Chief of the Weather Bureau Says
Atmospheric Temperatures Are
Not Perceptibly Affected by

Washington. The hot wave that
this country experienced this summer
has been of unprecedented duration,
according to weather experts at the
central otliee of the I'nited States
weather bureau here. There have
been short durations of a month or
less when the temperatures were high-
er than during the re< « nt hot weather,
but never before, the weather men be-
lieve. certainly not in the last fifty --r
sixty years whose temperature records
have been dug into, have abnormal
temperatures been so cwrlasiingl> on
the Job.
Kven last winter, which we remem-
ber as an extremely mild one. was the
beginning of the extended h 'at wave.
In the eastern and central stales, east
of the Rockies, for the last II mouths,
excepting only November, temper-
atures have been consistent I> higher
tliaii the average temperature over a
long stretch of years, which i- taken
as standard.
The people of Host on have been liv-
ing in Philadelphia during the first
si\ months of this year, so far as tem-
perature is concerned. Alfred .1. Hen-
ry, meteorologist at the weather bu-
reau has found. The average temper-
ature of Boston lu:s been abnormally
high, and from .lanuarv to June has
equaled that usually experienced in
Philadelphia.

Chicago lias, however, been the hot
spot of the country this summer, an
analysis of reports show. .1 ill\ was
the hottest month that that city lias
had for ." 1 years. Its average tem-
perature for the month was 2.8 de-
grees warmer than any other month,
while it was X.s degrees higher than
normal. That city has been so con-
tinually hot that the average temper-
ature for July is higher than the av-
erage normal highest temperature,
while the average minimum tempera-
ture for the month degrees high-
er tlinu the normal monthly mean.
Twelve July dtiys of above !M) degrees
weal her broke ail previous records,
and f>4 days when the temperature
was continually above normal were
other record breakers. The accumu-
lated excess temperature at Chicago
from the first of the year to the end
of July has been the large total of
1 .To.", degrees. Tills means that since
January 1, the avewnge daily excess
in temperature has been S..1 degrees.

try and most of the Pacific coast have

the so-called '(enters of action'

I boric changes.' Professor Mar-
states. "These large air move-
ments caused by pressure chnngqjt 1
seem to be re:i 1 causes of temperature
changes and precipitation, but we
have yet to b arn wiiat causes them."
The long hot spell that we have
been experiencing Is no sure sign that
It will continue and that we will have

ren'Smith who st .lies the weather

HENS
I had talked a little while about
barons and serfs as contrasted with
landowners and tenants, at ti meeting
of farmers and others in a town in
Southern Oklahoma. Of course there
was some mention of cows and sows
and hens. As 1 am leaving, a man
came up saying, "1 want to shake
your hand. I'm the photographer
here. We have two cows and a flock
of hens. Without them, we couldn't
get along tit all. With them, we coud
get by if 1 didn't make a cent in my
business. We used to keep pigs until
a town ordinance made us quit. Cows
and hens make us a living here in town
on a few lots where we have to buy
nearly till the feed I can't understand
what farmers who have no cow or sow
or hen . are thinking about. I guess
they're not thinking. Keep it up."
Every village an town, where they
haven't yet become so all-fired sani-
tary that the odors incident to the
production of the most nourishing of
human foods have become subjects of
.•••pressive local legislation, can supply
many instances sirriliar to this
Many who live on farms might learn
much from studying some town back-
lots.
