OCEAN RAIN GAUGE
SCIENTISTS PREDICT PREciPITA-
 TON BY WARMTH OF SEA

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 10-There is a direct relation between the tcmpora- ture of the ocean and the seasonal rainfall in the same region according to George F. McEwen, of the biologi- cal institute at La Jolla, Calif., who has reached this conclusion after ex- tended research.
 Using this theory MT. McEwen has predicted that the rainfall in San Di- ego and vicinity this year would be five inches more than the average for the last eight years. According to the hypothesis, low summer tempera- lures in the ocean mean increased rain fall in the winter and higher temper atures indicate less precipitation
 "The moisture of the air over the North Pacific ocean," explained MT. McEwen, "is continually replenished by evaporation from the ocean sur face. The amount of the water vapor available for precipitation upon the land is proportional to the mass of air flowing in from the ocean.
 It has long been known that a high pressure area over the North Pacific, centered 1000 miles or more west of San Luis Obispo, reaches it's maxi mum intensity in late summer and diminishes till about February when in some years it disappears entirely and again increases to summer maximum. Therefore, a summer in which the ocean high" is relatively great, should be followed by a rela- tiively great transfer of air landward during the winter or rainy season. Numerous barometric observations over the ocean, suitably distributed both in space and time, would serve to determine the amount of air form ing the Pacific high. ForeknowIedge of the amount of air available for transfer landward would indicate in advance whether to expect a wet or dry season."
 Mr. McEwen said his observations had indicated that a change in ocean temperature of one degree Fahren- heit corresponded on the average to a difference of two inches in rain over the coastal region of Southern Cali fornia.

SMOKING IS SMART
THAT'S WHY WOMEN DOl SAYS
 FAMOUS GYNEcOLOGIST

VIENNA, Dec. 10.-Heavy and sat- isfied women almost never smoke, in the opinion of Dr. Hofstetter, gyne- cologist, who some time ago created a stir by his assertion that smoking alters women's faces making them look masculine instead of feminine.
 "Women who smoke much have al most invariably contracted the habit at time when they were unhappy he says in his book, 'The Smoking Woman"
 Women regard smoking as some thing smart.'" he continued ''Smok- ing affords them an opportunity of executing a large number of playful movements. It is a significant fact that the smoking woman is much more concerned about the motions she goes through as she smokes than is the man, for whom the accompa- nying movements, such as the play of his features bear the character is automatic and unconscious"

{ " ART NOW NORMAL
GERMANY NOW SHUNS BIZARRE
 EXHIBITIONS

BERLIN, Dec. 9.-There is decid- ed return to normalcy in German art, if this years jury-free exhibition in the Berlin Glass Palace is any crite- rion. This is freefor-all exhibition in which no jury passes in advance upon what may be exhibited or what should be- excluded. It's founders pro- pose to give every artist chance to show the public what he has done. The excellent birdseye view of cur rent tendencies in German art
 What strikes one especially at this years exhibition is the fact that among the TIPS works exhibited, there are very few of cubist or oth CT freakish nature. There seems to be even a return to the impression istic school This is especially true of landscape painting, which is for the most part as realistic as the work of Lieberman or Corot. Younger ar lists like Ernst Honigberger or Gus
 
 a sharper contrast of color than did the earlier generation of German ar lists.
 The preponderance of conservative canvasses does not mean, however, that there are not many attempts at art which strike the layman as bi- zarre. There are pictures for in- stance, destined for church altars, which are so ugly that one wonders how the originator ever expected to make religious propaganda with them. Similarly, several sculptors have in- flicted upon the public statues of wo- men who are fat, unproportioned and homely
 But they are rather the exception On the whole there is an attempt to get away from pronounced freakish- ness and to make only such depart ures from old and accepted standards as the layman can follow.
