YEAR'S WEATHER BREAKS RECORDS Coldest Winter, Hottest Summer, Worst Floods Are Reported. By the Associated Press. A dizzying succession of phenomenal | weather—most of it bad—has msde the past 12 months one of the most | remarkable periods on the Weather | Bureau's books. In one part of the country or an- other weather men have recorded the coldest Winter—the hottest Summer— the worst floods—the most devastating duststorms and the most severe tor-| nadoes and hurricanes in history. The Central and Eastern portions of the country recorded the extremes in | low temreratures during the Winter | of 1935-36. “At Devils Lake, N. Dak.” bureau officials said, “there was established a | Winter-temperature record that prob- | ebly has no parallel in the weather | bistory of this country for first- order Weather Bureau station. The temperature went below freezing on November 27 and did not rise to the| reezing point until March 1, a period of 96 days.” Average 13 Degrees Below Zero. The average temperature for Janu- | ary and February at Devils Lake was | 13 degrees below zeco. ‘ It is in this same region where rec- ord heat is now being recorded. With- | in the past week, a report of 112 de-| grees was received from Devils Lake. ! Kennebec, S. Dak., reported a maxi- | mum of 119 degrees. Temperatures in the Dakotas have ranged around and over 100 degrecsw for more than a week. \ Record snows fell in the Northern | and Central portions of the country, | and in the Far West, during the Win- | ter. In March a rainstorm moved into the East from the South, whereupon | Eastern rivers went on a rampage, es: tablishing records along the Atlanti seaboard and bringing about the worst | flood in history in the upper Ohio Val ley. Unofficial estimates said 170 pe: sons drowned in the March floods. Floods also struck Texas during May | and June, causing widespread damage. Duststorms Reported. Bad duststorms on the Northern Great Plains two years ago moved into the Southwest ‘“‘dust bo where earlier this year disastrous winds blew away the topsoil. However, rains in Tecent weeks brought relief to the dry Bouthwestern area. Heavy loss of life occurred Septem- ber 2 when a hurricane swept across the Florida Keys, and two other hur- | ricanes affected Southern Florida last | month. At the time of the worst tropi- cal storm the bureau obtained a sea- | level barometer reading of 26.35 inches, *“the lowest of record in the Western Hemisphere.” The bureau reported 179 tornadoes in 1935, compared to 147 for 1934. And during the week ending April 8, 1936, “some of the most destructive torna- | does of record occurred in parts of the Southeast, especially at Tupelo, Miss., and Athens, Ga.” - e Flowers Cause Art Ban. Because several forcign-made art objects contained decorative motifs which resembled the Japanese im-| perial crest, they were ordered with- drawn by the police from an exhibi- tion in Nihonbashi, Japan. The design is reported to be similar to the chry- santhemum which appears on the/ crest. Included were an Italian cake tray, a French stein, a set of hair or- naments and a Japanese ink set. The owners of the objects and interested | Japanese were summoned to the police station and compelled to sign an ab- Ject apol | Game Over 9, By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, July 9—Maryland fish and game officials have made arrangements to co-operate with the Federal Government in increasing wild life on the 9,800 acres of the Catoctin recreational area, State Game Warden E. Lee Lecompte said today. Lecompte and Frank Bents, chief clerk of the conservation commission, returned to their offices from a trip | into the area near Frederick. W. P. A. workers are busy in the area under the directicn of the Re- settlement Administration, Lecompte | said. To Build Six Pools. The Federal officials, he explained, agreed to build six circular fish pools in the area, each 20 feet in diame- ter. The State will use these as nurs- ery pools, raising fish until they are big enough to transplant into other streams in Frederick and Washington County. ' The fish, all fresh-water game species, will be reared from | young ones supplied by the State hatcheries. Lecompte said that the circular pools are an innovation in fish cul- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, State and U. S. to Nurture 800-Acre Tract ture. Some smaller ones, 12 feet in diameter, were built by the W. P. A. at the Lewiston hatchery. They were so successful, he sald, that the de- cision was made to build larger ones. ‘Water runs into a pool from an overhead pipe and the shape of the pool causes it to circulate. These conditions stimulate the natural con- ditions under which native fish grow. Underbrush Is Kept. In clearing the wooded sections of t-e area and cutting timber, the Fed- eral workers agreed not to destro- the underbrush, which provides shel- ter for game, Lecompte said. Wild fruit, such as grapes, dewberries and | blackberries, will be taken from sec- tions where they are plentiful and transplanted in other sections to| provide food for birds. In open areas wild grains will be planted to pro- vide bird food through the Winter. Lecompte announced about 120 persons camped in the area over the Fourth of July, even though it is| not yet officially opened. , He said game was plentiful, not, only in the area, but throughou® Western Maryland.

Lecompte said the breeding season 50 far had been good and that the supply of wild fruit was unusually abundant, promising that much of the young game would attain ma- turity. o North China is increasing its acre- age planted in “cotton. —_— Strikes have greatly injured busi- ness in Spain this year. JAPAN TO PROTEST SINO-GERMAN PACT Trade Agreement Involving Mu- nitions Is Held Violation of Versailles Treaty. By the Astociatea Press. TOKIO, July 9.—Leading native newspapers declared today the Jap- anese government is preparing to protest vigorously to Germany against JULY 9, 1936. the recently signed Sino-German trade agreement. A foreign office spokesman, however, asserted Tokio would not act until it was in possession of official informa- tion on the accord. (The Domei-Japanese News Agency reported June 27 that Germany would supply munitions and machinery to China worth $30,000,000 and in ex- change would purchase Chinese tungsten, ofl, peanuts and other arti- cles.) The nature of the agreement is lacking, it was stated, although Tokio officials hoped Berlin would reveal A—7 . the details. The spokesman declined | years James E.
