| there IS about one chance IN Inree
| that the hottest day will occur during
the present fifteen day period, or,
about an even chance that we will
have passed it by August 1.
The seasons record to date is SO de-
grees. That was on July II.
Have You been asking the question
When can we be sure that we have
had the hottest day Of the year and
may expect it to get cooler?"
Or have you been arguing with your
next door neighbor about how hot 1t
has been here at different times and
are unable to settle the controversy?
II you have, here Is the answer to
some OF your questions. They are
taken from the official reports Of the
Keokuk weather bureau station during
the past forty-seven years 1t has been
in existence.
The heat record for Keokuk Is 108,
That temperature was reached on two
different days, July Q. 1901 and
August 1, 1918.
When X Went Over the Top.
There have only been ten years in
the entire forty-seven when the mer
curry has climbed past the century
mark. During four other years 1t
reached the hundred mark but was un-
able to pass 1t.
But if there is any comfort to be
had from knowing when the hottest
day Of the year has occurred, here are
the figures: 1t has been in June three
times; in the first half of July eight
times; in the second half of July
seventeen times; in the first half Of
August nine times; in the last half Of
August seven times, and in September
three times.
The earliest date on which the sea-
sons record was reached was on June
IT, 1898, and the latest date was
September II, 1895.
The records will heartily put Iowa
In the class with summer resorts for
the lowest maximum temperature in
forty.seven years is 90. That was in
1882.
The hottest average maximum tenn
peratures for an entire month are 95
degrees. July 1901, and August 1918,
divide the honors on that score.
All of which facts are the result Of
almost half century Of observations.

factprers were quoting prices for steel in the United Kingdom lower than those
 quoted by British manufacturers Nevertheless, he said, the government was not prepared to restrict the impor- tation of iron and steel because of the demand for it in Great Britain.
 Lieutenant-C Colonel Sir r. Hall de- clared that the American steel manu- facturers were underselling British steel in English markets by ninety shillings ton and upward. He asked Sir Aukland if the government was going to do anything to protect British steel manufacturers from this Ameri- can competition This evoked the re- ply that the government intended to impose no restrictions at present.
 There is a very great demand for iron and steel in this country at pre- sent and our producers are not, able to meet it,' said Sir Aukland Geddes. Our foreign trade demands a large of iron and steel to be worked into things to be exported

PRIDE IS LEADING
 RUMANIAN TRAIT

Bucharest, June 2.-Red Cross field workers have noticed that one of the most striking traits in the Rumanian people is their sense of pride. With all the misery and poverty of the poor, they never beg. They are always content with what the Americans give them.
 At the distribution centers there is never complaint, protest or clamor. The Rumanians are always grateful for what they get, however, little it may be. Prob ably no people on earth endure hunger and suffering with more resignation and patience
