finally arrived. Justifying his cold
wave predictions, Browne quotes a
number of low temperatures along
the Canadian border.
-Four cold waves were forecast for
March along the south Atlantic sea-
board toward the gulf. He further
specified stormy, boisterous month
with violent swings of temperature.
Everywhere except a western slice

Brownies April prediction called
for cold waves through the plateau,

Temperatures shot above normal

URGES BAN ON
PARKING CARS
BY MONUMENT
Superintendent Perry Will
Ask Council to Repeal
Ordnance.
STATE LAW IS CITED
Effect Is Alleged to Be Same
as That of Board
Fence.

City council will be asked to re-
peal an ordinance permitting auto
parking on Monument Circle, Oran
Perry, Monument superintendent,
said today.
Perry said he would write council
men a letter requesting them to re-
scind the action of the city in the
belief it was violation Of State
law.
1T think 1t would be good thing.
We will consider the matter care
fully" said Boynton j. Moore, coun-
Gil majority leader, when informed
of Perry's plan.
Holds Parking Illegal
In response to an inquiry from
Perry, Edward M. White, assistant
attorney general of Indiana, gave
an opinion to Pliny H. Wolford.
Governor Jackson's secretary, that
parking of automobiles or buses, If
they obstruct approaches or view OF
the monument, can be considered
violations of the State law.
"Cars parked for hours at time
around the Circle not only obstruct
the view of the monument, con-
trary to State law, but also help to
blockade traffic, endangering lives
and property" said Perry.
Perry explained he had been
authorized by the Monument board
Of control to take up the matter
with the council.
Blames Council
at is the council that caused all
the trouble" he said, when they
passed an ordinance, undoubtedly
unconstitutional, permitting parking
on the Circle. Stopping of buses or
private automobiles for a moment to
take on or discharge passengers is
not Objectionable"
Acts of 1901 provided that 1t shall
be unlawfuI<to desecrate the monu-
ment or Monument Place or any of
the premises or approaches by
building any wall, fence or other OBJ
struction in or about the premises.
"a fringe Of parked automobiles
about the Circle has the same effect
as that of high board fence,
through which one cannot look out
or in and which further reduces the
already inadequate size Of Monu-
ment Place." Perry said.

the north.
Rainfall for the month was below

Mark down another tally where
you think it should go.
For February, Browne predicted
that the markedly adverse features

five cold waves, and heavy rains on
the Pacific coast and the Southwest.

CHAOS REIGN
IS FORECAST
IN CONGRESS
Coolidge Abdication Means
Politics Will Be Played
to the Limit.
DAWES TO FOREFRONT
Fight for Control Will Be
Close; Smith and Ware
Cases Big Issue.
BY RUTH FINNEY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The
SEVENTEEN Congress will be the most
chaotic in years as result of Presi-
dent Coolidge's ahdication, 1t is pre-
dicted here.
One potential candidate to sue
coed him will preside over the Sen
ate, another over the House. Three
or four candidates will sit as mem
bers of the Senate; and the strength
Of Lowden and Hoover will vary &C.
cording to what action is taken or
farm relief and flood relief.
This inevitably means a mad
scramble for political advantage.
The next Senate will be composed
of forty-eight Republicans, forty
seven Democrats and one Farmer
Labor member. The forty-eight Re-
publicans include Ware and Smith
and the slush committees attempt
to GUST them from their seats will
be one Of the first contests Of the
session.
Tied Up on Organization
If Smith and Ware are put out
the Senate probably will be tied on
the question of organization, Henrik
Shipstead, Farmer Laborer, voting
with the Republicans, and Vice
President Dawes leaking the dead
lock.
Such a situation would give
Dawes tremendous opportunity in
the next Congress, and his sup
porters probably will be eager to
bring it about. at the expense OF
Ware and Smith.
Dawes, instead of being a silent
spectator of Senate proceedings,
then would have a voice on every
major issue before Congress, as well
as deciding committee chairman
ships. and other details of organ
ization.
1t seems probable, also, that regu-
lar Republicans may not be so
eager to retain control Of the SEN
ate as they were before the Cool
idge announcement. Since it longer
is necessary for them to keep
the onus Of the next Congress from
Coolidge's shoulders, so the party
may win in 1923. it might be sim
pier for them to let Democrats take
charge Of the troublesome session,
and assume responsibility for what
ever happens.
Relief in Politics
Possibility of enacting the Nc
Nary Haugen bill or anything SINH
lar seems more remote than ever.
The President will lack any possible
incentive to reverse his former DO
sition If he is out Of the presiden-
tial race, and probably will veto
any bill of the sort the midwest
wants.
Secretary Hoover's possible can
didacy will make the flood relief
issue decidedly a political one. If
a plan Of his framing is laid before
Congress, it seems unlikely to re-
ceive any great amount of
enthusiastic support.
Failure of the Geneva conference
gives Speaker Longworth an OPP
portunity, as a consistent advocate
Of a large navy, to make this his
leading issue next winter.
The liberal Republican group will
hold the balance of power in the
next Senate.

Hold Your Breath May
Join Don't Give Your
Right Name Advice Class.

With invention of q scientific
breath tester" by DR.. Rolla N. Har-
ger of Indiana University School of
Medicine here, every Indiana law
enforcement officer soon may be
equipped to go into court and prove
conclusively the exact degree Of in
toxication of his prisoner.
DR.. Harger has offered use of this
new scientific device to Secretary of
State Frederick E. Schortemeier for
use by state officers in testing So
briefly of alleged drunken drivers.
Schortemeier has not yet announced
acceptance.
Breath Will Be Measured
If the new tester becomes gen.
orally used, when the town drunkard
wabbles unsteadily into court, the
tester will be called on to do its
stuff"
BLOW your breath into this sack"
he will be told. He will be given
what looks like a football bladder
or toy balloon. The bladder, when
inflated, will be connected with an
apparatus containing sulphm'ic acid
and an oxydizing agent, which will
catch the alcohol in his breath and
form a colored substance.
Intensity of the color will deter
mine the extent of intoxication.
The analysis, DR.. Hager empha-
sized, will not make it possible to
determine how much liquor the
prisoner has drank.
When Is Man Dead Drunk?
This is the fairest test possible, the
inventor said, because a seasoned
drinkers blood absorbs less of the
alcohol he drinks than a novice.
DR.. Harger cited some data re-
Gently published by DR.. Emil Bogen
of Cincinnati, who said: "a man
is dry and decent when each cubic
centimeter of his blood contains less
than one milligram Of alcohol. He
is delighted and devilish when his
blood contains one to two milligrams,
delinquent and delirious after he
has absorbed three to four
milligrams. dazed and detected after
four to five milligrams, and dead
drunk after a five milligram limit
has been passed"

PARTY STAND IS SAME
PrOhibltioniSts Fear Wet
May Lead Democratic
Ticket.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES

Ahsee oNNH CoANNapVHNNnN
WASHINGTON. Aug. 5. - The
withdrawal of President Coolidge,
a dry, as candidate for reelection
will leave unchanged the attitude
Of the Republican party on prohi-
bition in 1923, according to dry
leaders here today.
"The party will nominate a drA
and, Of course, will declare in ~
platform for enforcement as usual"
1T was said by one who is close to
the situation.
Unlike the leading Democratic
candidates, most of those conceded
to have good chances for the Re-
publican nomination are either dry
or so slightly moist" that they viii
declare themselves dry to win the
nomination, according to dry au-
thorities.
L0ngwOrth on Fence
Speaker Longworth, OF the group
Of prominent candidates, is the
most wet, but it was stated today
by one in a position to know, that
he had assured certain dry leaders
recently that he would declare for
prohibition enforcement. Some such
declaration might be expected soon,
it was said.
Secretary OF Commerce Hoover
and Former Governor Frank o.
Lowden Of Illinois both are know as
drys. Though the position of Vice
president Dawes Is not clear. Il Is
said he would meet the require
ments Of the drys, as would Charles
Evans Hughes.
Senator Hiram johnson OF Cali
1ornia has indicated recently he
would stand with the drys. and
Senator Borah of Idaho is dry.
Leading Democrats Wet
Leading Democratic contenders.
Governor AL Smith, Governor
Richie of Maryland and Senator
Reed OF Missouri are wet. Senator
Walsh of Montana, Senator Glass
OF Virginia and Governor Donahey
OF Ohio, others mentioned, are dry.
So is w. G. McAdoo.
The Anti-Saloon League in the
past has thrown its strength behind
drys in State and congressional
elections. Not since prohibition has
the issue been raised in a presiden-
tital election. The league will face
a ptrplexing problem If the Demo-
Gratis nominate a wet In 1913. It's
inclination would be to support the
dry Republican, but that might d.
vide its forces in the South.
The general board OF the league
will discuss the situation next
month, and at the league regular
biennial meeting in December de-
eide what to do.

| Elmer Moret, a fisherman OF

savage attack of three brown
bear while deer hunting at the
head of Port Frederick last week
according to reports brought in on
the Margnita Today.
While on his way through the
woods, Moret suddenly came upon
the three bears and Immediately
headed for the nearest spurec,
a tall one. The bears entered
the race and before Moret was
able to reach the tree one of the
Infatuated animals grabbed him
by the foot sinking his teeth
through the shoe and piercing his
toe. The man was thrown to the
ground.
When Moret arose the bear took
a swipe at him but he drew back
his head and received only a
slight flesh wound on the fore
head from the claws of the AM
NAL. The momentum of the bear
swing caused her to lose her
balance and fall over a log. Moret
once more set out for the tree
and this time succeeded in win
ming the race After a short time
the bears gave pp the idea OF
dining on Moret and went off into
the woods.
