THIS SUMMER

We've been having queer weather lately in
most parts of the United States And we NAV
be in for a queer, unseasonal summer. The
Weather Bureau in Washington reports that
1922 was the sixth year in succession with
temperature generally above normal east eof
the Rocky Mountains. Since nature in.the long
runs keeps the average yearly temperature
finely balanced the reaction from these six
abnormally warm years may be an abnormally
cold year
Will it come in 1924 cold summer?
A cold summer is due, but probably not I'M
til about 1926 in line with the climax of the
"55-year cycle"
Go back two cycles Clio years. from 1925
and you have 1916, "the year without sum-
nler. Snowfall and ice formed in July in MANY
OF the northern states, and seed corn in 1916
sold as high as $4 busheI," Herbert J. Browne
writes in Henry >Ford's Dearborn Independent
Browne quotes from the diary of Charles
Peirce of Philadelphia; August, 1816-Cheer-
less and cold Northeast rains. Ice one-half-
inch thick. Indiancom frozen"
While 1916 was extraordinarily cold it was
merely one of the Summarizes wears" that
come periodically. The Black Sea and the
Dardanelles have been frozen over within re-
corded history. And in the year 1884 even the
AdEiatic froze
One thing that helped make 1916 very cold.

WRANGLE.

France is not too busy in the Ruhr
to protest against Turkey granting
an oil concession to American inter
ests. She forgets Napoleon, who
might have been successful if he
hadn't tried to eat too many pies at
once.
You probably think: What do l care
about this oil concession? Ny money
isn't involved, I won't get anything
out of it.
However, the big wars usually start
over the private affairs of few in
dividuaIs. The World Wars original
cause was the desire of German cap
italists to build railroad from Berlin
to Bagdad.

GOING.

Fifty years ago the public domain
Gland owned by the whole people,
with title in<the government) was 1851
million acres. Now it's only about 1873
million, and dwindling at rate that
will take the last acre in another 10
years.
Some of it, has been set aside as
parks and forest reserves, but most
of vt has passed to private ownership,
usually homesteaders.
'Free land" the lure which built
up America in its early days, will

by, youth of America. Our country
is in its manhood, though a long time
until it limps with cane.

BUYERS.

Warning from John E. Norvell, big
shoe manufacturer: "A buyers strike
seems to me the only thing that we
need be apprehensive about. If come
modify prices rise too fast and too far,
we will meet, Sooner or later, increas-
ing reluctance on the part of the buy
err. The present good business period
will then be drawing to close"

Donesticdlly Speaking
BY BERTON BRALEY

MO doubt the centipede at home
Is gentle, generous and kind,
But centipedes abroad will roam
And when they do, Pm not inclined
To pat one gently on the head;
And If I did it, I'd be dead,
THE cobra in his domicile,
Away from worriment and strife,
May greet his children with smile
And show affection to his wife;
But in his public life I'm prone
TO leave the cobra quite alone,
FOR certain crooks and buccaneers
Apologists will make this plea
He's not as bad he appears,
He's so good to his family"
The cobra and the centipede
Might plead the same, but who would heed 7

Washington
By HARRY B. HUNT.
NEA Staff Correspondent.

Washington Next to the supply of
cigarets which President Harding
keeps loose in the middle drawer of
his desk where they can be reached
with least effort and delay when he
wants smoke, the chief executive
likes to have within reach a supply
Of good old-fashioned peanut brittle.
Doubtless this is a bareback to his
boyhood days in Caledonia, O., when
stick of peanut brittle was reck-
oned the last word in tasty confec-
tions. Anyway, the appetite for pea
nut candy, developed at that time, has
never been fully satisfied, much less
outgrown.
Learning from Mrs. Heber Votaw, a
sister of the president, of his insat-
liable appetite for peanut brittle, Mrs.
Walter C. John, wife of the secretary
of the Highway Education Board, an
expert in homemade candies, made up
a special batch for him. After she
had it prepared, she sought a fancy
box, appropriate for a gift to the
White House, in which to pack it. But
Mrs. Votaw demurred.
Don't fix it 1up fancy" she said.
Warren will like it a lot better if
you just pack it in an old breakfast
food box
Which was done. The breakfast
food box full of peanut brittle sure
enough found the place of honor in
the executive desk.

The state senate has wisely killed the bill
doing away with vaccination. One way to make
a state healthful, is to insist on reasonable
regulations of disease. Wisconsin, with fair
laws has hard fight to keep thepublic health
free of invasion and no step should be taken
to make the existing laws less stringent.

Anyway, when he was in Wash

Abraham Lincoln died. In this his

Congress from time to time has talk

seemed to find the money.
Ford looked the collection over
then offered Oldroyd $4,000 cash for
it. Oldroyd is thinking it over. He
would like to see the collection, on
which he has spent years, go into
government hands. But, frankly, the
expense Of gathering and maintain
