than in summer, says the medical editor of the London Times. He figures it out this way: The two agencies that restore our exhausted bodies are sleep and sunlight. When the seasons change and we have ¢ = “| = make up for the loss. i No two bodies are exactly alike, however, and the sleep that will recuperate one may be too much or not enough : for another. The wise plan is to let nature guide us. She tells us when we need sleep—makes us drowsy. When we = get up in the morning “all fagged out,” we are cheating nature and injuring our health. Sleep is the best medicine. THE BLACK GHOST A startling ghost story is creating a sensation in Eng- gland. ¥scientists are taking his claim seriously, for he is a man of ghigh standing. His father was “chief whip” of the Con- =servative party, also vice-chamberlain to Queen Victoria and eet King Edward. Nay = Lord St. Audries encountered his “black ghost” in the fool traditional theatrical ‘atmosphere. He didn’t believe in “ghosts. But he was curious. So, on a week-end visit, he and his hosts decided to investigate a nearby haunted house. This haunted house was a deserted dwelling, crumbling “to*déeayittered with fallen plaster and other rubbish. The ghost’s headquarters were supposed to be in a second- flger bathroom where, some 50 years ago, an insane doctor had committed an atrocious. murder and later committed suicide. Br-r-r-r! tug rent = jnitt cor to & ave jman Sons mad th for) hr; i, he1™ Lord St. Audries mounted guard in the upstairs hall in sight of the bathroom door. He had a candle for light. His friends remained outside. (Most of us would.) Here is Lord St. Audries’ report of what happened: “Out of the door down the dark passage, some- thing rushed like an immense bat towards me. It was black from head to foot and it seemed to be built in the form of a very powerful man. But two i things made me know that it was no human being. | First I could see no face, just a hideous blank. i Secondly, though it came with huge leaps over the i rough, rickety floor, it made absolutely no noise. i “But when this thing dashed out I was struck backwards with an irresistible force . . . . I found myself fighting, struggling with I know not what, down the steep sairs.” F Having escaped, Lord St. Audries learns that no dog can | be coaxed into the garden around the haunted house. This is the most" gignficant part of his story. | Neurologists, specializing in psychic phenomena, would’ re) = Mind — an hallucination while in a highly-strung psycho- he = imaginative condition.

They discover that beautifit! | Miriam Vane, society portrait paint- ler, has been murdered in her studio | apartment on the third floor. Ladd, | a young artist on the second floor, | Griswold, a bachelor in the fourth, | and Patricia Shaw, a writer on the h, deny having heard the shot Griswold states that Ladd had bee 1 friendly with Miss Vane. This, Laid denies. |, “Well,” Gordon Ladd his Lips and spoke slowly, |each word with care. “I let my lin at the entrance with my house i key and had reached the door of | my apartment outside here wher j glancing up the stairs I caught | a glimpse of Mrs. Vane in the hail above, just outside her own door.

It seemed almost the next mo- ment, as I have stated, that the com- motion arose, ald as no one. else seemed likely to reply to that bang- ing on the entrance door I went down and admitted the policeman. We heard voices and saw lights coming from Mrs. Vane’s apartment and went up together, but I had heard no shot and of course had no suspicion of, the truth. That is why it floored me so when—when I saw the body.” It was only at the conclusion of tho STAIRS ll Ne?

Craig stared at him in genuine j surpfise, but/#he shot found mark. ‘Leaping to his feet, with nis | hahdsome face darkened and distort- ed in a paroxysm of rage,” Ladd cried: “So that’s what you two have been trying to get at, is it? That miser- able wretch Griswold has noted my acquaintanceship with Mrs. Vane and deliberately tried to blacken her character in your eyes! I admit that I was in love with her; all our world in Paris as well as here will tell you of my long attempt to make her my wife, but they will also tel! you that she has laughed at my love for her, as she has at that of all others. I would have said nothing, but now that he has spoken, ask him what claim he has upon hex, gentlemen, for I lied to you! I did see someone upon the stairs! It was he whom I saw leaving her apartment a moment before I enter- ed my own and the shot was fired which must have ended her life!” Vv Sergeant Barry felt that. the mo- ment was too tense and the possi- ble issue too important to give his colleague an opportunity to inter- rupt. Without a glance at Craig he demanded of the: almost distraught “That. being the case, Mr. Ladd, tell us the truth of what happened last night!

Did she offer any ex- planation?” “Certainly not, and I thought nothing of it!” Ladd replied hotly. “It is a ridiculously trivial notion been a hundred unimportant rea- sons.” : “There might. have been a hund- red reasons, Mr. Ladd!” Again there came that maddening repetition of his name which had so often helped in breaking a stubborn witness un- der the third degree, “But in this fase there was only one, and you know it!
