Ignore Forecasts.
"They do not pay much heed to the
forecasts of politicians. We nave

promises made in party platforms and
on the stump with a cynical indiner'

Mr.. Wilson would support labor,
without any over.nicc scrutiny OF the
methods OF the case or the future

"Moreover, there was a real blur

other half because he had not gone

"when public man who had for
three years praised Mr.. Wilson's acts
separately turned around and during
the campaign condemned them all
collectively, he did not carry conyic
the full opposition strength against
him when the leadership for three
years had been such that until thc

THE WAR is NOT TO BLAME
Has Nothing TO DO with Condition of
Weather, Says Scientist.

In the popular mind, the great con-
flict in Europe. with It's thousands OF
miles of artillery engaged on both
sides In a continuous bombardment,
not to mention machine gun and small
arms firing is regarded AS causing an
unusual amount of atmospheric dis
turbance which brings about an eX-
cessive amount of rainfall and other
unusual weather conditions, not only
In the immediate vicinity of the con-
flict, but in this country. Like many
other popular ideas. this notion is re-
jected by the scientist. The answer
of the scientist to the popular impress
sion that battles bring rain and un-
usual weather is that such a belief
cannot be demonstrated by scientific
research, and that the European war
has no effect on weather conditions
either In Europe or in the United
States.
Dr. Charles f. Marvin, chief OF the
United States weather bureau, was
the effect of high explosives and of
battles on the weather is negative.
The weather bureau has received a
number Of inquiries on this subject,
since the war began" said Doctor
Marvin. I'VE have made no especial
study Of European conditions since
the war began, and such data as we
receive are necessarily delayed But
from our own observations in this
country we know that the ancient idea
that explosions cause rain must be re-
jected. From our present Information
we know that the effect of the war ON
the weather is negative. New York

CAMPAIGN BEGINS
FOR SANITARY CITY
Cleanup Paint-Up Program
Embraces the Entire Dis
trict of Columbia.
WAR ON DIRT AND DUST
is ONE CHIEF FEATURE
Work of Beautifying Dwellings and
Improving Home Surroundings
Now in Full Swing.
They're off,

They're off,
The 1916 cleanup paint-up cam
paign to make Washington the clean
est neatest. most healthful and sani-
tary and most attractive capital in the
world started this morning.
Even nature seemed to be taking part
in the campaign. Early this morning
the weather man turned on the water,
and enough of shower fell to lay
the dust. Dust is about as much of an
enemy to health as germs. SO the fore
thought of the weather man in pro-
viding showers that will keep down
the dust was an aid to the battle
against dirt
The showers washed the dust off the
trees and shrubbery in the parks and
along the streets. and gave the budding
leaves a chance to show off their brand
new greenery. All along the streets
of the city the bright. new foliage
showed up to better advantage for the
bath.
Get an Early Start.
And everywhere Westinghouse were
to be seen. getting an early start at
the cleanup phase of the campaign.
Rakes and brooms and trash baskets
were in evidence from early in the
morning until the showers forced a
temporary cessation in the battle
against dirt and untidiness.
Indications are that the 1916 cam
most thorough of all similar campaigns
ever held in the District of Columbia
More different forces have enlisted
until the end Of the war than have
been lined up in any previous cam
paign and a wider general interest is
being taken this year in cleaning up
Uttered premises. removing accumula-
tions of trash and rubbish. and refur-
bishing shabby unattractiVe homes and
buildings than ever before.
Heavy Sales of Implements.
Dealers all over the city say that
sales of rakes, brooms. trash recep-
tacles etc, have been heavier this year
than at the same time in any former
spring season. Concerns that handle
paints and painters materials report
largely increased sales of such goods,
and hundreds of property owners and
householders in all parts of the Dis
trict of Columbia have informed The
Star or the lean-up-paint-up commit
tee of the Master House Painters and
Decorators Association that they have
planned 10 40 tne1r DIT in the way of
removing trash and refuse of all kinds
from their premises and in putting on
the new coats of paint that do so much
toward increasing the attractiveness of
buildings. and at the same time add to
the actual cash value of such struc-
lures and serve to prevent deteriora-
ton and injury.
The paint-up phase of the campaign.
naturally. was held back by the show

way just as soon as the weather man

waiting for SunShiny weather for the
painters and decorators to get to work.
All in all. Washington is in for the
most thorough housecleaning the city
ever experienced. What if father does
