The past Summer was cooler than
usual in the Eastern States but hardly
enough to justify the predictions of
Summerless year, according to Prof.
Alfred j. Henry of the United States
Weather Bureau here. Prof. Henry
has just announced the results of a
study of abnormal Summers.
He finds that at New Haven, Conn,
and at New Bedford. Mass, where the
records extend back for a century, the
past Summer ranks 80 and 81 in cool
ness. At both Of these places the ia
nous year without Summer" OF
1916 was coolest, but at New Haven
there have been 80 Summers since
that have been cooler than the past
one, while at New Bedford there have
been 81. In the Western States, how
ever, the Summer was unusually
warm. At Portland, Greg, only the
Summer of 1926 was warmer than that
OF 1927. according to records which
extend back for half a century. At
San Francisco 1927 ranks third as
warm Summer. only 1888 and 1925
having been hotter.
In the Middle West and East. only
the records of Lynchburg. Va. Mem
phis and Cincinnati show 1927 to have
had the coolest Summer in so years.
At New York. Philadelphia. Chicago,
st. Louis and Indianapolis the last
Summer was the second coolest. while
at Washington it was third coolest.
"In the last 50-odd years" says Prof.
Henry, -four Summers of exceptional
GOODNESS. 1903, 1907, 1915 and 1877,
have occurred. Comparing these sum-
mers, one finds that there is little TO
choose from as to which was the most
consnicuous as to the depression of
temperature. Considering the length
of time the low temperature prevailed
and the area affected and the mini
,,,uu temperature recorded, 1919
should be given first place. Each
r,onth of that Summer. including May
and in a less degree September. was
ebnormally cold.
.oThe greatest depression Of the tenn
perature in the Summer OF l9o, was h; II;
Inna following an exceptionally cool
AnriI and NAV. The cool Summer OF
hat wear may therefore be considered
as a holdover effect from the coid
Snring Immediately preceding.
"The remaining three Summers
1905. 1915 and 1927, have several fea'
tures in common, the most striking
being the fact that each of them was
preceded either i'm May or June pS

Prophets
BY BRUCE BARTON.

TN the palace in Amsterdam,
formerly the town hall, a
guide pointed out the room
i that once had been the
debtors court.
1.-THE first debtor whose trou.
bles were aired in that room,"
said he, was the painter Rem
brandt"
Whether that is an accurate
historical statement or not, there
is no doubt about what happened
to poor Rembrandt.
His fine home went under the
hammer; the beautiful collection
Of his own paintings and other
works of art was scattered,
bringing only about two thou
sand dollars. Stripped Of every
thing, even his table linen, the
greatest genius Holland has pro.
duced found refuge in a shabby
tenement in the ghetto.
Today the finest square in
Amsterdam is called by his name
and his statue stands in the cen.
ter Of it.
The biographies Of the worlds
benefactors are only too often
very painful reading. Howe, the
inventor Of the sewing machine,
attended his wife's funeral in
borrowed clothes.
He had lishtened tie labor Of
millions Of women, but the world
would not give him even a de-
cent suit in which to mourn for
the woman he loved.

Test of Federal Aviation Regulation

Federal Government to attempt to po-

| claims.
Gen. Mitchell takes similar view,
holding that air traffic should be con-
trolled by the States just as automo.
bile traffic is now controlled. Caus-
tically pointing out the shortcomings
of aviation as he sees them in the
United States, the flying general
state traffic by airplane might proper
ly be handled by Federal bureau.
but that travel within or over States
should be controlled by State agencies.
IF you impose such severe penalties
on our flyers as you have indicated IN
the case of Reiss." Gen. Mitchell said.
''you will make it so difficult that no
one will want to fly. My interest In
this case is that don't want to see
the flying personnel in the United
States manhandled." ma.
do you think we are going to man
handle it, general?" Mr.. MacCracken
asked. ~s.
''Well. don't know. I'm watching
1t with great interest. I'll wait and
see." Gen. Mitchell replied. Anyway,
the entire matter of regulation and
the decision in this case are certain
to come before Congress next Winter"
Gen. Mitchell took advantage of his
half hour on the witness stand ina the
Reiss case to let loose several of his
characteristic broadsides directed at
the bureaucracy" which now 'doini-
mates and stiles" aviation in this
country. He made no bones of the
fact that he believes the reason Ameri-
ca trails the world in aviation to-
day is because we have allowed the
flying machinery in existence at the
close of the World War to lapse into
nonuse through disorganization and
now plan to try to revive it with 'fn-
sufficient and disOrganiZed personnei."
Flyer Is Best Judge. r'.tf
Gen. Mitchell believes that flying,
being the individual art it Is. can be
controlled better through the inherent
safety rules which must always be
uppermost in the mind Of the pilot
than through legislation. 1.-THE man
in the air. plotting the ship, is the
best judge of how to handle any given
situation" he said. 'It is easy for us
on the ground to point out where he
is wrong. but he is always the best
judge"
"Overregulation is worse than un.
derregulation, and will keep flying
down. We must have a balance be-
tween the two"
There seems little doubt. in view
of the evidence and in the opinion of
Commerce Department experts. that
the suspension will be upheld and the
entire matter thrown into the courts
for settlement. So upon the legal
machinery will devolve the question OF
whether each "air fiivver" operator
of the future Is to be governed by
Federal laws alone or by State and
Federal laws together.

Pastures Are Hurt When Used
Too Early.

The temptation to be relieved OF
much labor and considerable expense
for feed frequently prompts the dairy
man to turn his cows on pasture en-
tirely too early in the spring with the
results unsatisfactory to both pasture
and cows. says J. A. Conover, Dairy
Specialist, for the University of
Maryland Extension Service.
"Cows turned on pasture too soon
are likely to become dissatisfied with
the customary dry ration and unless
there is an abundant supply of grass,
milk production is likely to be cur
tailed. Furthermore, the pasture UNI
der such conditions may receive set
back from which it will not recover
all summer.
"The best plan is to wait until the
grass is five or six inches high before
turning out the herd. This gives the
grass a good start and enables the
cow to secure a fill quickly and lie
down or stand quietly under the shade
of tree. The cow that is tramping
over the field all day searching for
grass is not making milk.
"Cows making twenty-five pounds
or more daily will need grain in ad-
dition to pasture A good mixture for
the early part of the season when
grass is abundant may be made up of
600 pounds corn and cob meal and
four hundred pounds of wheat bran.
Other good rations would be: 500
pounds of corn and cob meal, 100
pounds wheat bran and 100 pounds
cotton seed meal; or 500 pounds
ground corn and 500 pounds of ground
oats.
''Later on in the season as the grass
becomes older, the grain mixture
should contain a higher percentage
of protein. A mixture composed of
400 pounds of corn and cob meal, $50
pounds of ground oats and $50 pounds
of cottonseed meal should prove salts
factory. Another good combination
consists of 500 pounds of corn and cob
meal, 200 pounds of wheat bran and
200 pounds of linseed meal"
Late in the season when the grass
is old and tough, grain mixture con-
tanning about twenty per cent protein
is suggested and could be made up of
500 pounds Of corn and cob meal and
500 pounds Of thirty-two per cent
dairy feed or equivalent.
With the first use Of pasture in
spring, it is good plan to feed grain
and hay, also silage if available, in
the morning before the cows are
turned out. For the first two or three
days the cows should not be permitted
to stay out longer than two or three
hours. Cows should not be turned out
for the first time when there is dew or
rain on the grass. If the pasture is
clover, alfalfa, or sweet clover, a close
watch over the animals should be
maintained for several days. These
succulent feeds often cause the ami
mails to bloat, sometimes with fatal
results.
