Solar Periods Rule Forecasts Weather Predictions Based By Scientist on Sun's Radiation. WASHINGTON. ? There are 10 long periods in the radiation of the gun, each with directly observable effects on the temperature and rainfall of earth. These effects, however, vary with place and season and there is some as yet unknown factor that complicates long-range weather forecasting. * . i ' . These most recent conclusions from the work of the Astrophysical observatory of the Smithsonian institution were announced by Secretary Charles G. Abbot. They may bring a step nearer the day when useful weather forecasts may be made for several years ahead based upon solar observations. The sun's radiation also varies irregularly from day to day. These ' variations attend the sun's 27-day rotation, for the sun's surface has hot spots as well as cold spots upon it. Columns of finely divided matter shot from sun-spot regions appear to bombard the earth and veil the sun slightly when such sunspots are exactly central. Thus both increases and decreases of the sun's radiation affect us as the sun rotates. Cloudiness Is a Factor. An increase in the output of the sun, especially- if Of short duration, does not necessarily mepn an increase in the temperature of the earth as a whole. Local conditions, such as cloudiness and location with respect to prevailing winda, have profound effects. In the past Dr. Abbot has been puzzled by apparent "changes of phase" in the weather effects of the long periods in solar variation. Almost precisely opposite weather results would sometimes ensue from the same solar phenomenon. . Recent work has convinced himi however, that this is explainable. It depends on the season of the year. For example, he says, take-an dlfc-i month period?<me which he actually has found in the solar variations. Every tima it recurs in the same season it will have the .same effects at a given station, so far as itself is coacerned. Other simultaneously operating solar variations may, of course, partially modify the* effects. Lists Solar Periods. The solar periods now listed by Dr. Abbot range from 8% to 273 months. The latter, about 23 years, appears to be the major period in wYAch all the others repeat themselves and the most successful long range forecasts to date have been based upon it. They have been reasonably accurate for two or three years in advance. Dr. Abbot has analyzed temperature and precipitation records for Copenhagen, Vienna and New Haven for the past 140 years and found that solar periodicities continued with unaltered phase throughout this period. They were sufficient to account for all departures from normal temperatures. Dr. Abbot gives examples of fairly successful weather forecasts five years in advance. These are made, by finding the average effect of each of the 10 lopg solar periods on weather for 50 years back. These separate effects are then combined for the five years to come. Sees Farmers IVepared For Big Role in Defense WASHINGTON.?The nation received assurance from R. M. Evans, agricultural adjustment administrator, that American farmers would produce enough food and fiber supplies for use as "a weapon for defense and later in the peace negotiations to use as an instrument for building a decent world." Evans told -the annual national AAA conference here that the tripleA farm-control program was so arranged that it could handle adjustments upward or downward as required for defense, thus making agriculture better prepared for the present emergency than any other industry. Changes in Street Names Makes Life Confusing BUFFALO.?Life is all rather confusing to Roland F. Beasel?and the local police is forced to agree. Appearing in court for failing to report a change in address on his driver's . license, Beasel told the court that he hadn't, moved at all? only that the street's name had bean changed twice. , "I couldn't keep up with the changes in the street name," the defendant said. "Even now there is another change pending." "Case dismissed," sympathised the court. Scholars Must Salute Flag or Be Expelled!

V STEVENSON Almost 22 years have passed since Jack Dempsey won the world's heavyweight boxing title. Nevertheless Jack, who is 46 years old, is still an athlete. He weighs 250 pounds and is as hard as nails. He boxes regularly and still likes to crawl through the ropes and face a ring opponent though naturally his wind and legs are not what they were on that terrifically hot Fourth of July, back in 1919, when he flattened Jess Willard at Toledo. He does a great deal of traveling as he spends much time acting as a referee of boxing bouts all over the country. When in town, if he can get away from his restaurant business or other chores, he plays golf. Also he frequently takes walks in Central park. In the park, his companions are two pretty girls. They are his chief interest in life. One is five years old, the other seven. They are his daughters. . During the coming fiscal year it will cost $1,827,475 a day, including Sundays and holidays, to run the city of New York. That's at the rate of about $76,145 an hour or $1,269 a niinute. In light of war time defense spending that total does not seem huge. Yet it represents an outlay of more than $90 for each man, woman and child living in the five boroughs. The money necessary- to pay salaries and provide the various services supplied by the city of course comes from taxation. Heal estate owners pay the bulk of the cost. During the year they will-pay $573,740,594, much of which will be collected from rent payers by landlords. The rest of the budget money will come from the state and other sources. Young women of the last centusy didn't flock *to cocktail bars and night clubs for the simple reason that to visit a bar meant loss of reputation and there were no night clubs. they spent a lot of their time making fancy cushions which were used as gifts at/weddings, birthdays "and christenings. I acquired that information through visiting an exhibit of handiwork of fair ladies of the past at the Museum of the City of New York. The cushions are ornamented with silk, chenile, pearl beads and steel pin heads and thus are strictly ornamental. The oldest was made in 1825 and was presented as a christening gift. In the center of the design are the words, "Welcome, sweet babe/' Most -elaborate gate Fve seen in New York?incidentally the most beautiful?is the bronze portal at' the motor entrance to the Bronx park zoological gardens ... It was executed by WPA workers, I'm told, and is certainly a fine example of what can be done . . Fellow you'd least expect to be a baby talker is husky Tommy Riggs, former Ohio State quarterback . . . Riggs is known from coast to coast today not as one of the gridiron greats, but as the creator of Betty Lou, a five-yearold tyke . . . Speaking of football, this summer Ted Collins, radio tycoon, will have some important conferences with big. burly fellows at his Lake Placid retreat ... He is now the proprietor of a pro football team, the Long Island Indians. * Going uptown on a bus top the l other afternoon, two young women were discussing a friend who had been spending her vacation in Bermuda. "And she flew back," remarked one of the girls. ."All the way?" inquired the other. And that reminded me of an absent-minded friend, who when a friend informed him he had been down to Bermuda, asked innocently enough, "Did you drive?" That must have been more than 10 years ago but he hasn't been allowed to forget about it yet. - * Dorothy Jaffe, who runs a large matrimonial bureau, is proud of the fact that in the last five years she has played Cupid to 10,000 couples ; . . Whet she is most proud of, however, is that she married one of her own clients ... It hsppened in 1936 when she first founded her "marriage consultant" service . . * One of her early patrons was a dignified lawyer who was looking for a wife ... He didn't look farther than Miss Jaffe ...

Leaving the barracks, the visitors wore escorted to various points of (ntereet over the post. These Included: * The quartermaster post laundry, In charge of Major Clarence J. Keuail, post laundry officer, which employs approximately 60Q civilians and au ! additional 60 members of the Fourth platoon, Company It, Sixtieth Quartermaster battalion?a mobile laundry unit. The lAundry la the largest typo authorized by the Quartermaster corps, designed to clean the clothing of 35,000 enlisted men weekly at the low coat of $1.50 per mpnth to each man. Tho quartermaster wareliouso urea, where Colonel Llufrlo superintends the storing of supplies In 31 huge buildings for distribution as needed, was next on the tour of Inspection. Here the visitors caught a floetlng glimpse of tl\e thousands of food, clothing and general equipment Items supplied by the quartermaster to the troops. Next on the tour was tho Company B, Ninety-ninth Quartermaster battalion field bakery, a modern plant manned by expert bakers, used principally to produce a special type of field bread which retains Its freshness for periods of as long as two weeks. With thousands of troops scattered over a wide area, as will be the case In October and November when the First army begins its maneuvers In North Carolina and South Carolina, the Quartermaster corps is able to supply large quantities of field bread quickly and efficiently through Its warehouses at Fort Jackson and Wflmtngton, N. C. The largest field bakery in the world will be erected at Hamlet, N. C., to supply bread to the First army. Following the Inspection of the visitors left the quartermaster service faciltien but continued their tour of Fort Jackson with a visit to the Thirteenth Infantry area, commanded by Colonel Sujnner Waite. The Thirteenth Infantry was once the command of General Tecumseh ("War 1b Hell") Sherman. This famed regiment was also once the regi mentfft? General Paul Sheridan. Altnmigh the Thirteenth never reached France during the World war, the unit Is steeped In battle tradition. The very early records are not available but it is believed the regiment was organized shortly after the Revolutionary war. Colonel Walte spoke briefly and Interestingly of the regiment's history. Another famous outfit at Fort Jackson which the ^isltors expressed a desire to see was the One hundred and Second Esbox troop cavalry of the New Jersey National Guard, which arrived January 16 to start its tour of active duty. Converted from a horse to a horse mechanized regiment several months previous to coming South, the unit has kept pace with the training program and recently passed successfully a tactical test. Colonel Donald W. McGowan, its commander, was out of the city yesterday. Lieutenant Colonel C. M. Boycott of the One Hundred and Second Joined the party for luncheon and gave several ladies of the party a thrill by letting them ride In a "Jeep". The famed cavalry regiment had gone to a great deal of trouble to present the visitors a sparkling 30 minute review of the outfit's varied equipment, both mechanized and horse. The day's training program was cut that this might be done. When the visitors arrived the regiment's crack band was playing. And as the various types of the regiment's equipment came into view before the editorial party, Colonel Boycott idem i tifled the types. As the vebtcles and horsefc stopped in front of the party he gave detailed Information about them. Bringing up the rear of the review was a mobile kitchen on which cooking can be done while the truck on which the kitchen la mounted Is In motion. To demonstrate, how well such cooking can be done, delicious doughnuts cooked in the mobile kitchen were served to the visitors along with cooling orangeade. As a special tribute the band played "Dixie" as the editorial party broke into applause. Journeying thence to post beadquarters where Colonel Beebe controls the destiny of Fort Jackson, the visitors paused to hr photographed Ion area. ^ ^ The Thirtieth includes the One boys. The inspection, however, was kipped because the unit was just returning /from maneuvers. However, a motor trip was made about the One .Hundred and Eighteenth area. ' _ . * Last atop before the visitors left Fort Jackson for their homes was the Andrew Jackson housing area, recently completed on a 56-acre plot adjacent to the post. The project cost more than gl,000,000 and was designed to house 850 non-commissioned officers and their families. Civil service workers are also eligible to live in the - ^7?""
