And indeed the New Deal rode high President Hoover carried Miine in 1932 by 37,324 votes. Some two months prior to that Louis Brann, Democrat, was elected Governor by a meager major- ity of 2,358 votes. Two out of three Congressional districts elected Democrats to replace Republicans by majorities slightly less than of Mr. Brann. This| was hailed by the country as an indication of a national landslide for the Democrats in November. The augury proved to be correct to the last detail, although Maine itself gave its electoral vote to Mr. Hoover. Maine is normally Republican by something like 50,000 votes. Monday Gov. Brann was re-elected by & majority of 34,000 votes. Two out of three of the Congressional districts went Democratic again, in- cluding the First District where a newcomer to politics defeated Carroll Beedy, Republican, who had represented it in Congress since 1920. Frederick Hale, for 18 years Senator from Maine and one of | the senior Republicans in the upper Chamber, nar- rowly escaped defeat, emerging from the fight with & scant 1,000 majority. The campaign was hotly contested. The Repub- Hean National Committee sent its best speakers into the battle. It called on former Democrats like Bainbridge Colby, Secretary of State under President Wilson and a noted Progressive, to combat the rising tide. It had plenty of money, and spent it for the campaign. The results speak for themselves. Democratic National Chairman Farley is amply justified in declaring: “It is ample proof that the Wew Deal meets the approval of the majority of the people of the countrys” That is the real conclusion to be drawn from Maine’s election. The voters of Maine have demonstrated by their action that they have confidence in President Roosevelt and are willing to back him in working out his program. Maine has for a great many years been used as a political barometer for the rest of the country. It has proved to be accurate. Based on the Maine returns, the Democratic Party' next November will return to Congress in as dominant a position as it was in the Seventy-third Congress. The Roosevelt tide is mounting, not ebbing. California’s recent primaries, Democratic ticket, was a strong indication of that fact. Maine's election proved it conclusively. WAR WEAPONS ADAPTABLE FOR EXPLORING THE AIR. ‘The Big Berthas of World War fame hold promise as valuable peacetime weapons for scientists inter- ested in upper air exploration. These enormous guns, which nearly 20 years ago bombarded Paris with death-dealing projectiles, might just as readily bombard the mysterious upper regions of the at- mosphere with devices for bfinging back to earth samples of air and indications of how the winds blow at very high elevations, in the opinion of meteorologists of the Weather Bureau. which showed a majority voting mej palloohs, or airplanes have cleared up much of | the mystery of the lower air—the so-called “tropo- | sphere”—and of the lower levels of the stratosphere. | just abcve the troposhere.

Air movements in the |other hand, are believed to be generally horizontal. {As air mass movements are responsible for our weather and as the movements in the Jower levels |are affected by those at upper levels, definite information on what happening at thése heights would be of great value in forecasting.

Biologically this layer is of trmendous importance because it absorbs solar rays that would destroy life on the earth if permitted to penetrate that far. This absorption of radiant energy is believed, though not proved, to raise the temperature 50 degrees or more above that on the earth in summer. The composition of gases in the stratosphere also has an important bearing on life on the earth. Meteorologists long believed that the heavier gases, such as nitrogen and oxygen, tended to sink, leaving the lighter gases, like hydrogen and helium, above. More recently, however, they have reached the con- clusion that nitrogen and. oxygen are present at great heights and hyrogen and helium in only| minute amounts in the upper atmosphere. Further cbservations in the upper stories of the air are nece: y for the physical proof of this theory. | Recording instruments carried aloft. dn Kites, | the trepesphere show that air and dissipation of stratosphere, on the Seems as if Mr. Hoover was wrong about grass| growing in the city streets.

Business and the Codes. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) The spirit of the New Deal as exemplified in NRA codes of fair competition has, perhaps, not been expressed more succinctly anywhere than in the current bulletin of the National Automobile Dealers’ Association. 1 Under the caption “The President Gave You His | Hand” this journal discusses the obligations en- tered into by members of the automobile retalling code when they pledged their compliance with the code which Mr. Rcosevelt approved last October. “The code,” said the bulletin, in words which |have equal application to every one of the 500 {codes now in operation, “did net guarantee to supply profits automatically nor to bring business to your door without any effort on your part. The code did grant you an opportumity. - Just“that and! nothing more.” | The codes, after all, mark a new era in co-| operation between the Federal Government and American business. Each must perform its proper function within its own sphere and both must unite {in common economic cause under the codes. The Blue Eagle is the symbol of this new co-operation. An instance of NRA's spirit of co-operation is| found in the issuance by General Johnson of an administrative order under signature of May 15 last, clarifying the applica- tion of code and President’s reemployment agree- ments by the partial suspension of certain provisions in designated codes and industries engaged ox- clu.slvely in local trade or service in towns of 2500 or less population. In dealing with this problem, the trades and industries in such towns were relieved of provisions that were onerous and worked a hardship.on both | business and the public, while provisions of commonE benefit to all have been retained. In that spirit | and with the objective of administering all codes of fair competition to the end that the interests of both business and the public may be safeguarded, NRA will plot its future course. | Seven hours after the President's visit Minnesota and North Dakota got the first heavy rain in {months. And there are still some people in this: country who want Hoover back!—(New York Sun.) | e Broadly speaking, the mosquitoes have this great advantage over the young romantics. They can enjoy the summer moonlight, too, and get a good, hearty meal at the same time.—(Boston Herald.)
