years. He expresses the results of
the two independent Investigations by
weather maps, which are striking in
their similarity.
This extremely significant evidence
of the effect of solar variation on
weather is the result of two years
work done under the direction OF the
Smithsonian Institution with funds
supplied to 1t by John A. RoeblinG.
These funds are exhausted, and the

caster for the Argentine governments $

Reactions Reverse I'm Seasons.
According to Mr.. Clayton's studies,
all the Smithsonian observations of
the suns heat from 1905 to 1925 unite
in showing that the northern and
southern parts of North America re-
act in an opposite manner for IN
creased solar activity. and that they
reverse their own reactions in Sum
mer and Winter. That is to say, the
same station grows colder when the
sun sends more heat in Winter. and
warmer under similar circumstances
in Summer. Also, the rule that Is
true for Canada must be reversed for
Mexico. This reveals how complex is
the dependence of the weather on
solar changes.
These results might have seemed
unbelievable if they had rested on
Smithsonian solar measurements only,
but as DR.. Abbot had shown that high
solar radiation attends numerous sun
spots, Mr. Clayton used the sun spot
records OF the last 60 years as evil
dence of high and low sun power, and
repeated the whole work. The results
confirmed entirely the queer relations
mentioned above.
Mr.. clayton answers his numerous
critics with much new evidence. Al
together the bundle of proof is so
large and varied that the case for the
solar fOreca Ster is made very strong.
This publication emphasizes the i'm
portance of the expedition which has
been sent out by the National Geo
graphic Society in cooperation with
the Smithsonian Institution to estab-
lish a new solar radiation observatory
upon lonely Mount BrukkarOs in
Southwest Africa. Combining the
daily kilograms from this new station
with those reported by existing Smith
Sonian stations in California and Chile
ought to yield very accurate and
fun record of the suns changes for
the use of students of weather.

Abern Addresses Re-
cruiting Meeting

DETROIT, Feb. II. - The shop
nuclei, consisting of three shop nuclei
in large automobile plant, held a
successful recruiting meeting Sunday
Feb. Z. Comrade Abern, member of
the c. E. c., delivered very interest
ing and educational talk on shop
nucleus organization and its practical
work. He gave an outline how the
shop nuclei work can be made more
effective thru properly organized
executive committee. Great stress was
laid on the workers press correspond
ence, the need of workers writing for
their shop papers and how the men,
bers can easily be trained to write
about the shop conditions and the
struggles to gain better conditions. He
also dealt with the matter of Shop
Bulletin, l. L. ID. work, urging a shop
/. L. D. branch, laid plans for educa-
tional work; means for increasing
DAILY WORKKER subs, distribution,
the trade unions campaigns of the
party, the various party campaign.
Comrade Abern's speech was we'll re-
ceived; it gave new life to some of
the members who have been indiffer-
ent towards the shop nucleus work.
A number of members were transfer
red to the nuclei and six new mem
bers were brought in thru the activi-
ties of the comrades in the shop and
the well presented speech by Com
rade Abern. At this meeting $335.00
was raised towards financing the shop
paper and other shop campaigns that
will confront the nuclei in the future.
IT'S party members were present.
The nuclei executive committee is
calling together the executive COM
mittees of the three shop nuclei to
reorganize into a more effective and
functioning committee and to discuss
the questions brought out by Com
rade Abern. Due to the increase of
members in Nucleus No. and g., it
necessitates a new program. All com
rades who are members of the exec
utive committee of Shop Nucleus No.
