Two fire companies responded to fire in shingles on the roof of the home of Samuel L.

WEATHER ALWAYS
 SAME PUNDIT SAYS
Government Official Claims No
 Change,in Centuries

Washington, Aug. S.-tP-Inhabi- tants of sections in which old Sol has made 100 degree temperatures com- monplace in recent weeks and others which J. Pluvius has forgotten to rain upon for longer than that, might like to know that the weather hasn't changed permanently for more than 200 years.
 In fact. C. r. Marvin, chief of the weather bureau, believes there has been no permanent change in cli- mate for whole centuries on end. There may be trends. he comedies, of hotter, or colder, or drier or wetter weather for number of years. But on the whole, weather balances to about a constant factor.
 Conceding that almost every day brings a new weather record some place-and that most of new high temperature records have been add ed recently, Marvin contends loCali- ties and peak records might prove anything. Low rainfall records like wise have been added for periods eX- tending. in some parts of the coun- try from two to seven months.
 As an example, Washington had 25 inches of snow in 24 hours in January in 1922. That was more snow by several inches than has fallen in a day at St. Paul, Boston, Chicago or New York > since the weather bureau began keeping rec ords in 1870. But that did not prove, it was held that Washington gets more snow than the other cities or that it's winters were becoming more severe.
 Although the thermometer Is only 200 years old, the oldest national meteorological service in Europe, that Of France, Marvin said, ante dates the American service by only 15 years. To judge what the weather was before, he explained meteor ologists have studied river stages floods, heavy freezes, crop failures, famines and other unusual weather conditions recorded in histories or diaries.

Horace St. Burglary
 Is Solved by Feeney

For more than a week, the police have been working on a burglary in store at 50 Horace street, in which s was taken. There was no clue upon which to work, but De- tective Sergeant Thomas J. Feeney finally arrested a youth who made admissions that involved Walter Toczko, 17. of 49 Lyman street. Toczko lives but a few doors from the store and after much question ing admitted enough facts to cause a warrant to be issued for his ar rest.
 Toczko was brought into court today but at the request of Ser geant Feeney, the case was contlnu- ed for one day until the investiga- tion can be completed, It is be- lieved that other young men may be involved. and it is also probable that other mysterious breaks Of the past few weeks will be cleared up.
