Kissed BY III. Nurse.
: From the Indianapolis News.

= From the indianapolis News.
An indianapolis officer. writing from a
hospital in France, tells how a French
officer pinned a war cross on his pajamas
n how, without any warming, one of the
nurses hurried to his bedside and planted
"a nice rosy kiss on the ugly mug of
yours truly There is no reason to be-
lieve that is a love affair. Doubtless it
was a proxy kiss-it represented the femi-
members OF his family.
Fiction nurses ave been of one kind.
In the Illustrations they were strangely
beautiful. Always their hands We're cool
and their uniforms fresh. Some young
millionaire had been picked up and car
ried to the hospital where the nurse
fought for his life-grim death stalking
just behind the door. His identity was
not known, but he was a man. wide of
shoulder and small Of girth. He had a
flat back and his close cropped hair was
inclined to be curly. BY and by he be-
came rational. The first thing he real
lied was the cooling touch of the nurses
hand on his feverish brow. But why
contir-ue? He always married her, and
they lived happily ever after.
Much has been heard about the splen-
did service Of Anglican nurses in
France. They have worked in danger
GUS territory and under conditions that
have had the courage to do what they
went over there to do and they nave
made a grateful country their perpetual
debtor. There was so much discipline
and so much need for haste about their
work that romance has not had much
chance. Military etiquet does not pro-
vide that a kiss shall be given with each
hot water bottle. Yet there is. nothing
so soothing sometimes and nothing bet
ter calculated to take a patients mind
away from his aches and pains. Per-
haps the future will bring forth the story
from France that some of the nurses
have ben decorated for distinguished
services because they knew when it was
proper to kiss a patient and when it was
needful to give him a dose Of medicine.

Need Higher Education.
From the Washington Cd. c. Pc
ssThe Hun must ho whinnod af an,,

From the Washington ID. CO. Post.
"The Hun must be whipped at any cost,
but l hope the young men Of this country
will return to college after the war is
over" said Col. Murrell L. Bruckner, of
Dallas. at congress hall. The necessity
for higher education is well illustrated by
a story which was told in the recent race
between Governor Hobby and Ferguson
for the governorship of Texas. Ferguson
was opposed to the management Of Texas
university. and the campaign finally
became a contest between those for or
against higher education. A prominent
lawyer who was supporting Ferguson,
advocating larger appropriations for the
little red schoolhouse suddenly switched.
When asked what ~occasioned the change
he gave the following explanations:
" Down In Hill county there is a rural
mail carrier whose chief occupation is
playing poker. and he succeeded in break
Ing all the young sports along his route.
Being a fair power player myself l con-
cluded to break him.. Finding my victim,
I asked him II he would like to play a
little draw poker. n he was delighted.
He produced a deck Of cards. and I saw
Immediately each one was crudely marked
on the back. For instance. he had a "K'
for a king, a co. for a queen, a s'J' for a
Jack. n so on. He dealt the hand,
giving me a 10. jack. queen, king and a
deuce. He gave himself three kings. The
top card in the deck, which would come
to me was marked with "a" I thought
I had a cinch.
"'He opened the pot and I raised him,
and this continued until I had all my
money in. I drew one card and he took
two. looked at his hand and then at
mine. "How do you spell eight?" I asked
him. He replied "Aiate." Since then
have been strongly Of the opinion that
the people Of this country eeded higher
education"

Announcement.

To the voter of the Southwestern
Judicial Circuit:
I beg leave to announce my candi-
dacy for office of Solicitor General, in
September primary
If elected shall perform, with cour-
age and fidelity the duties fixed by
law upon the holder of this Office
My conception is that there can be
such policy of its administration, as
that the office will stand as a menace
to wrong-doing, and as well, a posi-
tive aid and encouragement to con-
structive good and peace to the coun>
ties of the circuit,
Every effort will be made to make
practical realization of this concep-
ton.
Opportunity for extended service is
the. strongest reason for this decision.
Will sincerely appreciate and try
hard to justify any confidence an in
terest shown in my race
Respectfully,

BIG CONFLICT IN RECENT
 ABSENT VOTERS ENACTMENT

The law recently enacted by the spe- cial session of the legislature which was designed to give the vote to the absent soldiers and sailors, is a con- crete example of the manner in which lawmakers can get hopelessly snarled in their attempts to experiment with new and untried bits of legislation. A full and complete text of the measure was received yesterday by R. T. Belcher, clerk of the board of super visors, and as a specimen of legisla- ton which conflicts with measures en- acted in years gone by, the new law is pippin.
 The provisions of the enactment make it necessary for the clerk of the supervisors to mail to each voter who is in the army and away from his home precinct, one of the official pri- mary ballots, and the law states in no unmistakable language that the ballot must go forward not later than 40 days before the date of the primary. According to the old primary law, each candidate had until within twen- ty days of the primary in which to file his nominating petition, and the off cials are wondering whether the en- actment of the new law will necessi- tate the various candidates filing their petitions in time to get them on the copies of the official ballot which is sent to the soldiers. It must also be

 UNUSUAL TEMPERATURES

Statements regarding extreme tenn peratures must always be received with more or less caution and incor- rectness of thermometers and unsuit- able exposure, and also because of the tendency, naturally enough, to exag- gerate, although such may not be the intent.
 Weather records all over the world are not secured and preserved with the accurateness and care that they are in the United States, therefore it is not an easy matter to find out just how hot it really is in some of the secluded equatorial portions of the world. Maybe they don't have ther- mometers there, or maybe heat makes no impression on those people any way, about the only manner one in this country can really know how hot it gets in the Melay peninsula, for in- stance, or in North Africa is to go there for summer, which includes about the whole twelve months.
 It is generally conceded that the hottest places in the world are in the desert of Sahara, the plains of India, the interior of Australia and in the valleys of the Gila and southern Cali fornia.
 At Tizi Ouzon, Algeria, it is noth- ing unusual for the temperature to reach 121. It even has gone as high as 130 there. Aumale, Algeria, is an other hot place where weather rec ords have been kept. There it goes to 125 and 126. On the northern edge of the African desert it has been re- corded at 137.
 Then take India, country where it uniformly is hot, except in the noun tains. Temperatures of 130 have been recorded there during the past ten years. Agra and Lahore simmer at 120 and 122; Jacobabad has summer temperature on frequent occasions of 121, while at Sialkot and Derea the thermometer easily goes up to 122 and 124. At Ismail Khan it frequent ly shows high score of 125.
 British Halayasia is one of the really hot spots of the north. Popu- lated by many Englishmen who ire uuently return home for visits, the temperature is made a matter of rec ord. Britishers swear that it is noth- ing unusual for the thermometer to register 130 or even more for months during the summer.
 As to the United States, the high est known record of temperature was recorded on July 10, 1913, at Green land Ranch in Death Valley, Cali fornia; when the thermometer went up to 134. That would seem to equal the highest of any spot in the world. For that matter, this is said to be the worlds record.
The Coconino sun., 1918-06-28

The highest temperature ever re- corded in Arizona was reported from Fort Mohave and Parker on the same day, July z, 1905, when it made rec ord of 127. The highest temperature ever recorded in Phoenix was IF on July 3, 1907. On that same day it was 119 at Mesa, 119 at Tempe and 130 at Granite Reef.
 Southern California can produce some of the highest temperature rec ords in the world on occasions. For instance, at Mammoth Tank on Au- gust IT, 1885, the thermometer went up to 130 degrees above zero.
 In occasional summers extensive portions of the United States are sub ject to excessive and dangerous tenn peratures, and which are prolonged for days. In July, 1876, there were continued high temperatures during the greater portion of the month throughout the United States east of the Rocky mountains, the heat in many places becoming so intense as to produce fatal results, something al most unknown in Arizona. It also caused suspension of business and augmented the death rate of some of the largest cities. People died by the score in New York, Baltimore, and Washington, while all who could get away rushed to the coast for relief. The infant mortality was great. This was considered one of the worst heated terms in history.
 In July, 1879, there was another heated term of almost equal intensity. From Missouri and Iowa eastward to the Atlantic coast, there was burn ing path of death. During this pe- riod, the heat was so intense that busi- ness was suspended and in ten days nearly fifty fatalities occurred, all due to the heat. One hundred and sixty three perished in St. Louis alone and probably many hundreds died throughout the entire east as re- suit of this heated term.
 From September 12 to 15, 1882, a succession of very hot winds were ex- perienced over Kansas and Missouri, during which temperatures ranging to 115 were recorded. Vegetation burned up and the air at times was filled with clouds of suffocating dust.
 Yuma holds the hot month record in 1877, when the daily maximum temperature did not sink any day below 103 and the mean temperature was 110. The highest in that month was 11S. At the same time it was 122 at Spring Valley in California.
 The immediate Pacific coast region is noted for it's cool, equitable sum- mer temperatures, but in several in- stances the desert wind of California has seriously affected the immediate coast. The most remarkable case, that of June IT, 1850, was at that time said to be the most wonderful visita- tion of this character in the Pacific coast region for thirty years. At San Francisco on that date, the thermom- eter is said to have registered a rise in the temperature from IT to 133, with burning northwest wind, which fortunately lasted for only fey hours. The burning air was filled with dense clouds of fine dust which caused intense suffering and drove everyone to shelter. The fruit was all destroyed and although the burn ing blast lasted but a few hours yet animals, such as calves. rabbits and birds, died from the effects.
