WEATHER PROPHETS BUSY
All Predict an Early and Hard
Winter i'm This Section

The weather prophets are as
plentiful and as confident of their
predictions this year, as was their
fantastic role of former years with
both the CHEEKY and discouraging
forecasts to ponder over, as they
left different impressions upon the
community which usually expects
an average winter Of snow and ice,
regardles of predictions. While
some Of the prophets forecast an
early and hard winter there are
others who can see a mild one com
ing with as much certainty as that
shown by those with opposite
views. So the matter draws a
mixed view of approval or disap-
proval as one likes it. But of all
these the chief seer seems to be
the goosebone observer. He is
more popular since his mode shows
more engenuity and has won
stronger appeal among the masses
than the ones based on the plenti-
tude of nuts and berries, or thick
coats on fur-bearing animals. The
goosebone man is boldly forecast
ing hard winter, for he says, the
goosebones are dark all over. And
SO the conflicting viewpoints will
simply await their fulf1llment or

KENT COUNTY BIBLE
SOCIETY

The Kent County Bible Society
met in annual session in the Pres
byterian Chapel, Dover, on Thurs
day. The afternoon session was
devoted to routine business, and
though the representation was not
large it lacked nothing in interest.
Rev. J. F. Stonecipher, President
of the Society, presented his an
nual report showing the work done
during the past year, the manner
in which it was performed, and
containing many valuable sugges-
tions as to its further prosecution.
Of interest as showing the prac-
tical work of the Society is that
part of the report relating to the
labors of the colporteur, John E.
Franklin, who has been distribut-
ing Bibles during the Summer in
Duck Creek, Little Creek and Ken
ton hundreds.
President Stonecipher said that
the work done indicated the press
ing need of continued effort, and
urged the Society to provide for
its continuance. S100 was appro-
priated to the book fund.
The following officers were elect
ed to serve for the ensuing year:
President, Rev. j. F. Stonecipher;
Secretary, WIN. Brown, Wyoming;
Executive Committee, Rev. j. F.
Stonecipher and ]. A. Nicholson,
Esq, Dover; E. w. Cooper, Cam
den, and w. N. Brown, Wyoming.
1t was decided to continue the
colporteur work during the coming
year, and East and West Dover

to be canvassed.
In the evening Rev. Lafayette
Marks, D. D., of Wilmington, de-
livered an interesting address in

ence.

Speech Cultivation

BERLIN [P.-Preliminary steps
have been taken to form a national
speech cultivation bureau as a bull
wark for pure German.
AS listed by the eminent Germanic
scholar, DR.. Arthur Huebner. the
dangers threatening the purity Of
German come from the plainness OF
the language, its commerciallzation,
and the need for new words
In an address before the Prussian
Academy Of Science, he said new de-
velopments in the arts and sciences
created new words over which there
should be some official supervision,
and that current tendencies TO coin
new words and abbreviated designa-
tions we're hurting German.
A speech cultivation department, he
added. would best solve the problem
but he emphasized that it should not
be so formal as the academic Fran
caiSe.
Another aspect Of the matter is the
criticisms OF Berlin University profes-
sors that the Hitler movement is max

less grammatical" and Der Fuehrer
himself was popularizing ALLEN.

Fast British Planes

LONDON R).-The three sleek
British comet racers that streaked
to fame in the England-Australia air
race last Fall are continuing their
adventurous careers.
The plane in which Jones and
Waller finished fourth and set a new
round-trip record has been purchased
by the French air ministry for duty
on its new high-speed South Atlantic
mail service. 1t Is expected to span
the 1900 miles between Africa and
Brazil in less than 10 hours, carrying
nearly 1000 letters.
On its delivery flight the comet
flew from Croydon Airport here to
lie Bourget. Paris, in So minutes,
shattering every record for the trip.
The comet, in which the Mollisons
started the Australian dash so glori-
ously by hopping nonstop to Bagh-
dad, has been purchased by the
Portuguese government, which also
has eyes on the South American
mail service. 1t is being tuned up
at Lisbon for a projected flight to
Brazil at over 200 miles an hour.
The winning comet. which Scott
and Black set down at Melbourne less
than three days after leaving Milden-
hall, alone remains In British hands.

The girls scorned kitchen work while
they earned good money raising silk

China's silk industry has all but gone
to pieces. American buyers have
shown a preference for the japanese
product. The competition of artificial
silk combined with the depression fur
ther reduced the demand for the prod
uct.
The plight of the unmarried. unem-
ployed women of Shunteh has made
deep impression upon the provincial
authorities, striving to revive the silk

pect to send an investigating mission

1t Is indeed fortunate for humanity
that such great falls are so extremely
rare. The number of smaller falls,
however, is vastly greater, averaging,

a few hundred pounds. These are

Other periodic showers are the
Andromedids, which comes between
November % and December 7; the
Lyrids, which come on April l9, 20
and 81: the PerSeids, which come be-
tween July IL and August 20, and the
Orionids, which come between october
and a. These showers are all the
wreckage of comets which have been
torn apart by the mighty gravitational
force Of the sun and the larger planets.
The Leonids were once Temple S

integrated and the Andromedids are
fragments of Biela's comet, which was
actually seen to go to pieces.
Out in interstellar space the frag-
ments of iron and stone which occa-
sionally descend upon our earth as
meteorites are intensely cold. We can
see them then only when they are
gathered in close clusters. forming
comets which reflect the light of the
sun. When they enter our atmosphere,
however, they are heated to brilliancy
by friction with the air.
1t Is possible that the studies of the
Society for Research on Meteorites
may eventually give us some entirely
new knowledge of the character and
composition of the great universe that
lies around us. 1t is possible. and even
likely, that they will give us remark
able new facts about the unknown
regions of our atmosphere 100 miles
and more above the earth. They may
disclose a better explanation than we
now have for comets and the zodiacal
light, the aurora borealis and other
strange heavenly phenomena Yes
they may even force us some day to
revise our present theories about the
very crust of the earth on which we
live.
