A carefully designed landscape plan
has been prepared for identifying the
grounds around the Red Cross build
ing at Fort Smelling. This work was
made possible by the efforts Of the

committee of which, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. James Jannison, has been
active in supplying patients twice
weekly with flowers. These, as well
as flowers, will be planted in plots
prepared by the Red Cross and SOL

Cross.

Discredits Dread
Storm Prediction

Several months ago a man who
Claims to be a scientific authority

United States will be swept this
month, December) by the most
terrific weather cataclysm expert
enced since human history began.
owing to the strange grouping OF
six mighty planets, as has not been
Seen in score of centuries.
He predicted that on December
IL sun spots will appear so large
that they will be seen without the
aid of a telescope and that these
spots will engulf the earth.
Strange weather conditions have
been reported from various parts
of the west and northwest. In
one area a temperatures of 50 de-
grees above zero was reported and
not far away it was 10 degrees be-
low zero. An unusually mixed up
weather condition prevailed, accord
ing to the United States observer
there.
Rev. w. F. Rigge, astronomer at
Creighton university observatory,
discounted the predictions of the
man who expected cataclysm this
month.
l Just wait few days and then |

about 40 per cent carry only one
headlight. They disregard the dim
smer and speed laws and they doh't

Government Control
OF Sugar Prices Asked
To Protect Consumers

Washington, Dec. 15.-Complete
government control Of prices and
distribution of sugar is necessary for
the protection of family consumers
from prohteers, members of con-
CESS declared before the House Agri-
culture committee. At the same time
q. A. Zabriskie, president of the SUI
gar equalization board, advised the
committee that continuance of the
board would be useless unless it
we're given control over prices and
distribution. These powers, Presi-
dent Zabriskie pointed out in a
telegram to the committee, are not
included in the pending McNary
bill.
Opposition to the McNary bill,
passed last week by the senate, led
to an informal agreement among
committeeman and house leaders to
eliminate from the measure the pro-
vision repeating the licensing pow
ers of the government as conferred
by the food control act. Chairman
Haugen said formal action would be
taken under a plan calling for early
action by the house. Leaders, how
ever, were doubtful whether the
bill, if amended, could be finally
disposed of by congress before the
holiday recess.
Simultaneously with the meeting
of the agriculture committee the
house interstate commerce commit
tee will meet Tuesday to consider
bill proposing an embargo on all
sugar exports.

delinquencies on the grounds of
