WEATHER CHITIOHS
tHUITI EUROPE
WASHINGTON, June 11—Even the
■weather in the United States is being
watched from the western battle front
in France. Like other events over here
such as the mobilization of num power
and the conservation of food, the
•weather in the United States may vital
ly affect operations on the "frontiers
of freedom.”
Once every 24 hours a ••inunary of
weather conditions in the I nited
States is cabled to officers of the army
who formerly were officials o* the I
S. Weather Bureau
The nason is that marked condi
tions of the weather n t'.is hemis
phere are likely to he refected in the
other, and the reason for that is the
trend of the atmosphere toward the
east. As the world revolves from e.u-t
to west the atmosphere in mid lati
tudes tends to move constantly to
ward the rising sun A great srorm
in this county may have its coner
part in greater or less degree in Eu
rop some days later. Fair weather
on this side may mean fair weather
ovet; there within the week Supplied
with this, in addition to. local informa
tion. the “officers of the weather over
there" are aided in forecasting condi
tions favorable for airplane activity,
artillery work, or other military op
erations. ?
BASEBALL PLAYERS
ARE HIT BY RULING
ATLANTA, Ga.. June 11.—Members
of the Atlanta baseball club of the
Southern League are very much up
in the air concerning their disposi
tion under the new draft rules recent
ly announced by General Crowder
which place professional baseball play
ers in the class of non-essential in
dustry. They don’t know whether they
will be allowed to continue earning a
living at the national pasttime, or
whether they will be ordered to go
into lines of industry which the gov
ernment considers useful and essential
in the conduct of the war.
The situation presents a very em
barrassing complication for the man
agement of the club in its efforts to
produce a winning team. The Atlan
ta “Crackers” have not distinguished
themselves in the present season, ex
cept by winning 13 games and losing
36, which gives them a strong hold on
the cellar position in the standing of
the clubs, and the management is ]
afraid to go ahead and strengthen the
team by buying new players because
they may be drafted for military ser
vice or ordered to quit the game and
go to farming or building ships or
working in some other line of in
dustry connected with war

OWEN WOULD ODDO
HIGH COURT POWER
TO HELPJIIDREN
SENATOR’S LABOR LAW AMEND-
MENT DROPS ANY JUDGE WHO
MAY DEC LARE SUCH AN ACT OF
CONGRESS I NCONSTITI TIONAL.
WASHINGTON, June 4—Senator
Owen, of Oklahoma, would amend the ;
Child Labor Act to prohibit the Su
preme court from declaring it un
constitutional.
Tomorrow he will propose the fol
lowing amendment and ask the Sen
ate to pass it:
“The constitutionality of this act
having been declared by the compe
tent authority of Congress and of the
president of the Uunited States at the
time of its passage, shall only be
questioned thereafter by Congress it
■self and by the people of the United
States in their sovereign capacity as |
voters.
“Any executive or judicial officer
who. in his official capacity, denies j
the constitutionality of this act, shall,
ipse facto, vacate his office. No judge
of an inferior court shall permit the
J question of the constitutionality of
this act be raised in the court over
I which he presides, and the court
over which he presides, and the Unit
ed States Supreme court shall have
no statutory power to pass upon such
question upon special appeal.
I "The effect of the opinion of the
. Supreme court in declaring the Child
i Labor Act unconstitutional, said
Senator Owen to the a newspaper re- j
porter today, ‘‘is to declare that the
members of Congress who passed it
and the president who signed it violat
ed their oaths of office.
“I would withdraw from the Su
preme court power to declare acts
of congress unconstitutional Congress
cannot otherwise protect the com
mon people against predatory monop
ly. It cannot otherwise furnish the
American people the means by which
to adjust the great questions arising
betwen capital and labor, great ques
tions affecting the business, political,
moral and physical life of the nation,
r “Every state should instruct its
members of Congress to support my
demand for the control of the federal
judiciary.”
Senator Owen contends that Con
gress and the Surpeme court are not
co-equal.
| Congress established a Supreme I
! court by statute and fixed the number ,
of judges and their compensation,*!
said he. “The Senate must confirm ;
the nomination of judge before he can |
take his seat. Congress can impeach
the Supreme court and remove it
, from office. Congress, under the con
stitution, was expressely charged with !
fixing the appellate jurisdiction of I
, the jurisdiction the court has worth
mentioning.
"The Supreme court has only orig
inal jurisdiction in all cases affecting 1
ambassadors, other public ministers I
and consuls, and those in which a
state shall be a party. Only about!
one such case arises in ten years. All ,
other jurisdiction is appellate. Con- !
gress has the duty imposed upon it
under the constitution to fix that ap-;
pellate jurisdiction and make such ex
|ception» and such regulations as it!
(sees fit." I
PLANT POTATOES
NOW FOR HOME USE
i Washington. June i—it isn’t
too late the first half of June to plant
I late potatoes in all sections of the
(United States, says specialists of the!
United States Department us Agricul-■
• ture. who are recommending that all i
t available space in gardens be used for
this crop to safeguard home supplies ■
and to reduce transportation
Their recommendation is made de- ■
spite the fact that potatoes require!
more space that most garden crops,!
and should not lie planted in small
gardens to the exclusion of other
vegetables. One bushel of seed pota
toes will plant one-tenth of an acre
or a plot 44x100 feet and will pro
j duce enough potatoes for the use of
a family of five during the winter. At
present there is a surplus of old po
totoes on the market and sufficient
seed can be obtained at reasonable
prices. It is suggested therefore that
seed be used more liebrally than last
year, and that 12 to 15 bushels of
AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
be used per acfe.
It is also urged that city authori
ties and managers of large corpora
tions arrange for the use of unoccu
pied land and have it plowed, pre
pared and assigned for potato grow
ing. It is suggested that they could
purchase seed in large quantities and
furnish it to the growers at a price
just'enough above cost to cover hand
ling and shrinkage. Where fertiliz
ers are needed they can be secured
in the same manner.
