Changes in Energy of the Sun Have
Marked Effect on Earth Temperature
Weather Predicted Ahead
of U. S. Department
by Astronomer.
BY David Dietz


" DIRECT connection between
IA weather conditions in North
America and the amount OF
heat radiated by the sun has been
worked out.
This is today's most important
news from the frontier of science.
1t Is important because an
eventual complete understanding OF
the connection between the sun and
our weather will enable us to fore
cast the weather as much as a year
in advance.
DIR. H. H. Clayton. former head
of the Argentine Weather Bureau.
shows that a change in the amount
Of energy radiated by the sun affects
the barometer and thermometer
readings in Northern Canada on the
same day.
The effect is felt along the At
lantic coast at Boston and New
York about three days later.
Strangely enough. n decrease In
the energy radiated by the sun is
accompanied by an increase in
earthly temperature. Just why this
paradox should exist is not known.
AS a test OF his theory. DR.. Clay
ton has been making a forecast OF
the temperature Of New York City
several days in advance for the
Smithsonian Institution at Washing
ton.
The institution reports that on
the average he comes very close to
predicting the actual temperatures
which later occur in New York on
the day specified in his forecast.
Hf~ HE great American banana
myth" Scientists are talk
IL ing about it now.
It is not. as one might expect. a
scientific investigation of the once
popular song about the alleged ba-
mana shortage.
It's a discussion precipitated by
the finding of fossil banana seeds in
a coal mine in Colombia.
Certain scientists declare that this
proves the banana originated on the
American continent.
But DIR. w. E. Stafford of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture disagrees.
Stafford says that the banana was
unknown on this content when Co.
lumbus arrived here and that the
home of the banana Is the Malay
Archipelago.
n CHEMISTS have known for a
long time that mineral mat

system was removed from many

steamed.

Danger Of over production with a

The survey indicates tkat at the
end of 1924 building had gone ahead
of the demand for the first time in
several years. II also indicates that
construction need now only meet the
normal demand and that the continual

has characterized the last three wears

GREEKS TO PRESS
PATRIARCH ISSUE
Claim Turkey Has Admitted
Jurisdiction of Council by
Explanatory Letter.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, March 11-An extraordi-
nary situation has arisen over the
expulsion of the Greek patriarch,
Constantinos, from Constantinople
through the receipt of a long letter
from Turkey by the council of the
League of Nations in which the An
CORA government argues that the de-
portation was justified. AS Turkey
previously had asked the council not
to discuss the patriarch question be-
cause it was purely internal and the
council without jurisdiction. the
Greek delegation has seized upon the
letter as showing that Turkey pirtu-
ally admits the competency of the coun-
ell by arguing the case in its 1o-page
communication. -
Deny Turkish Report. -------
A Greek spokesman said today
that under the circumstances the
case becomes a juridical question
which should be submitted to the
Permanent Court of Information Il
Justice. The Greeks declare they will
urge such a procedure unless the dis
pute is settled outside the council.
They deny the Turkish report that
tho Holy Synod of the Orthodox
Church has agreed to elect a new pa
triarch.
Meantime today's public meeting of
the council was sort of field day
for the World Court Both Greece
and Turkey accepted the courts re-
cent decision interpreting the con-
vention for the compulsory exchange
of populations and dwelt upon the
Importance they attached to the
courts judgments.
The council adopted a resolution
offered by Viscount Ishii expressing 6
the hope that the mixed commission
supervising the exchange of popula
tions would share the councils high
opinion of the world courts au-
thority.
