By the Associated Press. OTTAWA, January 4.—Lighter rain- fall, reduced crops, better radio recep- tion, greater danger from forest fires, fewer electrical storms, increased fur production—these are some of the pos- sibilities suggested by an astronomer for this year. Dr. Ralph E. Delury of the Dominion Observatory looks for a lessening of the sun’s ultra-violet rays. While hesitating to make definite predictions on account of the vagaries of the sun's activities, investigation leads him to believe 1930 will see a re- duction of rainfall with the many re- sults that entails. All forms of electrical transmission improve when ultra-violet rays are weak. Static is lessened and radio reception is favorably affected. The aurora bore- alis, which obstructs long-distance tele- graphic communication, becomes infre- uent. o Delury's expectation of a bumper wheat crop in 1928 at the sun spot peak was followed by the greatest production of any year in Canadian history.

The board of county supervisors can, however, when they deem necessary, amend any portion of the ordinance afier having given pub- lic notice of the contemplated change. The ordinance will become effecttive after the final public hearing that is required by the supervisors and after legal publication. The zoning commission, which has now about completed ith work, consists of Fred A. Gosnell, chairman: A. J | Webb, secretary; Robert H. Forman, ' Maj. W. R. Richards and J. E. Spauld- | ing. While County Directing Engineer C. L.

Ray, a member of the commit- lee who protested the ruling, drafted and read the resolution. Several thou- sand persons were present. “1 am not seeking to organize an in- dependent party,” Hefin sald. “As a Democrat I am asking the committee to meet and rescind its action. If it does not we will have a chance to fight it out at the polls.” Hugh A. Locke, who has announced for governor, expressed views similar to those voiced by Heflin. Both Locke and Heflin supported Herbert Hoover in the 1928 general election. Locke attacked the action of the undemocratic. “Twenty-seven members of the com- mittee have determined that all offices shall be filled with simon pure Al Smithites,” he sald. “They set up Al Smith as the qualification for officers In_Alabama for the next four years.” While fixing qualifications for candi- dates the State committee at the same time invited all Democrats who would pledge themselves to support the party nominees in the future to take part as voters in the August primary. Heflin asserted that by the terms of the ruling of the executive committee “‘every priest and Catholic in the State can vote or be a candidate while good Protestants are disfranchised.” He said “Althouugh large votes were polled in Alabama by Harding and Coolidge no efforts were made by the committee to discjpline those bolters.” “Alabama would have gone into the Republican column in 1928,” he sald, “if we had received a fair count.” The Democratic presidential ticket carried Alabama in 1928 by 7,000 votes, as compared with a margin of nearly 68,000 in 1924, Policemen Seize Robbers and Loot In Leaving Jobs Service From Which Chi- cagoans Are Discharged Finished in Glory.
