Thus the contrast between the weather of the North outh s inishing and the climate of the sountry as a whole rating. 1t has been widely held that clim=te is a fixed qua and that if a long enough period of observation, say 30, 50 or 100 we can aver- ge out the vagari the weather and determine the real climatic con- stant. That idea has 1 rise to another widely held view, which is that, if the temperature or the rain- fall, for exampie, is above normal for a few years, then later it will be as much below normal; so that, in the course of time, the same average con- dition prevails These ideas are being abandoned by advanced students of the weather, who hold that climate as well as weather is in a continuous stage of change, Thirty, fifty or one hundred year averages have no meaning as in- dicating any fixed normal above and below which the temperature may oscillate but will again return to the same level. The investigations of A. Douglass, Gerard De Greer, Ells- worth Huntington and others have proved that climate, like weather, or like the tides, is in a continuous proc- ess of ebb and flow, and hundreds or even thousands of years may in- tervene before the same condition re- turns. “Al Other Sharp Changes. In intervals of time measured by many thousands of vears the climate of a place like New England may change from a condition where ice covers the land surfaces to a depth of thousands of feet to conditions so mild as to be almost tropical Even in the course of several cen- turies the climate of New Engiand may oscillate between cold conditions similar to those of Labrador and mild conditions similar to those which pre- vail on the coast of Virginia at present. Regular observations of the tem- perature at Boston and at New Haven extends back almost to colonial times, The observations at New Haven in 1778 and in Boston in 1790. The two of records run almost parallel. mean annual temperature of the past 50 years of observations is ma- terially higher than those of the first 50 vears. The coldest periods record- €d were from 1782 to 1792, and from 1812 to 1823. Since then the trend of the temperature has been upward. The mean temperature of the 10 years ending with 1925 is two and six-tenths warmer than the mean oi the 10 years ending with 1921. If January and July are considered separately, it is found that the mean of the past 10 Januaries has averaged 4 degrees warmer than the mean of the 10 from 1812 to 1821, and the mean of the past 10 Julys has aver- aged 1.7 degrees warmer. This progressive rise of tempera- ture is indicated by observations taken all over the Northern part of the United States. In St. Paul, Minn., the temperature of the decade ending with 1925 averages 2.8 degrees warmer than that of the first decade of ob- servation from 1859 to 1868. Canadian Gain Greater. In Canada the rise has heen even more pronounced. At Winnipeg for the 10 years ending with 1925 the average yearly temperature is 4 de- grees higher than that of the first 10 pave | res Are Offered. vears of observation ending with 1884. The rise at other Canadlan stations, like Port Arthur and Dawson, is even {greater. In Alaska the period covered | by the observations is comparatively ! short, but even these show a’ progres- | sive advance in the mean tempera- ture taken In 10-year averages. But the existence of milder conditions in Alaska is best told by the retreat of the glaciers ever since they were first observed his climatic change is all the more remarkable because in the southern part of the United States the trend is the other way. At Charleston, S. C., the mean temperature of the 10 vears ending with 1920 is nearly 2 degrees colder than that of the first 10 yvears of observation from 1823 to 1832, and there has been a distinct trend downward. At San Diego, Il‘ulh’, at El Paso, Tex., and at Key West, Fla., the trends are also down- «e facts indicate that the con- 1 temperature between the «rn States and the Southern is i aishing. | Will this continue with backward | ebbs and fows like an incoming tide until we are ushered into the mild temperature of an intergl al period? Or are we now on the crest of some »d from which there will Questions Unanswerable. No one at present can answer these questions, but one thing seems cer- tain, since we are now in_a long swing of milder years in the Northern United States and Canada, we can be reasonably sure that there will not be a return of the cold Winters and cool Summers which characterized the years around 1816, although it is quite possible that the temperature of the coming Winter or coming Summer may be below the mean of the past 10 years. But_even the temperature of the vear 1816, which has been called a vear without a_Summer, was not so low as one might be led to Infer from this description. The Winter was cold, but_not colder than many sub- sequent Winters, and the mean tem- perature of July of that year in New Haven was 65.8 degrees, which ma: be compared with 67.0 in 1891 and 68.8 degrees in 1914. An pect of cold Winters and hot Summers_which is rarely considered is that, if it Is extremely cold or ex- tremely warm In one part of the United States, it is likely to be the opposite in some other part. If the Winter is extremely cold in the At- lantic Coast States, it is likely to be mild in the Pacific Coast States. If it is extremely cold in Canada and the northern part of the United States, it is likely to be warm in the extreme South. In general it is safe to predict a cold Winter or a warm Winter every Winter for the United States, because it is almost sure to be warm or cold as predicted in some region or the other. Layman's Estimate Off. The progressive slaw changes of climate described here must not, how- ever, be confused with the rapid changes in which many of our older itizens believe. Occasionally one even hears a man in middle life say: “We do not have such weather or such snows now as occurred when I was a boy.” Most of such opinions are to be ascribed to the changing condition of the person or his en- vironment; rather than to changes of climate. A man remembers that there were occasional snows up to his waist when he was a boy, while now there is rarely ever a snowfall that reaches to his knees: but he for- gets that in the meantime he has grown twice as tall as when he was a boy. Moreover, the great increase in the capacity of the public to handle snow {s forgotten. The roads and sidewalks are now clear where for- merly it was necessary to break bodily through the snow drifts. Again one i3 at a more impressionable age when he is young and the world is new, so that striking weather con- ditions leave a more lasting effect on the memory. All these considerations need to weighed when discussing changes climate, and it is better to trust written records or to the records the stratified clays and rocks than human memory. of BILL FOR INJUNCTION IN STATE SUIT DISMISSED Wife's Plea in Federal Court to Stop Husband’s Action in Virginia Not Granted. Expressing the opinion that under a provision of the Judicial Code which forbids a United States Court to stay proceedings in a State Court the Su- preme Court of the District of Colum- bia could not enjoin a pending suit for divorce in the courts of Alexan- dria, Chlef Justice McCoy yesterday entered an order dismissing the bill for injunction filed in the local court by Pearl D. Newton against her hus- band, Brooks R. Newton. The Newtons formerly resided in Arlington Count; a., and following separation Mrs. Newton instituted a suit for limited divorce in this city and Newton countered with a_ suit in the State of Virginia, each charging the other with desertion. The wife then sought by injunction to prevent the hushand from proceeding with the Virginia suft, alleging that he falsely claimed residence in that jurisdiction. The Chief Justice in a memorandum opinion stated that he was not satis- fled that the proceeding in Virginia was not in good faith and that he would not grant the injunction even if he had the power to do so. At- torneys H. P. Long and W. C. Ash- ford appeared for the husband in op- position to the injunction.

SCORES GETTING RICH. “Mug’s Game,” Jerome K. Jerome Declares to Boys. LONDON, December 19 (#).—Je- rome K. Jerome, author of “Three Men in a Boat,” told an audience of boys of the Marylebone Grammar | School today that getting rich is a “mug’s game.” Mr. Jerome’s subject was how to make the best of life. He warned the boys against devot- ing their lives to acquisition of riches “Most of the things worth having books, music, scenery, sport, a holiday with a knapsack on your back, friend- ship, love—are to be had for little or no expenditure of money,” he said.

Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago Daily News. LONDON, England.—American labor problems are of the utmost importance in shaping British labor policy, ac- cording to Frank Hodges, secretary of the International Miners' Associa- tion, In an interview with a repre- sentative of the Chicago Daily News. “British trade unlonism must look to American trade unfonism not only for its practical demonstration of economic power,” sald Mr. Hodges, “but for guidance in the industrial crisis of the next decade.” As a 6-year-old boy Hodges entered a colllery to work for his living. He was awarded an Oxford scholarship later at the labor college and after graduation be came a powerful labor prophet. He has represented the min- ers in dozens of important disputes. He was civil lord of the admiralty in the MacDonald government. Mr. Hodges outlined half a dozen ways in which, in his opinion, Ameri- gan trade unins can teach the Eng- sh. Approves Non-Political Policy. irst of all” he said, "I think the Americans have done well to avold ac- tive intervention in politics. That pol- lcy has cost them only doubtful bene- fits, while beyond doubt it has gained them their extraordinarily powerful organization devoted exclusively to economic problems. “We here in England, even in our trade unions, live for politics. What has it gained us? Nothing. “American trade unlons have gained an incalculable advantage over us by their system of labor banking. We have no financial authority or Independence here. American labor as. “I think American trade unions are to some degree responsible for the generally excellent co-operation be- tween labor and employers. In that co-operation Americans have a happy advantage over us. We are miles from achieving it. “We have something to learn from American labor in the matter of trade unfon journalism. We certainly have something to learn from the Amer- ican system whereby workers buy £oods marked with the trade unfon stamp. ~ “IFinally, I admire American trade unionism for its control of industrial workshops and its general struggle for high wages.” Believes in High Wages. Mr. Hodges' views, as summarized here, are somewhat unconventional Most English labor leaders feel they have the most powerful trade union organization in the world and that America is hopelessly backward. _Mr. Hodges went on to say that, in his oplnion, American labor organiza- tion was the real cause of present American prosperit: “I am a high-wage prophet,” he “I preach high wages here, not v from the point of view of labor, but from that of good business. 1am convinced that the maintenance of high wages by trade unions in Amer- ica is a bedrock reason for American business prosperity. I am convinced that the same thing should be true here. But 1t {sn’t. And it's our own fault and our own funeral.” Mr. Hodges takes a reasonable view of the impending English coal crisis, which will come to a head next Spring when the present government sulsidy to the coal industry expires No Chance of Revolution. “I don’t think there will be any row,” he said. “I don't think there will be any general strike. And I know there will be no revolution.” He added that the scaremongers who are busy keeping up the ques- tion “Is England done? and the pessimists who feel that sure a gen- ef:.\l strike is coming next Spring are highly dangerous to the peace of the countr; “They do all of us active injus- tice” he said. “by attempting to create a psychology of inevitability Business may slacken as a resulr Many people are already hopeless That sort of defeatism is the worst kind of madness. We should face the issue and fight it.” Concluding, Mr. Hodges sald it would be-the business of his miners as well as of the government to ac- cept the coal commissioners’ verdict, apply sound remedies If the recom- mendations are technically correct and then wait till the government puts them into effective operation. “Iam opposed to the subsidy,” said Mr. Hodges, “but I am infinitely more opposed to revolution.” (Copyright, 1925, by Chicago Dafly News Os.)

Clemenceau Declares Cough Caused By Bullet “Gallivanting Around” conversation, said that the old states- man was more depressed than he had ever seen him before. “Well, T suppose we all get old,” M. Clemenceau continued, and we all die. To die from the effects of a bul- let or from a cold matters little and I won't argue with the doctors about it. They may have their own way about it.” M. Clemenceau, however, has de- cided to cancel his trip to_his sea- side cottage in January. He feels that the doctors are right for once when they tell him that the wind- swept shores at St. Vincent du Jard in La Vendee are not as comfortable as his little Paris house in the Rue Franklin. He will go to La Vendee in the Spring. . DECEMBER 20, 1925—PART 1 WOMAN LIVE WIRE IN DANISH CABINET Nina Bang Seems Most Re- sourceful Member of Labor Ministry. Correspondence of the Assoclated Press. COPENHAGEN,—Here in Den- mark they say Nina Bang, the first woman member of a Danish cabinet, i3 the “best man in the whole stats. raadet,” or ministry. Whenever con- versation turns upon prominent wom- en of the land her name springs spontaneously to the lips of every Dane. The widow of a well known writer on economics, and herself a learned writer on the same subject, Mme. Bang sprang into prominence as a forceful administrator upon her ap- pointment as minister of education in the present Labor government. Author of Standard Work. As the author of a standard work, “The History of Sound Dues" (taxa- tion), published with the financial sup- port of several foreign governments, she already had established her repu- tation as a scholar., Today she is more debated than any other Danish woman. She is praised and caricatured to such an extent that she has become almost a myth. Her first ministerial act was the.re- organization of the Danish State The- ater, which enjoys an annual subsidy of about $250,000. Too many cooks were spoiling the state dramatic broth, she thought, so with a single pen stroke she dismissed six managers, in- cluding the titular head of the theater, a king's chamberlain and a belted earl, whom the woman minister character- ized as a “rudiment of the days of autocracy.” The reform of the national stage was an acknowledged success. Success in Reform. Her daring in dealing with the aristocratic earl was characteristic of the woman, and she tackled other re- forms with equal succese. Always independent in thought and action, Mme. Bang has been in the center of the public spotlight by her steadfast refusal to stund in the pres- ence of King Christian or while the Danish anthem “King Christian Stood by Lofty Mast, is being played. Longfellow_turned the words of this song into English verse. This aettitude has turned the ad miration of many Danes to solid hatred of “Our Lady of Denmark,” as she is called derisively by her op- ponents. Others of the public, how. ever, have rallied to her and praised the republican refusal to respect a song that “glories in the gory lust of braining respectable neighbors.” as the minister of education herself de- scribes the anthem. The Chinese national tariff law will go into effect January 1, 1929.

Barring of the December issue of the Virginia Reel, University of Vir- ginia student humorous publication, from the malils by postal authorities of Lynchburg, Va., where it is printed, was upheld yesterday by Post Offico authorities here. Horuce J. Donnelly, solicitor of the depart- ment, said textual matter in the pub- Weation fully warranted the action. Difference of opinion as to the ethical significance of some of the contents extends from Lynchburg to the Potomac. Although Postmaster J. M. B. Lewis of Lynchburg main- tains that the stuff is not suitable for Indiscriminate dissemination, Acting ©City Manager Hart and Chief of Po- lice Smith took a more tolerant view, holding that “an active imagination might find stimulation.” Court ac tion is said to have been contemplated in_Lynchburg. Meanwhile Eugene P. Warner of Cleveland, editor of the issue, has ar- rived in Washington, in none too pleasant a humor. He declares that he 1l the managing editor, James B.

The other day, while we were away from the university, the board got together, kicked us out, and elected new editors. “When we got back,” he continued, “we demanded a new election—and got it. The result was we were kicked out all over again.” ‘Warner declared that he and Aswell were contemplating the establishment of another publication along the lines of the Reel “—if the authorities ap- prove, of course,” he added hastily. Warner denied there was anything in the issue that could offend. “It all depends on how you look at it,” he said.

This action was taken by the managing board in response to a practically unanimous condemnation on the part of the student body on that kind of publication. As soon as possible after the matter was brought to the attention of the president and administrative council—that is to say, on December 14—the council adopted the following resolutions: “That the administrative council disapproves of the December number of the Virginia Reel and of the re- cent tendency of this publication toward inserting salacious matter in its columns. That those responsible for this periodical be forbidden to publish any further issue cf the Virginia Reel un. til they shall have given this council acceptable guarantees that such ob- jectionable matter shall hereafter be excluded from its columns. and substance of such guarantee: shall be prepared and submitted by the editorial board.’' " The Reason. 1 the Boston Transeript There goes a woman whose hair turned white in a single night.’ yme great sorrow No. She stopped dyeing it."
