MONDAY, MAY 2, 1932 RMAN HAS ~~ GLOOMY THOUGHT Describes What Would Happen to World if Temperature Were to Change Washington, raise the average temperature of the earth two or three degrees and you can bid goodbye to all the big cities on earth. Glaciers will melt and ©ceans will rise, and— But let the weatherman get in on this. It took a weatherman to think up the idea and a whole audience of fweathermen to listen to it with com- Posure and without adopting a re- ®olution or staging a demonstration. Dr. William J. Humphreys of the U. S. Weather bureau took a lot of @vidence to make up the painstaking ase, presented Monday to the Amer- fan Meteorological society, that the earth's glaciers, if melted, would raise the ocean level 150 feet, and that the aforementioned slight increase in Warmth would do the melting. One could still be dry above the 45th floor level in cities with sky- Scrapers, but all about would be the bounding waves. New York, Lon- don, Paris, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Washington, Shanghai—all gone. By way of cheer, Dr. Humphreys pictured the world as delicately bal- anced between this catastrophe and the equally cheerless prospect of an- other glacial period. It would take but a drop of five or six degrees in the earth to bring back the ice age, with Canada and the United States @s far south as Kentucky and Iowa one vast skating rink. But skating enthusiasts needn't cheer.

This Process is almost entirely mechanical. A delicate scales that wil! divide a pound into 2,500 parts is brought into use. The seedsman determines from the cost of the seed just how many he should include in a package to pay him. He divides a pound of seed by this scales into the required num- ber of packages. Then another machine is brought into play. It has a die which holds just enough seed to make up the weight determined on the scales. Seeds are fed into a hopper above the machine and from then on fill- ing, closing and sealing of the pack- ages is automatic. The amount of seed in each package does not vary, low the set standard previously de- termined. These machines can turn out 30,000 packages of seed in an eight-hour day, and large seed houses turn out from. 150,000 to 240,000 a day during the rush season, i Grass Lake Bids _ Will Be Numerous | | | > aan Grass Lake school district, in the northern part of Burleigh county, will have a large field of candidates from widely scattered Points from which to choose its next year's teachers. The school district advertised for bids from teacher candidates @ short time ago. These bids will be opened May 10 and it is pre- sumed those bidders asking the smallest salary, providing their qualifications are satisfactory, will get the contracts, Receipt of 35 letters, some in- cluding bids and others asking for further details, at the office of the Burleigh county superin- tendent of schools indicates that the response to the Grass Lake advertisement will be large. Mrs. Nellie G. Evarts, deputy superin- tendent, Monday said she did not know how many bids had been received by the Grass Lake school board clerk, to whom the bids should be sent. A letter of inquiry regarding the advertisement was received here Monday morning from a same lot is planted in pots.

Instead of taking up the Simmons resolution, however, Chairman Jones said it was likely he would ask the house to vote on the Shipstead meas- ure approved Friday by the senate. The latter would appropriate and make immediately available $1,450,- 000. The house will be asked to re- duce that to $1,000,000 and agree to the remainder of the resolution. Speaker Garner told newspaper- men he hoped the house would be able before adjournment tonight to approve the senate resolution to ap- propriate funds to eradicate the grasshoppers. Garner indicated if it were neces- sary the measure would be brought up under a suspension of the rules, limiting debate to 40 minutes. “It is an emergency measure and the house ought to act on it at once,” he said. Reason for doing something quick- ly to keep grasshoppers from destroy- Entomology. He said eggs laid by the grasshop- are beginning to hatch, and added: “There are enough eggs in Minne- sota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado to be a serious menace and promise an outbreak as great as or greater than last year. The dan- ger is at hand.” He pointed out that after the eggs hatch, the grasshoppers do not sprout wings for about two weeks and stay on the hatching grounds that length of time. “If anything is done at all it must be done immediately after the hatch- ing period,” Larrimer said. Livestock Expert To Be Here Tuesday George Baker, livestock experi from the state agricultural college. will be in Burleigh county Tuesday and Wednesday in the interest of the extension department's purebred sire campaign. He and H. O. Putnam, county agri- cultural agent, will visit many farm- ers in the county.

PARAMOUNT THEATRE | What young film star is fast-mov- |ing enough to need a racing car as a starring “vehicle"? Why, James Cag- ney, of course! “Taxi” wasn't hig powered enough for him—now you'll see him as the terror of the speedways in “The Crowd Roars.” Made to order for Cagney’s talents, | “The Crowd Roars” is the story of a daredevil driver who lives a hectic life both on and off the track, yet hopes to keep his adoring younger brother from following in his steps, As you! might expect, Mr. Cagney’s actions | and he is none too successful as a cen- sor of youthful morals. Stubborn inj his attempts to direct other folks’ lives, he ends by breaking with the girl he loves and. finally with his brother. Half-crazed with anger af- ter the break, Cagney ‘drives in a race, wrecks the car of his best friend and kills him. After this accident—a breath-taking scene on the screen— Cagney's career seems over. Even his iron nerve is gone, and he finds him- self unable to ‘secure even a me- chanic’s job. Here, however, is a hero who may be down but never out. It would be telling too much to say just how the comeback is managed, but the happy ending gives Cagney one more break on the Indianapolis Speedway, scene of his former triumphs. And for Mr. Cagney, just one break is enough. Cagney’s acting and the original story are two good reasons for seeing “The Crowd Roars.” Another big in- ducement is the fact that a dozen famous racing drivers helped make the speedway scenes, and filled them with nerve-wracking thrills. “The Crowd Roars” comes to the }Heinlein, inside sentinel; and L.
