Chicago, ILL.,, July 12.-There

1t has been practiced with great
success by DR.. Charles B. Reed of
Wesley Memorial hospital, Chi

1t consists of making appoint

worked out by DR.. Ahlfeld, a Ger

by an invention of DR.. Worries.
DR.. Reed, one of Chicago's lead

is among the wealthy, has syste-
matized the stork to the extent of
having him make all his calls of
afternoons.
For a year Or more he has new
er had a night case or received
the consignments of the stork ex-
cept by such arrangements as one
might make with dentist or
dressmaker. In that time he has
allowed a hundred or more babies
to choose their own birthdays
within limits.
The scope of birthday choosing
is q span of two weeks before the
stork must come willy nilly. Any
day in those two weeks that suits
little Johnny or Jenny-to-be suits

4 GREAT Storm PERIOD

Burlington Iowa, Hawk-Eye {:
Two months ago, or more, Prof.
W. y. Foster, Of Washington, n.
U. IN his forecasts of the seasons
weather warned the people of the
United States of unusual meteor
illogical conditions that would OBJ
tam In June. His forecasts were
published in the Hawk-Eye and
other papers throughout - the
United States sOt hat they are of
complete record.
Mr.. Fosters theory is that the
sun and the planets of the solar
system constitute a group of dyn-
amos whose rapid revolutions
send out electric currents that
affect the magnetic conditions of
each one, and its atmosphere. The
sun is the most powerful of these
planetary dynamos. The action
and interaction of the electric
currents vary with the changing
positions of the planets, similar
to the effect upon each other of
the relative position of two or
more ordinary magnets in a lab
oratory. The laws of electric &C
ton and magnetic attrction nd
repulsion, re the same through
out the universe. This theory,
when first announced, was reject
ed by many scientists, but has
since gained many adherents, not
only because of many years Of
continued verification of FORE
casts based thereon.
But the sun as the great GEN.
trail storehouse Of heat, light and
electricity, is subject to some ire
mendous disturbances popularity
known as sun spots. The cause of
these extraordinary eruptions are
conjectural, but, through a long
series of observations there has
been discovered periodicity of
action and they can now be fore
told with substantial accuracy. In
the pursuit of his studies Prof.
Foster has unearthed at Wash
ington many old and dusty rec
ords extending back NEARLY a
century, and he has found, as
have other meteorologists, a
marked coincidence of sun spots
and exceptional weather condi-
tions on the earth. Taking these
facts into consideration with the
other phenomena of interplane-
tary magnetic pulsations, Prof
Foster has been able to make
many remarkably successful fore
casts of wind and rain storms,
earthquakes, low and high tenn
reratures and other meteorolo-
gical disturbances. The June
storm period through which the
country is passing is only one OF
many instances worthy of special
recognition. His. forecasts for
June, it will be recalled, were
warnings of abnormal rainfall
high winds, tornadoes floods and
more or less loss of life and
damage to property. The predict
ed weather was so unlike the US
ual June weather, noted for its
rare days" and beauty of sky ano
landscape, that many people
thought Prof. Foster had this
time limped. But the dispatches
tell the story; no effort at vindi-
cation is required.
1t was a matter of graduation
to the people of the upper Miss
issippi valley that the severest
storms were predicted southwark
and fortunately for our section
such proved to be the case. OBJ
viously the science of meteorol-
oey is making progress, and much
credit is due Prof. Foster for his
many years strenuous studies oil
a difficult, elusive problem.

THE MURDERER's SYMPATHY.
HE ROAD TO DESTINY.

1t must be apparent to every person familiar with
Imperial Valley that in their logical sequence have come
people and events leading continuously to destiny
that seems to have been foreoraned regardless Of the
voition of man.
The dreamers the builders the artisans and the ar
tsts each appearing at the appointed time, have come
forward as though some commanding hand had pushed
them forward each in his order and some commanding
voice had said Go We there and get busy!"
The Barbara Worth hotel, opened yesterday, is JUS
tifcaon and in part realization Of the dreams have
dreamed. But Il is not the consurnmation.
A keener eye than c. R. Rockwoods saw through his
eyes the ultimate destiny of this valley stronger hand
than theirs in fellowship with the hands of W. F.
Holt and the others who built. AS Harold Bell Wright
threaded the words of silver the of gold,
there greater purpose than his that provided the
material AS the artists wrought in color and clay in tile
and bronze there inspiration beyond human
thought.
But no one can believe that this is destiny, that
here halt the great orderly procession Of harmonious
events.
Where the destiny Of this valley ies say.
But this is not It. This is but station passing
en- route.

NEW HIGHWAY PLAN.

~ new highway program has been worked out
Sacramento whereby the appropriations for work tt
Riverside Brawley and Ell Cenro-Yuma roads to |
dropped and in their place there will be a bond issue
S800000 for a highway from San Bemardino to Yum
via Banning. The presumption is that this Will pas
through Imperial Valley, though there the pOSSbilit
Of revival of the effort to avoid the valley and til
Mammoth Wash route.
In addition to this there is to be bond issue Of
east 100000 for completion of the San DegoEl Cent?
highway.
A press dispatch thus tells Of the project
Three million dollars added to the pro
posed bond issue for state highways by the
ate this afternoon in order to complete number
Of important arteries in Southern California.
The Assembly passed a $12,000,000 measure to
complete the highways for which S18000,000
voted four years ago.
In the senate this afternoon the following
lines added:
State highway from San Bernardino to Bar
stow, $250000.
Highway from San Bernardino to Yuma by
way OF Banning, SS00,0O0.
Highway from bishop TO Los Angeles by
either Arroyo Seco or San Gabriel, exact route to
be determined by engineers S500000. This is
chiefly for the part from the Antelope Valley to
Los Angeles the northern part is to come from
the regular $4,000 600 issue.
Completion of the highway from San Diego
to FL Centro The estimate OF the expense has
not yet been completed but it will be in excess
of S500000
An immediate campaign of education is to
commence IN order that the voters of the state
may be fully apprised of the highway program.
The electors may be asked to ratify these bonds
at a special election, to be held the first Tuesday
IN November, provided appropriate legislation is
passed before adjournment. There is a legal com
pication in this regard that may prevent the sub
mission of the bond proposal at the special eec
ton in November; the attorney general is work
ing on this question tonight and report from
him is expected tomorrow
By including the Brawley and the Fl Centre
highways IN the bond issue they are withdrawn
from the special roads appropriation passed by
the legislature. But 1t Will mean that If these
bonds are beaten there will be no roads built with
special state appropriations for the next two
wears.
