Farmers Of Fairfax county vir.

the temperature effect was not a direct result of the solar change but an indirect one as is proved by the fact that in some months a rise in solar radiation will cause 8 rising temperature at Washington, while in other months a similar rise will cause a falling temperature. "Evi- dently, therefore, the influence oper- ates through some atmospheric me- chanism as yet not understood. It may help us to compare this large effect from so small a cause to the enormous energy with which a gun responds to very slight pull of the trigger"
 As to the possible use of his re- suits in weather forecasting, Dr. Ab- bot said it would be risky to under take this until the reasons are the year is to send the temperature up and at another down.
 The speaker concluded his re- marks on note of caution and of hope: My results thus far are ten tative. I propose to study barome. tric pressures as well as temper;t- lures, and to extend the investiga- ton to other parts of the United States and the world. I have made preliminary studies, too, of 10-day mean values of solar radiation and temperature, and hope that in this way, if reliable weather-forecasting data are really secured, they may be extended to months and seasons in advance"

MORON TEST TRIED
 0N RECKLESS LAD
Blocks Will Be Used in QuiZzing
 Careless Drivers

Evanston, H., Sept. Is (UP)-The Evanston traffic court was stocked today with nursery blocks and jig saw puzzles for moron test" which will be given to motorists who persist in violating traffic laws.
 Drivers whose mental age doesn't equal the legal driving age will be deprived of the use of their automo- piles for periods as long as one year.
 George Rainfall, 19, appeared be- fore Magistrate Harry H. Porter on a third charge of reckless driving, and underwent the, psychological study. When the tests rated his mental age at eight years and eight months, his parents were ordered to keep him from driving for one year.
 The prize question shot at Rainfall by Prof. John J. Morgan, head of the Northwestern University depart ment of psychology, was:
 A woman was found cut up into IS pieces and they contended she committed suicide. Do you think it was suicide or murder?"
 Rainfall wasn't certain.

 He said he had been requested to make the broadcast by the republi- can congressional committee.
 My talk will be on Tammany and conditions in this city," Harbord said, flor the benefit of the remain der of the country. It will not be an answer to Mayor Walkers speech except in that 1 shall tell the nation what is transpiring in this city under Tammany rule. That in itself will be sufficient answer to the mayor"

SAYS SUNS SPOTS
 GOVERN WEATHER
Smithsonian Secretary Presents Proof Of Phenomenon

Washington, D. C., Sept 5-The heat given of by the sun varies from day to day. The earth's tenn perature varies in response to these short period changes in solar radia ton. It may be that these facts will make it possible to forecast weather a week in advance. That is the gist of a paper read yesterday before the annual meeting of the American Astronomical society by Dr. Charles G. Abbot, secretary of the Smithson- ian institution. Should the prospect of weather forecasting on the basis Of solar radiation be realized, to- days announcement must stand as one of the epochs in the history of meteorology.
 Dr. Abbot pointed out that his newest results are the latest achiev- ed at the Smithsonian in more than 30 years of continuous investigation of the sun. Though he and his as- sociates had long known definitely that the amount of solar radiation varied, and had foreseen and ob- served casually resultant influence on the earth's temperature, this is the first time that unmistakable proof of large influence has been ob- tained by them.
 Correlation Observed
 In essence this proof consists in the fact that since January 1, 1924, whenever solar radiation increased or decreased continuously for a pe- riod of four or five days to a maxi mum or a minimum, the temperd- ture at Washington and other sta tions showed a definite Reflection up or down, beginning four days before and continuing till at least four days after the maximum or minimum. The vital point in proving that this correlation between solar variation and temperature change was not mere chance is that for each month over the period measured, the curve showing change in temperature at time of rising solar radiation is opposite to the curve showing change in temperature at time of idilllS SOldI IduldllOll. Hat IS, dS the cause reverses itself, so the ef- feet reverses itself.
 In all, between January 1, 1924, and May 29, 1880, there were exam ined 9S cases of rising and 91 cases of falling solar radiation. Dr. Ab- bot stated that this was a sufficient number of instances to put the tenn perature effect to real test.
 The amount of the temperature effect was in most instances as much as 5 degrees Fahrenheit, while the solar variation cause averaged only 0.S per cent. Dr. Abbot saw in this the principal reason to question his results. The temperature effects are so large" he said, and the so- lar variation cause so small that weather students may hesitate to &C., tcept these startling conclusions. Yet the body of evidence is so large and harmonious that I find myself con- strained to accept them as correct"
 Effect An Indirect One
 As possible explanation of this apparent incongruity of cause and effect, Dr. Abbot pointed out that

chair immediately behind him.
 The Idahoan said Parker based his decision against the union in the Red Jacket coal case upon the 1917 decision of the supreme court in the Hitchman case.
 If that case stood alone, such an inference as that drawn by Circuit Judge Parker might be justified" |" Borah said, citing the 1927 tri-cities case which he said should have of fered Parker a guide to rule in favor of the union.
 Ten years had elapsed between the Hitchman and the Tri-City cas- es,' he added. "A vast amount of criticism came from lawyers and lay men against the ruling in the Hitch man case, and if l can understand the English language, the court an- l swered that criticism in the Tri-City case and reversed itself. Held Unions in Right Tt held that labor unions had the right to peacefully persuade non- union workers to join them. Yet the effect of Judge Parker's decision was to say to the work CTS you cannot even discuss with each other the advisability of joining the 1 union.'
 Borah was seldom interrupted as 1 tho lawyers and constitutional au- | thorites listened to his argument. | His voice was much improved since l yesterday. His deep voice reverberat- ed. He waved his horn trimmed spec 1 tacles to stress his points and shook his head so vehemently that his long gray hair at times dropped over his eyes as he attacked what he called "the Parker alibi." T would never vote to put upon the supreme bench man who has already expressed himself in favor of the Yellow Dog contract" Borah said. II think this is so fundame ental, so righteous of itself, that it is up to the senate to call a halt.
 The court is divided on this ques- ton. The issue of such anti-unon contracts is there before the court again.
 If Judge Parker should be con- firmed it is moral decision of the senate in favor of the Yellow Dog contract"

Workmen Sought Who
 Found Money in Tree

Binghamton, N. r., April 29 LP) Two itinerant workmen who disappeared after cutting down a hollow tree in which they are be- lieved to have found $1S,000 were being sought by police to- day.
 The arrest of the men was asked by William Pittsely a far mer of Columbus, N. r., who had hired them to cut down the tree. He said the men showed him the money. which was in bills Of large denomination and appeared to have been in the hollow trunk for a long time.
 Residents Of the eighborhocd had two theories to account for the hoarded wealth. One was that the money was the loot from a bank robbery that occurred here about 10 years ago in which the robbers went to prison but no trace ever was found Of the stolen cash.
 The other theory was that Ar thur Parmctier, former owner of the farm and reputcd wealthy, had hidden the money.
