CAUSE OF HEAVY FLOODS
Tiny Spot OFF Coast of Green
land Is Blamed For Re-
cent Disturbances
By LARRY BoARDMAN

WASHINGTON, May 81. ~ OFF
the coat of Greenland, in spot
that isn't good for much else any
how, the weather for most Of the
United States is made.
When thi spot remain off the tip
of that country in the sprirgtime,
we have normal weather.
But it has slipper south and west
That's what has caused rain or
the Atlantic seaboard, floods ar
tornadoes in the the central states
and now as far away as the Da-
kotas, says Major Edward H. Bowie,
supervising forecaster Of the U. S,
Weather Bureau.
Thi slipping spot is known as the
normal low pressure area.
How does a low pressure area gov
en- the weather?
When the air in a given region is
warmed it becomes lighter, forming
a low pressure area. Heavier, cold
err air rushes in. The warm air
with its quantity Of moisture is
forced higher.
There it is cooled and condensed
its capacity for holding moisture is
less and the moiture forced out III
the form or rain and snow.
But the cold air rushing toward
a low pressure area does not go in
a straight line. Due to the citation
of the earth it veres to the right.
So the colder current headed to-
ward the Greenland low pressure
area instead Of sweeping by the
United States as they usually do are
sweeping over the country on tfeif
way from the pole to the low pres
sure area.
These currents have chilled the
country and forced the moisture out
Of the air, giving Us our present
weather.
West of the Rockies the condi-
ton has been the reverse.
The Pacific low pressure area has
moved from the tip of Alaska to-
ward the Japanese coast.
The colder air currents in their
race to this place have missed the
Pacific coast. The al there re-
mains warm, holding its moisture
and causing the drought.
at is impossible to predict
weather conditions months ahead, %
Bowie says, "but I wilt say it is
almost certain that the weather vii
return to normal. Weather condi-
to abnormal, then back into normal
tions are like pendulum, swinging
again-and just in the course of
natural events this pendulum is due
to reach the normal point in its
swing"

Spectacles Lost By Loeb Boy
Leads to Unraveling of Muir
der of Robert Franks
CHISEL USED IN MURDER
Both Boys Under Arrest Are
Members of Wealthy Fam
lies in Chicago

CHICAGO, May 31.Robert Z.
Grove, states attorney for Cook
county, announced today Nathan e.
Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb,
youthful members Of wealthy Chica-
go families, both post-graduates Of
the University Of Chicago have con
fesed they kidnapped and murdered
Robert Franks, Jr., the 14-year-old
son of a retired millionaire manu-
factuer, was killed by the Leopold
and Loeb boys, according to Grove,
in an automobile. Both accuse Tie
other Of striking the blow that end
ed young Franks life. The weapon
used was chisel, and the motive,
1.-THE boys told the states attorney wa
to obtain a ramon from the Franks
boys father.
Leopold was entirely calm as he
made hi confession, Grove aid, and
after making his statement to the
States attorney posed to newspaper
photographer. A minute later he
calmly lighted a cigfarette which he
smoked contentedly.
Young Loeb, who is a son Of the
vice preident Of Sears-Roebuck
Co., appeared most affected, but he
did not seem crushed by the dis
covery OF his connection with the
crime. m
Grove announced that the Franks
boy was struck with chisel as the
three youths youths sat together in
a rented automobile and a gag was
ohen thrust into his mouth by his
captors and he was later strangled.
The Leopold and Loeb bows were
arrested last night and held fer
questioning after records Of an UptI-
cal company revealed that the glass
es, regarded a one OF the principal
clues in the case, are similar to those
sold to Leopold. He told question
ers he had purchased a pair last
fall because of headaches, but had
discarded them later. Officers who
searched for the glasses, he aid,
were at hi home, found only the
case and Leopold was unable to ac-
count for their disappearance.
Previous to their confession
Leopold and Loeb told substantially
the same story Of their activities on
May 81, the day the Franks boy
vanished. They said they drove to
the business district in Leopold car
for luncheon, later going to the park
TO study the birds. After dinner,
according to Leopold, they took an
automobile ride with two girls
known to them as Edna and May.
An attempt was being made to
find these girls tonight.
Leopold was shown the ransom
letter and asked if he could have
written such a missive. He said ne
could have written a better orc,
pointing out that kidnapping was
spelled with two "p's". Among his
papers the police found a note ad
dressed to "Dick" in which it was
asserted that "even though we have
differences, we must appear friend
.ly to preserve appearance"
No explanation of the fetter was
made public.
Young Leopold is the son Of Ma
than Leopold, paper box manufac-
turer, and Albert H. Loeb, vice pres
ident of a Chicago mail order house,
is the other boys father. The
families Of the youths rallied 70
their support today and while in
sisting that the boys were not con-
cerned in any way in the Staying,
offered the police every aid in the
Investigation.

Most dramatic of Savoy's efforts to gain possession of Geneva was the Escalade.' In 1902, while appar- ently friendly toward the city, the duke of Savoy sent has soldiers at night with ladders to scale Geneva's s walls. The intruders were discover ed, many killed, and the rest driven out. When Geneva became the stronghold of the Reformation, the Protestant Rome,' its relations with Catholic Savoy were even more strained. Alliance with cities of the Swiss Confederation afforded protec- tion however, and the city held its own.
 Modern Geneva, besides being the scat of the League of Nations, draws to its confines thousands of visitors and even permanent residents from many lands, and so is in more senses than one an international city. As- tride the Rhine where it dashes from Lake Geneva, the city is most pie turesquely situated. At it's door the lake furnishes a delightful pathway to some of the most beautiful scenery and some of the most delightful re- sorts in Switzerland"

LEGION IN ARIZONA IS
MAKING BIG GAINS

The sensational membership gains
made by the American Legion IN Arl-
zona last year are more than likely
to be exceeded by the 1924 increase, If
one can count on the showing made
since the first Of the new year, ac-
cording to Neri Osborn, Jr., depart
ment adjutant.
Arizona won second place in the
national membership drive of 1928 and
came within an ace Of capturing the
Hanford J. McNider trophy, being on
" slightly outpointed by the Georgia
department. Coming so close to the
goal has inspired the Legionnaires OF
Arizona to greater efforts than ever
before, with the result that post offlc-
ials as well as those of the state de-
partment are working to the end of
counting as a member of the Legion,
every man who saw service IN the
World war.
~ see no reason why Arizona
should not capture the membership
cup at the next national convention"
said Adiutant Osborn. Membership
renewals are coming in with surpris-
ing promptness and volume for so
early in the year, indicating that the
American Legion is live proposition
in every city and town in the state. If
the good work goes on there is no
question Of the ability of our depart
ment to forge to the front as it has
done in the past and claim the high
est point of supremacy"
Department officials are particular
ly gratified over the membership re-
turns from the Yuma, Hayden and
Phoenix posts. Yuma captured the
C. M. Stoddard cup for greatest post
membership gains in the state con-
test last year and is now leading the
race for the 1924 honors. Hayden
has received Al renewals and is the
first post to report 100 per cent of
the membership of last year. Phoenix
is making remarkable gains in new
members and much interest is shown
in the social and welfare program fol-
1924. This was demonstrated recent
ly when more than 700 ex-service men
and their families attended one of the
regular monthly get-together occas-
! ions.

DON'T WANT THEM

A recent decision regarding the nat
uralization of aliens, who, during the
war pleaded exemption on the grounds
of noncitizenship, was made by Fed
eral Court Judge Bledsoe of the
southern district of California. The
Judge believes that such aliens are to
be regarded as having demonstrated
a disloyal and unacceptable attitude
toward this country and should be be
looked upon undesirable acquisitions
to the United States. "By implica-
tion," says Judge Bledsoe, "such an
attitude would continue to exist as
long as their obligation to serve their
country existed and they continued to
decline it." Therefore, the judge be
lieves, such applications should be re-
jected.

MOBILE, Ala.-In order to prevent
imposters from soliciting funds un-
der the guise of world war veterans,
the Mcleod post of the American Le-
gion is assisting business men here
by unique method.
When solicitors appear in the busi-
ness houses with a plea for help on
account of being disabled service men,
they are handed a card supplied by
the Legion post which reads: eff you
are an ex-service man or Legionnaire
seeking help or employment, go to
the post commander, or service officer
of the American Legion. If the sol
icitor is found worthy of help after
investigation, the local post will make
the necessary arrangements" This
plan has been approved by Mobile
business men and is said already to
have had good effects.

Next time the dog approached her he

ican flag in face of the enemy during
battle will be commemorated by the
Utica post of the American Legion.
The emblem, raised in 1777, was first
flown at Fort Stanwix in this city.
This event will be celebrated by a
huge military celebration under aus
pices of the Legion post, in the year
1927, plans for which are already be-
ing laid.
