MYSTIC ISLAND WANTS
 THE NAVAL BASE
Site is Suggested to Secretary Daniels
 Through Senator Hewitt.

The talk of the removal of the naval base from the Navy Yard on the Thames river has suggested the idea of trying to persuade the navy depart ment to locate at the mouth of the Mystic river. The advantages of either MasOn's Island or Mystic Island as a location for 8 naval base are called to Secretary Josephus Daniels atten- tiOn in a, letter which Senator B. H.
 Hewitt sent to him Tuesday evening
 It is pointed out that the mouth of the Mystic is more accessible either from Long Island Sound or from the Atlantic, just around the east end of Fishers Island. Each visit to a naval base located at Mystic Island for in- stance, would mean a saving of nearly ten miles each way. Senator Hewitt has called the navy seCretary's atLen- tiOn to these advantages. including the attitude of the people of the vicinity, who would like to see the naval base transferred to this locality. Also if the plant were located at either AIys- tic or Mason's Island there would be much less liability of trouble from trespa assers, Mystic Island especially being accessible only by water. At the south end of MasOn's Island and at Mystic Island, still farther out, there is plenty of water for vessels of the deepest draft. Mystic and NOank and StoningtOn people are becoming in terested and enthusiastic over the pos sibility of the naval base being trans ferred to this vicinity, and it is hoped that Senator Hewitt's letter to Sec retary Daniels will have some effect.

Tremendously Big Spot Today.
There is a tremendously big spot
on the u today, Captain HODGE
wern says. He did not say that to-

spot. But here Is what he did say:
1.-THE sun is the source Of all our
life and energy. The sun runs the
earth, scientifically, so Il Is not I'M
reasonable to think that It would
take a hand in the weather here"
Because the maximum periods OF
sun spots Is so far apart-eleven
years-the relation Of these spots to
the earth's weather is difficult to es-
tablish, declared the Rev. Louis

nectiOns Of the spots with the earth

TO Father Rodes, It was found that
In many cases the effect Of sun spots
was without doubt certain, chiefly as
