THE WORLD GROWS HOTTER

The temperature of the world has
been steadily rising since the turn of the
century, says j. B. Kincer, of the United
States Weather Bureau. He says this has
been such persistent trend as to suggest
that the idea of stability of climate needs
some revision.
This is an important observation if it
represents the beginning of gradual i'm
crease in the heat of the world It is pos
sible that the world is in the beginning of
a heat wave that will reach new highs
and, possibly, vitality affect climate all
over the globe?
Mr.. Kincer says that the changes to
which he refers have been worldwide in
scope, with records showing that there has
been abnormal warmth in the last two de-
cades Thus, he lends weight to the
theory, often heard. that the winters are
growing milder and that the climate of the
earth is actually different from what it
was generation ago.

THANKSGIVING DAY
Editor, The Citizen:


Editor, The Citizen:
But whether we have less
or more, Away thank we
God therefor" .-Fabliau of
Sir Cleyes.
Good manners require us to
give thanks for gifts. And so
we find pagans, even savages.
returning thanks to some divinity
for abundant crops or some vic
tory in battle. The Greeks cele-
brated their Thesmophoria. or
Harvest Feast and the Romans
thanked the gods at their Cerea-
liza. The Hebrews gave thanks
to God at their Feast of Taber-
nacles, "Sukas", in September.
but more especially at the Feast
of Dedication, "Chanukah"
about December 25th. For the
early Saxons in England it was
the autumn festival, called the
Harvest Home.
In Italy Thanksgiving Day is
observed about the middle of No
vember. and in Canada the Gov
ernor General proclaims the last
Monday in October as the day
to thank God.
In Germany and Austria.
Thanksgiving Day is celebrated
on the first Sunday in October,
the morning being reserved for
religious services, while the aft
ernoon is used for speeches, folk
dances, ETC.. held in the country
to make townspeople realize the
hard work of the farmer.
A people. whose determined
faith was like solid rock, per-
secuted for it in England. fled to
Holland, where, during their ten
years stay, they probably alb
sorbed the custom of Thanksgiv~
ing Day. which the Dutch during
eighty years celebrated to thank
God for victories of freedom
against Spanish sovereignty.
When the Mayflower landed in
Massachusetts, in 1920 the first
thought of the Pilgrims was to
kneel by the great Plymouth
Rock and thank God. After many
trials a rift of azure appeared in
their clouded skies. Autumn
brought bumper crops, and they
remembered it was God who
chad made the sun to shine and
the rain to, fall, and the grain
to grow. So Governor Bradford
proclaimed a public Thanksgiv-
ing of three days. during which
the rigid Puritans, joined by Mas
sasoit and his braves, feasted and
frolicked. This is the origin of
our national Thanksgiving Day.
Loyal Americans will attend
church services in the morning
on Thanksgiving Day, and later
take part in moderate good cheer,
healthy sports and innocent
amusements.'

Medical experts are divided as to
whether it is safer to kiss or shake hands.
Disregarding the controversial question
about the kissing of hands, kissing ON the
mouth is often the cause of disease. A
statement recently made by a physician
says that the mouth of the human animal
had more germs than that of any other
animal with the exception of a certain
ape. Perhaps the rouge now used so
promiscuously is powerful enough to kill
the lurking germs.

The former kaiser of Germany, now
living in Holland, occupies quite a diff
ferent position from the exalted state that
was his during the World War. News
orr Holland tells us that he has recently
turned the cellars of his estate at Doom
into afraid shelters. Surely, the ex-
kaiser does not believe that his German
people would drop bombs upon his home,
in neutral Holland, or doesn't he trust Hit
Ter, either?
