DECREASE IN TYPHOID.
Maryland Conditions Contrast
Strikingly With Those Elsewhere

Special Dispatch TO The Star
BALTIMORE. July 25.-A1though
typhoid fever has increased from SO
to 100 per cent throughout the coun-
try during the last six weeks, the
disease has decreased by one-third in
Maryland during the past year, ac-
cording to DR.. Robert H. Riley of the
State department of health.
DIR. Riley made this announcement
following discovery that the origin of
a case Of typhoid near New Windsor
Carroll County, has been traced to
Winona Lake, Ind, where the pa.
tient attended a convention. Several
other persons in Pennsylvania who
attended the same convention con.
tracted typhoid. Dr. Riley learned
from DIR. w. D. Draper, Assistant Sur
geon General of the United States
Public Health Service at Washington
DR.. Riley attributes the decrease OF
the disease in Maryland largely to
the use of typhoid vaccine.

IL Weather Doetors.

The main concern of most people
seems to be the weather They refuse
to leave 1t alone during any CONVEX
sation. 1t is the most abused, the
most condemned and the least app
preciated of any Of our American
institutions.
The weather prognostieators are
really at the bottom Of It, They
predict what the weather viii be and
generally miss it, The people who
watch the weather blame the wealth
er and forget the forecaster
But forecasters are only human.
Some admit it and others refuse to.
One says he would rather depend on
the "crinks" in grandfather's back
or the manifestations Of grandmoth-
er's rheumatism, than the long dis
lance prophecies Of the weather
men.
The forecast that we are in for a
cold winter should accordingly not
be given much weight in the consid-
GRAFTON of the evidence.
The principal reason for this pro-
phecy is the old belief that one ex-
IRENE follows another, and the hot
test summer in several years credit
ed to 1925 gives rise to this Coolest
winter" prediction
/ II this statement were true, how
/ ever, and the seasons ran to this
form each succeeding summer would
be hotter and each succeeding win
ter would be colder, until finally the
climate would become unbearabIe.
Several weather prophets who
delve into the musty almanacs and
weather records of long ago, predict
that in 1926 we will not have any
summer at all-that it viii be cool
and cloudy during the usual summer
months, in fact just like a certain
summer which we had 200 years or
so ago.
All prophets do not agree with
this prediction however, Prof. John
A. Curtin, a Buffalo scientist says
/ that the summer Of 1926 will be hot
ter than that of the present year He
bases his prediction on the study of
sun spots which he has been observ-
ing since 1871. As the spots increase
j the summers get warmer, he says,
and as they decrease the summers
are milder.
Prof Curtin is sure the country
will not have heatless summer be-
cause the sun spots are now APP
preaching their maximum, which will
be reached about June. 1927 That
should mean that it viii be 1880 be-
fore the average temperature be-
comes lower than it was this sum

World Series In Fact.

The annual October baseball
classic, in which the champions Of
the American and National Leagues
engage in a series Of games to de-
termine the worlds championship, is
now a worlds series in fact as well
as in name.
In every hamlet the radio was
tuned in on the games and the
crowds Of forty or fifty thousand
were augmented daily during the
series by unseen millions, who got
only a mental picture Of the play
but nevertheless enjoyed such par
ticipation in the contests.
The way the worlds series grips
the attention of America is a demon
stration Of a fine spirit among the
people one that recognizes in base
ball healthful, vigorous, typically
American sport

comment is always made that the

that all the financial profit possible

common belief among people, who

porting it,
The results of the series this year
very clearly upset the predictions of
the critic who believes that greed
rules the worlds series.
1t did appear that Washington.
with three games to Pittsburgh's
one, was certain to become worlds
champion for a second time. When
Pittsburgh won two straight and ev-
ened up the series. those who pro
fessed to have superior knowledge
winked and said that Washington
would win the deciding game and
again it would be demonstrated that
the worlds series was organized for
profit and not according to the
ideals Of true craftsmanship.
But those who ascribed TO the
managers of organized baseball inn
proper motives did not calculate
