We hate to have to say it, but
the latest scheme put forward by
so-called scientists for foretelling
the weather anywhere from one to
a few hundred years in advance has
proved a flop. We have that on
the word of J. B. Kincer, the
weather sharp of the Department
of Agriculture in Washington.
The latest notion was hat there
is a cycle which recurs every p
wears, connected somehow with the
temperance Of sun-spots, so that
in 1884, for example, the weather
would be the same, month by
month, as it was 1911. Mr.. Kincer
and his assistants took this idea
seriously enough to make 4,272
comparisons of the recorded facts
about the weather in the past fifty
years with what they would have
been if the sun-spot theory were
correct; and in more than half the
cases the weather didn't behave at
all like the forecast. Whether, it
seems, like human beings, doesn't
operate according to pre-concelved
plans.
The Weather Bureau folk are, in
fact, beginning to get very skep-
teal about all the time-honored
long-range plans for forecasting.
The theory of tree rings doesn't
work, they say, nor earthquakes.
Nile floods, the price of wheat or
any of the other familiar things
from which one was supposed to be
able to tell last Fall what the wealth.
'er will be next July. 1t seems a
pity, for it would be so simple to
turn to the almanac and look up
the date and be able to predict with
positiveness that it would not rain
on the Fourth of July this year.
That would be a splendid pre-
diction-if it came true. 1t is our
observation that it always rains on
the Fourth of July, especially if one
has planned a picnic
The latest method of our Weather
Bureau in Washington-and we
want to say right here hat those
folks know their business and 60 at
heir job of foretelling the weather
for a day or two ahead as we'll as
could be expected-is to send air
planes and balloons up at regular
intervals in a dozen different places
to catch the earliest signs of a
change in the upper air. They are
seldom far wrong-up to day after
tomorrow.
But when it comes to week after
next, we are afraid we will have to
continue to rely upon the old
fashioned goosebone method.

To write of health and May Day
together seems most appropriate.
If you are a parent, I say take 8
little time to be both thoughtful
and reverent. Think of what you
can do to further the cause of
child health, and be reverent be-
fore the blessedness of childhood.
If you belong to some organization,
talk up May Day. Get the mem
bership into planning something
for the children. Call on the school
officials to inquire how you can
help them.
Does the school have adequate
luncheon equipment? Perhaps you
can earn some money with which
to provide it. What does the school
nurse need? The possibilities are
without end. The principal thing
is to do something worthy on this
day set apart for our children.

the President Of the. United States

noancing May 1 Child Health Day.

| ran across the other day, a
word that was entirely new to me:
"callipygian." I spoke it, and
spelled it out, in a gathering of
about twenty persons, including
several University professors, and
nobody there had ever heard of it
before. Yet in my Standard Die
tionary it is not accompanied by no
such notation as "rare" or "obso-

that the educated element should
be familiar with.

to him.

We like to look at these statistics
about taxes. 1t always seems tc
us that there must be some way of
cutting them down, and we ponder
the subject with a great deal of
Anthusiasmr-in the beginning.
The more we ponder, however, the
more we wonder where the process
of tax reduction is going to begin.
What are taxes levied for? For
public works and the operation of
the Government. Well, would we
be content to improve fewer miles
of highway, to build fewer modern
bridges? We don't think so. Car
we get along with fewer and less
modern post offices, jails, court
houses, insane asylums, school
houses and parks? Some old
fashioned folks think We ought to.
Maybe they are right; but then:
again, who is to tell us where tc
begin looping off the unnecessary
enesa
1t seems to us it would help a
lot to tut down on political pay
rolls, but then what would become
of our political parties? Aren't
there enough people out of work
now, without throwing a lot more
on the relief?
We notice from these same
statistics that although English
people pay a higher percentage Of
their income S in taxes, they seem
to have more left than we do. The
tax burden on each individual If
England is about $93 a year. Il
that is a quarter of the average in
come, then the total income must
be about $72 per person. In thi.
country the per capita tax load il
about $64 a year. Estimating that
at one-fifth of the income, we only
have about $500 a year per head
1t may sound silly, but it look.
as if we needed to earn more money
per person. Possibly that is the
best way to try to pull ourselve:
out from under the tax load. II
won't be so heavy when the money
to pay it is more plentiful. May
be there's something in this idea Of
making dollars cheaper. The
cheaper dollar won't buy as much
of some things as the present dolla,
does, but it will go just as far a.
% in paying taxes.

SOME IDEAS ABOUT TAXES

Back in 1926 we used to lister
with interest not untinged with
pity when folks told us that in Eng
land the taxes were so high that i,
took almost a quarter of the ma
tional income to pay them. We
were rather proud of the fact that
in the United States, Jumping
Federal, State and local taxes to-
gether, the average citizen only
paid about II percent of his in
come, directly and indirectly, in
taxes.
But now comes along the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
we are not quite sure how much
it knows about it but its title
sounds as if it ought to know how
to do simple arithmetic-and tells
us that this whole picture has
changed. Between 1926 and 1882
the tax burden in Great Britain has
risen from % percent of the total
income of its people to a shade
owe rs percent; but here in the
United States, in the same period,
our tax burden has increased from
