AVERAGES CHART
DEFINES WEATHER
New Kind of Calendar En-
ab|es One to Judge Tenn
perature Changes.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Is today warm or cold?
The answer is largely relative-to
how the individual happens to be
feeling and to the average for the
particular time Of year.
H. A. Lyman Of the Weather
Bureau has worked out new kind Of
calendar for the District Of Columbia,
based on the averages as shown by
the bureaus records over 20 years.
He suggests that on an ordinary CAL
endar the average for each day be
noted beside the day itself. Then, by

comparing this entry with the actual
record of the thermometer for the
day itself, one can tell Immediately
whether there is any abnormality of
temperature.
Here is the record, as he has COM
piled it:
January-First 8 days, "a F.; next
81 days. 80 F.; last day, "a F.
February-First 10 days, "a F.:

Of Summer, the 20 days following
July 8.
One point, hitherto hardly recog-
nized, which is brought out by the
calendar of averages, is the steady
progress Of the temperature upward
and downward with the advancing
season. Curiously, however, Spring
and Autumn advance in Washington
by series Of short jumps once every
two or three days. There are very
few one-day intervals.

kidnaper until department of jus- tice agents sought her aid in gain ing Mrs Stolls safe release.
 Return of Mrs Robinson to Louisville with Mrs Stoll, Huggins said, proved her good faith. She was arrested by federal agents who intercepted an automobile in which she, Mrs Stoll and the Rev and Mrs E. Arnold Clegg were driving from Indianapolis to Louis- vile, after Mrs Stoll's release.
 E. J. Connolly of the Bureau of Investigation said Mrs Robinson's claims were an absolute untruth." !"
 Demands Mrs StOn
 Special guards posted at Mrs Robinson's cell in the county jail said she demanded again to see Mrs Stoll, with who she apparently has not communicated since she was taken to jail and her wealthy companion to her home.
 Four federal agents watched the defiant young prisoner in relays to prevent an attempt at suicide. Jail guards yesterday discovered a g. inch pairing knife in her purse.
 Investigators revealed today that only the demands made by the in- fluential Stoll family for a clear field in which to negotiate with the kidnaper prevented them from capturing Robinson last Tuesday.
 The Indianapolis apartment in which Mrs Stoll was held was To- cated then by trailing Mrs Robin son with the ransom money from Nashville, they said. Because or fear that Robinson, cratic and oc- caslonally violent, might kill his prisoner, no attempt was made to raid the flat. AHA
 As soon as Mrs Stoll and Mrs Robinson left the building alone, watching agents made futile raid. Their quarry was gone.
 Mrs Stoll, confined to her bed- room since her return home, was sufficiently recovered today from cold and beating by the kidnaper. to walk about the house. A long scalp laceration, made by a leaG pipe with which she was slugged. was said to be healing nicely.

Sergeant Detective Henry Johnson and Detective Joseph Bendler. Trying to make his escape, Toma- saitis attempted to run down the detectives with his car, but was captured. After being held for fed- eral court, he was given a year and a day at .stlanta.
 Wo--.an Was Arrested
 Three days after Tomasaitis was arrested, Hefen Delinikaitis was arrested here and charged with conspiracy i1 conehtion with the passing of counterfeit bills. She was placed on probation after a hearing in federal court.
 The small towns of Vermont And New Hampshire have long been a favorite place for Connecticut crim- inals to attempt passing spurious money. New England of late has been flooded with counterfeits and many federal men have been as- signed to this territory. Three youths were arrested by federal men in New Britain last week on counterfeit charges.

Federal Agents On
 Trail OF Robinson

wich when a radio announcer be- gan talking of the Stoll Kidnapping.
 Russellville is about 70 miles south of Springfield, within a few hours driving distance of a half- dozen bridges over the Ohio river into Kentucky.
 Four persons who agreed on identity of the suspect said he was about 5 feet, Il inches tall, weighed about 145 pounds, had dark hair and blue or gray eyes. The witnesses said he kept a cap pulled low over his eyes. The de- scription tallies closely with the appearance of Robinson.
 The search in Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania was directed by Mel win Pyrvis, the Chicago chief of federal agents who led Dillinger into a death trap.
 Police to Cooperate
 Police of seven eastern states were ordered to watch for small dark coupe with Indiana license numbers 590-101.
 As far west as Chicago the search grew in intensity. Agents working under direct orders from Washington ferreted out possible clues in Cincinnati, Nashville, Memphis. Louisville, Indianapolis, Peoria and Detroit.
 Most hopeful development of the pursuit, in the estimation of Har- old L. Nathan. assistant director or the Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion, was discovery in Springfield of a $5 bill included in the ransom paid by Berry V. Stoll. millionaire husband of the socially prominent victim.
 Nathan interpreted this discov- cry to mean Robinson has only the $49,5O0 of ransom money with which he fled and will be forced to spend some of 1t daily. With serial numbers of every bill broad cast over the country, 1t will furn- ish an all-important clue to his movements.
 May Hide For Weeks Fear had been felt that $500 of other currency supposed to be m Robinson's possession would enable him to hide for weeks without detection. His young wife. Fran- ces, held in Louisville under $50.- 900 bond as an accomplice. said she gave him $500 of her money in exchange for an equal amount from the ransom payment. Federal agents intended to question her again today. A special grand jury session was ordered for tomorrow to cohsid CT evidence against Robinson. his wife and Thomas H. Robinson, ST, Nashville contractor, who was named in a note left in Mrs Stoirs home as an intermediary. He was freed under $25,000 bond yester- day for hearing October 26. Wife Says "Double Cross" Mrs Robinson. crying double cross" insisted that she was in- volved in the kidnapping only as an intermediary acting under orders of federal agents and state author. ities.
