MOST OF CLIMATIC ATROCITIES
COMES ACROSS BORDER FREE OF
TARIFF DUTIES, UNSOLICITED
AND ITNWEL COME

Washington, April 11.-People who
complain about the weather who kick
because it is too hot. too cold or too
windy. as the case might be, were re-
minded today by the National Geo
graphic Society that the weather is not
home-brewcd.
Most of il comes sweeping in from
other countries. blowing up beyond the
three-mile limit without passport or
tariff restrictions. Some Of it might
bear the brand Made in the L. :. \.

society reports. come from the north ana
southwest, but now and then the wind
in the Gulf of Mexico and the south
Atlantic kicks up its heels and there is
trouble.
But. say the learned men Of the So
ciety, II is worth noting that none of the
weather enters the country through the
stretch OF the Atlantic coast north Of
Cape Hatteras. the section into which
rours the vast hulk of material i'm.
ports, and which occurs a majority OF
the main disasters on American shores.
There Is some consolation 10 en-
thuslsts for the Made In America
movement. the society says, in the fact
that the great majority of disturbances
that enter the states originate in Alas
fa. or In the great warm caudron of
the north Pacific between the Aleutian
Islands ANA Hwaii, which is almost q

When her son, former Prince Joa'

kept from her for u long time, and II

The court announced today that a
formal decree would be issued within
the netX few days carrying out its
judgment. The Red river case grew
out of suit brought by the state Of
Oklahoma. which claimed the title 10
valuable oil deposits lying in the shall
low waters Of the river. Had the
center Of the river been held to be
the state line as Texas claimed, the
oil wells in operation would have been
thrown into Texas.
oklahoma's counsel produced in
court lengthy excerpts from the nego-
tiations between the United States
and Spain in 1919 To show that this
very point was brought up at that
time. Secretary Adams. according TO
his memoirs, set forth that he had in.
sisted that the south bank" of the
Red river must be accepted as the
limit Of the jurisdiction of the United
States.

the decision handed down today by the
United States supreme court in the
Red River boundary case.
While the decision settles a contro.
versy which has existed between the
United states government. Texas and
Oklahoma. the fixing Of the boundary
line does not eliminate all litigation
In connection with the lands involved.
Persons closely connected with the
case estimate that hundreds OF scpa-
rate cases will be filed in various state
and federal courts as result Of the
decision today
The story OF the Eed River contro-
versy is one Of the most interesting
features Of the history of the southwest.
The controversy dates back to the
Louisiana purchase In 1903. and To the
treaty between the United States and
Spain in 1919. The treaty was signed
by John quincy Adams then set the
boundary between the United States
and Spain. the territory referred To as
Spain being what is now Texas and
Mexico
The litigation which resulted iu the
decision today was started In 1918. fol-
lowing the bringing in of oil in the
river bed from the south bluff to the
middle OF the channel.
