Sunshine and Clouds.

no you live IN q sunshine center" or q
cloud zone? Did you know that certain
parts Of North America are very definitely
marked IS regions Of sunshine, while other
parts are known as areas Of cloud?
While most Of the wealth and population
centers lie east of the Mississippi, the country's
sunshine center is situated In the extreme
Southwest, near the mouth Of the Colorado
River. Yuma, Ariz., furnishes the dot on the
map on which to place compass and draw
the circle into which the smbeams pour almost
ceaselessly during the daylight hours. Only Is
days in the average year can be called cloudy
ones IN Yuma and in q roughly circular area
about 100 miles from the city IN every direction.
Considering the length Of the days as well
as their number, the region around Yuma and
embracing the southwestern third of Arizona
gets IS per cent Of all the sunbeams aimed at
it during the year, while 90 per cent of all the
sunshine that could be received hits the mark
in the southeastern end Of California, practi-
cally the whole Of Arizona, Southwestern New
Mexico and the little, sharp, westernmost point
Of Texas around e Paso.
The cloud center" Of the United States also
Is located IN the Far West. 1t Is located In q
little region In Western Washington near the
the days there are cloudy and an additional 80
per cent are partially cloudy. About this CEN
ter is large area Of only slightly less marked
cloudiness.
There are two secondary cloud centers" in
the East. On the southeastern shore Of Lake
Ontario and in the Upper Peninsula Of Michi-
gan, between Lakes Superior and Michigan,
three quarters Of the days in year are either
cloudy or partly cloudy
Sunshine and clouds both have a dollars and
cents value. In the sunshine region the $50 per
cent sunshine" slogan tells that part Of the
country to thousands of tourists and health

man. The teeth are like those of men who are
now living. And the size of the skull, though
smaller than that Of man, is considerably larger
than that of an ape. Scientists have learned
many other things regarding these bones, and
they believe they belonged to a man, not ex-
actly the sort Of man that lives today, but some
sort Of "ape man. having some sort Of inteIli-
gence, the ability to talk and some skill in the
fashioning Of implements.
And so they gave him the name PithecAn-
tropus erectais, which means "the erect ape
man." While they are not certain about
whether this was man or an ape and are
In doubt about many things regarding the men
and animals who lived 80 very long ago. SCI
entists are continually searching all over the
world for the bones and other relics Of the an
cstofs Of man and other animals so that they
may some day be able to ten US more about
them than they can do now.

CITY MARSHAL TO ACT
 AS DOG-TAX COLLECTOR

Collection of taxes was one of the main issues before the regular monthly meeting of the City Coun- Gil last evening. All members but two, Robt. Bonner and A. F. Gran berg, were present.
 According to the report of City Clerk Felix Gray, property taxes have come in fine and receipts to date show something over $500 in excess for the same period last year. But dog taxes haven't come in so good. A number have paid for their canines but others have not. From now on it will be the dog tax or the dogs life, and Mar shal Bliss has received orders to proceed at once to collect one or the other as a result of action talk en at the meeting last night.
 Clerk Gray was directed to have a list of the delinquent property taxes at an early date.
 Report of the progress made so far on street work and wharf re- pairs revealed that three or four days more of favorable weather will see the wind up of the city dock for the year. Work on the Second Street bridge is progressing slowly but it is hoped to have it com- pleted in two weeks more.

WOMAN DEBATERS
DISCUSS TARIFF
Representatives Rogers and
Norton Argue High and
Low Rate Proposals.

Two women high in public life en-
gagged in radio debate on the tariff
today, expressing their theories in terms
calculated to appeal to the American
housewife.
Representative Edith Nourse Rogers
of Massachusetts, defended the high
protective tariff of the Republicans
while Representative Mary T. Norton of
New Jersey upheld the Democratic low
tariff principles The debate was broad
cast from Station WMAL over the Co
lumbia Broadcasting system.
Representative Rogers argued that
protection for one is a benefit to all
and discrimination against the producer
is bound to react against the con-
sumner"
Warning of the dangers in lowering
tariff barriers, she said, the tariff
should not discriminate against any
section or any class of producers"
Representative Norton devoted part
of her address to a direct attack on
the Hawley- Smoot tariff bill. She de-
fined 1t as IAN extraordinary protection
to the already overprotected rich indus
tries of this country, whose considera-
ton is not so much their employees as
it Is world dominance"
She also declared that the American
policy of buying from the debtor nations
on our own terms is prejudicial to the
interests Of world peace.

one by Frederic A. Delano, president
of the Chest, the other by Mrs. Elwood
Street, wife of its director.
Recalling promises kept by the Com
munity Chest during the past year as
a basis for its continued support by
the people of Washington this year,
Mr.. Delano called attention to some of
the achievements of the Chest in its
first year here. Social work execu-
tives have been relieved of the burden
of raising money, he explained, and
enabled to devote their entire time to
constructive service.
Only Necessities Included.
"Only organizations which accom-
pliSh necessary work have been adj
mitted to the Chest" Mr.. Delano said.
1.-The budgets of these agencies were
approved only after detailed study
by committee of experienced and re-
sponsible citizens. Business-like adj
ministration, coupled with competent
bookkeeping, regular service reports and
audited financial accounts have result
ed in larger percentage of every dollar
going into actual constructive work.
every contributor has had share
in controlling the Community Chest
through ballots on which he might vote
for persons nominated for the board of
trustees. Furthermore, the Community
Chest bills have carried on them space
for suggestions and criticisms by con-
tributors.
Contributions to the Chest for 1929
amounted to $1,487 ,0O0 considerable
increase over the amount previously
raised by separate appeals of member
organizations. The increase was neceS-
sary to prevent deficits and borrowings
which existed under the old system.
Whereas only $4,000 givers were listed
in 1923 by the 81 separate appeals. the
Chest received contributions from $1,000
people. Collections already have
collections are in, in spite of additional
appropriations which have been made
necessary, surplus of about 100000
will be left, which will be applied to
reducing the amount which otherwise
would have to be raised this year.
Whereas the separate appeals before
cost anywhere from Is to Is per cent
of the funds collected, the Chest con-
Quoted the campaign and collected and
disbursed the funds at cost of 6 per
cent in 1929, and this will be reduced
to So per cent in $780,"
Mrs. Street spoke at the Sunday
school meeting of the Swedenborgian
Church, Sixteenth and Corcoran streets.
UnderpriviIeged Children Aided.
She explained the care of under
privileged babies and children under
the supervision of the visiting nurses
and opportunities with the Boy and
Girl Scouts and also in the Summer
camps Of the Y. NJ. and Y. w. C. A.
The Associated Charities and the
Travellers Aid Society were praised.
Mrs Street explained that the con-
tributions this year may be given on
a tournament plan.
