WASHINGTON GETS
 STATUE OF BURKE Sul6raye Institute of England
 Presents It to the City

Washington, Oct 1.-The statue ot Edmund Burke, member of the Brit ish parliament and staunch friend ot the American colonists, was presented to the city of Washington and to the nation today by the Sulgrave Insti- tute of England. It is of bronze in heroic size, weighing 25o0 pounds and is reproduction of the statue erected in memory of the beloved 1rishman, at Bristol, England. It de- picts Burke in an impassioned atti- tude in the midst of a speech.
 The site, on Massachusetts avenue, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, is on triangular park in the midst of the residential section, overlook ing several historic points, and facing toward the Carnegie public library.
 The Gulgrave Institute is a body composed of Americans. Englishmen and Canadians. whose purpose is the promotion of friendly relations among those countries. It is the owner of Sulgrave manor, whence it gains the name, the birthplace of George Wash ington's father, and long the home of the English branch of that family.
 The impressive dedication exercises were attended by group of promin- ent English members ot the society who journyed to this country to pre- sent the American memorialf to three Englishmen, famous in the history of that country and the United States. The three statues were given 10 Am ericans by the society and erected at their expense, only the sites being given. President Harding was asked to receive the Burke statue in behalf of the nation. The other two mem orials consisted of busts of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham during Ameri can Revolutionary days, and of Wis count Bryce, long ambassador of Great Britain in Washington.
 The Pitt bust was presented by the society to the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, named in honor of the Englishman Who stood high in the hearts of the early settlers of this country for his untring work in the British parliament to ease the tax burdens of the colonsts and to grant them stronger powers of local seif government. Pittston, Massachusetts also was named in his memory.
 Viscount Bryce, historian, econom- ist and statesman, as we'll as diploma tist, was the author of a number of volumes on economies and history, and an authority on American history and government. His extensive work. The American Commonwealth, is used as a text book, not only in universi ties all over the world, but by lawyers and statesmen.
 Edmund Burke is remembered, sometimes not so fondly by younger students, for his several addresses be- fore the parliament, favoring colonial government for the Americans, and lessened taxation with some represen- tation in parliament, that body which imposed the taxes without allowing the colonists to be represented in its arguments. His Speech on Concilia tion with America" is still master piece and a text for American school study.
 The Pitt bust was unveiled in l Pittsburgh on September IA; the | Bryce statue will be unveiled with appropriate ceremony in the Capitol | building here tomorrow.

GULF STREAM IS 3O
 MILES NEARER LAND
Course Has Altered in Last Ten
 Months, Sailors Say

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 11.-Marine men assert that the Gulf Stream is thirty miles nearer shore than it was ten months ago. To this they attribute the hot wave now sweeping the coun- | try.
 Navy men agree with the marine men and say they believe the stream | has swung into another course, de- I spite the fact that scientists are skep- tical or disagreed on the question
 If the theory however, that the change in the Gulf Streams course has been brought about by storms and other sea causes rather than by any construction work on the Florida East Coast Railroad along the Florida Keys.
 The marine men declare that the fact that the weather now is almost at July temperature is due to the warm water of the Gulf Stream be- ing so near the shore. One day out from Norfolk the weather is so hot men on ships can work on the open decks in their undershirts and then be uncomfortably warm
 Buckets of water dipped up out of the Gulf Stream by the crew of the steamer Eastern Trader was so hot a hand could not be kept in it for more than minute without danger of hay ing the skin blistered.
 The Gulf Stream, it is said affects the weather for the reason that when it is nearer shore it has the effect of cooling storms at sea before the wind reaches the coast. With the stream following its natural course, about 800 miles off the Virginia Capes, cold winds passing over the warm water are warmed for the time, hut again become cool before reaching the shore.
 It is reported that expert weather men employed by the government Will obtain from sea captains the &C., tions of the Gulf Stream at the pres | ent time for the purpose of arriving at some comprehensive opinion of just what effect the freak stream of | warm water hundreds of miles at sea | has on the weather on shore.
