INDIAN SUMNER NOT SEASON
BUT TYPE OF MILD WEATHER

The popular belief that Indian sum
mer," is a period occurring more or
less regularly every autumn is not
based on accurate meteorological OBJ
servations, says the Weather Bureau
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. "Indian summer" is the
name commonly applied in this coun-
try to a period of mild fall weather
following a spell of ~unseasonably cold
weather known as "squaw winter"
AS a matter of fact, "Indian Sum-
mer," especially as that delightful
period of autumn weather is known in
Gallatin county, is not a definitely
fixed season in the calendar, but
varies in date and duration. In many
years it is intermittent; that is, there
may be several Indian summers in
one autumn. Indian summer is not,
strictly speaking, a a at all, but
merely a type Of mild, calm, hazy
weather likely to prevail at any time
in the autumn or early winter
Thoreau, in notes on weather condi.
tions at Concord, Mass, from 1851
to 1860, records the occurrence of In.
dian summer weather on dates rang.
ing from September q to December
Is.
In Europe, as we'll as in America
it is popularity believed that a re
newal Of mild weather occurs ever!
autumn, and the dates of its suppose,
occurrence are more definitely fixet
than is the case in this country, as tn
period is associated with the name
of various saints who have fixed date
in the ecclesiastical calendar. TIL
mild period is accordingly known i
different parts of Europe as as
Martins summer" "St. Luke's sun
mer," or "St. Michael's summer" an
tradition fosters the idea that it
always mild and warm about the tim
of these various saints days.

FOOD RIOTS CAUSE BERLIN
TO RELEASE FLOUR RESERVE

Berlin.-In view of the seriousness

points, the governor has decided to re-
lease Immediately the comparatively
small reserve supplies Of flour which
had been stored and originally intend
ed for emergency use during the win

Officials express the hope that the
release of the flour will have a tend
ency to relieve the conditions brought
about when the government abandoned
the subsidies to the bakers. which
for years had kept down the price of
bread. The bakers maintained, how
ever, that there is not enough reserve
flour in storage to relieve the situation
materially, as far as they are con-
cerned. The bakers in Berlin and
other cities have announced that they
are unable longer TO finance their bus.

FRENCH MONEY BEHIND
SEPARATIST.-LLOYD GEORGE

Louisville, Ky.-When shown press
dispatches from Aix-la-C hapelle tell
ing of the Rhineland separatist move
ment. David Lloyd George, former
British premier, declared there was no
doubt French money was behind it.
From the first, he added, he had be-
lieved that the French invasion Of the
Ruhr was intended primarily to force
a breaking up of the reich. But. he
remarked, there is no PREPARATIONS in
that.

a letter to President Coolidge, which
was made public in st. Louis. The
letter was written by Mr.. Busch under
date of October Is.
In the letter Busch asserted that
the huge steel, oil and packing in
terests Of the country had financed
and advocated the enforcement of the
eighteenth amendment to sidetrack
government anti = trust proceedings
against them, and that only 21s pr
cent of the people of the United States
had had a voice in the enactment of
the law.
Busch declared that lax enforce
ment of the prohibition law has cor
rupted the federal service, uprooted
respect for law and has set back the
cause of temperance many years by
driving the illicit manufacture of in
tOxicants into the home and by flood
ing the country with struggled liquors,
many of which are dangerous to the
public health.
He said that when his representa-
tive presented evidence of widespread
violation of the VOlstead act to en-
forcement officials at Washington AN
officer, whom he did not name, adj
mitted that "the department has be-
come so corrupt that it could not en-
force the law"
