Of a bill in ne mouse OF its origin
after ~ hours before the date set
for adjournment.
The Long motion was tabled and
the rule suspended until tomorrow
night on all bills.
Long claimed the statements Of
advocates Of the cigaret tax
amendment that it was merely a
corrective measure was false and
that it was not intended to make
it more enforceable but to extend
its scope. The amendment pro-
vides that the tax shall be paid on
the first sale or use Of cigarets
in Texas. The "uSe' clause would
prohibit cigaret smokers from buy
ing cigarets by mail from out of
state manufacturers without pay
ing the three-cent tax before the
cigaretS were smoked.
Treasurer Charley Lockhart re-
ported to the legislature that plans
were being made by leading Gig
aret manufacturers to carry on eX-
tensive mail order campaigns to
evade the tax. 1t will begin oper-
alton Aug. %.
Rep. T. H. McGregor said the
tax on the use" would be a VIC
lation OF federal statutes in that
it would levy a tax on interstate
commerce. McGregor also con-
tended that unless the amend
ment obtained 100 votes the entire
tax bill would not be effective until
80 days after the session ended
and that collection Of taxes could
not be started Aug. %.

was defeated in the House of Commons
year after a general election. Lord
Byng declined to dissolve Parliament
and called on Arthur Meighen to form
a government. When Meighen was de-
feated within week an election had
to follow. The constitutional issue
the right Of governor general to de-
cline the advice of the premier to dis
solve Parliament-was one of the main
features of the campaign and the re-
tain that never again would a governor
general reject a premier's advice.
Social Duties Increase.
But as the political duties have be-
come less the social burden at Rideau
Hall has grown. Succeeding occupants
have taken an increasing interest in
the development of Canadian literature
and art; in Canadian sports and in
dustry. Lord Dufferin was the first to
encourage the collection of Canadian
folk songs; Lord and Lady Aberdeen
took an active part in encouraging edu-
cation; Lord and Lady Wilmington
established contests In poetry, art and
sculpture.
And now comes the Earl of Bess-
borough, the first of the line to be
keenly interested in amateur theatricals.
He arrives at time when the first
attempt is being made TO establish a
Canadian theater and more interest Is
being taken in this phase of the new
governor generals activities than in the
fact that he is the first business man
to occupy Rideau Hall.

Study of Ocean Surface Temperature
Enables Weather Forecast Over Land

For many centuries the prediction Of
weather for any length of time in the
future has been a question which has
interested some of the best minds OF
these ages. The thickness of Brother
ChipmunkS fur coat and the amount
of food stored by squirrels and other
animals have all had their day, to-
gether with the common patent medi-
cine almanac. The old adage, Perhaps
rain, perhaps no." has in the main been
the ordinary result.
Recent tests have included the de-
termination of the frequency of sun
spots and the variation of solar radia-
ton, and now comes a further scientific
conclusion based on the study of a
large amount of data collected over a
period of years. The revelations CEN
ter in the announcement by DR.. George
F. McEven and DR.. A. r. Groton, at
the University Of California, that it Is
now possible to predict with a fair de-
gree OF accuracy just what atmospheric
temperatures will be, in a given vicinity,
for three months in advance.
For more than IL years the efforts
of these men have been occupied chiefly
In investigating phenomena upon
which could be based seasonal predic-
ton for rainfall and precipitation, par
ticularly during the Winter months,
over California and the Western States.
They have been singularly successful
in their predictionSmRnd in connection
With this problem they found that the
