PREDICTS GREAT STORMS

Italian Astronomer Declares West

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Dec. IL
Persistent in his declaration that
great storms. probably the heaviest
on record, will visit the western coast
between December II and the end of
the month, Prod Porta, Italian astron-
omer, today answered his critics who
deny the accuracy of his theories.
Wait and see. l have never pre-
dicted the end of the world-for this
month. That prediction has been
made by Eastern astronomers"
Porta said the extreme cold wave
now in progress on the coast is the
first manifestation of the alignment
Of six planets on one side of the sun.
Sun spots will result, he said
However, the great storm period
will soon be here" he said, "and our
respective beliefs will be proved or
disproved. This will be the supreme
test"
Prof. w. w. Campbell, director of
Lick Observatory, in a statement de-
clared, mo man is able to predict
what will occur in the way of storms
or earthquakes, even ten days in the
future" He said similar configura-
tions OF the planets to that which
will occur on December II have oc-
Cured many times, land no one has
recognized that the world has suffer-

xN are accumulating some monuments in this coun
w try-that is. places that were the scenes Of oul
history making.
And with time we will accumulate more Of them
and there should be system for preserving them
future generations will remember more kindly.
France has what is called The Commission OF National
Historic Monuments
It's function is entirely sentimental rather than ma
terial
It restores and preserves all buildings that have had
to do with the history OF France.
For instance. private purchaser Of chateau can
make changes build additions to it without FIRST sub
mitting plans to this body for approval
This French commission is made up for the most part
OF architects who have made special study Of periods
or historic styles Of architecture
We are about ready for such a commission in this
country.
Some Of the best of our historic monuments have only
been preserved through the patriotic efforts of individual
citizens
Some Of the best examples OF splendid colonial
architecture public structures have been ruined by
ill-adyised changes and additions.
The home and tomb Of George Washington was only
saved by the efforts Of woman, Miss Ann Pamela
Cunningham, of South Carolina
For nifty years after the death Of General Washington
the property owned and occupied by John A. Wash
ington, nephew Of the father Of our country.
The land grew poor and keeping up the house and
grounds became a prontless responsibility.
The house became unsafe.
John Washington offered the property to the
ment and then the state OF Virginia but both offers
were declined.
Miss Cunningham organized the MI Vernon Ladies
Association OF the Union that paid 100000 for the house
and grounds in 1859 and a large additional sum ex-
pended in restoration.
This organization holds title to the buildings and
100000 Of land around them and it is made mp Of
a representative woman from each state in the Union
An average Of 1900 persons visit Mt. Vernon per
month. An admission fee Of % cents together with the
income from endowment funds not only pays for the
upkeep but many items Of the original furnishings have
been reassembled
The restoration Of the mansion indicates close and
intelligent study Of the Of building and landscape
gardening its time-even to the and way of trim
ming Of the original box hedges with which Washing
ton speaks with such pride OF his correspondence
Great precaution is taken against fire at Mt. Vernon,
and full set of drawings Of all buildings have been
made that they be replaced in exact duplicate II
destroyed from any cause.
National Commission or Historic Monuments II one
is established in this country well take pattern
from the organization that has extended Mt Vernon

TIE MAIN POINT
lFrom The New York Trlbune.j }

Labor is aggrievcd because the Ma
tional Industrial Conference has de-
clined to make the settlement Of the
steel strike its paramount business
But in the deluded pride Of thinking
II could achieve its ends by might,
labor was deaf even to the govern
men's plea that the steel strike be
postponed until The opening of the
National Industrial Conference. Though
II was a matter Of only a few days, the
d=masos,ies and reyOlutionaries in the
councils Of labor could not be re-
strained.
They have lost
The steel shrike is lost-unless Mr..
Gompers can win it by strategy in the
Washington conference.
For the sake Of true American trade
unionism, il is to be hoped that Mr..
Gompers cannot win it, for then the
utter failure Of the steel strike will
have historical significance Of deep
value. The case against Bolshevism
win have been proved in terms that
can be understood by the most ignorant
alien.
II in America there Is no Lenine who
can deliver the goods our alien prole-
tarlat is doomed TO become prosperous
bourgeoisie. Besides, the extent to
which public sentiment has been alien
ated from the cause Of labor will be
lesson that sane leaders Of organized
labor will not soon forget May 10

The right Of men 10 bargain collec-

There Is no reason why the Federal

in advance Of the assembling Of Con
gress, an actual statement OF its real
needs; that Is, OF the estimates for
Federal expenditures and Of the plans
for meeting them That is not now

considered by executive agencies. They
are made up separately by the several

II would not solve the problem sim
ply to present unified estimates. The
estimates should go TO a great commit
tee Of Congress which would study
them as a whole, coordinate them, and
make its report TO the whole body At
present they do not. They go to nine or
more different committees, each work
ing separately.
But this is not all. While the ap-
propriations are handled by these com
nittees, the ways Of meeting them are
considered by a separate committee in
each House Then, when the reports
are before Congress, any member. if he
chooses, can propose amendments and
may secure changes or additions, so
that when one presents his estimates,
he is aware that he may not be able
to recognize them when Congress has
finished with them.
What can be done? The estimates and
the revenue statements and plans can
be presented as a whole They can then
be referred TO a single great budget
committee, one for each House, or bet
ter a combined budget committee for
both Houses, which can get all the light
on them Il wishes. This committee
should consider both the appropriations
and the ways of raising the revenue to
meet them and make It's report to both
Houses.
There should be a rule that no addl-
tion can be made to any item In the
budget the committee presents to Con-
gress except by an unusual majority.
This would prevent the leading down
Of appropriation bills through the log
rolling process with items OF interest
only TO individual or localities. Then
Congress- should complete its control
over the the finances by having some
officer responsible 10 Congress and not
to the executive, who should examine
all accounts and report to Congress his
findings and recommendations.
