Famous Weather Man Says
Irrigation Of Arid Land
Causes Terrific Storms

NEW YORK, Nov. II R)-On the
ground that irrigation of arid lana
Is prolific cause of devastating
storms, Elias B. Dunn, of Orange,
N. j., head of the New York weather
bureau from 1884 to 1898, sent a
letter to President Coolidge today
protesting against further recIama-
tion projects in the west
"By unremitting stimulations of an
irrigation program Dunn wrote,
you are, Mr.. President, adding am.
munition TO natures destructive forces,
killing or impoverishing the man at
the productive plow, filling the nav
of the one who writes Of roses that
bloom in December and, incidentally
changing the climate OF this coun-
try"
Dunn's argument is that heat ano
moisture make a storm, or increase
the energy of one already formed"
He says that storms from all the
west" are drawn to or breed over
the hottest moisture laden areas, and
that since there are now about 49,
100000 acres under irrigation in the
southwest, where the water evapor-
ates faster than it soaks into the
soil, these vast areas constitute the
incubators of atmospheric disturp-
ances that make havoc in their east
ward paths"

Il have advocated adherence to such

senate has adopted a resolution for
thak purpose.
while the nations involved cannot
yet be said to have made a final de-

BORAH ASKS THAT THE
REPUBLICANS RECALL
FRAZIER TO PARTY

WASHINGTON, Nov. II R-With
the political control of the next sen
ate hanging in the balance, Senator
Borah, of Idaho, today called on
the republican leaders to reinstate
in the party councils Lynn J. Fra
zier, Of North Dakota, who was ban
ished after the Coolidge landslide
in 1924.
The action of the Idaho senator ap-
parently took by surprise the old

c1ined to discuss even the possibfli-
ties of senate organization a year
in advance of the necessity for meet.
ing what now appears a perplexing
problem.
Senator Borah's move, taken after
full conference with Frazier and
others of the republican insurgent
group, is expected to bring about
early action in the case of the North
Dakota senator who wants now the
committee places to which his three
years of service entitle him.
Action on the suggestion of the
Idaho senator will be deferred until
just before or Immediately after con-
gress convenes on December 6. The
republicans then will hold a party
conference and the committee on
committees will fill vacancies on the
various committees caused by the
death of Senators Cummins, of Iowa.
and Fernald.
Both republican conference and sem
ate action would be necessary to con-
firm the reinstatement of Frazier to
the party councils, and there would
have to be further readjustments in
committees with some republicans

ELTINCE THEATRE

Picture goers, who are wont to
complain that the movies are not
true to life, will have little fault
to find with ParamOunt's new comedy
classic, "The Show Off" which makes
its initial appearance at the Eltinge
Theatre today.
Based on the popular stage play
by George Kelly, THE Show-Of
brings to the screen q familiar Amer
lean character and typical American
1amily-real. human. everyday folks.
There are no spectacular sets, no
STACEY thrills, no forced realism-just
the natural humor, the simple drama
and the poignant pathos that make
up the ordinary lives Of humanity's
masses.
The plot concerns a breezy. ire
pressible railroad clerk to Whom
Boosting is as natural as breathing.
Though he talks like a combination
Of Rockefeller and Vanderbilt, he
actually earns but $32 a week. That
however, doesn't prevent him from
marrying very pretty girl, who be-
lieves everything he says and adores
him. His wife's family see through
his cheap Dragging and treat him
with the contempt he deserves, but
he is absolutely insult proof.
Naturally, his loose tongue and
clustering ways get him into all sorts
Of difficulties. The climax is reached
when he goes out driving and knocks
down traffic cop. But just when
everyone has given him up as hope
less, he bluffs his way into a big bus
mess deal and makes q lot Of money.
