A rather alarming, though perfectly
reasonable weather forecast was made
last week by s. d. Flora. meteorolo-
gist of the United States Weather
Bureau at Topeka, Kans.. who said in
speech that death tolls from lorna
does in the Middle West will increase
as the population becomes thicker,
and that the stability of modern steel
and concrete structures will never be-
come known until a tornado hits the
middle Of some city's business section
This, he forecasts, will happen in the
course of events. He holds out an en-
courag1ng thought, however, IN the
fact that mans ingenuity has always
triumphed over obstacles, and there is
no reason to believe he will not ul-
timately strip the tornado of at least
part Of its terrors.''
Many meetings of scientific bodies
throughout the United States in the
last two weeks served to turn the spot
light of attention on the scientific ac-
comphshments of 1925, which will be
made the basis of further and more
successful research during the new
year. Some of the disccve.Ies and
theories recently announced are: That
cancer is not an infectious disease, but
IS inherited; nearly half the cases of
leprosy, which have passed the six

use OF chaulmoogra oil; cases of paral-
ysis resulting from a severed spinal

Delegates of Local Clubs Will
Urge Aid at House
Hearing.

Representative of more than a
dozen prominent local organizations
met yesterday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor, 1928 18th
street, and made plans to support the
movement to obtain mothers aid
legislation for the District at this ses-
aaon OF Congress. The legislation pro-
posed would extend financial assist
anCe to worthy mothers to enable
them to rear their children at home
when conditions are such that with
out aid the children would have to be
placed in institutions.
There are two different bills on the
subject pending, and while they both
have the same end in view, they pro-
vide different methods of procedure.
The delegates who assembled yester-
day afternoon voted to recommend to
their respective societies that they
support the bill of Representative
Keller in the House and Senator Cap
per in the Senate. The Capper bill
was prepared by the Commission on
Public Welfare Legislation and APP
proved by the District Commissioners.

that the baby was a girl.
There was no shyness about her
admiration. She went for the man

Perhaps the prosperous one recog-
