TOW that unusually heavy fall rains seem to have
~ brought the drought to definite end, the time
is Opportune to summarize the statistics for the
period.
Never before in the history of the United States
weather bureau has little rain fallen over so wide
a territory throughout the entire growing season as
this year. In addition, record-breaking heat made
conditions worse.
j. B. Kincer chief of the division of climate and
crop weather of the United States weather bureau,
points out that other years, notably loS4-So, lSOI
1910, 1914 and 1880. were extremely dry in many
sections but year since the bureau seventy years
ago. started recording daily rainfall has been so
generally deficient in rainfall in April, May, June
and July. the present.
The present situation was aggravated by the fact
that in the past, DRY years have been precedeo by
years OF adequate rainfall. But many OF the sec
lions affected by this years drought were also def

eral years before 1888 The moisture shortage from

in Missouri This was a shortage Of 1000 tons Of
water for every acre Of land in the state.
The moisture shortage during the same period
was 1909 inches in Indiana, 1914 inches in Iowa,
1888 inches in Ohio. % inches in Nebraska, and
9e3 inches in North Dakota.
Only few sections OF the country reported RAIN
fall above normal from January through August
this year. They were: Florida, l26 per cent; New
England. 104 North Carolina, los. and Virginia. l01.
Four other states came close to normal for the
period. They were Alabama. % per cent; South
Carolina. 81: Maryland 90, and Delaware, 90.
Scanty snowfall in the western mountains last
winter added TO. the rayages Of the drought this
spring and summer by cutting down the irrigation
water supply. The seasonal snowfall in California

says In Colorado it was just about half normal.

weather bureau. Mr.. Kincer says.
There is TO reason. however. he says. for worry
ing about next years crops. The heat and drought
OF the past need not necessarily acct crops
in 1855. Good autumn rains and heavy winter
SHOWS could restore the sell moisture needed for
seedlings both this fall and next spring.
Reports so far indicate that rainfall during the

Hemrood's for Running Stories

ONE consolation and one alone remains with me.
~ feel that the two-eyed folk read an enormous
amount of current reports which turn out to be in
accurate They are under the compusion of giving
up much which they have found to be not worthy
of assimilation. one eye reduces me to a starvation
diet of reading. 1 miss great deal which is going
on but also avoid great deal that isn't going on
but merely appears in the current headlines.
I want to hear of the damage caused by the fire
long before it's under control like running stories
of baseball games and polo matches. even would
like to see running dramatic reviews to be written
hot while the show still on. After all, didn't
somebody say that there truth or knowledge or
something or other in the running brooks?
But every paper ought to have department in
which there should appear nothing but five star final
announcements.
Under strict definition there never are very many
"factS" But suppose some few things can be iden-
titled as authentic beyond argument. These are the
happenings which washed up. signed, sealed and
delivered and with just eye could handle those
and let the rest of the news go its way into rumor
denial and retracton.

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

WHENEVER you feel the slightest irritation in
w your mouth, and your tongue seems constantly
to be seeking it out, you should suspect an lntiam-
nation that may become serious with neglect.
Infiammations of the mouth may follow burning,
by taking soup or coffee that is too hot or by eating
highly spced foods or irritants, such as mustard.
Most frequently however infections result from I'M
proper of the teeth, from the abuse or TOBACCO
or snuff or similar rritants, and occasionally from
wearing of dental plates that do not fit satisfactorily
You might also contract Inflammation of the
mouth from an infection in the throat
OF course, you know that even a tiny spot of in
fammation in the mouth is annoying. ANY small
ulcer feels three timees large as it actually is.
In addition, Inflammation of the mouth results
in a chronic bad taste, in an odor and in swelling
While adults are not likely to suffer much with such
infiammations, children may develop fevers and be
seriously sick.
DABIES frequently suffer with an Inflammation OF

membranes and the gums due to variety OF causes
Sometimes the trouble is simple lack OF cleanliness.

Sometimes the mouths of infants are disturbed
by acute infections, such as those associated with
measles, diphtheria, scarlet fever or mumps. Babies
also put objects which they happen to find lying
about into their mouths and become infected from
this kind of material.
Whene, er the mouth is infiamed, it is first nec-
essary to find the This involves not only loca-

may be concealed in the gums or around the teeth.
Turing the time of Inflammation all irritating

be avoided. The foods taken should be cool and

The mouths of infants should be carefully

the inhammations, but they do help to control the
odor and to give a feeling of greater comfort Most
mouth washes contain antiseptic substances which
in MANY instances serve also to reduce the pain
The diets of those with chronic infiammations OF
the mouth should always be studied to make certain
that there is a sufficient amount Of vitamns ana

period referred to him as "dar-.
ing Wall Street speculator and
plunger," a free lance, who re-
garded industry as he would a
roulette wheel or racing book.
Later comments grew laudatory.
His work untangling industry's
desperate problems during war
and postwar days was praised
highly. Mark Sullivan, one of the
most severe critics Of the present
administration, praised BarUch
then in high terms, and said Il
can't imagine anything he
couldn't accomplish.
The tall, gray-haired Wall
Street man swept through Wash
ington in those days in much the
manner his helper, Hugh john
son, has done in the last year. He
pulls the reins out Of everyone
else's hands and goes ahead and
acts, regardless of authority,
money or detail" said a cortem-
porary writer.
But between his methods and
Johnson's there is the widest pos
sible difference.
MIR. BARUCH moves quietly,
4VA poised, and sure of himself.
One of his associates says Of him
eff he had to cut off a head he
would be polite about it." He
glories in getting people with di-
verse interests into the same room
and inducing them to cooperate.
He does it without letting any Of
them become angry. He will COM
promise, or even change his whole
plan of action in order to get
ahead, get something done.
He acts on lunches, intuitions,
yet he keeps a staff Of men busy
compiling statistical data for use
in his private operations.
Unlike Johnson, he is no ora
tor. Yet he will philosophize by
the hour to his friends.
An artist said of him: HE
looks like an eagle, replete and
now benevolent" Yet his asso-
ciates emphasize his personal
charm.
He has been, for years. firm
believer in industrial self-govern-
ment, and in the theory Of high
wages as stimulant TO business.
After the war he rejected the
idea that an agency similar to
his industries board should con-
tinue exercising some control over
industry. He is opposed to tariffs
high enough to restrict foreign
trade.

Should they abandon their
