h plOW into the northern ATTITUDES"
admits of the following explanation,
and in my opinion should be SUBJ
stituted in all textbooks of OUR
schools.
A little reflection enables one to
see that in a new country the soil
is covered in the spring with green
vegetation which prevents any
great amount of heat absorption
from the suns rays.
However, the introduction of the
pillow, at one stroke turned the cov-
ering down, and exposed the black
soil which is capable of absorbing
great quantities of heat. This heat
stored by day and given off by night,
especially if waited about by a
breeze, precluded the possibility Of
frost.
Intertilled crops store heat be-
tween the rows nearly all season
and such practices as black fallow,
overgrazing, deforestation, drainage,
etc, greatly enhance the heat alb
sorption of the soil. The result has
been that, frost hazard has given
way to the "heat hazard" in much,
if not all of the United States.
Greater Heat Absorption
In this connection it is interest
ing to note that Nature changes her
green covering to one of brown at
harvest time. This change of color
admits of much greater heat alb
sorption, possibly to the point Of
dissipating the humidity and chance
of rainfall. Aviators substantiate
this idea by noting that a drenching
rain falling from a cloud does not
always reach the earth, but is dis
sipated by rising currents of hot air.
If these observations have any
scientific basis, then the often noted
coincidence of drouth and large cat
tie and sheep population, is ex-
planned. The denuding of the west
ern part of the United States of its
covering, through over-grazing, is
the cause of drouth.
Likewise the midwest farmer
would be justified in casting a criti-
cal eye toward the great plains area.
For in the horse drawn days thou
sands of acres of summer fallow,
etc, in the great plains area con-
tributed great quantities of heat to
the prevailing westerlies to dry the
midwest fields for planting. Now
the fast tractor has covered the bare
area with green crop at least three
weeks earlier than before, thus
~1essening the beneficial heat waves
of early spring. Accordingly the
heat of harvest time in the plains
is stepped ahead by the same three
corn crop too early with disastrous
effect.

Effect of Fall Flowing

Should the weather scientists
elect to take into consideration the
immense quantities of heat added
as each new state came under the
pillow, they would solve the apparent
ir~regularity of rainfall cycles and
at the same time forget their annual
forecast of hard winters long enough
to point out the insulating effect Of
fall blowing and its contribution
against frost penetration, also its
aid toward early snow removal
through heat storage, a subject
never discussed to my knowledge.
I believe the greatest benefit Of
fall blowing and summe fallow is
that the heat of summer is i'm
prisoned in the soil by the ~1oosening

Lithuanian Gold
Makes A Comeback

MOSCOW ~ (P) ~ The Lithuan-
ian amber industry-which was all
but wiped out during the war-is
making a comeback.
The magazine "Ogenok" points
out, however, that out of the 100
principal amber workers whose
families have worked in this in
dustry for generations only four
have been found alive.
Lithuania possesses the largest
amber deposits in the world. The
city of Palanga is the amber cen
ter. It is a small city whose inhab-
itants have devoted their lives to
the refinement Of Lithuanian
gold as they call It.
High winds and seas hurl
chunks of this dull yellow sub
stance, mixed with seaweed, onto
the shores.
An ancient legend has it that the
Lithuanian Princess Iurat built a
castle of amber. Everything went
we'll until she fell in love with g
commOner, Kastitis. The gods did
MT like the way she was carrying
on and called up a storm, which
knocked down the amber castle anC
sucked it into the sea. Lithuanian
amber, the story has it, has beer
coming from the ruins of the castle
at the bottom Of the sea ever since

Mother Of Infant Starts
Term in College Thefts
BY the Associofed Press

FREDERICK, Md. Dec. 8.-Mrs
Lillian L. Becker, 80, began serv.
ing three years in the Maryland Re.
formatory for Females today for the
ransacking of dormitory at Hood
College.
The blond mother from Topanga
Calf, pleaded guilty yesterday to
stealing $45 from a room at the
girls college last spring.
In passing sentence, Judge Patrick
M. Schnauffer of the Frederick
County Circuit Court termed the
defendant "a very clever woman
and denied her husbands plea that
he be permitted to take her and
her 4-week-old child back nome,
where he is film studio worker.
Mrs. Becker's arrest last May re-
suited from widespread search
for a woman in white shoes" who
had been seen on several college
campuses just before dormitories
there were looted.
She was picked up after two stu
dents saw her at Washington Col
lege in ChestertoWn, Md. 1t later
developed that she had in her pos
session money and clothing missing
from that institution, and she
served six months in the reforma-
tory for the theft.

Applications are again being TAX
en- for inaugural parade tickets at
all price levels, from 50 to $40, it was
announced today. Sale Of all ex-
cept the $6 to $8 seats had been
suspended for several days pending
clariflcation of the budget for the

Applications are now being taken
in person and by mail at the ticket
cffice in the Tariff Building, Seventh
and E streets NV. General Chair
man Melvin D. Hildreth said the
sale of seats in all price groups was
resumed because the bids for erect
ing stands at the White House were
surprisingly low and it would not
be necessary to raise prices beyond
the 1941 level.

day included:
The Ringing Brothers circus band

week. Mr.. Hildreth, an ardent circus
