R|BALD WEDDINGS SCORED BY PRIEST
Guests Often Like PaganS, Pastor Declares In AS-
 sailing RoWdyiSm

NEW YORK, Nov. Making fools of newlyweds" has resulted in rowdyism and levity at marriage ceremonies that makes a ribaid af- fair out of a service in which sacred joy should be a dominant note, the Rev. Father Dr. John l.. BelfOrd of the Roman Catholic Church of the Nativity said yesterday. Actions of wedding guests have become so in appropriate, he said, that last week a priest had to threaten to jail a "lady rowdy" who attended we'd ding Tt his own church.
 For pagans, the manners of some of the members of our churches --crld be bad; for Catholics, they are fnGefensible," said Father Belford. Why do people try to make fools of the newlyweds? Why should ri baIdry and rowdyism characterize a wedding, with such stunts as the flinging of rice and placardins of carriages? Those things are repug- nant to the average bridegroom and bride. following the sacredness of a wedding ceremony, and they are re- pugnant to any one with fine sensi- blties who witness them.
 In my church a few days ago a woman so far forgot her place and the sacredness of the occasion as to fling rice at the bride as she came down the aisle of the church. Her act of irreverence brought a priest to her side in protest.
 CT am not Catholic, was her only defense. When told that nv church teaches bad manners, she left the building with a threat that she would never enter a Catholic church again. We hope she never does."
 Catholics are no different from followers of other creeds. Father Belford said, though the offender in the incident mentioned did not hap pen to be one. Many talk and laugh during mass, he declared, and their attitude toward newly married couples and their actions at weddings have often obscured ceremonies which are meant to be most sacred. The throwing of rice and old shoes is particularly objectionable, he said.
 Father Belford had no fault to find with the dress of women of his congregation, holding that, for the most part, they were both conserva- tive and sensible. His remarks on manners were echoed by Miss Irene Krake, president of St. Marys Junior Auxiliary.

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.--(By As sociated Press. .)-Pay no attention to forecasts of next winters weather or predictions of weather conditions for long periods in the future, Is the ad- vice of the weather bureau.
 A prediction from New England that the looming winter will be the coldest and snowiest winter in his tory" In that section of the country has led the government officials to disclaim any responsibility for the forecast. The weather bureau does not attempt to issue predictions even of a general character for weeks or months in advance. The. subject of forecasting for seasons or consider able periods ahead has long engaged the attention of meteorological scien- lists, but thus far, weather experts here say no laws of sequences have been discovered whereby long-range forecasts of reliable character can be made.

ICELAND 5 | \ { TS IF FINE FISHING
Frigid Waters Yield Up Her. ring And Cod Fish In
 Great Numbers

COPENHAGEN. Nov. 1o.-(By Asso- ciated s.)IWe all have heard about the Iceland of old, the land of the. sagas and eddas and of mighty warriors, but very few know about modern Iceland, though the tale of her recent development and the great plans for harnessing her great natural powers and resources make just as interesting reading as those old sagas.
 Icelands minister to Denmark, Sveinn Bjornsson. tells of the won derful resources of his country. Some of these are highly developed, others are barely tapped, and some have not been touched at all Among the for mer are the fishing grounds. the rich est In the world. Six weeks recently produced as export surplus of 45,- 100000 pounds of herring. The Ice land herring contains a higher per centage of fat than any other herring and is much sought after, particular .ly in the Scandinavian countries. only the finest herring are exported, and before export are subject to close in spection by government agents. A small quantity goes to the United States.
 Cod Fishery.
 The cod fishery is. however, the greatest industry of Iceland. During 1921 no less than 27,500 tons of dried and salted cod were exported chiefly to Great Britain and the Mediter- ranean countries.
 The export trade. of Iceland was In danger of being seriously interfered with through the refusal of Spain and Portugal to allow imports of Ice landic fish as long as the import into Iceland of Spanish and Portuguese wines was barred by the Icelandic prohibition act, but now a working agreement has been arrived at and Spain and Partuga1 have both signed trade agreements with Iceland In the most fav vored nation" form.
 For the Icelandic farmers, salted lamb and sheep make the biggest ex- port article. Denmark and Norway are the chief markets for this com modity, which is used in provisioning ships. The quality of Icelandic lamb and sheep Is excellent. the natural consequence of the wonderful grazing grounds in the mountains where the animals browse all the summer. ,

FARM CROPS CAIN .AS ACRES DECL |NE
Number Of Acres Cultivated Less, But Production
 Is Greater

MADISON, Wis, Nov. 1e.-(By Asso- Tciated Press.)-Agricultur produc- tion in the United States during the last decade has increased, although the number of acres in agriculture has gone back to a more economical complied by the institute for re- search in land economics and public utilities, with headquarters here.
 The study indicates a return of agriculture to normal conditions by the steady increase in population, and includes a comparison of the incease in population with the interest in land devoted to agriculture.
 The farm area increased only ap- proximately 9 per cent from 1910 to 1920. and most of this was in the semi-arid states" the summary de- clares. There were fewer acres in farms in 1920 than in 1910 in many of the states In the corn belt and in virtually all the states east of the Mississippi river.
 Part of this. decrease is accounted for by errors in former enumeration, and in the south by failure to include woodland as part of the farm area The growth of cities, development of factories, industries, mining and the increase in highways and railroads account for the remaining decrease"
 More significant is the permanent reversion of farm land to forest and brush because it was not fit for agriculture" the summary continues. fThroughout the eastern section land has gone bac kto a more economical use. The last census reveals an in crease of 5. per cent in area of improved land but an increase of 35 per cent in unimp coved land. The in- crease In unimproved land is almost equal in acres to the increase in all farm land. The significant fact is that production has maintained and even increased by more intensive utiliza- tion of the better lands and less in- tenstye use of poorer lands"

 GENEVA, Nov. 10.-(By the Asso- ciated Press.)--In no European town are the regulations on circulation, both for roads and sidewalks more strictly enforced than in Geneva. M. Hanotaux, Frances representative for the League of Nations and Quinones de Leon, Spain's representative, had this fact brought to their attention the other day. They were so deep In a discussion that when crossing street, they came to halt and con- tinued their argument in the middle of the road, needless of the desperate gesticulations by the nearest police man..
 Here, you two, do you suppose that sidewalks were made for dogs only?" asked the officer as he came up to them.
 Both men came back to reality with a shock.
 Do you know whom you are ad- dressing?"
 The officer laid a hand on each.
 'I should worry, the sidewalk for yours"
 But, Monsieur. I represent France on the council of the League of Ma tions."

 A broad grin passed over the policemans face as he replied:
