presentation Of the play "The Amer
lean Flag" by local players under the
auspices of the Grand Army and
American Legion. The military at

scene was made attractive with vines
and flowers. The play itself was
strong one and the various parts well
taken. An orchestra Of local players
furnished music. The Legion quar-
tet sang bewteen the acts and Mars,
ters York sang 1.-THE Trumpeter"
between the first and second acts.

Another pet theory Of the when I
was a boy" group has been dIspelled.
Grandpa can say, We don't have
winters like We had when was a
boy" all he wants to, but he can't
prove 1t, J. H. Arlington, United
States meteoroloeist for Indianapolis,
viii tell you the contrary Is true. Fur
thermore. he VIII show you an eye
glimmering stack of figures to. prove
that no matter how disappointing, he
IS right.
Here's the dope: The winter of
i917-1e1S was the coolest since 1872.
The wiz -er Of 1880 was the warmest.
1T is true that weather conditions
undergo periodical changes over a
period Of years. Arlington said.
There Is no permanent change. how
ever as abnormally warn periods
balance the abnormally cold seasons.
Just now 1t appears we are entering
upon a period Of abnormally cold
winters"
Snow Isn't Vanishing Either
To support this SIT cement he showed
that from 1883 to 1855 winters were
below normal. The same was true
from 1901 to 1905. Then came a su-
per-warm period lasting until 1909.
The departure from normal from then
until 1913 aIternated above and BE-
low
Reactions for year to year are not
regular as commonly believed. Arnit-
age said. Out OF fifteen warm winters
between 1872 and 1910, six cold
springs followed. six were average

We're average and six were warm
Twelve cold winters were followed
by three cold springs, six average
springs and three warm springs. OF
the winters that followed.s six were
cold, one was average and five were

have been twenty winters in which

average in seventeen of them. 1t hap
pens that since 1917-1S the fall has
been less than the average. but in the
five years preceding 1918 it was
more.
Why We Think It's MiIder
The greatest amount of snow to fall
was in 1928, when 40.1 inches float
ed to the ground. This figure was
approached, however, in 1894, when
1913 inches fell, and again in 1918,
when 32.S inches fell.

people believe winters are not get
ting milder," Armitage said. The rea-
son is they remember the outstanding
cold winters In their early life and
forget the others. A few inches of
snow looks deeper to a youngster
than to an adult.
Moreover, we are better protected
nowadays Our homes are built bet
ter, we have better clothing, better
heating systems, and we go about In
closed cars. Another misleading In
dication is the fact that corn is grown
farther and farther into the North
west from year to year. But, 1t is
not because the winters are warmer
that the corn thrives. It Is because
the corn is becoming acclimated to
weather conditions.
Street Car Conductor Is Wrong
people who move their homes
form false impressions, also. Natu-
rally, winters are more severe in the
North, and If people move South they
should realize 1t will be warmer"
All of which refutes the statement

ARE WOMEN OVERWORKED

Yes, hundreds Of thousands OF them
are This applies to the housewife and
mother who struggles on small income
to make both ends meet by doing all tn,
washing. ironing, cooking, making and
mending for a large family. There are
others who not only support themselves
working in factories, shops, stores and
offices. but often have an invalid father
or mother to support, therefore do house
work besides. These are the women
who break down early and are afflicted
with various forms of female weakness.
Ninety-eight out Of every 100 women
who have tried Lydia E. Pinkham's
