Scarcity Of Hurricanes.

No undue alarm should be occa.
stoned on the part Of public regard
ing the early appearance of hurricanes
from the West Indies this year, de-
clares the United States weather
bureau. Referring to the recent
storms in the Caribbean sea and the
Gulf of Mexico, officials OF the bureau
state that although 1t Is unusual to ex-
perience hurricanes In the month Of
June, the records OF the bureau do not
show that early storms of this char
acter signify ans increase In activity
In the later months Of the hurricane
season.
A record of all the West India hurri-
canes that have been reported since
the first voyage of Columbus is on file
in the marine division Of the weather
bureau. and contains great deal of
interesting. If tragic. information.
From this record 1t appears that hurri-
canes have occurred In June In only
eight years during the last century.

u.a Wild Crab Appl.s.

Perhaps you have shifted the elus-
I've, spicy gusts Of fragrance from wild
crab-appIe blossoms In the spring of
year; but you may not yet have dis
covered the value of those blossoms
when by autumn they have turned In
to ripe little crab apples, says the
Woman's Home Companion. They
have excellent jellying properties,
which make the fruit valuable not
only by itself alone, but particularly
In combination with fruits which
would not make jelly Of themselves
Moreover, they add zest aud flavor
to insipld fruits. The wild crabs
cook up very soft but do not get
mushy. and though the skins are
tough, they are easily removed.
1t would be patriotic duty for the
housewife to make use Of these wild
native fruits and so justify their pres
ervation, for at'present they arc too
widely being cut down as worthless.

GRIFFITH GOT ONLY
BLIZZARD FILMED
Is Shown In SWAY Down East" Com
ing To Isis Theatre For Return
Engagement Monday.

There is one real actor in d. W.
Griffith's master film-play. Way
Down East" which is to be shown at
the Isis theatre beginning Monday, who
viii never appear in any other film.
This was an old-fashioned down east
blizzard.
It will probably not be a surprise
to anyone who sees Way Down East
to know that the big storm in which
Anna was lost was q real storm-the
first one ever put on any screen.
In the old play. the outraged Squire
sent the heroine out into the storm
when he learns OF her hapless past"
Mr.. Griffin had been able TO buy So
ciety drawing rooms in toto. He had
transplanted an old New England
town with the real natives thereof. He
had imported old New England sleigh
ing parties and real country dances
and real country fiddlers; but there
seemed not to be any blizzards in the
market. With his scrupulous fidelity
to detail Mr.. Griffith scorned the usual
wind machine devices.
His staff hopefully telephoned all
over the country plAintively inquiriug
for billiards., but every section report
ed the balm of the South Seas. Mr..
Griffith had just about decided that
billiards. had become extinct with the
dodo and the saloon when a regular
old bowler hit the studio.
1t was like the bell Changing a gen.
eral alarm in a fire engine house and
cameraman began pouring out the stu
dio on the run A limousine labored
up the road through binding sto1m
and disgorged Miss Gish who had not
waited to be called.
All day long they fought that vi
cious old storm into the film. Work
ing by turns, four husky property men
held down the legs of the tripods while
BiIev Bitter and Hendrick Sartov
turned the camera crank.
out in the teeth of the blast stood
an looking figure, muffled
in five overcoats. When the figure
turned, the features of D. w. Griffith
were disclosed underneath the hood.
In the fury of the bowling storm, his
words were lost, so he had TO direct
the storm scene with weird gestures OF
muffled arm.
To the eye, Miss Lillian Gish looks
to be a shrinking delicate, ethereal
little creature; but she showed that
day the pluck Of a champion.
Mr.. Griffith suffered a frozen face,
two or three camera men were blown
over and buried in snow-but they
got the only real blizzard ever filmed.

NO SUBSTITUTE FOR THE FLAG.

Every community in the country has
some civic ganization-Biwanis, Ro-
tary, Lions, Civitan, Optimists Clubs,
Chambers of Commerce, Board OF
Trade, Commercial Clubs. Business
Mems League. Woman's Clean Town
Club-they are many in kind and all
good in intent.
Sometimes they find themselves with
out worlds to conquer or abuses to
correct.
Here is an example for all such to
follow:
The Scottish Rite Consistory Of
Sioux City distributed free, three hun
dred and forty seven American flags
to the public schools of it's city. Each
school received a large flag, and in
addition smaller flag for each room
in the school.
The flag Is responsible for the
school. Had there been no flag, and
all for which it stands, there would be
no public schools and all the oppor-
tunity they offer to rich child and poor
child alike.
The school is responsible for the
flag; had we no schools and no young
men and women growing up in them,
we would have no defenders of the in
situations for which the flag stands, no
men and women to glory in its red,
white and blue, stand for it, believe IN
1t, swear by it, honor it, protect it.
Flags belong in schools. The school
without a flag. to be seen every day
and all day, is underequipped. II there
are not seats enough children can, and
do at times, sit on boxes. Where there
are no blackboards, states can be used.
II there are not enough books, two or
more can share a volume between
them.
But there is no substitute for the
flag
Sioux City Consistory has pointed
the way; every organization in every
truly American community can fol-
low with profit where they have led.

per cent over the consumption during
the year ending June. 1921.
Latest figures assembled by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
show a tendency towards stabilizing
living costs. with clothing rising very
slightly in price from the low level
remarked in recent reports on clothing
having reached rock bottom. issued by
the National Retail Dry Goods Assoc
citation. To quote the National Indus
trial Conference Board:
''On April Is. 1922, the cost of living
was 54.s per cent above What 1t was
in July, 1914. This represents an in
crease of less than one tenth of one
per cent since March Is, 1922. The
only change in the entire budget within
the month was q slight increase in
clothing prices which had an insig-
nificant effect on the budget as a
whole. Dealers are of the opinion that
there will be little or no change In
clothing prices during the next few
months and real estate operators re-
port the same regarding house rents.
The future price of coal for domestic
use is said to depend largely on the
outcome OF the present strike on both
anthracite and bituminous fields"
There is one thing to be noted by the
better halves of the American people.
according to the forecast made June L
by the Bureau of Research of the Ma
-tional Dry Goods Association:
Skirts are undoubtedly longer at
the moment, and viii be still longer in
the autumn. Paris is constantly send
