play at the Murat at a Joint re-

Both Rea and Rosen record for
Brunswick. Here also is splendid
recording. There is a soothing value
to the playing Of Rosen on the

The latest announced Brunswick

LocaFizing the Weather
Germ

NMONG other things which Donald Mac
III MILAN hopes to discover in the northern
territory he will explore this summer is the
source of United States weather.
In attempting to track our weather to rs
lair, scientists have probed farther and farther
into the north. 1t has now been fairly we'll es-
tablished that our storms and fair weather
have their beginnings in the ~unexplored dis
trict north of Alaska.
Forecasting consists largely of detecting
new disturbances in the atmosphere as they
appear on the northern and western borders of
the United States, learning their characteris-
ties, and figuring out the paths they probably
will follow by means Of barometric conditions
ahead of them.
The United States Weather Bureau has
found that the great majority of Cows
areas Of subnormal barometric pressure-orig-
mate over the sea south of the Aleutian Islands
in the winter, and over the interior of Alaska
during the summer. But conditions which cause
these CLOVIS" to he built up there and to create
"highs" farther east are unknown, and the
answer to the problem lies hidden in the I'M
known territory between Alaska and the north
pole.
The Mac MILAN party will make prelimi-
nary reports on temperatures, pressures and
wind conditions over this region. AS soon as
exploration has advanced sufficiently, detailed
observations will be made, and when this is
completed there is every possibility that accu-
rate and early forecasts of storms, of inesti-
mable value to farmers and navigators, may
be made.
If land is discovered in the unexplored
area, establishment Of permanent weather OBJ
servation stations, further facilitating predic-
tions, will be possible.

Mars Has the Laugh

iTLHE World War was a total failure. 1t
l was ga war to end war" and wars have
beer happening with due regularity ever since.
1t was to "make the world safe for democ-
racy.'' And reaction was never more rampant
than it is today.
This is particularly true in Europe. Mill
tary cliques or relationships rule in Spain,
Italy, Turkey, Hungary, Bulgaria, Jugoslavia,
Greece, Roumania and Russia. Great Britain
has the most conservative government that she
has had for a long time, and France, having
swung back from reactionary Poincare to lib
eral Herriott, is again bound back toward con-
servatism.
The chief trouble with the World War as a
war to end war was that it Balkanized all Eur
ope. 1t definitely settled virtually no prob
lens at all, but created new ones which today
cry to high heaven for answer.
CounC Karolyi-the Hungarian x-presi-
dent whom our State Department muzzled
while in this country-warned his hearers in
Canada, where free speech was restored to him,
that the menace of another great bonfire hangs
over Europe and the Hohenzollerns he says,
still plot for power and reactionaries through
out the Old World are scheming for a return Of
the ancient order. .
Hardly had he uttered the words than
cables from Berlin announced the candidacy of
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg, monarchist,
for the presidency of Germany.
If elected he will turn the republic into a
camoudaged regency and hold it in trust for his
master at Doom.
No, the World War settled nothing. And
thus far all efforts by liberal governments to
do something concrete to prevent another, have
come to naught.
War parties are still pulling the wires be-
hind the scenes when not actually in the open
and half of the continent are busy laying
plans for remaking the map of Europe.
How Mars must be laughing up his
sleeve?

street car that is taking on or discharging pas
sengers. This means that a driver following
a street car must frequently make a number
of stops before he can get around it ON narrow
streets or on streets where automobiles are
parked.
Sometimes street cars stop suddenly and
the results may be disastrous, particularly if
the pavement is wet. Stop lights on street
cars would not be particularly expensive to
pany, and they might prevent serious acct
dents.

MARRIAGE
BY PROXY

Joseph VARGA of South
Bend, Ind, was married the
LJ other day, although his
bride is still in the old country
Hungary. She was represented
at the altar by proxy.
Frequently marriages are sol
emnized when the groom is not
there-at least not all there. At
best he is only a cipher at his
wedding. But It is not customary
for the bride to be missing.
In this case the hard-hearted
immigration law prevents tho
bride entering the country as a
single woman. but will admit her
as the wife Of a n~aturalized citi.
zen. Hence the. proxy wedding.
However, it may prove only a
dress rehearsal. Proxy weddings
are recognized institutions in many
countries. But American States
require the presence OF both par
ties to the contract, even though
half the partnership is in a state
Of coma.
So the proxy bride may be a
securely married woman, according
to the laws Of her country, while
her American bridegroom is as
free rs air legally.
Since the bars against aliens
we're raised American immigra-
ton authorities have been besieged
with proxy brides. In Havana.
Cuba, there is a regular colony Of
them awaiting admittance.
Foreigners may cuss America,
but apparently they are all trying
by hook or crook to enter this
despicable land. They must be
desperate when they are willing to
resort to matrimony to crash the
gate.
