Coldest Winter
In Years Seen
By Meteorologiist
CAEN, France.—It is gcsng to be a
cold winter all around the forty first
parallel of latitude, as cold as the
Winter of 1740 in England, when the
Thames froze over. This prediction
is made by Abbe Gabriel, France’s
#most distinguished meteorologist and
-ofessor in the University of Caen.
New York; Chicago, all of Canada
nd the whole of the Northern part
of tjse United States will have a bit
erly cold Winter, which ought to set
in about the middle of December or
early in January,.” said the priest
meteorologist to the Associated Press.
“Tis is my prediction, based on
ray system of weather forecast. I
»y be wrong, of course, but if the
Winter is cold, as I have said it will
be, it will be proof that astronomic
cycles do exist and it will go far to¬
ward establishing scientific basis of
meteorology France, Germany and
England will have a big share in the
old weather.
With the advent of cold weather
-esterday there are not a few per¬
is, who believe that Abbe Gabriel’s
.diction will come true.

RED CROSS YEAR
I RELIEF RECORD
Huge Relief Work After Midwest
Tornado the Greatest in
American Annals*
DISASTERS DROP IN 1925
Ranged From Fire to Earthquake
and Covered Wide Area at
Home and Abroad.
Virtual completion of the largest
peace-time project of post-disaster re¬
habilitation ever known has been ac¬
complished by the American Red
Cross in less than a year, as a part
of its relief work in the more than
DO disasters in which it served in the
past year.
This great program was undertaken
following the tornado which struck
five mid-western States last spring,
killing 796 people, injuring 2,239 more,
and causing inestimable property loss.
It left a huge area of devastation in
its wake, presenting a real problem.
The Red Cross, however, went to
work on the heels of the storm, car¬
ing for the injured, sheltering and
feeding whole communities, and help¬
ing every individual sufferer.from the
destruction back to normal.
The magnitude of the problem is in¬
dicated by comparison of its huge caa
ualty list with that of the entire pre¬
ceding year, whose combined losses
were 786 dead and not quite 2,000 in¬
jured, as a result of the record num¬
ber of 192 catastrophies.
The story of the Red Cross service
in the past year, recounted by the re¬
port, ranges from fires heading the list
of destructive forces with 29 disasters,
to mine explosions, tornadoes, ty¬
phoons, floods and earthquakes.
The Santa Barbara earthquake was
among the outstanding events record¬
ed in the report. The Red Cross had
completed its relief organisation on
the scene within a few hours of the
disaster, and in addition had launched
a program designed to permanently
restore every person affected by it,
to his termer status once more.
The Red Cross service in the period
following the wreck of the Navy air¬
ship “Shenandoah'’ was typical of its
promptness and effectiveness. Serv¬
ice in tide instance was afforded by
Red Cross chapters in the vicinity of
the wreck, and by representatives of
the national organization. It demon¬
strates graphically the value of each
of the more than 3,000 chapters of
the society which are at work in vir¬
tually every part of the country, national in
the facility they afford the
organization in emergencies.
There were 61 domestic dtoaotor op
orations reported in which the Red
Cross rendered service either through
chapter or national staff personnel
during the year. In 34 of these the
national organization appropriated a
total of $3,047,254.49, the greater por¬
tion of which was received as direct
contributions for the relief of speci¬
fied disasters. The relief operations
following the northern Ohio tornado
of June, 1924, were brought to a dose
in May, 1925, after an arrangement
had been made with the Lorain chap¬
ter to provide expert services to the
families of any tornado sufferers who
required euch assistance in the next
two years. In this single dtoaster the
relief work, as finally accounted,
reached a total of 3 UXUJ6JLX3.
The said-western tornado of this
year, covering a strip of t erritory 400
miles toag involved an expenditure
up to Joe 80 of 3774.000. while the
total amount tamed in to the fund
through the agency of the Red Cross
was 4SJW0. In addition to this
sum specifically collected tor the pur
poae, the Red Cross had expended
from its regular disaster*, reserves $194,000.
la aB the— Red Crow
workers have been Impressed by the
spirit of determination and hopeful¬
ness shown by the people. Once they
recovered from their griaf and bewfl
dermsozt, they began at oaoe to re
toriM, materially and otherwise, and
always en a better scale when possi¬
ble. Another significant feature of
tb—e oc cur ranees , — noted in the re¬
port of the Bad Cress, was the prompt
ns— with which tee local chapters
organised emergency relief before
help coaid be received from outside
ooatTcoq A direct effect of their ex¬
ample h— been to stimulate disaster
ah relief preparedness among chapter s
over the country.
The s ervices of the American Rad
Cross are performed in v aria b ly in the
—zas of the American people. On the
effeiili— o— of this repres en t at ion
during the past year, it wtll launch
the ni nt h annual noli call this year
CO November 11, to continue until
Thanksgiving, November 28, during
which support through
wlR be invited ter 1926.

MAN, WIFE DIE
IN DEATH PACT
PHARMACIST KILLS WIFE AND
ENDS OWN LIFE IN MIAMI
HOTEL.
MIAMI, Fla.—Alfred Paquette, 22,
formerly of Lynn, Mass., shot and
killed his wife in their room in a local
hotel and then committed suicide.
Both died instantly. A note found
by police indicated a suicide pact, they
said.
Mrs. Paquette had been a stenog¬
rapher at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., po¬
lice believe. The couple left a child
who is staying with its mothers peo¬
ple in Fall River, Mass.
The death note told how Paquette,
a registered pharamacist, had gone
from one job to another in rapid se¬
quence, unable to abstain from drink.
He had come to Florida to reform,
he wrote, but “Liquor seemed more
plentiful here than back home." His
wife finally joined him in an effort
to steady him and helped support him
by working herself when he was dis¬
charged from a drug store at Fort
Lauderdale.
The pair registered at the Vereen
Thursday afternoon. No notice was
taken of them until the shots were
heard before day break today.
Milk From North
Is Shipped To
Florida Each Day
ATLANTA, Ga.—From reports of

large shipments of milk pass through
Georgia daily from northern states.
If the states of the north can produce
milk and ship to Florida, certainly the
people of this state could do so and
Boifeullet To Retire
From Public Service
Commission Tomorrow
ATLANTA, Ga.—John T. Boifeuil
lette, for the last nine years a mem¬
ber of the Georgia Public Service
Commission retires from that post
December 1. He will be succeeded by
0. R. Bennett, of Eastman.
Mr. Boifleilette, one of the fore¬
most figures in Georgia public affairs,
has made no announcement regarding
his plans for the future other than to
state that he expects to devote him¬
self more largely to private business
and to his literary work. His arti¬
cles published by the Atlanta Journal
are widely read.
Mr. Boifeiulette was appointed to
the public service commission by Gov¬
ernor Nat E. Harris and began his
duties November 1, 1916, succeeding
Joseph F. Gray, who retired to enter
private business. In the election of
1918, Mr. Boifeuilette was elected
without opposition to fill the unexpir¬
ed term of Mr. Gray and also to serve
an additional six-year term, which is
now expiring.
The retiring commissioner’s public
service includes a secretaryship to
the late Senator A. O. Bacon, several
years of service as clerk of the house
of representatives, and a diplomatic
post at the Court of St. James.
Mr. Boifeuilette’s policy as a pub¬
lic service commissioner has been
based on the expressed desire to see
that public service corporations re¬
ceive a fair return on their invest¬
ments computed on an equitable basis
but not to the extent of establishing
excessive rates for service.
He has fought increases in rail¬
road rates—(express)—and has advo¬
cated lower rates on fertilizer, hogs,
livestock, and kindred products.

create a profitable industry, it was
pointed out here today by officials of
the Georgia Department of Agricul¬
ture.
The agricultural department offi¬
cials state that Georgia is a favored
state in climate, affording all-year
round pasturage and accessible for
delivery into Floridh. Milk, it was
stated, could be produced and sold
much cheaper in this state than milk
produced in states further north
where severe winters are common.
While the dairy industry in this
state has grown to be quite an indus¬
try, agricultural department officials
show, yet, they assert, there is room
for improvement and increased pro¬
duction which would soon become one
of the state’s chief industries.
Both the agricultural department
and the state college of agriculture
have accomplished a great deal in
encouraging the dairying industry, it
was stated.
A monthly statement system will
save time and worry in getting out
your bills on the first of the month.

SMOKELESS SHIP
. CROSSES OCEAN
SWEDISH MOTORSHIPS, FIRST
OF KIND, MAKES SUC¬
CESSFUL TRIP.
NEW YORK.—Slipping into the
harbor like a ghost, with no plume of
white steam from her whistle to an¬
nounce her arrival, nor even a wisp
of smoke from her two funnels, the
Swedish motor ship, Gripsholm, first
of her kind to cross the Gripsholm is
the fix-st large passenger ship of this
type.
Crude oil is used for internal com¬
bustion such as an automobile uses
gasoline. Each engine drives a pro¬
peller and the combined horsepower
is about 22,000. Being a motorship
the Gripsholm does not have the usual
need for the two big funnels she car¬
ries; one of them is used as an ele¬
vator shaft and the other as a com¬
bined elevator and ventilator shaft.
