WEATHER JUMPED
IN MONTH OF MAY
Opened With Midsummer Blister
and Sank to Freezing
on the 18th.

Accordingly interesting is the
weather. whether in prospect. aspect
or retrospect. Hence the following:
May was the warmest day last
month. The thermometer rose to 92.
which is respectable summer heat. but
sank at the night reading to 80. fur
nishing thereby a variation of 40 de-
grees-the widest record last month.
The coolest day was May II. when
the mercury reached a low mark OF
3S-siX degrees above the freezing
point The reading was lower than
any recorded so late in the spring No
frost formed at the Weather Bureau
station, but at low and exposed places
in the vicinity there was a light de-
post.
The highest velocity by the wind
was on May 16, when a rate of thirty
seven miles an hour was recorded.
That's the average speed of fast ex-
press trains south of Washington. and
three times the highest speed of the
Broad and Main owl cars. The pre-
vailing direction was south, and the
total movement was 5,267 miles-the
distance. more or less. to Winnipeg.
Colon and st. Petersburg-take your
choice.
There were thunder storms on May
6, 0, 10, 16, % and 80, and fog on May
&C. There were fifteen clear days. nine
partly cloudy days. and seven cloudy
days a versatile month was May.

GIRL GRADUATES
ADVISED TO LOVE
DR.. Maclachlan Says Neither
Society nor Culture Will
Give Happiness.

About fifty graduates of the womans
College were advised last night to
eschew both the folly bells" of social
pleasure and the cold comforts of aca-
demic culture. and to seek happiness
only through love. by the Rev. H. D. c.
Maclachlan In his commencement ad-
dress.
DIR. Maclachlan proved to them by
authorities ranging all tho way from
Plato to Kipling that lf they sought
pleasure in the giddy whirl, 1t would
surely pail on them. and that each
new sensation would only beget the
desire for another.
Culture, he asserted. Is utterly un-
satisfying when followed for its own
sake, and when 1t is made more i'm
portant than social service. it becomes
a great evil He drew vivid picture
of the modern woman of culture
drawing her academic toga of learn
ing about her and passing scornfully
by sickness and sin and suffering"
But love is the dynamic power that
anmates society and makes culture
creative. and love, In the broadcast ac-
ceptance of the term, he urged the
young women to make the ruling mo-
tive of their lives.
Two medals, representing the high
est academic honors. were presented.
Miss Marye Lawson was given the
garet James that for the best essay
written during the school year. Tho
presentation was made by DIR. +. c.
Woodward, professor of English litera-
turc.
The presentation OF diplomas was
by DR.. James Nelson, president of tho
college, who made n short address, re-
ferring to the high record of the In
stitution, and the successful year which
II has just completed. After the grad
yates had received their degrees. tri-
butes in the shape of flowers began TO
pour in with such profusion that the
stage was banked with them.
In addition to the degrees. mum
Der of the students were presented
with certificates of proficiency in va
| rious branches OF work. Misses Marye
Lawson. Sue Voolfolk and Margarte
Hathaway were given certificates in
clocution: Misses Grace Cottrell and
