RELIEF PROMISED
FORSTR|CKEN STATES
Rains and Cooler Weather Is
Forecast for Kansas and
Nearby Section.

A measure of relief to scorched and
stricken areas in the corn belt Of the
Mississippi valley Is promised by the
Weather Bureau in a general weekly
forecast from headquarters here.
According to Prof. Marvin, chief of
the bureau. atmospheric conditions over
the entire continent and the two oceans
indicate temperatures for the week be-
low the seasonal average.
"A general moderation Of the heat
wave over the central valleys and the
middle plains States is probable dur
ing the first part Of the week. he
says. The precipitation during the
week will be local, but generally near
the normal. Over the great central
valleys, the plains States and the
Rocky Mountain region there will be
frequent showers and thunderstorms
during the next several days, attending
the eastward movement of a disturb
ance that will prevail the first part Of
the week over the Rocky Mountain re-
gion.''
Whether the promised rains and cool
er weather will save the crops Of Kan
sas, Oklahoma. and Nebraska, Is prob
lematical. That is a problem for the
agriculturists. It is said. At any rate,
relief will be afforded stock and hu-
man beings throughout the great plains
Temperatures fell in the north

Wonders of the Alps

To drive up to the edge of chasm
which seems almost bottomless, at the
rate of thirty miles an hour, and then
suddenly swerve and speed around a
turn that appears in the path as by a
miracle; to dash down the side of a
mountain. and then seem to leap the
road and swing of into space-these are
sensations that one experiences in
viewing the Lyman Howe motion pic
lures. taken in the Alps, which were
shown at the Columbia Theater last

wonderful cloud effects of the Swiss
peaks are vividly portrayed. while the
scenes about the rushing streams of the
foothills. foaming through rugged rocks
or dropping sheer over almost infinite
spaces. make a deep impression. Adding
to the wonder of the Howe pictures are
the effects produced by sounds In a
scene taken on a rockbound coast, with
waves beating in upon the shore, the
spray flying mountain high, II seems
the effect of the imitation OF the roar
and swash of the waves is remarkable
