About The Weather

RECENT hot spells in various sections Of the coun-
Az try naturally have revived comparisons Of heat
with conditions of former years In the United States
the hottest spot on average is place in Death Val
ley, California, named oddly enough Greenland
Ranch where on July TO- 1910, the temperature rose
to 1874 degrees.
The record for cold in this country is held by Miles
City, Mont where the mercury sank to 65 below zero
in 1888
Higher and lower temperatures have been recorded
in Africa and Siberia, respectively although Death
Valleys high mark is within two degrees of the
worlds record 1876 degrees at Azizia Tripo in 1924.
Some interesting cases of excessive rainfall and
snowfall have been noted by the United States Wealth
er Bureau. The hardest rain recorded was at
Ophids Camp in California, where an inch Of rain,
equivalent to 115 tons Of water per acre. fell in
minute on April s. 1926 At Porto Belo, Panama, FAT
inches of rain fell in three minutes on May l, 1908
The heaviest snowfall to occur at place equip
ped for accurate observation 25 inches in "A hours
at Washington D. c., in January, 1922.
The most equable and pleasant climate in the United
States, and perhaps in the world, is enjoyed by Key
West Fla, where the temperature has never gone
above 100 nor below Al above zero It's average for
January is 70 and for July "a. Even in the heat of
summer this island city is relatively cool being fan
ned by breezes from the Gulf Of Mexico which seldom
fail when they are needed.

New Depot May Be Needed But
Greatest Need Is More Houses

A movement is under way here to have the Southern
"A Pacific erect depot.
A railroad station would be fine thing. All
such improvements make the city attractive but
what Nogales needs far more than depot is large
number of new houses and apartments to accommodate
tourists and prospective settlers hauled into Nogaes
by the Southern Pacific.
It would be great boost to have tourists alght
from trains at beautiful new railroad station but
where we going to put those persons who might
like Nogales we'll they would locate here if they
could find place to live?
According to Ed Rockwell, prominent Southern
Pacific official at Tucson the coming winter will
the greatest influx of tourists and settlers that
the southwest has ever known. Nogales would get
many of those persons winter visitors perman-
cnt residents if the city had more houses
The house shortage here next winter will be the
most acute ia many years, for already there is house
shortage and it is not yet quite mid dsummer Apart
ment house report vacancies at the present
time. What will be the situation when the teachers
return the latter part of next month and the tomato
men get back later in the fall?

Year.Round Vegetables

You might not believe 1t, but in all the United States there are 7,500,000 acres ot land planted to vegetables. That is rather an astounding figure, but when you stop to analyze it the answer is ap- parent. Americans are year-round fresh vegetable eaters. True the canned vegetable industry is still a leader and probably will continue to be so long as the modern methods of packing are fol- lowed, thus bringing to the tables of rich and poor vegetables that have suffered or no change in their long journey from the garden to the canning factory to the store shelf and to the consumers table.
 But 1t is possible now for the average man to have almost every native vege- table all the year round. Twenty-Five years ago this, too, was possible If you had hot-house pocketbook, for Vege- tables out of season then come from hot houses. Today they come from the acres of land that are in cultivation from one end of the year to the other. Your fresh vegetables may come from the East dur ing the summer and early fall months. The Middle West may be the source at another season, the South and South west at other times. But SO Skillfully have our agricultural forces staggered their crops that markets can be supplied the year round. Rapid transportation and refrigeration aid in the process.
 This Is indeed encouraging in an age that is finding more and more valuable agricultural lands falling prey. to soil erosion. We can be thankful that vast irrigation projects have been launched and will continue to be launched to make former strie lands fertile. This IS our answer to the forces of nature that work apainst mankind. But the work has to be kept up at a furious pace, for soil erosion is ruining American farmlands faster than they can be replaced by new ones: It's relentless battle, just as is that Of forest conservation The outcome is too serious to be lightly regarded or to find us marking time.

Contrasting Attitudes

A week ago various men met at Hart ford and exchanged views on current social and economic problems. The con- ference was held under the auspices ot the Roman Catholic diocese with Bishop Maurice F. McAuliffe sponsoring the catherine. At It's very outset forth ripht statement was made by Right Rev Monsignor John Ryan of Catholic Uni versity in which he said that balanced government budget right now was not going to prove of any value. He urged a continuation, or rather a return on the part of the federal government to a program of spending to bear up present. day economic ills.
 This week Governor Wilbur L. Cross addressed a gathering ot businessmen and spoke in contrary vein. He said that the government should refrain from helping individuals and communities now. They should strike out for them selves. We presume this sink or swim policy is merely an extension of remarks that the governor has made before. He has consistently urged that recourse to the federal government for aid be last and desperate one. It is noticeable, too, that Connecticut has profited very little at the expense of the federal government.
 That's fine spirit to display, but the unfortunate part of 1t is that when our vast relief program is being paid for in the years to come Connecticut will pay lust as much as she would have had she been sharing in Uncle sam's largess' And we don't think that generations to come will think any more of our inde- pendent stand on the question of relief expenditures than they would of our ornment spending We'll have the bills, but nothing to show for them, where other states will have both the bills and the causes of them
 This is a very debatable topic and people with principles that dig deep into the roots of the nation refuse to sacrifice them. Still we can't sacrifice peoples lives and the future of many young Americans for personal pride and princi. pie. We have duties that can't very well be overlooked.

U. s. Conscience

There may not seem to be much con- nection between a crowd of angry U. $. marines wrecking newspaper office in Nicaragua and a calm discussion of the problem of imperialism in the modern world. But cablegram from Central America linked the two very neatly, the other day, ard provided little noursh- ing food for thought. Away back in 1922, or thereabout, our marines were stationed in Nicaragua. A stout Nicaraguan patriot, Dr, Buitrago Diaz, objected bit terly. In his newspaper, the Tribuna, at Managua, he put the marines on the pan and said contemptuously that they were unfit for the companionship of the women of Nicaragua.
 Some of the marines could read Span ish. So one day bunch of the lads got together and made a raid on the Tri- buna's offices, wrecking them with hearty thoroughness such as only in- furiated marines can achieve. And the wind-up of the story came just the other day, when United States Treasury check covering the damages was handed to Dr. Diaz.
 We'll, so what? Does that prove any thing in particular, except that Uncle Sam does pay his bills if you give him enough? You can appreciate the story best If you reflect on the things that have been said about Americas land-grabbing exploits.
 In the last few years Americans have waXed indignant about Mussolini's seiz- ure of Ethiopia Japan's attack on China, and so on and have been told that they had no right to throw stones be- cause Uncle Sam himself expanded his territorial holdings by force, with Latin- Americans, Indiana and other luckless people paying the freight. But there is a little difference there, somehow, and this Nicaraguan story does illustrate it.
 Clumsily, often tardily, generally some what inadequately, this country has made an effort to redress the balance. The marines are out of Nicaragua now, the country is free and independent - and even minor bit of aggression" like the mob scene in the newspaper office is at last paid for by the U s. Treasury.
 Mexico did get the cash of the Gadsden purchase and two decades later, got the French lifted off her neck by orders from Washington. Spain did get a lump sum for the Philippines, and Cuba actually did go free. The government has spent some millions of dollars caring for the dispossessed Indians. Alaska was acquired by straight purchase. The old

Representative James Shanley of New Haven says he isn't daunted by the fact that Congress does not authorize issu- ance of special commemorative stamps in honor of cities, but will continue his efforts to have one granted in time for the 300th anniversary of the settling or New Haven. The congressman should occupy himself with other matters and not attempt to have the House of Representa- tives set up a precedent in this matter. We feel sure it won't grant the permission, but If Representative Shanleys plan should gain enough converts why all Congress would do would be to pass laws callings for special stamps and coins Allowing special stamp to be issued in behalf of New Haven's claim to historical fame would be simply opening the door to a thousand and one similar requests, each of them as worthy of special atten- tio as New Haven's.

stepped off. Not all of his chil- dren attended his wedding, Frozen Cream
 It was just 8 year ago this month that they arrived in Mos- COW, bringing enough frozen cream to feed the embassy for Q year. And shortly after their arrival they found they wouldn't need the cream after all. For Mrs, Davies didn't seem to like Moscow.
 So the Davies spent most of their time cruising around Eu- rope and the United States, so much time in fact that the State Department eventually intimated that even though. his salary of $17,500 did seem like pin money compared with his other income, Joe would have to stay in Mos COW and earn 1t.
 So last summer he stayed. But Mrs. Davies was often squired about Moscow by a handsome Swedish manager of a shipping line.
 Later she came back to the United States without Joe. And just recently he has followed her.
 Since Mrs. Davies will not go back to Moscow, and since the State Department insists that he work at his job, Joe has asked for Q transfer to another post = which, he hopes, will please the lady.
 NOTE-Davies made 8 part of his own fortune by charging President Trujillo 8 commission of $4S0,000 for suspending amor tization payments on the Domini- can debt. Trujillo is the gentle man who recently caused nearly 5000 Haitians to be massacred and now refuses Roosevelt's invitation to arbitrate.
