Severe Winter Seen

1894 Weather Supports Finding of no Year Iem'
 perature Survey Colder Until l937

Gas companies in Connecticut, whose interest in weather .proba- bilities is based on the necessity for having a sufficient supply of gas on hand to meet heating res ouirements under all conditionA are of the belief that the onconi- ing winter of 1934-35 will match. if mot exceed, the winter of 1SSS-' 34 in temperature and storm ~se- verity.
 This belief has its foundation | in an exhaustive research or weather cycles completed in New Haven, New York. London and
 Berlin more than a year ago. As far as New Haven and New York were concerned the resultspof the survey. made public early in 1885. were summed up in the sentence,

 Not only was this finding borne out by the unusual extremes or last winter, but the survey. con- ducted by the Consolidated Gas Company of New York. revealed definite cycles of temperatures
 with the graph for the years or 1884 to 137 definitely pointed downward. Experts have many theories concerning the cause or
 warm and cold weather. Some place credence in the theory of "a change in the course of air currents
 from the Arctic regions" while
 others claim that long-term
 changes are caused by "a shift in
 the Gulf Stream" Regardless Of
 what idea may. be correct, it can
 be asserted. said the report on

consideration temperature records stretching over period or llO years. When these records were plotted and adjusted or 'smothed" to exclude freak features, they, showed for the New. York and Con- necticut cities a rather rigid ten-7 dency toward two complete cycles of weather every 20 years Through out more than aScentury the some tendency was noted.
 In the present cycles, with 1926 as the last year of minimum mean temperature, there was steady. climb in the mean temperature there was steady climb in the mean, temperature curve until 1881 which ha an extremelY mild wi1- ter and registered a very high level. Then, true to previous form, the 1892 curve started downward with mean temperature slightly below that of 1931s Althoughsthe surveys graph ended with the winter of s1932r33, the sharp down ward pitch of last winter showed that the curve of mean ternpera- ture was following the route of past cycles. ! % ses:
 If the trend continues. the mean temperature will become progres- sively colder until 1887, the cycle thus being completed in ten years, to be followed by. another upward and downward trend which will complete the two cycles in 20 years, as has been the case over the 110 year period.
 Just how low the mean temper ature will drop cannot be deter mined, since the charts used in the long-term temperature study re- veal considerable irregularity in hig hand low points. The trend, however, is definitely downward and indicates no improvement for | 1885 over 1884.

Davis has taken TugWelps place
as chief adviser on the policies
of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration.
When the eminent DIR. Tug
well sought his promotion last
year to the job of Undersecre-
tary, Senator Smith bucked the
Administration. He first de-
clined to report the nomination
of the "brain truster" and in
the face of heavy pressure
fought him at every turn.
But with the support of the
Administration and ProgressiveS,
Tugwell was confirmed.
Smith had contended that
TugweH 1UaS not q dirt farmer
and would not please the real
dgriculturiStS. But he 1D1S
Uoted doWn.
Now it appears that the Ad-
ministration has finally learned
that it cannot sell Tugwell to
the farmers and that in his
present capacity he is a po-
litical hindrance.
When Tugwell returns he may
resign or be relegated to a back
seat.
And now it apparently is Mr..
Smiths turn to laugh.
Senator Huey P. Long out
shines his colleague, Senator
John H. Overton, also of
Louisiana, at every turn.
In the Louisiana political
field Long has been the lead
ing figure for years. With
Longs assistance OvertOn was

Now it appears that Long,
trim and we'll set-up physically,
is a better track man than
pudgy John Overton.
Huey has been lodging fights
for gears. He has been threat
ened, apparently cornered, but
has escaped to hear the sounds
of neW challenges for tiSticutts.
But with John it is another
story.
A New Orleans attorney
caught him in a hotel lobby.
There was no escape.
John suffered injuries
