BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, June 30.-The hurried
and sudden dash of Mrs. Cyrus H.
Mccormick Jr., on special train
here from New York, remained a
mystery today.
After arriving here yesterday, Mrs.
Mccormick vanished as mysteriously
as her trip seems to be, but was a
guest last night at the home of her
sister, Miss Mabel Linn.
Mrs. Mccormick denied herself to
visitors and gave no indication of
the reason for her chartering a spe-
cial train, which brought her here
from New York six hours earlier
than she would have arrived on a
regular train. The special train cost
her upward of $1,000.

COOLEST IN

Washington Expert Predicts
2 Heat Waves Will Not
Be Intense.
Times Washin0ton Bureau.

I0ZE NBW EWb dUGHUo
WASHINGTON, June 30.-It's go
ing to be the coolest summer in
years. There will be hot waves. One
of these is on the way now, but re-
lief, if you want to call it that. will
follow rather shortly, and it will be
cool again.
This is the long distance prediction
Of Herbert Janvrin Browne, ocean
meteorologist, who has his labora-
tory in Washington.
Browne is one of the few long
range weather forecasters in the
United States. He makes his pre-
dictions through a study of warm
and cold ocean areas, and the effect
of ocean currents upon these areas.
Figures on Water
He calculated just How long 1t
takes water from one part of the
globe to reach another part, and
figures out how these changes will
affect the weather on the land.
Browne predicted some years ago
the cool summer Of 1926, and at the
same time stated that 1927 would be
freak year, much like the famous
1916, called the "year without a
summer"
On June IT, 1916, there was a big
snow storm in eastern United States
and Canada, in which many lost
their lives. 1t lasted two days.
There is no record of the weather
on that date/west of the Alleghenies.
On the night Of July a, 1915, there
was a freeze, with ice one-fourth to
onehalf, inch thick.
Corn was planted three times that
year and killed each time. Seed corn
in the. spring of 1917 cost $40 a
bushel.
Crops Will Suffer
During 1927. Browne declared,
there will be frosts at inopportune
times, cold weather when it normal
ly should be hot. Crops in 1927 will
suffer more than this year.
This year, 1926, is sort Of fore
runner of more trouble to come, ac-
cording to Browne. Weather trouble
will be felt in the corn belt. particu-
larly this fall, when much of the
corn will be frosted before it ma
lures.
Winter will come early and will be
extremely severe.

LEAGUE MAKES DECISION
Peace Time Strength to Be

triumphed over the United States

French thesis for a basis Of COM

spect to disarmaoent finally was
chosen by the League of Nations dis.
armament commission as the one
upon which comparisons would be
made.
The texts of the two French
projects were adopted with slight
modification.
Peace Time Strength
The first French project fixes the
trained peace time effective fighters
as the primary element in compar-
ing military armaments, but stipu-
lates that these are to be considered
in conjunction with secondary ele-
ments such as material in service
and in stock, trained reserves, the
number and composition of large
peace time units, the period of mill
tary service and the time required
for the complete organization and
mobilization of the national re-
sources.
The second project provides that
the ultimate war strength. espe-
cially in raw materials and industrial
organization. in each country also
can be used as basis for comparing
military armaments.
Victory for France
This latter provision constitutes a
victory for the French thesis regard
ing invisible armaments or war
potentiality.'
The United States sought to make
trained reserves the primary factor
in comparing armaments, and with
Britain opposed the invisible arma-
ments project. s--sseesssss-.s-.

So states Mrs. Marie Busch, who was

the two spinsters, the Misses Ballin
who shared house with him.
Andersen was very particular"
she said. HE insisted upon my ad-

the title conferred upon him by the
g-KOnferentsraad This was Il
much coveted title given to retired
cabinet ministers and merchant
princes, but never before to mere
poet"
The story teller also had his meals
at Il specified time In a certain way
and when he read his newest work to
the Misses Ballin and Mrs, Busch they
had to stop their needlework. No
matter where Mrs. Busch went out
doors, she had to wear coat and
when Andersen gave her tickets to
the theater he also presented her with
pair Of white gloves
"All nice people," he remarked
"wear white gloves to the theater."
Andersen had soft couch upon
which he weaved his tales of the

Word of Grecian Origin

The word "Ichthys" is Greek and
means fish. 1t was frequently used
as a symbol of Christ by the early
Christians, because Its letters form
the initials of Christ's name and titles
as the Son of God and Savior. The
word is found on ancient seals, rings,
lamps and tombs, and came into gen
eral use In the Fourth century. II is
said that Aptntus, bishop of Milesla,
was the first to construct the acrOstic
from which the symbol derived. Bap-
tismal fonts were often ornamented
with the figure Of fish, several Of
which may be found In French cathe-
drals at the present day. Augustine
says that Ichthys" is the mystical
name Of Christ, because he descend
ed alive into the depths Of this mortal
life, into the abyss of waters" julius
Africanus speaks of Christ az "the
great fish taken by the fishhook Of
God, and whose flesh nourlshes the
whole world. "-Exchange.
