After Joseph Jackson, alleged communist leader of New Haven got through outlining his plans for unemployment relief in this city, including the suggestion that the present mutual aid fund com mittee resign, the committee head ed by William M. Harris, chair man, unanimously voted to con- tinue it's operation. The action was taken at a meeting at the city hall yesterday afternoon when Chair man Harris and the mutual aid committee met Jackson and several of his associates.
 Jackson's claims were the same as those he proposed last Friday when he appeared before Mayor Hayes. Jackson said the committee conducting the unemployment re- lief in this city should resign and then the state would have to take care of the needy in this city. He was asked what would become of the 2200 families being cared for now by the committee. He answer ed that conditions would adjust themselves.
 When asked to cite a specific instance where a family was starv- ing in this city, one of Jackson's s associates, named Borgnis. told Of his own child who was dying be- cause of malnutrition.

DIFFERENCE SETTLED

Hubert Ryan. a graduate of Crosby high school and at present president of the student council at Washington college, Chester town, Md, yesterday resigned as did the entire student council as reorganization of the schools honor system was announced as an after math of disputation between members of the council and student body.
 A new election was called by council members last evening and the local boy was reelected presi- dent.
 The students have been dissatis- fled with the council personnel and the spy system which they claim under which registering students have been pledged to reveal any violations of rules on the part Of their school mates.
 It was reported that the student body has been holding secret par leys,the past few months in pro- test against the interpretation of the honor code which compels stu dents duty-bound to reveal all vlo- lations of rules on or off the cam pus.
 Following the interpretation made effective last night by vote of the students, the council hence forth will be obliged to look into any breach of conduct perpetrated at any place, but students at large will be required to report only vio' l lations detected in the class rooms

Colder Weather !. Due in State
Next Four Years to See Lower Temperatures

"From now until 1897 progress sively colder weather should be ex- perienced."
 This statement applies to Con- necticut and New York and Is the summary of the findings in study of the long-term relationship of temperatures completed by the Consolidated Gas company of New York. The study was made in four different cities, New York, New Haven, London and Berlin. A very l close relationship was revealed be- tween the mean temperatures of New Haven and New York. Why the weather should be des- tined to become colder each year until 1897 is not known. Experts have many theories concerning the cause of cold and warm weather. Some place their faith in "a change in the course of the air currents from the Arctic regions" while others are loyal to the theory that "the gulf stream is shifting" Re- gardless of which is correct, it can be asserted, says a report of the weather research, that whatever is shifting, it does it with machine like regularity. That much is re- vealed about New York and Con- necticut weather in the company's study.
 In the study. temperature rec ords stretching over 0 period of no years were used to arrive at the conclusion quoted in the first paragraph of this article. When these records were plotted and ad- justed or "smoothed" to exclude freak features, they showed for both the New York and Connecti- cut cities a definite tendency to- ward two complete cycles of weather every twenty years. Throughout more than. a century, this same tendency was obvious.
 Tn the present cycle with 1926 as the last year of minimum mean temperature, there has been steady climb in the mean tempera- ture curve until 1891 with its ex- tremely mild winter registered a very high level. Then, true to pre- vious form, the 1892 curve started downward with the mean tempera- ture last year being slightly below that of 1881.
 In doing this, the curve followed the exact trend it has in the past no years. If 1t continues to fol- low the trend, the mean tempera- ture will become progressively lower each year until 1897, the cycle thus being completed in ten years. to be followed by another upward and downward trend which will complete the two cycles in twenty years.
 Just how low the mean tempera- ture will drop cannot be determin- ed, since the charts used in the study reveal considerable irregular ity in high and low points. The trend now is definitely downward. however.
 Gas companies have been striv- ing for many years to determine facts of this nature, to discover not only the year to year trends, but those from month to month and day to day, since weather has a large effect on the public's demand for gas and since the companies must have on hand a supply of fuel which will meet whatever demand for service ia made.

LiQuOr Cases

Several Alleged Offenders Awaiting Action By
 Federal Court

"A large number of Waterbury offenders of the liquor law. who were scheduled for trial today be- fore Judge Carroll c. Hincks, in the United States district court ob- tained a continuance, which was rather unexpected, until March IA. Judge Hincks. who is presiding Tn the U. s. southern district of New York. requested the continuance. At first it was thought that the postponement would delay the trial of the cases until March 7th, but today is was announced in New Haven that Judge Hincks would not be available until the 14th.
 There is every indication that the docket of the U. s. district court when 1t convenes two weeks from today will be one of the largest in recent years. More than 100 cases are listed for trial.
 According to some reports there is evidence of disappointment among some of the offenders. It was apparently thought that Now York judge bould be invited to preside. Five Waterbury viola tors of the liquor law escaped with suspended jail sentences re- cently. which apparently explains the cherished hope of leniency.
