ON WEATHER

The influence which the ocean has upon
the weather is very great. The study of
the waters of the oceans" " declares Lieut..
Comdr. George E. Brandt Of the u. S.
Navy, will yield results worth millions
of dollars to the agriculture and industry
of the nation, because from this study we
can get a better understanding Of the
weather, and will probably be able to
predict the weather a year in advance,
especially the periods of rainfall and
drought and their duration" C1mdr.
Brandt say; that the waters of the ocean
are a great reservoir for storing and dis
tributing the heat which comes from
the solar radiation. During each hour of
sunshine more heat is added to this great
reservoir. This heat in turn is given off
again by the ocean, influencing very
materially the weather over land and sea.
Observations made by the Smithsonian
Institution show that The radiationOf the
sun varies considerably from time to time.
1t is this variation, say Comdr Brandt,
which makes the study of weather so
complicated. "Since the waters Of the
ocean act as an intermediate reservoir, "
he says, the full effect of a change IT,
solar radiation is not felt until some years
after the change takes rIacc. The wealth
e. for the years 1857 has already been
largely determined by the heat stored in
the waters from solar radiation darin4
the years 192l-24. ibid.

crease IN serious Illness and death from
alcoholic poisoning lends added interest to
the hearings on the Cramton bill nov be-
ing conducted in Washington. A prOhi-
bition official has just told the Senate
Committee on Judiciary that something
like 6. 900, 600 gallons of Government de-
natured alcohol is drunk annually In the
United States" %Ihereupon Senator
Reed exclaimed: Il want to state right
here that the practice of adding poison to
pure alcohol by the prohibition agents,
who know full well that one out OF every
ten gallons will be used as beverage by
The American people, is wicked, lnta-
nous and most damabIe."
With reservations, it is possible to en-
dOrse Senator Reeds rather monument
ly violent accommodation. To some minds
his opinion carries with it the conclusion
not apparently shared by Senator Reed
himself, that whenever alcohol is needed
for any legitimate purpose whatever, re-
cognized as such by law, it should be non
POISONOUS and free from the Impurities
added under the various denaturing for
muIar. The objec ion will Immediately
be raised that if boJtleggers now run the
risk of purveying 5000, 900 gallons OF de,
natured alcohol; tneir operations would
be on a much larger scale were they able
to obtain pure alcohol instead. If this
were an inevitable conclusion the Gov
eminent would still nOt be absOlved from
its responsibility for protecting ignorant,
ilI-aGviSed and reckless citizens rom
sudden death, for it is not sufficient
merely to issue warnings of danger when
the prohibition unit is not able to give
full practical effect to such warnings.
There is, however, a pos ibIe method
whereby denatured alcohol can be entire
Iy eliminated from sale with Govern
ment sanction without offering undue
encouragement to boOtleggers to enlarge
the scope Of their operations. Any
such change in practice should be &C
companied by a change in the methods
of taxing alcohol. The excuse for a tax
free nom beverage alcohol ended with the
passage OF prohibition act. High taxes
imposed upOn pure alcohol at a time
when it could be used for beverage
purpose have also acquired a different
status since the passage OF the prom
bitiOn laws. These remnants O pre-
Voisteadism have now NOT on'y lost lAelr
original excuse for being but, as matters
stand. a direct incentive is offered by
the Federal law to the bo0tIegging OF the
tax free dangerous product. While the
users of the pure product, for medical
and other purposes must continue to pay
very high taxes.

a short chase.
And as be stood painting by his

He turned the prisoner over TO
passing motorist.
Guard him with your life," advised
the officer. Then he asked a fire /

Homen then crept into the lee Of

SAYS HE'S TIRED
LIVING SO LONG
Clark Shearer, IS, Tries
Suicide for Second Time
by Cutting Throat.
SAYS HE WANTS TO DIE
Asks Physicians at Hospital
to 'Leave Him Alone; Give
Hopes For Recovery.

] There are to attitudes to take to-
wards advanced age, as was pointed
out last week, and Clark Shearer, IS,
of 1872 Pomeroy street, took the sec
ond of the two - the pessimistic, re-
morseful attitude. Today Shearer
lies in critical condition at Kenosha
hospital after six stitches had been
sewed in his neck by Dr. o. w. Nc
Clusky on Saturday night. He had
attempted suicide shortly after 6
o'clock Saturday evening by cutting
his throat with razor at his home
on Pomeroy street.
Shearer has gone through many
years of troubled existence, just bare
ly being able to make both ends meet
in his advanced age. Such life, he
told his friends, had very little hold
out for hint was holding back from
him, he was inclined to think. But
the aged man had no argument with
nature; he realized that he had lived
his best days, and he could see moth
ing but misery in front of him.
AIAeu 0uICIue DelOIes
He evolved this peculiar philosophy
of living some time ago, and on one
occasion year ago he made his first
attempt to take his life - also unsuc-
cessfuL Shearer, according to his
friends, never forgot his failure at
that time and just recently he has
been brooding until on Saturday night
he determined to try it again.
No witnesses have been found who
saw him commit the act, but accord
ing to an investigation conducted by
Police Captain Emil Clausen, Officers
Henry Fenske, Edward Pecan and Ed.
Radatz, it appeared that Shearer had
gone to the bathroom when he was
alone in his home on Saturday even
ing, cut his throat with a razor and
then walked to the rear door of the
house where he toppled over.
William Kitto, who lives at 1870
Pomeroy street, next door, was the
first to see the man after he had fall
len. He called the police and in a
few minutes the man was in the
hospital.
Begged to be Left Alone.
At the hospital DR.. McClusky was
called to treat him. According to the
doctor Shearer pleaded with him not
to do anything to help him. II want
to de-" he said, But through quick
attention Shearer's wound was SO
fixed ~ that today there were ex-
pressed hopes that he would recover
He had cut his throat coming within
fraction of an inch of the w.ndpipe,
severing all of the muscles of the
windpipe and suffering greatly from
loss of blood.
1t is believed that after few days
rest at the hospital, when he will be
able to regain a portion of his
strength he will be releaaed to return
to his home.

FILES SUIT FOR.
CRASH DAMAGES
Thomas Kraak Sues VIM.
Marshall for $500 Fol-
lowing Accident.
CHARGES NEGLIGENCE

William Marshall is made defendant
in a damage suit filed in circuit court
today by Thomas Kraak in which the
latter seeks the sum of $500 for dam
ages which he alleges he suffered as
the result of an automobile collision.
The complaint declares that on
August %, 1925, the Kraak car was
driving north on Sheridan road south
of the city and was stopped because
of engine trouble. Kraak drove over
to the extreme right side of the high
way and was in the act of fixing his
engine when, the complaint alleges,
William Marshall, driving another
car from the south Gin a careless and
reckless manner zigzagged upon the
highway, driving at a rapid and
dangerous rate of speed in excess
Of forty miles per hour"
Car Is Smashed.
In the collision Kraak declares his
car was wrecked, enumerating the de-
tailed damages: Rear axle broken, gas
tank crushed in, left rear wheel broken
or, left rear fender damaged beyond
repair, tire carrier broken, chassis
bent, body dented, doors broken, top
smashed, glass smashed, one tire dam
aged, front seat torn loose from body,
and the entire car was completely
wrecked, making it unfit for use, and
depriving the plaintiff with use Of the
car in his business.
Damages totaling $500 are sought
from Marshall, the driver of the other
car.
The suit recalls another case in
which William Marshall was the de-
PENDANT. A year ago he was charged
with the murder of his father, but was
acquitted by jury after long trial.

Both Had Big Rolls.

The two were placed under arrest
and brought to the county Jail. They
gave their names as Hugh 0'Rourke
and Jack Shea, and they offered bills
of sale to show that they were the
legitimate owners of the property, they
said. But Sheriff Willems was inclined
to think otherwise. The license on the
car was found to have been issued to
one Axel Severson at Madison. Com
municaticn with Madison revesled the
fact that he had sold the car to the
Studebaker garage in Madison and
they in turn had sold it to O'Rourke.
Sheriff Willems Immediately got in
stouch with Green Bay authorities for
a description of fur goods stolen from
store in that city several weeks ago,
and an attempt will be- made to find
where the two men held here secured
their articles. They could not give a
satisfactory account of their past
wanderings, the sheriff said, and for
that reason he was holding them on
suspicion until they should be cleared
or until some charges may be found to
place against them in connection with
the goods found in the car.
