The bureau, which, for statistical
purposes, regards the summer sea-
son as consisting of June, July and
August, points out that the first two
months were actually hotter than
usual, although a cold wave in
August brought the average back to
normal.
June records show mean tenn
perature of 727 degrees, compared
with the 50-year average of 72.2;
July rose to an average daily re-
cording of 772, slightly above the
normal mean of 1853, while the
monthly mean in August dropped
to 72.5, we'll below the usual figure
of IS degrees.
There was considerably more sun
shine and slightly Tess rain this
summer than Washington usually
receives, the statistics show.

they are not made to stand by thei,
contracts" he said.

G|s' MentoI Diseoses Diagnosed
By Brain Wave Procedures

Veterans suffering from certain
mental diseases are benefittng from
a startling wartime development
through the use of brain wave
procedures to diagnose their dis
eases, DR.. Paul R. HaWley, medi-
cal director of the Veterans Ad-
miniStration, said today.
The new methods. which are being
used extensively in veterans hos
pitfalls. aid doctors particularly in
determining epilepsy and heretofore
obscure surface brain tumors, DR..
HaWley said
He exclaimed that by attaching
metal strips to patients head,
it is possible to read the waves
given out as blain messages. Par
ticular disorders have their own dis
tinct wave patterns. by which
they can be identified, he said.
Although the procedure was used
extensively before the war in cpl
lepsy diagnosis, developments during
the past five years have enabled
doctors to locate hidden tumors
and "epilepsy equivalents" DR.. Haw-
ley declared.
