WEATHER CONDITIONS
CABLEO To EUROPE

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Even the
weather in the United States is being
watched from the western battle front
in France. Like other events over here
such as the mobilization of man power
and the conservation of food. the
weather in the United States may vital
ly affect operations on the frontiers
of freedom.
Once every "a hours summary Of
weather conditions in the United
States is oahled TO officers of the army
who formerly we're officials Q; the I
S. Weather Bureau
The reason Is that marked condi-
tions Of the weather IN this hemis-
phere are likely L, Ae rejected in the
other. and the reason for thar is the
trend of the atmosphere toward the
east. AS the world revolves from east
to west the atmosphere in mid lati-
tudes tends 10 move constantly to-
ward the rising sun a great Storm
in this county may have its coner-
part in greater or less degree in Eu-
rop some days later, Fair weather
on this side may mean fair weather
over there within the week Supplied
with this, in addition to local informa-
ton. the Officers of the weather over
there" are aided in forecasting cOndi-
tions favorable for airplane activity,
artillery work, or other military OPP
erations.

PLANT POTATOES
NOW FOR HOME use

WASHINGTON, June lit isn't
too late the first half of June to plant
late potatoes in all sections of the
United States. says specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. who are recommending that all
available space in gardens be used for
this crop to safeguard home supplies
and TO reduce transportation.
Their recommendation is made de-
spite the fact that potatoes require
more space that most garden crops,
and should not be planted in small
gardens to the exclusion CT other
vegetables. One bushel of seed pota-
toes will plant one-tenth OF an acre
or a plot 44x100 feet and will pro-
duce enough potatoes for the use of
family Of FIVE during the winter. At
present there is a surplus of old po-
tOtoes on the market and sufficient
seed can be obtained at reasonable
prices. 1t is suggested therefore that
seed be used more liebrally than last
year, and that u to Is bushels Of seed

MENT DROPS ANY JUDGE WHO
MAY DECLARE SUCH an ACT OF
CONGRESS- UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

WASHINGTON, June Senator
Owen. OF oklahoma, would amend the
Child Labor Act to prohibit the Su-
preme court from declaring it un-
constitutional
Tomorrow he will propose the fol-
lowing amendment and ask the SEN
ate to pass it:
THE constitutionality of this act
having been declared by the compe-
tent authority of Congress and of the
president of the Uunited States at the
time of its passage, shall only be
questioned thereafter by Congress it
self and by the people of the United
States in their sovereign capacity as
voters.
Any executive or judicial officer
who, in his official capacity, denies
the constitutionality of this act, shall,
ipse facto, vacate his office. No Judge
of an inferior court shall permit the
question of the constitutionality of
this act be raised in the court over
which he nresides, and the court
over which he presides, and the Unit
ed States Supreme court shall have
no statutory power to pass upon such
question upon special appeal.
The effect of the opinion of the
Supreme court in declaring the Child
Labor Act unconstitutional, said
Senator Owen. to the a newspaper re-
porter today, lis to declare that the
members of Congress who passed it
and the president who signed it violat-
ed their oaths of office.
Il would withdraw from the Su
preme court power to declare acts
of congress unconstitutional Congress
cannot otherwise protect the COM
mon people against predatory monop-
ly. 1t cannot otherwise furnish the
American people the means by which
to adjust the great questions arising
between capital and labor, great ques-
lions affecting the business, political,
moral and physical life of the nation.
! Every state should instruct its
members of Congress to support my
demand for the control of the federal
judiciary"
Senator Owen contends that Con-
gress and the Supreme court are not
co-equal
Congress established a Supreme
court by statute and fixed the number
of judges and their compensation
said he. The Senate must confirm
the nomination of judge before he can
take his seat. Congress can impeach
the Supreme court and remove it
from office. Congress, under the con-
stitution, was expressly charged with
fixing the appellate jurisdiction of
the jurisdiction the court has worth
mentioning
The Supreme court has only orig
inal jurisdiction in all cases affecting
ambassadors. other public ministers
and consuls. and those in which a
state shall be party. Only about
one such case arises in ten years. All
other jurisdiction is appellate. Con-
gress has the duty imposed upon it
under the constitution to fix that ap-
pellate jurisdiction and make such ex-
ceptions and such regulations as it
sees fit"
