The secret is out.

Inc secret Is out.
Wise men, rich men. poor men and
fools have puzzled their brains for a
good. sufficient reason for the barbar-
Gus weather which these United States
have experienced during the present
alleged spring.
But 1t remained for a weather pro-
phet to tell the reason and for an Iowa
editor to suggest that he disclose it.
Prof. w. IT, Foster, the weather fore.
caster, whose forecasts have been for
more than year now appearing in the
columns of this paper, has issued a
statement telling what we're the causes
Of the weather.
1t is all very simple and plain.
The planet Mars was the Immediate
cause. OF course there wer other
causes thet entered into the case. but
Mars was the particular and principal
demon whose influence is seen in this
unhallowed spring.
Just how 1t all worked out lis also
very clear and startlingly easy to un.
derstand after you have it explained
to you.
Here is the whole thing in nut

DENATuRED ALCOHOL AS A
MEANS OF FURNISHING HEAT.
AND POWER NOT POPULAR.
DECREASE is SHOWN
Believers in New Substance, However,
Feel Sure That les Production Will
Increase When People Are Better
Acquainted With It's Use.
Washington Bureau Of
The Ottumwa Courier,
Washington. May 16.

Denatured alcohol production is not
increasing at the rate that could be
wished by the ardent believers in
that substance as a means Of furnish.
Ing heat, light and power. The en-
thusiasts who believe In denatured
alcohol are as yet unable to discover
that their expectations are borne out
by the hard, cold figures. Recently.
the Internal Revenue Bureau COM
pleted Its tabulation of returns on
the March production OF the United
States. These statistics show total
production of $50. AT wine gallons,
1S3,267 Of this being completely de-
natured alcohol and the remainder
specially denatured.
Compared with the February pro-
duction, this Is falling off. The total
produced In the United States IN Feb
ruary was 294,697 gallons. OF this,
245,9se gallons was completely de.
natured.
Considering the March report and
the January report, there was falling
off Of over half In the production in
the month Of March. The production
in January, the first month when the
law went into effect. was more than
a half million gallons.
There was heavy call abolt the
first Of the year for, stocks Of denatur.
ed alcohol from retailers. Manufac.
turers fastened to supply the demand.
The sales Of retailers, however, have
not been as heavy as anticipated. Their
stocks have not been disposed of as
rapidly as expected and consequently
there has been no very large demand

Wilson a Believer.

Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Agriculture has from the beginning
of the agitation of this subject been
a profound believer In the great future
of denatured alcohol. No man in
the government service is doing more
than he today to make the denatured
alcohol enterprise a great success.

Several possible changes in the foot

cussed and one OF them is modin-
cation of the much-criticized forward

Association of the United states Will
be held at the Murray Hill Hotel, New

fore the new football Rules Committee

Ing the attention Of football ,,a lnEis la
question OF rules themselves. Penn

new association. and Cornell Is likely

fpected to become a member OF the
body.
Before Captain Palmer e. Pierce. OF
West Point, president of the general
association. went West he was very
hopeful of Inducing Yale to join the
fold. He felt the disposition at Yale
was much more friendly toward the
association than at any time since the
association was formed. No definite
action was possible, however. because
Walter Camp was abroad when Presi-
dent Hadley. of Yale might have set
tied the matter last summer. Unless
Yale feeling takes a turn there Is rea-
son to believe she will join.
The association has formulated the
amendments that are necessary to

leges wish. IL those amendments pass
