COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 15-Re-
publican Gov. John w. Bricker of
Ohio and Representative Woodrum.
Virginia Democrat, joined hands
here today in demanding curtail-

= Speaking at an Ohio Chamber of

declared that the State had set an
example by reducing operation costs
and foregoing a $4,000 900 expansion
for which appropriations already
had been made.
The Virginian, at the same meet

not the Government support the

Birth Check Shows
d. T.. Above AVERAGE
In Registrations
Census Endeovoring
To Record Children
Missed in 1910 Count

With the births of 973 out OF
every 100 infants born in 194C
officially recorded, birth registra-
ton in the District is far more
complete than the national av-
erage, according to a test made by
the Census Bureau.
Registration officials last year
missed the births of approximately
250.O0O children in the United States,
leaving them without legal proof of
age or citizenship, the bureau point
ed out. On the basis of its survey
made in connection with the last
decennial census, it is estimated
children born in 1910 were not reg
istered. Over a period of 20 years
unless registration is made more
complete in its coverage-these
omissions will add 100000 to the
army of those lacking birth GER
tificateS.
The 1910 test was based on a list
of children born during December,
1899, and January, February and
March, 1910. who were enumerated
by census takers on special infant
cards. These cards contained GER
tain information not embodied in
the regular schedules. such as the
exact date and place of birth. maid
en- name of mother and hospital of
birth.
Checked Against Deaths.
To match this list of children,
special copies of birth certificates
were obtained from the District, and
from each State Bureau of Vital
Statistics for every child born dur
ing the same four months. The
Census Bureau also obtained a
special copy of the death certificate
for every child born during the test
period who died during the same
four months. The purpose of the
test was to compare the birth records
with the infant cards and the death
transcripts in order to determine
what proportion of the children
enumerated in the census were
actually registered.
After the records reached Wash
ington, they were classified and
tabulated for each State. To make
the enumeration as accurate as
possible. the bureau wrote 10000
form letters, most of them to
parents, asking for data on the I'M

Changes in Weather

Radiation Of Sun
New Key to Forecosting
Developed From Theory Of
Smithsonian Scientist

By the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calf, Oct. 15.-Dr
Irving Krick has determined that
the variation in the suns radiation
provides an important key to long
range weather forecasting.
He uses a curve OF SOAR heat vari-
ations which DR.. Charles G.. Abbot
OF the Smithsonian Institution is
now able. after 80 years of study, to
plot with fair accuracy a year IN
advance.
DR.. Krick, California Institute OF
Technology weather expert, only re-
Gently announced the discovery that
weather follows certain patterns
which are repeated, with variations
at long intervals.
Now he says he has found that
these patterns are influenced by the
amount of heat which reaches the
earth in certain areas. This must
bring satisfaction to DR.. Abbot, now
SO, for his long studies of the total
amount and variability of solar radi-
alton, its absorption in the solar and
terrestrial envelopes, and effects OF
its variability on climate
Solar Cooking Practicable.
DR.. Abbot heated water with the
suns rays and cooked on a solar
stove he made at his temporary
home on Mount Wilson.
Both solar cooking and solar dis
tilling of non-potable water are
practicable and efficient PROPOSE

Commenting on the possibility OF
harnessing the suns rays in States
with few cloudy days, DR.. Abbot
said:

These guns in some instances will
be of a dual-purpose variety Some
short-range anti-aircraft guns will

Secretary said. He verified his in
formation regarding details of the
gun crews by asking a line officer
of the Navy to augment his state
ments. The officer said the guns
would be manned on a 24-hour
basis and that the crews would be
in charge of chief petty officers.
Secretary Knox was asked to state
definitely who would be in charge
of giving orders to fire, and again
conferred with a naval officer. 1t
was agreed laughingly by the two
that there would be little argu-
ment" between the captain of a

gun crew if submarine were
sighted.
Answering direct question as to
whether all the ships that have been
built under the Maritime Commits

receive guns. Secretary Knox said
he assumed they were.
Radio Ship Seizure Discussed.
The Secretary discussed briefly the
details of the capture by the Coast
Guard Of radio station on the
shores of Greenland and a Nazi-
operated supply ship near the sta
ton. The crew of the station that
had been left on shore was equipped
ito stay through the winter" the
Secretary said. He added that while
no other similar activities have been
found, the Navy is keeping a con-
slant watch.
There is no question but that the
radio station was d operate on be-
half of the Nazis," Mr.. Knox said.
The equipment was designed to
maintain communication with the
mainland-probably Norway-and
was unuuestionably operated for the
Nazis."
He said the station without doubt
was set up to relay important
weather information to the main
land, but that he believed 1t could
also relay any information to Ger
man ships at set. The Secretary
said that while any protest that
might be made about the seizure
would go to the State Department,
he did not know Of any. He also
said that this was the only seizure
the Navy had made since the patrol
began, and added that there have
been mo brushes"
In a further discussion Of the
patrol and occupation of outlying
territories, Secretary Knox was
asked If it was intended to bring
the marines home from Iceland.
He replied that the Navy intended
to do that, but that he did not know
just when. Regular Army troops
have been sent to Iceland to replace
many of the marines.
Chairman Bloom of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee has es-
timated on t,,c tae!s of naval testi-
mony that there were about 1900

Much has been written about mink
farming. There Is a keen interest
manifested in this industry. due to
the marvellous promises made about
the profits to be won II the farming
is successfully done.
It is true that the American mink,
because OF its fur, Is one OF our
most valuable members Of the
weasel family. The way 1t has
held its own with conditions as they
exist today also adds to its interest.
Minks are fearless and coura-
geous animals. They do not hesitate
to attack and kill larger animals
for food. But when they hunt nor
mally, that is. when food has been
abundant and there is merely the
need to secure enough TO appease
the hunger for the next meal, then
only such creatures as mice, chip
munks, squirrels. rats. birds and
other ground frequenting species
will be sought.
Minks love to wander along water
fronts. Here they capture water
fowl, snakes, frogs, crustaceans,
mussels and salamanders. Insects
are mere tidbits which they snap
up as they travel along seeking
bigger game.
Reviewing this wide range OF ac-
ceptable food, you can easily recog-
niZe the resourcefulness Of this
hunter. No matter where he may
be, or whether it is day or night, the
mink is always able to find food,
and he is always within a few PAGES
of some hiding place of which he
is we'll aware, though unknown TO
his enemy. If one Of his lodges
happens to be slightly out of range
and the water is close by, he plunges
into it.
The mink is about 81 inches long
This makes him a larger animal than
the weasel. Then. too, the mink
has a larger tail. The fur is always
dark brown, almost black. There is
a white spot on the chin and quite
often on the chest and underneath
We usually think of swift travellers
as long-legged creatures. But the
mink is long bodied and short
