Unusual weather" of some kind,
some place in the country.
All this discussion of 1927 wealth
er started four years ago.
Herbert Janvrin Browne, whose
chosen title is ocean meteorologiSt,
made the assertion at meeting of
the House Agriculture Committee in
1923 that unusual and dangerous
weather was to be expected in the
coming year, particularly 1926 and
1927.
Sells His Service
He has continued talking weather
ever since, adding details, and has
made it into a business. He now
issues long range forecast bulletins
to regular subscribers at 500
year. Farmers, manufacturers, rail-
road men, sports promoters and a
variety of others are his clients.
Some of his claims seem to have
been borne out. Others do not. And
when he says all his predictions
could be proved true, one either be-
lieves him or one does not.
Meanwhile, the weather being hot
Cor cold it's a good game checking
up on just what has happened this
year.
Next: How Browne figures out his long
range predictions.

THREE HURT IN CRASH
One of Victims Still in Critical Con-
ditiOn at Hospital.

Miss Alberta Hops, one of three
persons injured in an auto crash at
the Post and National Roads late
Monday, remained in critical con-
dition at the city hospital today.
Her injuries were a fractured skull.
body injuries and cuts. Mrs. c. Nc
Creepy, wife of Captain McCreery,
Ft. Benjamin Harrison, and their
daughter, Virginia, 6, were cut and
bruised.
State Policeman George johnson
said that the auto driven by Mrs
j. j. Alpheer, Dayton, Ohio, in
which Miss Hops was riding, hooked
the rear end of the auto driven by
Captain McCreery, as it crossed the
National Road. The Alpheer auto
skidded fifty feet and turned over
on an interurban track.

DETROIT, Aug. 2.-Assured OF

Byrd was en- route today to Boston

pole fight.
Byrd came yesterday and con-
ferred with the Fords, who offered
him the use of any of their great

Edsel Ford expressed great adj

"he is a gentleman and a scientist"

BY RUTH FINNEY

WASHINGTON, Aug. a. How
d'ya like the weather?
The year without a summer, you
know. This is it.
Or, rather, as Herbert Janvrin
Browne, long range forecaster, now
says, this is the year that was to be
like 1916, which was called "the
year without summer" You get
the distinction?
Browne says the weather this year
is all wrong. Didn't he predict as
far back as 1923 what it would be?
The United States Weather Bill
reau says there's nothing the matter
with the weather. The bureau
thinks long range forecasting has
never been proved scientifically
sound
Browne says he has proof that his
prediction has been verified.
Weather Bureau records show
, that average temperatures this year
shave been slightly below normal in
~some parts of the country and
slightly above in others.
Story of Ark
Browne replies that averages don't
mean thing, and says: "I'll have
to tell little story about Noah and
the Ark. Nivram, the official wealth
er observer of that time, resented
the fact that Noah was building
the Ark. He started out one day
with a committee of remonstrance,
but it began raining. The Ark sailed
off on the flood
After it had landed on Ararat,
a somewhat bedraggled individual
crawled out from the bilge of the
Ark, hunted a piece of slate and
charcoal, and began busily figuring.
1t was Nivram.
TN about an hour he went up to
Noah and said triumphantly: L
have been working this thing out.
I have figured the rainfall clear
back to the beginning of time, and
it is barely a quarter of an inch
above the average"
How 1t Happens
The answer to this is, of course,
that every years average figures
are made up of extremes of hot and
cold, and wet and dry spells. But
they occur at different parts of this
very large country each year, and
impress only a few people at a
time. When it comes to weather,
it's the usual that is unusual. It's
a safe assertion that if one were to
study weather maps of the United
States for every day during the past
fifty years, most of them would show

Labor Protest Grows.

Labor has one month more to make
its protests against the impending
execution of Nicola Sacco and Bar

Upton Sinclair Returns
Home; PromisesCensors
Of Boston More Battle
(By Federated Press)

Before returning to his home in
Pasadena, Calf, Upton Sinclair told
the Federated Press than he would
give the Boston censors another
fight this Fall when the book clerk
who sold the banned novel Oil is put
on trial on a charge of violating the
obscenity law.
Sinclair sold an unexpurgated Oil
in the Puritan City, but the police re-
fused to arrest him. His next move
was to parade through the streets as
sandwich man, selling special Fig
leaf Edition of the book, with the
8 censored pages humorously blocked
out with black figleaves.
A. & C. Conf, publishers of Oil, say
its sales gained thousand per cent
since the Boston censors got busy.
Like all the labor novelist's other
books Oil is a big seller in Germany,
Britain and other European coun-
tries.

Demand Release Of

A thorough investigation of the
case of the 85 Chinese workers who
forced their way off the Rotterdam"
after they were refused shore leave
has just been started by the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union.
Fifty-four of the sailors, jailed i'm
mediately after the outbreak, are still
being held in Hoboken despite efforts
of Ziangling Chang, Chinese Consul
in New York, to secure their release.
No charge has as yet been placed
against them.
Got SO a Week.
They were hired as stokers in Rot
terdam about 10 days ago for wage
of SO week with a promise of shore
leave When they arrived in Ho-
boken, however, the officers ignored
their pleas to be let off.
Commenting on this Ziang-ling
Chang said: "If American sailors were
in the same situation in China Ameri-
can marines would have long since
taken action"

food on the Rotterdam" was atroci-

served them during the entire trip.

RIGHT WING PLOT

Unity Committee Tells
.of forward" Gloating'

Calling upon the needle workers to
protest against the wholesale jailing
of the furriers, the Unity Committee
of the Fur, Cloak and Dressmakers'
Joint Boards, yesterday distributed
thousands of leaflets in the market
pointing out the treachery of the right
wing.
1t reads as follows:
"Three hundred fifty workers, men
and women, have been sentenced to
jail terms ranging from days to 6
tInonths. What was their crime?
even the police who testified
against them admitted that their
crime consisted Of nothing more vio-
lent than that of peacefully picketing
in the fur market.
"The real reason why these work
ers were sent to Jail is because IT
WAS REQUESTED BY SIGMAN

nothing but puppet in their hands.
Sigman, McGrady and the Forward
have determined to break the furriers'
strike at any cost. The time has ap-

now the leaders of the police and the
courts.

u. S. Marines March On
Nicaraguan Liberals | S
AS Revolt Breaks Out

WASHINGTON, July 1.--American
marines, under Brigadier General Fe-
land, have been dispatched against
General Sandino, liberal officer, who
is occupying the state of Nueva Sc
govia.
Despite reports previously received
here, large section of the liberals
is openly revolving against the dicta-
torship of Diaz, who is supported by
American marines.
General Sandino is reported to have
levied tax against an American
owned mine, which the owner, Charles
Buffers refused to pay. General San
dino is said to have seized the mine
upon Buffers refusal.
