This is the real midsummer, the
activity. 1 f '
The President la oo his way home
from Hawaii and may have something
cheerful and exciting to tell us.
He will learq that mutual savings
bank accounts have reached a new
high peak throughout the nation, de
positors having Increased In the past
six months by 278,096. The total num
ber of Individual depositors Is now
13,686,947, and total deposits are near
ly ten thousand million dollars, a good
deal of money.
That Is good news for those that
have something and know enough to
save part of it. It means, however,
that many open or Increase savings
accounts because. they do not know
any other safe way to Invest money,
and that Is not so cheerful. Good
times depend on new ventures, bring

Vienna, Austria.—Austria, officially
pointed an accusing finger at Germany
for the blood which flowed from a Kast
attempt to seize the Austrian govern

. An announceuiepL-ipproved by the
cabinet said directions to Austrian
Nazis were sent Into the country sev
eral weeks ago from Germany.
The plans, which Included the pos
sibility of civil war, said Walter Adam,
propaganda chief, In a radio address,
were seized In the shoes of a man ar

ThcT Sfussoilnl, with heads thrown
back, sang recently in Venice.
It’s a complete divorce of dictators
now, and because of that little rift
within the lute France and Italy are

They were far apart before Dollfuss
was hilled. Political, and other assas
sinations are never profitable. One,
twenty years ago, started the great
war.
This Dollfuss murder breaks up a
beautiful budding friendship between
dictators, and threatens Germany with
complete national Isolation.

Marie Dressier is dead, after a brave
fight against death. The world learns
from her that success depends on
brains and courage. She lost the good
looks uf-youth shortly after forty, so
Mr. Ziegfeld decided that he could not
give her work, as he hoped to do. She
struggled, unsuccessfully, for fourteen
years, lost all her savings, never lost
her courage. And when she died, at
sixty-two, she was one of the greatest
successes in moving pictures, most
highly paid, respected and admired,
with no help from any beauty parlor.
Moving picture men should notice
that Miss Dressier was able to earn
great profits for her producers, in

Many suggestions for stopping
severe drouth of 1934 came in to the
United States weather bureau the
last few weeks. Just as many are re
ceived for stopp.ng floods in times of
excessive rainfall. In fact, a single
cause, for example, the wide use of
radio, ia often advanced for both
drouth and flood. No device yet de
veloped by mantis of any practical
value in starting or stopping rain,
according to Dr. W. J. Humphreys,
of the weather bureau.
Nature’s method of making rain,
Dpctor/Humphreys explains. Is first

the/atmosphere by evaporation from
neater surfaces, ice surfaces, growing
regetatlon, and damp soli and then
to "squeeze it out by lowering the
temperature.
_ Ordinarily there is enough mois
ture in the air to provide at least a
moderate rainfall whenever the ma
chinery for its condensation into
raindrops is working right. This ma
chinery calls for the proper distribu
tion and movement of air masses dlf
fering In temperature and density.
In other words, when a normal
movement of atmospheric “highs”
ana “lows” is interrupted and a rela
tively stagnant atmospheric condi
tion is established and persists for a
long time, drouth develops, notwith
standing the fact that there may be
enough moisture in the air to pro
duce rain.
Obviously, Doctor Humphreys
points out, radio, which neither has
tens nor retards evaporation and
does not cool the air or In any way
promote condensation of the mois
ture in the air, cannot be a factor in
