July Weather Here Without Extremes
As Large Sections In United States
Tormented By Heat And Drouth
Mean Temperature About
3 Degrees Over Normal;
Rainfall Alost Exactly
Normal
BY I. w. VALENTINE
u. S. Weather OBSERVE

The Hendersonville weather re-
port for July, 1884, shows mean
temperature about 3 degrees
above normal and precipitation
almost exactly normal.
No extreme temperatures were
recorded. On the eight hottest
days the thermometer reached the
lower nineties; on p days the
maximum was in the eighties;
and on one day the maximum
was 79. The night temperatures
were in the sixties. the mean min
imum being 65.2.
In a month in which large Sec
tions of the country were scorch-
ed and parched with terrific heat
and drouth, Hendersonville had a
mean temperature of 1873, with
six inches of rain.
A study of the records for the
past u years shows two years,
1881 and 1882, with a hotter
July, the figures being 1853 and
.76.1 respectively. One wear,
1880. showed the same mean
temperature for July as was re-
corded this year. The other eight
showed lower July means, the
coolest being 1924, with T1.2.
This years July rainfall was
exceeded in three of those years:
1928 60 inches), 1924 GAO in
chest and 1882 (7.35). In two
years. 1926 and 1927, the July
rainfall was practically the same
as this year. In six years it was
less, the smallest amount (1.S2
inches) being recorded in 1925,
when the July temperature was
one degree lower than this year.

U.S.. Will Push Its Preparations
For Defense By Sea, Air; Speech
By Baldwin Marks New Policies
Leading Briton Points to
Thought Land Limits Of
Nations no Longer Basis
for Defense
By HARRY w. SHARPE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. CUP.
The United States Is going to
push it's air and sea building pro-
grams with renewed vigor, it was
learned on high authority last
night.
The disclosure came as Premier
Keisuke Okada of Japan suggest
ed the "highly armed" powers cut
their naval strength to meet ia
pans and in the face of All ex-
panded air defense program an
nounced for England.
The United States, it was said,
is prompted first by revealed
weakness of her own army air de-
tense and second by possible col
lapse of the 1885 naval confer
ence through Japan's failure to
participate. .
President Roosevelt revealed
this governments future naval
policy in his recent speech in the
Pacific. In brief, he pledged full
filment of the building program
laid down by the Vinson bill
which would bring the navy up to
full treaty strength. In addition
it can be stated on high authority
that he has equally strong plans
for the army air crops whose de-
tense loopholes were disclosed by
the Baker investigating commit
tee. ,
These programs were outlined
before the Okada statement and
] the assertion of Stanley Baldwin
in the London house of commons
that England's air defense is to
be strengthened by AGO powerful
bombers. But they are described
as an indication of the admins
tration's determination to put
American defense units on mod
ern and expanded basis for what
ever emergency may arise and TO
be in a Grading" position with
other nations. ,
Okada's suggestion for reduced
naval parity were received with
surprise. Japan heretofore has in
sisted on the right to build her
navy to full parity with England
and the United States. Cool re-,
ception of this demand was cited
as her reason for failing to par
ticipate in preliminary naval con-
versations in London, leading to
the belief she also will abrogate
the Washington naval treaty by
failing to join the 1885 conferees.
There has been some talk, how
! ever, of Japan sending an ennis,
] sary to this country for a "cold
turkey" chat with American ma
val conversationalists.
Two nationally known figures
Joined yesterday in advocating a
stronger American aerial defense
in the face of the Baldwin dec
larations. :,
The diplomatic corps hailed
Baldwin's declaration as OF vast
international significance.
They regarded it as a summa-
ton Of international ideas, here
tofore not expressed, that from
tiers of all powers have been
moved far beyond their political
borders. The concensus was that
the statement will create no Dip
lomatic furore but that it will
center greater attention on avia-
ton as a means of defense.

today because Field Marshal Paul
Won Hindenburg-a few years

Fears Of an impending crisis
in German affairs, belief that
Austria's troubles were just be-

restoration in Germany and a
Hapsburg restoration in Austria
excited continental capitals.
There was talk here of q

or president.
Little entente nations-Czecho.
slovakia, Roumania and Jugo-
slavia-have threatened to march
into Austria if a Hapsburg was
put back on the throne or named
regent.
Hindenburg's desperate illness
was the main factor in arousing
Europe always prone to antici-
pate war. Reports that seemed
unquestionably true said there
was no chance of a call for
Hohenzollern to replace the aged
president. Well-informed Off
