Correct Heat Records

Why does weather bureau ther-
mometer show lower temperatures in
hot weather thnn the Thermometer at
the corner drug store7 asks the Pnpu-
lar Science Monthly. When dseropan-
cies exist, they are due chiefly 10 the
fact that the official Thermometer Is
installed In a wooden cage, where 1t
Is open TO the air, but screened from
both direct sunshine and the heat re
1ected from surrounding buildings.
Only under such conditions does a
thermometer measure accurately the
temperature Of the air.
A thermometer in the sunshine be
comes much hotter than the air around
1t. and lis reading simply tells US how
hot the instrument is, not how hot
the air Is. In large cities the weather
bureau thermometer Is often Installed
on the roof Of Il high building. where
the temperatures differ somewhat from
those prevailing at the street level. The
object sought in this arrangement is
to obtain record Of the natural TEN.
perature of the locality In general.
rather than the artificial temperatures
Of the city.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
LINE UP FOR new
RAYMER TELEPHONE

At meeting Of the Raymer Com.
mercial club held at the bank Tuesday
afternoon, January lst, it was decided
to start the New Year right by push
ing various matters pretaining to the
development of Raymer and the sur
rounding territory.
Among the things brought before
the meeting was the telephone PROPOSE
tion, and Claude Lacock and Jay Miller
were designated as the committee to
take charge Of the matter and TO make
the necessary plans for erecting the
telephone line in the territory adjacent
to, and south Of Raymef. This com
mittee was instructed to interview the
various farmers along the proposed
line and ascertain their views in the
matter as well as To get the data as to
the cost Of building such line.
The business menof Raymer decided
to install central Office in town and
to connect all the stores to the eX-
change. This is something that is
needed badly in Raymer, and it Is hoped
that this telephone proposition will de
yelop rapidly and soon become reality.

II He Was King of New York

A modest sculptor, telling n dining
club wha. se would do to New York
If he were king, says he "would dcmol-
lsh all houses between Sixth and Sew
enth avenues. Washington square and
Westchester county, then build a great
boulevard and erect at each end tre-
mendous domed buildings us halls of
fame for the illustrious dead of the
nation"
1t is difficult to prophesy what the
remainder of the population would do
In such an event. but 4 is likely that
the soverelgn's encourage would soon
sing "God Save the King from the
Taxpayers" and make an early reser-

a new squirt of aggressive CO.

ing of satisfaction as applies both to
the development of Raymer and to
each individual. We do not want to be
satisfied at any time but strive to sur
pass all previous records.
We must move forward always or we
go back. There is no such thing as
standing still. If you doubt this try to

when you were in school. Most likely
you cannot do it, and therefore you
have gone back, to at least some ex-

offset by development along some
other line.
What is true with an individual is
also true with the community. We

The modern conyeniences are nice
hot water in the house. etc, but
these things are also dangerous if not
carefully used. An explosionof water
front caused by frozen pipes at ster-

serious injury to two more children and
the wrecking of the kitchen.
An Eaton jeweler ran amuck one day
last week, caused by too much Cheyen-

Many mothers are not interested in what their children see, as long as they can get them out of the house for few hours in the busy afternoon. Years ago. when all small boys read dime novels and there were no movies. there were naughty boys. The naughty things they did then were TO doubt blamed on the "Adven- lures of Jack shepard" Now children no longer read In yellow-covered books the wild and thrilling experiences of their bandit heroes. Instead, they go to the movies and see them on the screen. So they blame the movies? Blame 1t on human nature.

 Three little girls, the oldest 12. were arrested in New York city on a. recent evening for having stolen a hand bag containing money When telling about their method of committing the theft. one of the girls, according to the police re- port, said that they had learned the trick at the motion pictures" and had practiced it for sometime, using the pro ceeds to see more motion. pictures and learn more modern methods. Truly alarming admissions from children of such tender years! But guilty as many motion picture producers must plead to the wrong of showing so clearly in their films how to put crime over" is if iust for the movies to be blamed for every naughty thing that every naughty child does? It Is human nature always to seek something or some person to blame for our sdeeds-children or grown ups, 1t matters not. The devil tempted me, said Eve.
