NEW FORCE OF "POLICE
MOTHERS" GUARDS GIRLS
WHO GO TO C0NEY ISLAND

NEW YORK, July l3.-There ap-
peared upon the beach at Coney Is
land today the new force of Police
Mothers" volunteer organization of
women possessing police authority,
whose members patrol the sands to
keep harm from the thousands of
girls who come alone to the big re-
sort.
The force is commanded by Mrs.
Ellen Craig, of the department of
parks of the Borough of Brooklyn.
While the police Mothers cooperate
with the regular police, their work is
more personal and calculated to pre-
vent trouble for the girls rather than
to stop it after it has gotten started.
The patrolled district is the entire
beach, from Sea Gate to Brighton.
The Police Mothers serve without

F. L. Odenbach, st. Ignatius COL
lege scientist, declared today that we
are not going to have any summer
this year. He blames it all on 25
spots he has just discovered on the
sun.
These are the most spots I have
ever seen on the sun at one time,
said the professor.
at indicates abnormal weather con-
ditions and probably means an ex-
tremely cool summer.
"The sun spots don't directly con-
troll the weather conditions, but their
influence is electric and magnetic on
the atmosphere and this influence,
combined with local weather factors,
determines the weather.
This year is the Tooth anniversary
of the country's famous summerless
year of 1916. In that year there
were killing frosts each month and
corn for seed sold for 81 bushel.
That would mean $2s a bushel this
year, by comparison.
"None of the sun spots is visible
to the naked eye, yet they can be
photographed. One of these bigger
ones has diameter of 1000 miles
and covers the whole eastern and
central portion of the United States
