avenue, Brooklyn, a Y. M. C. A.
ecretary, has just received the Croix
6 de Guerre from General Haller, commander-in-chief
of the Polish army,
and has been mentioned in the official
citations. He is the third Y. M.

bravery.
Modra has been with the Polish
forces continuously since his arrival
Iln France five months ago, and has
given many notable exhibitions of gallantry
and fidelity to duty. During the
2r' last days of the hostilities he served
' with the First division in the Vosges,
in charge of a hut in a narrow valley
between the first and second line
trenches. From this hut he made trip
after trip, carrying supplies to the men

Thinks Weather Will be Mild With 1
Disagreeable Spells in March.
To the Editor of The State:
Indications for comparatively mild
weather for the remainder of the
winter are in evidence. One of the
indications is the cloudy, foggy conditions
which succeeded the mild and
beautiful period which preceded the
present period of precipitation.
Aside from any "ground hog" superstition
socalled, it is a notable
fact that midwinter which the month
of February ushers in decides one
way or the other the degree of tern- ~
perature which will prevail in great *
measure until spring. /
The weekly period of January 9, \
16, and 23 were accompanied with
rain VPt tha navt naiMa/1 To n ii o rir !
, ? v~v **v"* j/v? 1VU) OUUUUl J a
30,lwas clear and mild, but indicting
that at another turn of the cycle, the
weather would be cloudy with rain
before the next period, February 6,
to be followed without a doubt bj
fair weather and mild temperature.
The Dutch Weather Prophet in his
system designates a "cycle" as embracing
the half of the week?sometimes
three days; at other times four
days.
So it will be seen that in order to
bring about the indications for mild
weather for the immediate future, it
rained on the same day of the week
for three successive weeks, then a
cycle of four days intervened and the
rain came again at the opportune
time to prove the rule.
The Dutch Weather Prophet has
been asked if he thinks the weather
in the spring will be cold enough to
rotorH nroTiorotiA?o t-vI*****
4 WW** u IV1 LUllUU y ICLLl t
ing. The outlook in this respect for
unfavorable weather is not a matter
so much of temperature as precipitation,
which bids fair to retard soil
preparation the coming spring.
In making the above inquiry an
editorial friend suggested that if
cold weather should prevail at cotton
planting time, it would help to
carry the price to 35 cents. The
remedy for a higher price is in the
hands of the farmer. <He must cut
the acreage one-third while he is
holding the present crop. The world
will then realize that he is in earnest.
.
The Dutch Weather Prophet be- '
lieves that a cotton famine will prevail
during the period embraced in [
the years 1914-21. If the acreage ?
be cut one-third, it will contribute 5
to such an occurrence. The successive
short crops of 1915-18 will be
duplicated during the full seven-year
period. Tlie atmosphere of the earth
has been strangely effected by planetary
phenomena which these planecasts
have outlined as causing a paucity
in the fertility of all rainfall especially
since 1917, which has been
especially unfavorable to the maximum
production of fiber crops, of
which cotton is chief throughout the
world.
I shall withhold my prediction of
the size of the next cotton crop until
the planting season is under way.
In order that no misinterpretation
be placed upon my forecast for comparatively
mild winter weather from
this date forward, it may be expected
that in March disagreeable periods
as to wind and temperature will occur.

Big Still in Heart of City.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 14.?
What is declared to be the largest private
distillery ever found in the United
States was unearthed in the basement
of the Altmore apartment
house here today by the police and
tho alleged operator and owner of
the apartment, H. Kelho Hailey,
prominent club man and business
man, was placed under arrest, along
with three negroes, alleged to be assisting
him.
The distillery was discovered by
accident, City Detectives Burk, Paradiso
and Gillespie having been at
the time chasing a negro charged
with housebreaking, who sought refuge
in a socret passage to the basement
of the apartment. One apparatus
of 100-gallon capacity daily
was in full operation, they said,
while arrangements were being maae
to place four more stills at work,
which would havo turned out a total
of 8,000 gallons a day. Hailey
was discovered working on a new
copper worm in one of the many
apartments under tho building, the
detectives report, and great quantities
of corn in various stages of fermentation
for making whiskey were
found.
The fumes and smoke were carried
above the building by pipes and
a blow pipe was found in the room
where the still was. The equipment
was new, but older apparatus which
had been discarded in order to secure
greater capacity was found in the
place.
Hailey gave bond for his appearance
in local and federal courts.
All the fellows who want price-fixing
stopped need to do is to stop it
and the thign is done?just like
that.
