We have very cold winters as well as protracted periods of heat during the summer and there is no regularity to these unusual seasons. So it is not req sonable to believe that the storms of the Atlantic come in cycles.
 This year it seems we are ex- periencing very severe winter at sea. There already have been sev- eral disasters; number of vessels have limped into port partly dis abled. The newspapers are con stantly referring to the frigid tenn peratures in Europe in regions that are accustomed to warm weather at this season of the year On the other hand, New York's winter has

 The winter of 192526 was severe on the North Atlantic and January of that season was one of the worst. It was during this montl that the Antinoe foundered, as wei as numerous other smaller ships Several transatlantic vessels re- ported passing through four to five distinct storms on their voyage Prior to this time, sailors expert enced a rough winter in 1911-12
 Thirteen years elapsed betwee, these severe seasons whereas thert is a repetition this year Of onl. three winters ago.
 During the winter months O, forceful winds there is not so much fog nenacing navigation. However there is plenty of rain, snow anc hail squalls which the sailor usual ly places in the same category as fog. A heavy snowfall is as bad f not worse, than a dense fog. Witt this type of weather the skies arC invariably overcast, preventing ob. servations. Periods of these great est fogs on the North Atlantic ar during the months of Novembel and April. It is impossible to SC. lect and time of the year to mak' a voyage without storm or fog bu' the summer months are pretty gooC gambles although they, too, car stage a good show for the inexperi. enced.
 l have often read accounts in tho newspapers telling of waves at set from 75 to 100 feet in height. Yot will find that such statements ar credited to passengers and never to the master of the vessel for evert seaman knows that the highes combers are the so-called cumula- tive waves as high as 25 feet. While a passenger liner is going through heavy seas a passenger gets a dis torted idea of the height due t. the fact that the ship is rolling. A the side of the ship dips slowly, tn passenger looks straight uD tht side of wave at an angle that gives him the impression the top some 100 feet above the deck line If this wave then strikes the slliT and perhaps damages a life boa on the boat deck, the passenger f convinced that, if this deck is SC feet from the water line, for exam pie, that the wave must be that height, or higher. As a matte of fact the vessel rolled to an angle that made it possible for the comb CT to strike it with terrific force and cause the damage.
 During the actual rescues of the crews of the Antinoe and Florida the weather conditions were re- versed. When my vessel reached the side of the British freighter there were heavy seas running, but after several days, had moderated to a point where the transfer wa made with ease. In the case of the Florida, the sea was fairly mod crate when Chief Officer Harry Manning started out with his boat crew. Slowly and almost without warning hail squall struck us and the wind was whipped to gale force the return from the Florida to the America extremely hazard ous.
 Considering the extreme condi- tions we are frequently obliged to face the number of marine casual ties are very small, due to the care and efficient handling of these huge ocean greyhounds in tumul- tous seas.

year the House suspended the practice
and Mr.. Beck was asked to deliver an
grafton instead.
Beck said that Washington's asso-
ciates regarded him as a man of un-
usual gifts. Jefferson spoke of Wash
ington's intellect as great and power
full" Mr.. Beck declared, land Patrick
Henry said that of all the members of
the first Continental Congress, Wash
ington was foremost for solid informal
ton and sound Judgment"
The Pennsylvania Representative
described Washington as having little
faith that the Constitution would by It
self be a panacea. He declared that the
safety Of the Union depended upon the
preservation of the rights of the States.

Family Play Hour
Keeps Youth Home

New Yo-k.-(F)-Even the family
flapper will give up q dance for a
family picnic or q night of games and
stories at home. says j. W. Faust,
chairman Of the recreation committee
of the National Parents and Teachers
association.
If parents want to keep their chill
dren away from the questionable dis
fractions OF this alleged flaming
youth era they must inaugurate fam
lily play hours in the home" he says.
I've seen a typical flapper pass up a
party to play with children on q
neighborhood playground. She said
she was afraid she would miss some
fun at home II che went to the party.
That is what people demand to-
day-joy Of life and fun. II parents
will take time to play with their chill
dren they need not worry about them
staying away from. home. Each fam
lily should budget its time as 1t does
its money and set aside a general play
hour at least one q week."

PRESIDENT DELAYED
IN SELECTING A Man
FOR FEDERAL BOARD
Disagreement Among Farm Or
CARNATIONS as to Best
Plan Of Wheat Aid

Washington. July 16.-R-The Sc
lection Of q representative Of the
wheat growing industry for the fed
eral farm board may require from
two to three weeks more study Of
available appointees by President
Hoover.
The president is being delayed in
the selection Of this member by a diff
ference of opinion among the COOP
erative grain associations. but Is
hopeful that he will finally find q
n acceptable to all.
Meanwhile. with several members
who have had experience in grain
marketing. President Hoover feels the
board is capable Of going ahead with
its preliminary program.
The disagreement among the wheat
men lies between those who are IN.
terested In organized wheat pools,
one important form of cooperative
farming, and a second group. itself
divided into two or three categortes,
which r allied with farmer-owned
and controlled elevators.
Realizing the Importance Of the Sc
lection Of a wheat spokesman and the
Importance of the wheat crop with
relation to the entire farm problem,
Mr.. Hoover is proceeding cautiously
in selecting an appointee. He is anx-
ious that the wheat factions compose
their differences and settle upon q
man acceptable to all.

Commissioner Mcdonnell said the

regional advisory board meeting. had
been put in the hands of the service
clubs Of the city and that they also
were to take charge of the program.
He hoped that the clubs would make
a hit of the occasion, as 1t had been
difficult to get the board meetings
away from Minnesota and Fargo and
Grand Forks. One meeting was held
at Valley City and that was so much
better than any ever held at the Twin
cities that the opposition was broken
down, nevertheless the Minnesotans
were reluctant to come as far as Bis
marck. The Northern Pacific finally
consented to run a special train here.
It is now up to Bismarck to convince
the visitors that the selection OF this
city was iustifiable, he said.
The regional board vas organized
in 1923. Since then Is similar boards
have been organized and the prob

these. while formerly there was con-
