[ EFORTS RENEVED TOFINDLOST HEN Family of Brothers Last Seen in Glacier Park Be- lieve Them Prisoners. By the Associated Pres CHICAGO, March 14—The family of Joseph and Willlam Whitehead, who disappeared in Glacier National Park last Summer, have sent out 250,000 posters, renewing the hunt |that slackened when the great park ‘was combed without trace of the two brothers. “If they are alive they are held prisoners; they would never stay away from us of thelr own wiiL” the mother and sister declared today in idenying rumors from Montana that the boys may have gone away with & trapper to his lonely mountain home for the Winter to cause a sensation by _their disappearance. William, 22, the younger, had an- other year befors graduation’ at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and had bought a round trip ticket to the park from Boston last June. He stopped over here, where his brother, Joseph, 29, who had a $400-a- month position, joined him on a vaca- tlon trip to the park. They were last heard from on August 23. Montanans Believe Men Dend. GREAT FALLS, Mont., March 14.- Willlam and Joseph Whitehead of Chicago, last seen in the mountains of Glacler Park, August 23, are belleved 1o have become lost in the mountains or fallen down a crevasse in a slacter The size of the park and the rough- ness of the landscape, it was pointed Gut, is such that the bodies might lie at the base of a cliff or crevasse for vears befgre being discovered.

American youth { mutual erstanding and fraternity of spirit which marked theélr reli- tions during the war. Five of the appointments are new while a sixth is renewed to John S. !Cromelin_of Chicago, who formerly was in France as the holder of fellowship in 1923-24. Amdng the new awards were those given to Raoul M. May of San Francisco and James R. Ware of Bethlehem, Pa Among _fellowships renewed are those to Willlam M. Gwynn of Los Angeles, James B.

WASHINGTON, D. ¢ COOL SUMMER HERE PREDICTED BY LONG-DISTANCE FORECASTER Next Year and 1927 to Have Crop Failures From Cold. =X Temperatures of Ocean Used by New Weather Observer. The key to weather forecasting years in advance and to a stage of 95 per cent accuracy, has been found by a Washington man in the heat of the sun and the waters of the oceans. Herbert Janvrin Browne, @ news- paper writer and editor in this City for nearly 20 years, now turns out from his residence and office at 1214 L street predictions on future weather conditions on which some of the leading Industries and businesses of the country gauge their method of procedure. While he holds almost a 100 per cent record for accuracy in the two years he has been actively engaged in long range forecasting, and has built up a clientele among the in- dustries, Mr. Browne does not find complete unanimity upon his theories and practices among metereologis Works Along New Lines. Mr. Browne asserts his work ls entirély new and different from other known means of forecasting and that the atmospheric metereologists em- ploy a telegraph line to beat a storm Into any glven point. He, however, dares to proclaim the weather for the world 365 days in advance. Lead- ing scientific and trade publications have told their readers that Mr. Browne's results are not based on “luck.” Mr. Browne is an ocean metereol- ogist. The oceans cover five-sixths of the earth’s surface. They supply the moisture for the earth which the winds carry inland and deposit. The winds are either warm or cold and the temperature inland is affected accordingly. Without the aid, however, of a valuable working base in the heat of the sun, data upon which is sup- plied by the astrophysical observa- tory of the Smithsonian Institution under Dr. C. G. Abbott and a corps of highly trained assistants, the future would not be as clear to Mr. Browne | The other fact, Mr. Browne works | with is the temperature of the ocean | waters, which is affected by the heat | of the sun. Once he knows the de- grec of heat or cold of these waters | ie bases his prediction on the move- | ment of the winds from them and | knows whether the winds are laden with moisture or are cold and will produce little rain Sun’s Rays Cooler Now.

Giving a ‘concrete example of the foregoing brief theory, Mr. Browne selects the Atlantic Ocean during the normal line—1918 to 1922.

The increased flow of the northern @rm of the Gulf stream and then fur- ther heat expansion of Arctic waters, neeessarily forced out an equivalent quantity of cold water, which moved South and in a large part found its expansion In the cold-water area around the Azores. But the South- ern arm of the Gulf stream seeking in large volume its return to sub- tropical latitudes, in its turn had the effect of pushing the expansion of the Azorean area by the year 1922 several hundred miles south and west. Around the Azores the winds rotate clockwise, blowing warm winds and molsture into the direction of Spain and the United States. This accounts for the fact that the aver- age temperature of the United States was over three degrees above the normal Mr. Browne has a prediction which | he has stood by for the past several months that the years 1926 and 1927 will be without Summers and will correspond to the Summerless vear of 1516. In this period, he predicts, crops will fail and droughts will oc- cur throughout the United States, and the country will be on the verge, If not in the throes, of famine. He ex- plains this by pointing to the decreas- ing volume of heat from the sun The Gulf stream will not be able to hold its perenntal warmth and will sink. Cold waters will be where there was a mixture and a contact which sent off warm winds with molsture. What winds will come in from the ocean will have to deposit MEYER’S S man.

By. & system of obtaining ocean temperatures in the Atlantic in vir- tually every latitude and comparing them with 60-year averages which he has from British compilation, it is a simple matter of figuring the result- ing action of winds from the condi- tion of the water. ‘At present Mr. Browne would not attempt to say what the condition of the weather would be in Washington Ap#l 20, 1927, but he can tell in gen- eral terms just what will occur in this rexion at that time.

In January, 1924, Mr. Browne wrote an article for a leading agricultural magazine giving the forecast for 1924 he had prepared in October, 1923. Up to the time the article appeared 23 tained, the magazine said. Mr. Browne believes when measurements of the sun's radiatfon are more accurate than they are now and the data of ocean temperatures it may be possible to foretell weathe in general terms for as many as fiv. years or more. Beyond a doubt “we are now in a position to foretell it in a broad way for two or three years." & DENIES |ND|AN7IN0UIRY. Oklahoma Attorney General Says No Death Probe Conducted.

Discussing the failure to provide the full quota, Admiral Shoemaker, in hie letter to the Navy, says “there are many contributory reasons for this, and the bureau is reluctantly forced to the cortlusion that a too frequent fault may be found in a general lack of interest on the part of the commissioned officers. It is the duty ot ~ommandants and com- manding officers to assist the bureau in carrying out its policy and to as- sure themselves that every detall in the bureau's instructions s carefully observed. “Experience has shown that off- | cers have not taken the necessary steps to Inform themselves fully of the bureau's Instructions.
