PREDICT SUMMERLESS
you'D BETTER SAVE YOUR
«UNDIES,” IS THE ADVICE OF
THE WEATHER MAN.
pOSTON, Mass.—Better keep your
fur coats and heavy “undies” and ga
joshes handy during the summers of
1926 and 1927, ;
vor Herbert Janvrin Browne, of
\Wachington, probably the world’s
|e.ding authority on long distance
weather forecasting, says meteorologi
cal conditions now are exactly similar
« those just prior to 1816—" The Year
Without a Summer.”
During that summer our great
orent-grandparents had to celebrate
the fortieth anniversary of the republic
i below freeing weather.
Two weeks before a snow-storm
cwept down from Canada and blank
¢tod the eastern part of the country
s far south as Maryland.
Crop Failures.
Disastrous crop failures resulted
and Browne predicts the same "‘hard
imes” for the farmers during the next
tWi vears.
Lrowne, known as a ‘“radical”
among the meteorologists, expects to
present his views to the Babson con
ierence on meteorology which opens
its sessions here Sept. 23.
Charles F. Marvin, head of the Unit
¢l States weather bureau, who says
that any weather predictions for more
than a few days in advance are pure
guess work, heads the ‘conservatives.
Long range weather forecasting, he
cve. is a scientific impossibility.
Browne is not alone in his views,
and the two opinions are certain to
bring a clash at the conference.
Dr. R. E. De Lury, assistant direc
tor of the Dominion observatory, at
Ottawa, Canada, backs Browne’s opin
ion and while Prof. H. H. Clayton, of
the Smithsonian Astro-Physical ob
cervatory, does mnot hold identical
views he does agree with Browne on
ceveral points. ‘
Marvin will be represented at the
conference by one of his leading me
teorologists, Dr. William J. Hum
phreys, and will be supported in his
«and by Prof. Charles F. Brooks, of
Clark University. : ‘
Depends on Sun’s Heat.
Browne's theory is that weather
conditions are mainly the result of
ocean temperatures; that ocean tem
peratures depend upon the amount of
heat generated by the sun; and there
forc, by study of the variation in the
cun’s radiation, it is possible to pre
dict accurately what the weather will
be in any given locality years in ad
vance. And so he says:
“Beware of 1926 and 1927.
“Conditions in 1927 will be particu
larly bad. It will be a ‘summerless
year'—a replica of 1816, ‘The Year
Without a Summer,” when crop fail
gres brought disaster to the land.
“The occans are great reservoirs of
the sun's heat, They do not, however,
react to it immediately. It takes from
one to five years. ; |
“Now in the early part of 1922 the
ain’s heat fell below normal. By Sep
tember of that year it had dropped to
its lowest point since 1905. |
“At the present time we are feeling
the effects of that drop, and during the
next two years we will feel it still
more. 1
“The change started last year. The%
great dominating currents of the ant
arctic were chilled and their volume
increased. They then started pushing
the warm currents of the northern

“Here’'s what the effect will be the
remainder of this year—
“An early fall, accompanied by rain
fall above normal over a great portion
of the United States and Canada, par
ticularly in the Atlantic coast sections,
the Great Lakes regions and the low
er St. Lawrence valley.
‘“Above normal rainfall on the Pa
cific coast, particularly in southern
California, which should have a precip
itation of 30 inches,
“Rains in Nevada, Arizona and New
Mexico and a cessation of the drought
in Texas.
: “Generally favorable crop conditions
in the cotton belt,
“Cessation with the September
equinox of conditions which have de
prived the southern Appalachian Pied
mont of his customary precipitation.
“Beware of early frost in the corn
belt.
Volcanic Explosions.
“One great volcanic explosion in
1926—like that of Tomboro in the
Dutch East Indies in 1815—will fill
the upper air with clouds of volcanic
gust and still further shut off the sun’s
eat,
“The growing season in 1927 will
be late, there will be late frosts in the
spring and killing frosts in the late
summer and early fall.
“The government should start buy
ing and storing our surplus wheat
now instead of trying to dump it into
Europe at less than:production costs.”
Dr. De Lury says that the number
of sunspots during the next few years
will be the greatest in 262 years.
In the Dominion observatory are
charts showing that an increasing
number of sunspots during the period
from 1784 to 1869 had these results:
Increased rainfall and low tempera
tures. .
Greater growth of the California
redwood trees.
Birds left for the south earlier,
Commodity prices increased, indi
cating crop failures.
The curves on the charts show that
these conditions were most pronounc
ed about 1816, or just after sunspots
were most frequent.
~ THE BEST SPELLER
1 ety o
STATE-WIDE SPELLING BEE
WILL BE HELD AT EXPOSI
TION IN ATLANTA.
Georgia’s best speller will be the
title bestowed on the winner of the
monster spelling bee which will be
held October 10 at the 1925 Southeast
ern Fair in Atlanta, and a prize of
$lOO in cash goes along with the title
to Georgia's champion speller. Prizes
range from $lOO to $7, which is 11th
prize.
The Georgia State Wide Spelling
Bee, which will be the largest ever
held in the southern states, will be
open to all grammar and high school
students. Each county in the state can
send one representative to the Geor
gia State Spelling Bee and that con
testant may be a boy or girl and will
be selected from a competitive meth
od which will" be conducted by each
county school superintendent.
This is one of the most novel con
tests ever attempted at the Southeast
ern Fair, and much interest has al
ready been shown in the coming con
test.

GEOLOGIST TO INVESTIGATE
OLD BONES NEAR CORDELE
Coming From Washington to Deter
mine Age of Great Sea Animal.
The department of the interior at
Washington is sending a geologist to
Cordele to determine the age of the
‘bed in which the bones of the great
sea animal were found recently on the
banks of the Flint river. He is also
going to determine as far as possible
whether a specimen can be had that
can be specifically identified. This
geologist will arrive this week. He
writes that the discovery will be of
scientific interest because none otner
have been found in this part of the
country.

SUPERINTENDENT REPORTS
THINGS MOVING SMOOTHLY.
: THE SOCIETIES MEET.

sented by members of the senior lit
erary society at the regular weekly
meeting on Friday. Roll call was an
swered by literary quotations. A few

jury the verdict was postponed until
October 9th. The next meeting will
be held on that date. b
Junior Notes by Margaret Lassiter.
The program given Friday by the
junior literary society was enjoyed
very much by the members of the
class. A new program committee was
appointed at the last meeting and
have started their term off splendidly.
A spelling match on authors’ names
showed what brilliant spellers the
juniors were.. Ukelele selections by
Ella Frances Jones were greatly en
joyed. “Sally Quartcup,” by Evelyn
Belvin, gave the class a good laugh,
a thing that had not happened since
the monthly exams were announced.
The subject “Resolved, That English
Is More Important Than Science,”
was debated with much interest. Af
firmative, Elizabeth Hayes and Ed-|
ward Grubbs; negative, Eddie Mc-{
Daniel and Spencer Worthy. I
Sophomore Notes by Dan Flinn. ‘

seem to be lining up with the work
as well as could be expected. A paral
lel reading was begun Friday, and the
meeting of the literary society was
postponed until next Friday, the 9th.
THE SALE-DAVIS COMPANY
ARE LIABLE FOR TAXES
Attorney General Rules They Must
Pay for Seven Years Past.
That the Sale-Davis Company is
Jliable for payment of corporation tax
es for the past 7 years, even though
the company alleges it has not been
engaged in business in Georgia during
that tinfe, T. R. Gress, assistant at
torney general, held Thursday.
The state revenue department had
attempted to collect $350 in corpora
tion taxes for the past 7 years with
+he addition of a penalty of $7O for
delinquence, and company officials
wrote the attorney general to find out
whether or not it was liable for the
tax. The company’s letter said that
although it is a corporation, chartered
under the laws of Georgia, its business
is confined exclusively to Florida.
Mr. Gress’ opinion said: “Your com
pany obtained a charter from the state
of Georgia which gave the company
certain privileges of value. The tax in
question is levied on. the right to do
business rather than on the business.
It is not a matter of importance to
the state whether you exercise your
privilege under the charter or not, but
so long as you retain the charter you
retain a valuable privilege given you
by the state of Georgia given for
which it demands the tax in question.”
STAMP HONORING WILSON
WILL BE ISSUED SOON
President Coolidge Asks Postoffice
Department to Act at ‘Once.
The desire of President Coolidge
that a stamp bearing the likeness of
Woodrow Wilson be issued as soon as
possible has been communicated to the
postoffice department.
Announcement to this effect has
been made at the white house, with
the added statement that the depart
ment would issue such a stamp. Com
plaints have been received from some
quarters that the proper recognition
was not being accorded the wartime
president. It was pointed out on Pres
ident Coolidge’s behalf that it was not
until his administration that a stamp
in honor of former President Cleve
land was issued.
