the colored Republicans heard them
tell of the various reasons for es-
pousing the cause of Messrs. Harry

Mr.. Gibson seems to think his

people of this county and which have
not been emphasized by his Demo-
cratic incumbent. Time will tell as to
whether he will have the opportunity
to establish his claims.

PASADENA. Calf, Dec. 2.-Long
range, scientific weather forecasting
is here.
DR.. Irving P. Krick Of the Cali
fornia Institute of Technology, who
for some time has been telling the
Hollywood film studios what weather
to expect on location for q week or
more in advance, put my neck out"
by trying a forecast for November.
So well did the chief proponent Of
the air-mass system Of weather pre-
diction come out that he is publish-
ing a December forecast In the
forthcoming December number Of
the American Farm Digest.
In it he predicts warmer than
usual weather in the New England
States, the Ohio Valley and the
Southeastern sections of the Great
Plains States.
"The storms in the United States
are the result Of q continuous con-
nict between cold Polar air and
warm tropical currents along Z
boundary surface which separates
these two dissimilar air bodies" said
DR.. Krick.

from 2,213,00 to 1861 900. The up
turn has been slow since that date.
For q picture of business NOR
tality, DIR. Thorp referred to a survey
Of enterprises in Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
from 1843 to 1926, in which it was
found that 46.9 per cent survived
more than 3 years, 21.4 per cent
lasted more than 10 years and 81
per cent were still in business after
20 years.
The wholesale industry had the
longest life in Poughkeepsie, with
the service industries dropping out
soonest.
Seek Greater Stability.
This turnover in business con-
Germs has become suciently Sc
rious to cause several States to seek
greater business stability through
requiring higher standards in the
setting up of new enterprises, the
witness said. He cited the certifica-
ton procedure operating in Wis
consin.
Breaking down the importance of
corporate activity in the major
branches of American industry, DIR.
Thorp estimated that from go to
65 per cent of the Nations business
is conducted through the corporate
device.
At the same time, the character
OF the Nations economy as pre-
dominantly small business" one
was reflected in a chart showing
sos per cent of the establishments
covered by the Social Security Act
employ fewer than four workers
each and only about 4 per cent Of
total employees. At the other end
of the scale, 195 enterprises, or
about one-twentieth of l per cent Of
those covered, employ more than
