BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Data of one of the queerest Springs
on record are being complied by J. B.
Kincer, chief of the division of cli-
matology of the Weather Bureau.
The three months of March, April
and May constitute the meteorological
Spring, as distinguished from the sea-
son of the astronomers. which starts
March 81 and ends June 81. The
abnormal conditions. Mr.. Kincer's rec
ords show, have gotten progressively
worse from beginning to end with the
spread of what threatens to be the
biggest drought in American history.
Like a great octopus. the drought
appears to be reaching out its ten
tacles over more and more territory.
although it is impossible to make any
valid predictions as to what will hap
pen during the next few weeks. Thus
far the Atlantic Seaboard States have
been cooler and wetter than normal.
but already a tentacle of the drought
seems to have clutched parts of New
York State and Northern New Eng
land.
Progressive in Nature.
Like most droughts, this one is pro-
gressive The longer the rain holds
off the less chance of rain. The
sitaution is made worse by the almost
continental character OF the phe-
nomenon. If rain falls somewhere,
there is moisture to be drawn into
the air and precipitated as rain some
where else.
Fourteen all-time May heat records
were broken through the Midwest,
with temperatures from SO to l06.
The latter mark, reached at Sioux
City. Iowa, was six degrees above the
highest ever known before for the
month. Records were broken at 10
Weather Bureau stations: Keokuk.

 To Jews Requested
Dr s. Parkes Cadman Appeals for Help in Attaining

An appeal to. Christians through. Gut the country to rally to the sup- port of the United Jewish Appeal which is seeking S3,OOO, ,000 fund Tor German refugees has been broadcast by pr S. PArkes Cadman. chairman of the American Chris Han Committee for German Re- fugees.
 Pointing out that q "fair num- Der" of these refugees arc Chris. tlanB and that they have been as- sieted by Jewish orga nizations, DF CudmLn declared that "I should be ashamed of my fellow Christians, l should deem them untrue to the teachings that have come down 10 us from Mount Zion if the Chris. fianB of America should not Insist on being privileged to supply q very substantial part Of this money.
 The text of Dr Cadman's appeal fOllows:
 "The attack on the Jews of Ger. many, Is not merely an attack upon the Jews alone, but on democracy of liberalism, on the free worship of God and on the right of men to think thoughts other than those imposed upon them by despotic dictatorship.
 "Nnzisn has thrown Into concen. tration camps, or forced into exile, Christians as well as Jews, whose achievements would do honor to any country in the world. It is Gubjecting little children, to q daily martydom that 10 in direct defiance of tho teachings of Hlm Who said: Suffer little children that they should come unto Me- By their acts, the Na2ls have sot Christianity at naught and nre seeking to sub. tect tho church to q noxlous doc. trino of neo.paganism, based on old idolatrles.
 "In addition to the half million Jews enslnvcd in Germany. SO, ,000 T-many of whom are It's best poo. ple--are virtual wanderers on the face of the earth, bitterly Atrug- giing 10 readJust themselves In strange lands but 10 whom, because of general economic conditions, they are becoming . difficult prob. hm. What will become of them, nnlesS the world comes Go their as. &istanee, no ono knows. and ono hositates to foreteil. save only to say that unless the world comes co their aid, tho consequences to all of them, Christian as well as Jews, will be dire.
 "The sum asked by tho United Jewish Appeal is s3,000, 900. l should be ashamed of my fellow. Christians, 1 should deem them un. true to tho teachings that have como down to us from Mount Zion If the Christians of America should not insist on being privileged to supply q very substantial part of fhiB money, which in the words Of Mir Mcdonald, Is for tho solution, not of n Jewish problem, but of n Fundamental human problem.
 "As m officer of tho American Christian Committee for German Refugees. 1 should bo most happy fl my Christian. aA well as Jewish listeners. would send their Contri. buttons to the United Jewish Alp. peal, Inc address of which is 100 East 42nd street, New York city"
