It is really more fun to do your shopping at the last hour. To catch the spirit of the merry crowd, to get your corns stepped on, and not to mind the ache; to spend dollars in a whirl of lights and noise and moving crowds. But that is selfish pleasure, and the epirit of Christmas ts to give rather than to recelva And the graceful, efficient giver will shop early, when he can get what he wants and take plenty of time to It. ‘ And tho it is some weeks to Christmas, I find that in many Unes stocks are already exhausted, and that people generally seem to be buying earlier, and buying _ More, than ever before. Which may suggest something to you last-hour shoppers, I trust. cee my ND, speaking of buying things, there are a lot of folke buying $4 silk stockings who would better be buying thrift stamps at $4.23 ‘Three months from now the silk stockings will be nothing but Fags. bat the thrift stamp will be ada the $4.23 and some cents ‘The bank teller tells me that "the sale of thrift stamps has fallen off and fallen off, until hardly anybody seeks to buy any these And it fy not because of strikes and jobless families, either. be- cause the professional men and the business men who, a few months ago, purchased thrift stamps as a part of the saving routine, have stopped.

If the world ts likely to come to an end in a week or s0, most of us would like to change a few details of our personal programs. To allay any fears, and to potnt out how this report started, why it started, who started it, * and what the real scientifie truth is, The Star publishes an author. lard statement from the scientist, about whom the entire contro. versy revolves. Albert F. Porta, sunspot fore caster, is the man who, last March, foretold certain unusual events for this month, a forecast which, by July, had gained gen- eral circulation. If Porta’s forecast ts fulfilled im any material respect, it will introduce an entirely new method of foreenating weather condi tions, and instead of forecasting the weather for 44 hours ahead, it will be foretold six months, nine months, a year in advance. That is really the important thing about this forecast, but ft hae been obscured by much fake Feport, ally rumor and baseloas own! p. The myntery of the weather will be largely solved, ff Porta’s forecast hits the mark; that’s the big thing to remember. Another big thing is that he ts not forecasting chaos, cataclysm, the millennium, or the destruc tion of the world. His Real Prediction Because of the sun spots and the conjunction of several planets, Professor Porta, months ago, foretold the following for December 1—PRELIMINARY PERIOD Storm will start off Pacific coast December 5; fairty violent. Still more violent storm to begin December 12, climax on 16th.

This is the storm which Professor Porta says will co down into history as “one of the greatest on record for the Pacific coast.” Europe will be affected, says Porta, by this storm, combined with another large storm formed near Iceland, which will strike the coast of Europe January 3 to 10, and the Mediterranean January 11-12 Farthquakes for the “earthquake belts,” cember 16-20, severe; Dec very severe; December 28-21 vere; January 1-5, very severe; January 14-22, very violent; Jan wary 26-31, scattering. The forecast calls for very severe volcanic eruptions December 18 24, in some of the regular vol canoes; lees severe ones Decem ber 27-31; very violent January 2-46, also January 1421, and lesser ones January 25-41, Eruptions in the fret two January periods, says Porta, sbould be the most severe on record for volcanoes in Italy ur Greece, and Japan, Java, Alaska, California, Hawali and Central America. 3.—CONCLUDING PERIOD Lenser with warm wey: coast January 2-3, (very severe); 26-31, Seattle being out of the earth quake and volcanic none, and the Pacific not being expected to wash over Magnolia Bluff, there should be no especial wreck and havoc these parta, even if all that is foretold happens This is December 6; we have had a light earthquake shock about the 3. Unless a storm develops suddenly, that storm part of the forecast for Decem ber 6, will not apply to the Se attle district.
