SCIENCE CASTS SOME DOUBT
ON JANUARY THAW'S REALITY

Prof. c. F. Marvin, chief of the
United States weather bureau. has re-
Gently published a memoir on '"The
Recurrent irregularities Of Tempera-
ture," in which, as a result Of math-
ematical discussions Of numerous
American weather records. he reaches
the conclusion that the annual
march Of Temperature" is a smooth
curve devoid of secondary maxima
and minima or Of perceptible points

ularities, as suggested by terms like
the January thaw." the May freeze
etc. do not persist or really exist.
When such Irregularities still re-
main in the means Of a long record
they are simply residual imprints of
a single or few fortuitously recur-
rent extreme or unusual events.

LODGE WANTS PRESIDENT
APPEALED TO ON LEAGUE

BOSTON. January TO- Senator
Lodge in a personal letter made public
today by the Massachusetts, joint com
mittee for a league of free nations
advises those who are anxious for
prompt action on the treaty to direct
some of these suggestions to the
President.
The letter from Senator Lodge says:
''The incessant demand that is made
in certain quarters for further con-
cessions by the Senate is not helpful
to the cause of agreement because
the President has not only failed at
every point to consult the Senate in
any way, but he still stands immov-
able in his demand that we ratify
the league of nations without any
change at ALL which the Senate has
refused to do. 1t seems to me it
would be well for those who are
anxious for the immediate action to
direct some of their suggestions to
the President and his followers whom
he called upon to reject the reserva-
tions which are offered and which
believe to be absolutely 'so1nds in
principle,"

Sam L. Rogers, director of the census
for the United States. announced in
a statement last night that the re-
ports received thus far from census
enumerators in all parts of the coun-
try Indicate that the gigantic task
is progressing in a highly satisfactory
manner.
Out of the $1,000 enumeration dis
tricts into which the country has been
divided less than 100 have reported
inability to start the canvass1ng work
because of unfavorable weather. This
is a small percentage. indeed. Mr..
Rogers said. "and the census bureau
is gratified over the showing. More
over. the temporary check on the
enumeration work in these districts
will not have any effect, as the
census bureau is prepared to assign
additional enumerators to these local.

mo instances Of serious trouble
or willful refusals to answer the CEN
have been reported. The only diff
culties of this nature encountered
thus far have been where the pur-
pose of the census was not fully un-
derstood. These MISUNDERSTANDING
have been Strengthened out quickly
by the local census authorities. A
simple explanation of the fact that
the census is required by the Consti-
tuition anu by act of Congress. and
that it has no connection with taxa
tion, enforcement of laws, military
service or deportation proceedings
has usually sufficed to iron out what
ever difficulty existed.
The so-cal1ed reds have not given
the census enumerators any difficulty.
so far as the bureau is advised. On
the contrary, the supervisors for
many of our large cities have report
ed that the enumeration work in the
districts commonly supposed to be
inhabited largely by reds Is pro-
crossing swiftly and with the mini
mum of difficulty.
"One instance Of an attempt to inn
personate q census enumerator has
been reported. This case was swiftly
dealt with, anu the impostor is now
in Jail under the custody of the United
States district attorney. The census
bureau is determined to protect the
PUBLIC from impostors. who seek to
use the census machinery to further
their schemes"

Census enumerators have some
humorous and amusing experiences in
their rounds of Washington. but the
prize census story for the week OF
work Just closed came to light last
night.
One of the districts in the southwest
section of the city was assigned to
woman. This enumerator entered a
home in which resided two colored
men, and when the door was opened
she told the man who answered that
she represented the United States gov
ernment. and had come to enumerate
the persons living here.
The little colored man almost turned
white, she said, made motion to shut
the door in her face and finally gath
cred courage enough to utter: What
for you want me. 1 amt done nothin .
Leastways I'm through serving time
for it, She explained the purposes of
the census. and finally won both in
habitants of the house around to the
point of giving the information.
The same enumerator asked a
woman if she owned or rented the
house in which she lived, a routine
woman answered that she did not
know and she walked around to q
house fully two blocks away, bring
ing back with her rent receipt. She
showed it to the enumerator, who was
satisfied with the answer. ~
Deny Being Anarchists. ~
But one of the best finds Of all was
n colored family in Washington the
members of which individually and
jointly insisted that the census enum-
orator was a government agent seek
ing anarchists" and "reds." When
the enumerAtor entered the home and
said he was an agent Of Uncle Sam
seeking information every member
Of the family began talking. loudly
protesting that they were not anarch-
lists and did not seek to destroy the
government. After a while a bright
thought struck one young woman and
she said: Maybe he Is one Of these
here reds hisself. He wants to find
out all about us and send US to work
on the farm" Finally the enumerator
convinced the occupants of the house
that he was not there to do them
harm. but to gather information
vitality needed by the government, and
they all answered the questions

door in the enumerators face when

that the bituminous coal operators
of the country would agree to arbi-

ervations, just as the miners did in
their reconvened convention here
this week.
"The public will not stand for a
refusal to submit to arbitration as
proposed in the agreement which re-
suited in the settlement of the strike
last month";. said Lewis. He declared
the operators had made the proposal
to submit the questions in dispute to
arbitration. ~

The commission worked all day
