Then later In March (1936) the forecast was inude that the peach crop would he as large as 1935 Results have verified these | forecasts The forecasts for preclpl tatlon Idlcated that as well the same ! conditions for the dust howl reglonH ! of the West, for rainfall has broken I the drought there and saved the food crops. The forecast of 1935 Is repeated? J only more fully for the year beginI nlng September 22-29, which Is the I week of the physical new year in meteorology Thus It Is a significant fact connected with this period of the year upon whose phenomena the j I Dutch Weather Prophet bases Ti 1k ( forecasts that It Is closely related to the Jewish new year. The physical year here Is distinguished front nny other chronology which muy be formulated In this respect -fiscal years or j other calendar years. However fruitless any effort may j be considered to reconcile science I - I with the Hibilical account of creation, i yet the forecasts of the Dutch Weather Prophet, which have been based on the latter, are predicated on meteorollcal phenomena which he believes has existed, so far as any definite written record Is concerned, during more than 50 centuries?that is, to the year 5659 of the Jewish era. Nothing Is more Inspiring In this respect, as related to thih subject, than the rendition of Haydin's spendld oratorio, "The Creation," for one can visualize rapturously the processes of the creation In their divine order under the inspiration of this great musician's superb composition as It In some of its parts especially defines the ongoings of meteorological phenomena thlH set on motion. Thus It has been 40 years since the Dutch Weather Prophet began to apply cloud formations and other meteorological phenomena occurring at certain periods of the four movements of the earth (chiefly diurnial and oscillating) as the basis of this forecast ! and others which have preceded It During the year (beginning September 22) no drought will prevail thruout the crop season In the SoutheMt. Rainfall likewise will be abundant I throughout the country, Including that section of the West where the I most severe drought ever before known parched the soil there last summer. Moreover, crops will be unusually productive in that section, as is always the case when preceded bycrop failure chiefly caused by such a drought. Dust bowls need not be apprehended for 1937 in that reuion. The Dutch Weather Prophet has no apprehension like a certain scientist that the Western plains may become a desert similar to the Sahara in Africa. The fact is. the Sahara d?-sert in Africa was created for a definite purpose when it is considered that evidences of Egyptian civilization would never have been preserved to be realized this age were it not for the fact that the sands of the great desefrt made effective for the most part the dry atmosphere of that region eventually made it possible, though discovery of the tomb of Tut-ank-Ahmen j and other marvels of 30 centuries ago j which reveal culture and art that ! even transcends achievements of this modern era ? one especially being manuscripts in papyri which prove I the authenticity of the New T. staj ment Itself. Abundance of rainfall will bring accordingly other forms of precipita| tlon. Four snows of more or less large proportions are scheduled for the latitude of Columbia?and the number will no doubt be increased one or more The forecasts of last year is repeated here that some of the coldest winters ever experienced by the old| est inhabitant will occur during the j period of 1935-1939. So the coming ; winter may be the cold winter of 1727 ; when the mercury dropped around | zero In Charleston. It will not be a mild winter anywhere on the American continent the coming year. The complete cycle of warm and , cold winters embraces practically 35 i years, each half of this period being divided equally between warm j cold winters The earth passed Into the cold winter period In the : fall of 1935. and henceforward during j 17 1-2 years cold winters will prevail i predominantly, similarly as warm winters thus prevailed since 1918 (the last of the cold winters of the half cycle period 1900-1917.) This cycle la calculated upon the revolution of Jupiter around the sun ?a period of 11 1-2 years of the | earth's similar revolution. The contact of the atmosphere of the sun at this period with Jupiter In the same respect cans** sun spots of immense I ?l*e (each thrice the diameter of the earth), and the sun spots cause condensation and it produce* greater amount of precipitation than at any other pei iod in the vurioun formations of fog, rain and snow. Now while the complete cycle is 35 years, this number of years results from the combination of three years of Jupiter's revolution of 11 1-2 years, for no proposition can be accomplished without the cooperation of three major factors of human endeavor. It is even of divine origin. (Fuller explanation of this theory is reserved for the next instalment of this forecast. It would extend it an unusual length to bo considered at this time.) Earliest frost of any consequence will occur during the week of which October 13 is the central date (three days before or after the 13th." Present appearance of all vegetable growth indicates that killing frost is at least 28 duys in the future of October 9-13. It is opt possible to indicate the dates of snows, the Dutch Weather Prophet realizes, but he hopes to solve this problem eventually. However. as four and (probably more) snows are scheduled for the coming winter, one or more will" no doubt ocr cur before or during the Christmas holidays. W. P. Houseal Columbia, 8. C.

The commerce department estimates that about $496,000,000 of foreign capital flowed Into the United States during the first half of 1936, or about $124,000,000 less than during the first six months of 1935. Imports of gold totaled $537,000,000. Social Security Outlines Program ! The State Board of Education has proved for use iu the high schools of South Carolina a unit of atudy on "Federal Aid for Social Security with Special Reference to South Carolina." The unit of instruction, published by the Temporary State Department of Public Welfare and prepared by Dr. J. McT. Daniel, professor of education 1 at the University of South Carolina, will be taught in connection with civ-1 Ich and citizenship courses. Dr. Daniel states simply and clearly the meaning of social security, gives the provisions of the Social Security Act, and explains what South Caro- j lina must do to share in the federal i efforts toward social security. Maps included in the study show the status of approved public assistance plans for federal-state cooperation for social security. Specifically, the purpose of the study is: To call students' attention to the meaning of the term "social security." To give them an opportunity to learn about the Federal Government's proposal to promote social security. To give them an opportunity to learn about the extent to which the Federal government proposes to assist the states in providing social security. To give them an opportunity to learn of the extent to which South Carolina may participate in Federal aid for social security. To help them determine what South Carolina must do in order to participate in the Federal aid for social security. To help them form a defensible judgment as to whether or not the Federad aid plan is a step in the right direction toward a solution. To help them form a defensible judgment as to whether or not South Carolina should participate in the Federal aid plan. To help them determine the status of South Carolina with respect to the Federal aid plan. Crack in Slate of 'Master Strategist' Columbia, Oct. 3.?An Anderson county legislator who called himself a supporter of governor Olin D. Johnston assetrted here yesterday that he did not consider himself pledged to support L. C. Wannamaker, of Chesterfield, for speakership of the next house of representatives although a caucus of Johnston supporters had endorsed Wannamaker for the post. Hep. Itufus Newton said, "I am definitely of the opinion that the speaker should be an experienced man in the legislature. I believe In recognising faithful service and seniority." (Wannamaker was elected at the last primary although he had previously served In the houBe.) Newton explained he had not attended the recent caucus of the Johnston house forces but that he had wired the governor he would lend his support to the man chosen. He had he said, "the belief that the nominee was to come from that group of members who had served in recent years and I telegraphed the governor on that basis." He added that there was no mention of Wannamaker at that time. Then Anderson representative said his statement did not mean that he could not eventually support Wannamaker but that It merely meaqt he did not consider himself bouna by the decision of the caucus. Candidates for the speakership are Wannamaker and Rep. Solomon Blatt of Barnwell, speaker pro tern in the last session who is classed as antiJohnston.* Representative nominate Thomas Pope of Newberry, before Newton's statement, said that he and several other "independents" who had attended the caucus had not * committed themselves. Passengers will begin to be carried from San Francisco to Manila, this week, by the air route, and the first trip will have at least six passengers, including several newspapermen.
