showed no inclination to come down

The official Weather Bureau report
in Washington places the top heat
at "a degrees at 2:30 yesterday after
noon, ard continuing until shortly
past six o'clock. This is also a new
mark. bettering the record hung up
on June IA by one degree.
Tomorrow, however. should place a
slight crimp in the heat wave. The
forecast for that day is unsettled with
probable showers and lower tempera-
ture.
Bathing beaches and soda fountains
yesterday reported a boomer busi-
ness and that is not a surprising piece
of news.

WHAT SIMS ATTACHED
IN SPEECH IN LONDON

With ali the talk going the rounds
about Admiral Sims. it is well TO re-
call again what the Admiral didn't do
in his recent speech in London.
The Admiral referred TO "zebras"
and TO what he inelegantly called the
"jackasS" vote. What did he have in
mind? His language answers these
questions clearly. The zebras and the
mule-iathers 10 which he referred
were not the Irish collectively nor the
so-called IriSh-Americans collectively.
His knowledge of vast number who
have gallantly served side by side with
him f0rbids such a thought
He assailed only the radical Sim
Feiners. who are no more represent
ative OF the great body of Americans
of Irish descent than Niereck and Won
Mach are of the great body OF Amer
leans Of German descent
