It will be seen by these figures
that the Cleveland Indians only
thanks to their four wins in row
on the Griffs' swing through the
West, have much of an edge over
the Washington entry. The Boston

Sunday, have one-game margin,

Dropping the first two to the

any Eastern club on the tour.

CLEAR WEATHER
AHEAD, SAYS
BUREAU
Clouds to Break Tomorrow,
Is Forecast-Sun to Shine
a Few Days

After two and one.half months of
abnornally rainy weather, a break
and clear skies are in prospect
for few days-the Weather Bureau
announced today.
The clouds will begin breaking
away tomorrow. and for the next
two or three days clear weather
Is forecast.
mo forecasts for more than three
days ahead can be guaranteed" is
a policy of the bureau, to which
resort is made when an opinion
as to weather conditions is sought.
This line was dragged out, busted
off, and politely advanced today
when the bureau officials were asked
whether the rain was over, and the
remainder of the spring would be
more nearly normal.
The amount of rainfall this spring
has been unusually heavy, the
records Of the bureau show. Since
March 1 there has been a total
rainfall Of 1913 inches. This IS
6.44 inches above normal for this
period, but is by no means a record
for the season.
Inc SlHCS WAY has
totaled 4.21 inches, approximately
2 inches above normal for the
nineteen days.
"The precipitation during May
has been above normal, but it is
not unusually severe" the officials
at the bureau reported after con.
sulting the records. ''The rains
have been frequent and sometimes
fairly heavy, but they have not
been of long duration
The cause of the persistent rain.
fall is laid by scientists at the bu.
reAu to steady drift of air from
the south. This air, laden with
moisture, is condensed upon con.
tact with the colder air from the
north and rainfall occurs at the
point Of contact of the two cur.
rents.
No unusual meteorological phe-
nomena have been observed, the
bureau reports. AS a result of the
continual rains the air has remained
cool along the Atlantic coast, and
summer weather is delayed several
weeks, the bureau records show.
While the weather ashore is un-
usually lHCLSHueIIl' the OFFICIALS re-
ports conditions at sea are far
milder than usual. The steamer
lanes are entirely free of icebergs
which usually menace shipping at
this season. The water off the
coast is several degrees warmer
than Is usually the case.
The Coast Guard cutter Modoc.
which has been on Ice patrol duty.
today reported that the North At.
lantic steamer lane is entirely free
Of ice. Not a single berg was sight.
ed during the fifteen days the
Modoc cruised off the Grand Banks.

Number OF Measures Report
ed-PIan for Summer White
House Ignored

The prospect Of having a sum-
mer White House on the banks
Of the Potomac, opposite Mt. Yer
non, has gone glimmering.
A gift of $20O,O was left the
Federal Government for the pur-
chase Of site for the mansion to
be located in Maryland by J. Will
son Leakin, who died about eight
cen months ago. Unless the
money is definitely accepted by
Congress before June the bequest
will go to Peabody Institute of
Baltimore.
Offer Is Referred.
The Senate District Committee to-
day decided that it had no juris.
diction over the issue and referred
it to the committee on Public Build.
ings and Grounds; Of which Senator
Fernald is chairman. IT IL not
IlhcIy LudI any bclIOH WIAt US LdhGnI
because there has been no indica-
ton that Congress will ever ap.
prove the erection of a summer
White House in close proximity Of

The Senate District Committee
today reported favorably a large
number of routine District bills, in
GLIDING one to create the office Of
deputy recorder of deeds and to re-
wise the present system Of record
ing deeds and chattels; a measure
permitting Howard University to
acquire a new gymnasium and ath-

certain restrictions upon the re-
sale or use of milk bottles. cans.
crates and other containers in the
interest of preventing Hisbranding
or fraud; a bill permitting old civil
war foSts to be connected by high
way.
The compulsory school attendance
act, introduced by Senator Capper
and under consideration by Congress

DISTRICT ACCOUNTANTS
HEAR CLABAUGH TALK

William Clabaugh, president Of
the District Institute of Account
ants, told thirty.five members of the
organization of progress made dur.
ing the past year, at a get-together
dinner in the City Club, last night.
The local law to certify account
ants went into effect in February.
1923 and since that time the insti-
tute has striven to elevate the stan.
dards of the profession, said Mr..
Clabaugh. The organization is now
trying to get law to require cor.
porations to have their books
audited by a certified accountant
before stocks or bonds, as a protec.
ton to the public against frauds.
