PITTING A HELL ON THE WEATHER.
fl he fcrct'&Rting oi we ather with absolute accuracy i
a week lo t n days in advance is -ilie interesting1
proposition put forward by Ilagbard Kkerold, of!
Bergen. Norway, engineer, explorer, and friend ot
Dr. Fridtjof NanBen, who has established the!
■worldV farthest north wireless station. lie has just!
come to America to obtain aid for his scheme ofl
‘■putting u bell” on the weather.
Mr. Kkerold has an Ingenious scheme for eon-1
€juering the weather. Mod of the stormy weather, If I
assert a. originates around the North Pole. It is U|s|
plan to ring the Aretie Circle with observation iwsts,'
i aelt equipped to forecu.-t daily reports, since August!
1«21, he has maintained a weather bureau equipped
uith radio at Jan Mayden Island, north of latitudej
i:l tlu* Arc-1 ic Of an. midway of the North Cape of'
Noiwav and (lie Greenland Coast. It is proposed to!
supplement this with three others -to the west ofl
Greenland, at Cape I)ier, Baffin's Land, right on lati 1
Hide tlT. or the Arctic Circle: at Bear Luke, in Can-!
eda, end :;t Point Barrow, on the northern tip of tile*
Alaskan roast. Kkerold claims that with these three!
elation in operation and eitwe communication, ic
would be practicable to broadcast weather forecasts!
all ever the world with mathematical accuracy. Hjsj
project is raid to have the endorsement of both Nor
wegian and Britirh Got rnments. if successful, it
would bo i f benefit t > ocean shipping, aviation, agri
culture and'stock raising, and many oilier industries,
and businesses in which the hazard of weather is no
email element in stun m operation or failure.
GOV. HARDING MADE SPLENDID RECORD.
Without infering lack of fitness on tlie part of'
D. It. (^nssin^or lo serve a. Governor of the Federal !
Iteserve Board, to which position he was recently ap-1
pointed by President Hardin. there is ree-on lo re-1
gret that political phase- oi’ tlte situation made it
seem inadvisable to the President to re-appointed Gov.
W. P. G. Harding who headed the Board during the
war and through the more trying times of post-war
deflation. It has been charged by his critics, which
are most numerous In the agricultural sections of the
country, . ■ dominated the Hoard and enforced a
policy of deflation that was too stringent and caused
unnece 1 u> linancial and consequent economic hard
ships, Opposed to this view is tliat taken by bankers
generally, prominent economists and big business
men. Tlic ■ admit the stringency of the Hoard's pol
icy bn oft r rong proof that it was necessary tol
save a sit >i„: ion that, despite the policy, proved to lie
serious ami which without sane guidance and con
structice leadt r. hip might have gotten entirely out of
bounds.
Gov H.ioiliup's term expired last summer. For a
itime it w» thought lie would be given a reappoin'
ment by tin- (’resident but the oppositnn of the Farm
! Bloc in t'.uicress and of farmers' organizations
throughout the country proved too weighty. The
loss, liowev.-r. is not Gov. Harding's as he was lm-j
mediately olei ed as Governor of the Federal Reserve
| Bank of Boston, which carries with it a salary of
$2 ii.Otlu .1 . . A head of the Federal Reserve Board
he drew only $12,000, thus, financially, lie gains'
through the tight made on him. The country, how
ever, i ihe loser while New England gains the sere-,

I hi* Near Eastern Folk-Wandering.
(Mew York Evening Post.)
For tin obvious cruelty involved In the exchange
of 500,1100 (Jreeks and 400,000 Turks in the Near
Ertit. the Western Powers are responsible in a deeper
si use lin n in merely giving their consent. It is the
fruit Of ihr. e nationalist doctrines they have hug
taught by pi-cept and example. From Darius until
recent times the Near East had little sense of the
udvnntu.v ul making racial bounds coterminous
with national bounds. Turkey was conteht !:> he
a congeries of Arabs, Kurds, Syrians, Hebrews, Greeks
and Slavs, ot Christians, Moslems, Jews, and Parsecs,
so long a. the Ottoman exercised governmental sway.
At moment as when Abdul Hamid on coining to the
throne Issued Ills liberal but abortive "Middle Con
stitution. it seemed that this vuriguted Turkey mignt
achieve a harmonious representative government, just
as India, with its diversity of races and languages
promises to do under British guidance.
But so tierce now is ty desire of the Angora
leaders to make Turkey u homogeneous national state
"k<‘ Il“’y or England that many Observers think
organized exchanges of population the only safe
solution Mo less an authority than Arnold Toynbee
bolds that the process will have to work itself out
■ reel e, I'.uly rlu, Koumania, and Turkey will continue
taotr expulsions or worse "until the Near Eastern
people ahve been substantially regrouped into sepa
rate territorial compartments." Apparently Veui

that the shifts will mean "appalling loss and suffer

"Your business must be slack." re
marked Jones to ihe coal dealer.
“What makes you think so?” asked
the coal dealer.
''WiH. that is what you sent me
when I ordered coal," snapped Jones.
Fool Questions
O. T. asks: "Why does a clock go
right on working after it has
struck?" Probably because there Is
no walking delegate to make It quit.i
Ho. "um!
The cop hPanl a woman scream as|
l!ic auto speeded past him. A minutej
later he heard her scream again.
Hailing another car he started in,
pursuit. Every few minutes the air |
was rent with screams from the tlee-|
ing machine.
"Step on her! ' ho ordered the |
driver of the commandeered car.,
“There’s murder being done in that I
car!”
When they finally ov rtook the |
car and ordered it to halt, the cop!
found a very angry and bored-looking
little man at the wheel, while in the
rear seat sat a determined looking,
but very composed woman.
"What the devil does this mean?
Are you trying to murder this j
woman," demand d the cop. angrily
“Oh. no.” replied the man resigned
ly, "my wife is jit. t driving from the
back seat and every time 1 pass an
other car or street car she thinks
she is going to run into it and lets,
out a yell.”
What tho cop aid isn't printable
What tho man thought, ditto.
What the lady said tho cop didn't
wait lo hear- that is till of it.

about the awful neckties a man gets
at Christmas bat they are not so aw

These wise birds who write articles;
for the woman's pages on the kind o.
men girls like could save a Jot of
time and space by just telling the
truth in the single sentence. ‘‘They!
fikiv men witli plenty of money."
We suppose we at least will have!
to give some of these beauty parlors j
credit for trying to make the best of
things.

A wife who has been in the house

France Has Copious
Supply of Wine Now
PARIS, Jan. 31. The amount of
wine produced in France in 1922 ox
; coo led that of 1921 by more than 50
, l»or cent, according to the official
I figures published recently. The 1922
crop produced 1,513,500,000 gallons ftf
Wiilie, as compared with 990,000.000 in
I 1921. In addition to the French
vintage, Algeria produced during tin
past season 103.000,000 gallons of
wine, and taking into consideration
that 44.000,000 gallons of wine left
} over from 1931. it is evident that
whatever else Franco may be short
of, it will not be wine.
It. is anticipated by many dealers
that a cut in the price of wine will
he necessary to move the surplus
stocks.
