All efforts to involve President

Believe it or not, Doctor L. Gentil-
Tippenhauer. honorary engineer of
the Haitian government and dis
coverer of long distance forecasting
OF weather conditions via astronomi-
cal calculations, says it's true.
Weather Bureau Studies.
And the United States Weather
Bureau, that skeptical organization,
is making a thorough study of
Doctor Tippenhauer's findings. The
Haitian scientist is in Washington
on short holiday, but he is taking
this opportunity to explain his
long -distance forecasting" to of
ncials of the Weather Bureau. While
in the Capital he is the guest of
former Congressman Charles A.
korbly of Indiana, at the latter's
home in Conduit road, Montgomery
couAty.
Doctor Tippenhauer is no fake.
He is one of the Leaders in scientific
research in the world, and his posi-
ton in the Haitian government
service Is the highest in his pro-
fession.
f1OW uOeS he 90 IL
Eliminating all reference to tech
nicalities, Doctor Tippenhauer ex-
planned that the present system of
weather forecasting-the method of
counting the sun spots and the
evaluation of the probable different
weight of their influence on the at
mosphere-is more or less arbi-
trary. At the most the scientist
can forecast the weather more or
less accurately for seven or eight
days.
Influene of Sun.
Doctor Tippenhauer, after years
of research, found that the influ-
ence of the sun upon the atmos-
nhere is not only the outcome of
the heat fluctuations, but the con-
sequence of changes Of purely cleo
trio character, to such an extent
that the precalculation Of the
weather on mere measurements of
heat variations must flatly fail as
totally insufficient"
He declared that the daily OBJ
servation of the surface of the sun
is not always possible on account of
tteudiness of our atmosphere. He
AYERS that by certain grouping of
the sun spots the electrical effect
can be ascertained by daily and
hourly observations Of magnetic
needle.
From the conclusions reached by
his studies, Doctor Tippenhauer de-
cided that sun spots and the cause
of weather" are both the result
of 1.-The crowtiing together. or the
dispersion, of the electromagnetic
lines of forces filling the inter
planetary electromagnetic field,
commonly called "ether."

PAPER BILL
FLOOD
PLANNED
Engraving Bureau to Print
Nearly a Billion During
Fiscal Year

The greatest paper money pro-
lduction program in the history of
the United States, exceeding even
the peak of the war time cur
rency production, is now being
launched at the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, according
to estimates completed by the
Treasury Department.
During the current fiscal year
the bureau will be called upon to
print $50, 1865, 200 bills of all de-
nominations, of which 76O,969, 200
will be required to meet current
demands of the nation. The re-
naming 10000, 900 bills will form
a bureau reserve which is to be
built up, beginning this year, to
permit resumption of the season
ing of bills to increase their wear
ing qualities.
Half Billion Cones"
Five hundred millions Of the bills
to be printed this year will be Of
the 81 denomination.
The demand for paper money in
the United States has been steadily
on the increase since the war, ind
the war period brought a great in.
crease over the previous peace
period.
During the fiscal year which
came to a close June 80, the to'al
production of paper money was
700. SIC 900 bills, more than 10000, 900
below the estimated current demand
for the present fiscal year. and
more than 1S0,000,000 below the
total program. including the Ie-
serve, authorized by Congress to be
printed this year.
Increase Each Year.
In 1924 the total production was
65S. 5S9, $3.50 bills. The ratio of in
crease was about the same fer
previous years.
The production for the next fiscal
year, beginning July l, 1925, prob
ably will increase to even greater
figures, according to preliminary
estimates now being prepared.
In 1927. however, when the
seasoned supply now being pre-.
pared as reserve will begin to
go into circulation, the printing
program probably will hall off
gradually, Treasury officials esti-
mate.
Before the war the average life
OF a 81 bill was estimated to be
about S35 days. During the wan
when the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing was called upon to print
the great Liberty Loan issues and
other war time paper. it was com.
PEELED to abandon the seasoning and
sizing operations and the quality
OF paper money Immediately de-
cHned.
Life Cut 81 Days.
vt Is estimated that the average
life Of 81 paper bill today Is about
26S days. Since the war the ap-
preparations by Congress for the
bureau have not been sufficient to
begin creation of a sufficient re.
serve Of paper money so that the
seasoning and sizing operations
could be resumed.
This program Is now getting
under way with funds made avail
able when the 1925 appropria tions
became available last Wednesday,

Modification of the BorIand

Of paving will be asked of Con-
gress in the fall, Engineer COM
missioner J. Franklin Bell, an
nounced today.
Colonel Bell plans the following
changes:
Elimination Of the assessment
system for repaving.
Qualification of the Borland
Amendment as applied to subur-
ban property.
Holds Tt Unfair.
The Commissioners declared today
he believed 1t unfair to place a
special tax for repaving.
why should property owners
pay one-half the cost of repaving
when this paving has become neces-
sary because of automobile and
other travel?'' asked Colonel Bell
today. The property owner is not
responsible for the condition Of the
street. The whole city is respon-
sible. -
Many streets are traversed by
large trucks, much to the incon-
venience of home owners. Not only
do these trucks wear out the, paw
ing quickly, but they likewise make
considerable noise Yet, under our
present system, owners of property
abutting the streets on which these
trucks pass are compelled by law to
pay one-half the cost of repawing
these same streets Tt is unfair
Congressman Protests.
Colopel Bell stated that he had
received a letter from a member
of Congress protesting against a
repaving assessment
Il replied I was glad to get the
letter and asked his cooperation in
getting the Borland amendment
modified" Colonel Bell said. This
Congressman declared the assess
ment was unjust. l agree with
him. but under the law there is
nothing else the city can do"
Colonel Bell pointeds out that the
recent Knox case clarified the
Borland amendment somewhat, but
not sufficiently. In the Knox case.
the property owners declared road
improvements made near their
property resulted In an assessment
greater than the value of their
property. They claimed confisca-
ton and won out in the courts
Suburban Law.
I'VE should have a clear cut law
for suburban property" Colonel
Bell said. 1T might be wise to
include in the law "a provision that
assessments for road improvements
should not exceed a certain per
cent of the assessment of the
abutting property. But we should
have the law clear"
