A new policy announced by the
war department relative TO the
holding of commissions simultane-
ously in the national guard and

sions, IL such appointment can be
legally made. II appointment in the
same grade and branch can not be
made by reason of Limitations in

ferred until. under the law or by
virtue of state of war, II can
be made in the same branch and

pose of bringing about identity of
commissions in that corps and in

milton as a national guard officer
will be accepted as evidence of quail

Persons commissioned in the ma
ttonal guard, but not federally rec

pointment or promotion as reserve

ed. however, that all such persons

defer requests for appointment or

CALIFORNIA PRIEST
READS SIGNS IN SKY
Padre of Rains Takes High
Rank Among Modern
Astrologists.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 4.-"For
happiness l advise the study Of the
stars. You grow nearer tic heav-
ems, you become one of them. Life
becomes peaceful"
This is the philosophy of Father
Jerome s. Ricard, who celebrated
his golden jubilee in the Roman
Catholic priesthood on May 30. at
Santa Clara University.
Padre OF the Rains" is what
they call the venerable priest Of
Santa Clara who ranks as a daring
pioneer In the field of weather OBJ
servation- The accurateness of his
forecasts has placed him among tho
foremost meteorologists in the
world.
Although he has often been at.
tackled for sponsoring the theory
that the presence of spots on the
sun" is the cause of storms on
earth. the correctness of hio theory
has repeatedly confounded his
scientific.
His ability to prophesy accurate
ly, days and even months ahead.
storms and their location is almost
uncanny.
When Father Ricard made publi
several years ago his now famous
sun spot" theory his critics
laughed.
They said my beliefs were too
radical. smiled the Padre of Santa
Clara reminiscently. "I had depart
ed from old theories. That, you
know, is nearly always met with
Jeers. However. 1 have lived to
see my radical views accepted.
Scientists, generally speaking,
continued Father Ricard. "are the
biggese fools in the world: that is
when of their given line. For my
self, I know that my entire work
lies In sun spots. Ask me of other
fields Of astronomy. and I say I do
not know"
And the venerable priest smiled a
smile Of satisfaction as he leaned
against his telescope in the roman
tic garden in the rear of Mission
santa Clara. The garden. shaded
by olive trees and dotted with pretty
flowers of many hues, was brig
inally planted by the Spanish
padres who founded the mission in
1871.
