HOT WAVE DUE
To CHANGE IN
GULF STREAM
Course Shifts Thirty Miles, Say
Seamen, But Scientists
Express Doubt.

NORFOLK, Va, Oct. IL
Warm water in the Gulf stream
is responsible for the hot wave
that is sweeping the country at
the present time, according to
marine men. The Gulf stream,
by the action Of storms and the
sea, is almost thirty miles nearer
the coast line now than it was
ten months ago.
This, marine men say, causes
hot weather on shore. The fact
that the weather now is equally
as hot as it was in July, is caused
by the warm water of the Gulf
stream being so near the shore,
mariners say.
Hot On Ships.
One day out from Norfolk. the
weather Is so hot men on ships can
work on the open decks in their un-
dershirts and then be uncomfortably
warm.
Buckets Of water dipped up out of
the Gulf stream by members OF the
crew of the Steamship Eastern Trad.
er were so hot a human hand could
not be kept in them for more than a
minute without danger of having the
skin blistered.
Naval men, discussing the unsea-
sonable hot weather, say they sim
cerely believe 1t is due to the action
OF the Gulf stream despite the fact
that scientists disagree.

The present indications are that the
Pleasantyille Post Office will be rated
as a first class office within the next
six years. 1t is now in the second
class and constantly showing a growth
that will put it in first class within the
time indicated. In order to be rated
as first class the postal receipts, that
is box rents, sale of stamps, stamped
envelopes and post cards must reach
ceipts for the current year will go to
10000 or probably a little more.
The receipts have been growing at
the rate of $4,000 and $4,000 a year
and next year the increase is expected
to be at least $4,000 over this year.
The postal receipts for August of this
year were $2,090.48 from the sale of
stamps, post cards and stamped paper
alone, no box rents being included in
this months total. The receipts for
the month of August of 1921 were only
81, 2S1. 20.

now the receipts III about the same
each quarter, when they are payable,
and amount to 1857. This was the am
cunt for the April to June quarter and
will be the same for July to Septem-
Der. The coming of free city delivery
and collection of mail. which is to
start on November LIST, will further
increase the revenue of the local Office
as many letters which are now carried
to other places for mailing will be
dropped in local street boxes when

made

On Wednesday night Chief of Police
Robert Marshall noticed a young wo.
man acting strangely on the streets
and after observing her for a time he
took her in charge and placed her in
the City Hall overnight. She could
not give a clear account of herself OF
where she came from and DR.. GrieT
was called in to make an examination
He pronounced the oma insane and
DR.. Conover, at a later examination
%concurred in this opinion.
Yesterday Chief Marshall tried to
ascertain who the was. She
told him her name was Sophie Hagan
and that she had a sister living at 125
Westminster Avenue. Atlantic City,
and her mother, Mrs. Carrie Hagan
resided at HOO Peach Street, Philadel-
phia. She also said she had a relative
living at 1851 Atlantic Avenue, where
her clothing was at present. AT the
latter address, Chief Marshall ascer-
tanned that the woman had worked
there for a couple of days in a store
but was released from this job be
cause of her queer actions. At the
Westminster Avenue address she was
not known, the landlady saying the
woman had applied there for rooms
but had been refused. Chief Marshall
went to Philadelphia yesterday (Fri-
day. to learn whether or not the mo
