E. H. Weightman, weather forecaster,
said it is “very unusual.” The weath

nnnhwest winds, sweeping in from
the Arctic North, are warm, but the
basic cause isn''t known.
Tile whole fall season has been ab
normally warm, Weightman observed,
with unusual warm currents from the
South responsible for part of it. New
high record marks for December 19
were expected to be set today in many
cities.
The bureau shies irt predictions
more than 48 hours in advance, but
Weightman decided to risk it and
forecast mild weather until the latter
part of next week.

Ailiout a week ago a newspaper dis
patch from Tokyo, Japan, carried a
strange story. A young Japanese lieu
tenant was ordered to active service
in Manchuria, scene of Sino-Japanese
hostilities for the past two or three
months. His pretty wife, a young girl
who had been married to him only six
teen months, committed suicide “in
order to relieve him of anxiety con
cerning her lonely condition during
bi.s-abseacft.” „

It is net straining the truth to say
that Some of us derive enjoyment
from a feeling that we have done
something that is “heroic." Quite of

to ]'leuse, by thoughtless aet.s which,
on the surface, apj)ear to l)e the very
es.-erue of self-denial and self-sacri

pecially common.

wife is used simply as an illustration.
