HOT SIMMER?

This summer will be hot one, despite the late spring

heat than normally So predicts Dr. Charles F. Brooks the
astronomer.
The reduced heat of the to be expected says Dr.
Brooks customary part OF the 11year spot period
which reached it's greatest development in 1917 and recedes
to it's lowest point in 1923.
Brooks points out that the every IL normally

spots appear These wane when the slows down

The next cycle will have its climax in 1928.
DR.. Brooks says: There is paradox that the cooler

One scientific explanation that when the has mild

The earts heat starts returning back into and the
ozone blanket tends to keep it near u.s. the same as a

&c. says Brooks there probably at present reduced
loss Of the ear heat through space despite reduction of
the amount of heat we're receiving from the The
ozone formed overhead by nature to counteract the suns
chill, works like asbestos around a steam pipe.

coming summer, SHOULD be higher temperature consd

and balances revealed in this insulation forming
