WAR DOES
NOT AFFECT
R RAINFAL

Washington, d. c., Sept There
is nothing in it, says the United
States Weather Bureau to repeated
inquiries as to whether the war af-
fects rainfall or any other weather
conditions. There is a popular fall
lacy that conclusions, explosions and
the liberation Of gases in the Euro
pcan conflicts is having an effect on
the weather, not only over the bat
tlefields, but elsewhere on the globe:
hut it is only fallacy, say the
weather specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
even though 1t has existed almost
since the beginning Of historic time
Before gunpowder was used, The ar
clients had an idea that battles pr
duced rainfall. which was caused by
the clash of swords and the sweat Of
the fighters,
Later, the same theory was trans
ferred to the noise produced by mue'
kerry and artillery; later still, to dust
particles ard smoke from burning
powder upon which the moisture in
the air was sur .----- be condens-
ed and to rall as rain, and now to
the gases freed by explosions, and
liberated in the new chemical war
fare
These theories are not combated
merely by other theories, but by ac-
tual observations made officially by
several of the belligerent govern
ments, and the net result of these
careful observations is to refute the
idea of any effect of war on weather.

TOO MUCH SUGAR
IN JAPAN, JAVA
BY United Press.

Toxic, September 7.--(By imail)-
While the housewives OF America and
Europe arc suffering from a shortage
of sugar, those of the Far East have
a supesabundance of the sweet. To-
kiO sugar dealers are wroth, for they
fear the product of the Japanese EN-
pire is to be driven off the market,
or greatly lowered in value, by sugar
imported from Java
Java is at the bottom OF the trouble.
With smaller export demand than
usual, its centrifugal sugar has ac-
cumulated into great stocks at Ba-
tavia and Sourabaya, and consequent
ly prices there are down This week
the prices at Batavia for centrifugal
sugar is about two and a third cents
a pound. With higher prices in Ja-
pan, it is to be expected that sugar
should flow this way It is being sug-
gested in Toxic that available space
on ships plying from Yokohama to
San Francisco and Seattle should be
devoted to sugar on the ground that
it is not economy to waste either
ship space of fruit available for can.

but Christianity offers neither ter
ritores nor possessions. The man ana
woman who is wrapped up in spirit
ualism is the hardest person in the
world to convert. Spritualism is the
biggest work-by-dark force in the
world ANY religion that appeals to
the people to continue without a
change of conduct is false The
church had to meet Greecian civil

comparison with us as we to the

Among his concluding remarks,

FRENCH GIRLS WORK
As CHIMNEY SWEEPS
Pays Better Than Dressmaking
When Season Ends They'll
Take Up Whitewashing.

Chimney sweeping has been taken
up in Paris by two girls-Mille. Cecile
Sevestre, aged eighteen, and Mile. Ger
maine Fleury, seventeen.
Asked why they had undertaken it,
Germaine explained:
eve both worked in the same dress
makers shop. The war obliged the
directress herself to find work else
where, and consequently we had to do
the same. My father is a chimney
sweeper but men have all been mobi-
lied and we offered to help him.
"Our customers are so surprised to
see us and also so pleased with our
work that we never feave a job without
getting a good tip. Cecile has fixed
salary of seven francs a day and she
usually gets four francs extra in tips.
In the dressmaking trade she got three
francs a day.
"Soot easily comes off. We have
only to take a bath and dress to go
to a theater if we feel like it. When
our work is done no one can tell we
are chimney sweeps. At first we felt
the effects of climbing and jumping
about on roofs, but now we're used to
it and enjoy it.
''Next spring, when the chimney
sweeping season is over we shall take
to embarrassing. Go from black to
white, see?"
