NEW YORK, September 1.-THE
world groaned with weather complaint
this Summer.
America had drought and extraordi-
nary heat waves England had the
coolest, wettest Summer weather within
living memory. Southeast Central
Europe experienced late Spring and a
June so hot schools had to be prema-
turely closed.
Ge many's Summer was remarkably
short and marked by frequent sunless
days Italy alternately shivered and
perspired France had TO go back to
1850 to find precedent for the chilly
wetneSs that affiicted her.
Belgium lost so per cent of her
wheat and oat crop in unusually per-
sistent rains and her potatoes rotted in
the ground. Norway was extraordi-
narily cold. Denmark changed daily
from brilliant sunshine to shivering
temperatures and ducked sudden
thunderstorms. Sweden was cold and
rainy.

Turks froze in the northern districts
and sweltered In the southern.

mer, usually a matter of only a Few

Despite explanations from the sec
