WORLDS HOTTEST
AND COOLEST SPOTS
Siberia Holds Record Win
90.4 Degrees Below.

Washington. - Days are coming
when we shall enjoy just thinking OF
the coldest spot on earth. That imag-
mary comfort may be enhanced by a
knowledge of the exact time and loca-
tion Of the coldest known tempera-
ture. Verkhoyansk, Siberia, just with
in the Arctic circle, experienced 90.4
degrees below zero Fahrenheit On
January 10, 1883. 1t was unOfficially
reported that this same place recently
broke the above record with 97.6 de
grees below.
However, do not start for Verkhoy-
ansk for your vacation, for the tenn
perature rises to so degrees during
the two-month summer. Miles City,
Mont, holds the low record for the
United States with Go degrees below.
It may help the fellow who must en-
joy the sea breeze of an electric fan
to know Of a hotter spot than his own
chair. The italian meteorological sta
tion of AziZia registered 1864 degrees
Fahrenheit in the shade on September
13, 1922 AZiZia is in the semi-desert
plain Of Jefara, northern Africa. The
mean annual temperature for this re-
gion is 7OS degrees.
Before Azizia established her hot
test day California's similar arid in
land plain held the worlds record
with 134 degrees in the shade. This
was at Greenland ranch on the edge
of Death valley, where the thermome-
ter goes higher than 120 degrees every
summer. Officials at the weather bu-
reau question Azizia's record because
the conditions under which the 1864
degrees were obtained were not GER
tainly proper. However, this may be
the American desire for bigger and
better climate, as Prof Filippo Eredia
saw the establishment of the mete-
geological station at the Italian settle
ment in 1913 and took great pains to
insure the accurate functioning of the
instruments after approved methods.
Though summer Out-of-dOOrs recre-
alton is tempting, the need for vaca-
tions is apparently greater in winter
than in summer. Scientific investiga
ton has discovered that it is a great
mistake to speed up at the end Of
January while in May nature lends
her aid and human energy is in
creased. We are still more energetic
in October.
Nervous America might well change
her habit and relax in winter vaca-
tions when the need for slowing up is
greatest.

Screen and Stage
The Strand Theatre, Smyrna

Friday and Saturday-The tinsel
and glamor of a circus-and the sin
ister shadows of the underworld
these are the two extremes in Lon
Chaney's latest and most startling
contribution to the drama Of the
screen. "The Unknown" Metro-Gol-
dwvn-M Mayer's newest CLANCY vehicle,
is a thriller, a mystery, and wond-
erfully sweet human love story, all IN
one, with Lon CLANCY, master Of
weird disguises, in what is undoubt-
edly the strongest role in his career.
CLANCY plays an armless sideshow
freak, using his feet as his hands in
all the ways the human hands can be
used-a thing in itself that took
months Of practice. He throws knives,
fires rifles and does other tricks before
an audience in his "act and, in his
private life, eats, drinks, smokes-and
even shaves with his pedal eXtremities
His facial disguise is amazing-but
his uncanny use Of his feet, after what
would seem an incredibly brief prac-
tice, sets this role apart from any he
has ever done. The story is a grim
mystery tale, through which, like
golden thread, runs delicate romance
and a remarkable story Of sacrifice.
CLANCY plays an underworld leader,
masquerading az a circus freak and
working series Of criminal agencies
from this strange hiding place. He
comes to love Estrellita, the dancer
in the circus (played BY Joan Craw-
ford), and this arouses his jealousy
for Malabar, the strong man, a role
handled by Norman Kerry.

17-Year Locust Again Due Here

The unreasonable weather is be-
lieved to have held back the arrival
of the "seventeen-year locusts, !"
which, tradition says, have been ap-
pearing by the millions at that inter
val since 1924 and leaving trail Of
havoc in their wake in Delaware and
many other States. The American
Nature Association, of Washington,
has notified members to be on the
lookout for the cicada in the hope of
determining whether or not it really
appears in great numbers every sew
enteen years. It is due here this sum-
mer, according to entimologists. It is
believed that the locust will appear in
large numbers this season in sections
of Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky,
Illinois, Indiana and Kansas. This
theory is based on a belief prevalent
since pre-Revolutionary days. En-
togologists say some locusts, presum-
ably the seventeen-year species, are
Coming out" nearly every year in
some part of the country. Scientists
are divided in the belief whether this
species, a forest insect, confines its
damage, to trees or joins other species
in attacking trees, crops, cotton,
shrubs, flowers and vegetables.

New Dover Opera House, Dover

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
John Barrymore, playing the leading
role of Francois Villon, poet house
breaker, in "The Beloved Rogue" ap-
pears at the beginning Of the film as
picklock," which Is almost akin to
the "porch climber" Of the present
time. The architecture Of the fifteen
tn century in Paris, in which Villon
lived, lent itself particularly will to
the purposes Of the petty thieves, the
grotesquely designed rooftops almost
touching each other and forming an
overhead paradise" for picklocks.
This is the setting in which Barry
more is first seen in ''The Beloved
Rogue" sliding down steep pitches,
leaping from one roof to another, hid
ing behind picturesque gargoyles to
outwit the town watch and generally
misbehaving. The role of Francois
Villon, perhaps the most complex
character of literary history, is sur
prisingly III contrast with anything
Barrymore has done previously for
the screen. Representative Of the
risks faced by even the most highly
paid motion picture luminaries were
the chances taken by John Barrymore
during the filming Of some Of the most
thrilling scenes in "The Beloved Ro-
que" In one sequence he is tortured
by being lowered into pit Of fire.

Cat Goes After Crow,
Other Crows Give Aid

Petersburg, Ind.-This story
comes from Miss Marie Chew
ming, a deputy in the office of
County Treasurer Fred Malott
OF Pike county. Miss Chewing
lives with her parents; Mr.. and
Mrs. William Chewing, one
mile east of Petersburg.
Early one morning recently
Miss Chewing heard her pet
cat, a large Maltese tom, max
ing a great racket from the top
Of a large sycamore tree stand
ing in the yard. About the same
time she heard the cawing of
crows. She rushed out of doors
to investigate the source of the
racket, and saw her pet cat
on the topmOst limb of the syca-
more, all huddled in a ball, and
the crows were attacking the
animal from all angles, making
frantic stabs at the cats eyes.
The cat feared to move, and
every time a crow landed on
him lie would let loose a heart
rending squail that could be
heard above the squawking of
the crows. Miss Chewning
threw clubs at the crows and
frightened them away, and the
cat crawled down from his per
ilous perch. The cat had spied
a crow in the top of the tree
and had crawled up the tree to
catch the crow, when the crow
called to other crows in near
BY trees and the battle was on.
