ABOUT THE WKATHER Yesterday we wrote a weather story about La Grande and its dry summer, calling attention to the fact that the sum mer has been drier than usual although the total rainfall during the first eight months of this year was nearly three inches above normal, and also asserting that this summer has lieen unusually brief and cool. Perhaps you read the story on the front page of last night's paper. . Well, just a short time after completing that article we received an item over the Associated Press wire in which Edward L. Wells, government meteorologist in Portland, de-ilai-ed that people who complain that "it doesn't seem that we've had any summer at all" will be surprised to leam that Sir. Wells does not agree with them. This gentleman says that Portland, and the rest of the state, too, as a matter of fact, had a wamier, drier summer thin usual; that the mean temperature for the past three jiWnths ip Portland was 1.3 degrees above normal and that rainfall was only about 40 per cent of normal; that June wfts the driest Portland has ever had, and that August was ; .both warmer and drier than usual. . '" We felt rebuffed after reading his statement. In fact, iye felt almost as if someone had come along and called us a'this-and-that or something of the sort. Not that we hold any animosity toward Mr. Wells; for we realize that any . frood weather man bases his opinions ,on actual figures. We bear him no ill will ; nor do we demand, an apology. iut we insist, and we are prepared to prove it, top, that this summer was shorter than usual and cooler than usual at least according to the methods by which the average man tigures it. Most of us will agree that our summer did not start until after une 6, when the minimum was 40 above. And prac tically all with Whom we have spoken are of the opinion that the 1932 summer came to a close last Saturday, when the weather turned cold and rainy. Since then the air has felt more like fall than summer. We agree with Mr. Wells that it was drier than usual, and that the mean temperature for the state was warmer than 'usual; figures do not lie! But we notice that he did not say much about the length of our summer (and by "our summer" we. mean Eastern Oregon's) nor did he dwell at length upon the subject of heat waves. '"''Usually our summer lasts until after Labor day. And usually during the summer we have at least two, and some times three or more heat waves during which the thermome ter soars to 98 and 100 or even 104 or 107. And these heat waves usually last three or four days at least. This summer we have had no such heat waves, and upon this premise we base our presumption that this summer was ftot as warm as usual, j-egardless of the mean temperatures take the adjective any way you wish. The mercury did not even reach the 100 mark! And how could an Eastern Oregon summer be warmer than usual unless the tempera ture broke into three figures at least once 7 After all this, we surmise that Mr. Wells, esteemed meteo rologist that he is, undoubtedly will snicker up his sleeve; but so will we for we've proven it now to our own satis faction at least, that the past summer was not as warm as usual.

The ATI1LETKS AM) ATHLETICS Those who are inclined to deplore the modern tendency to unduly glorify a successful athlete and to overemphasize ath letes need not deceive themselves that such has not always been the custom. Americans make much ado over professional baseball and collegiate and scholastic footlwill. Millions have been ex pended on stadiums and there has been widespread dissatis faction over the fact that football coaches earn more in three months than professors earn in nine. There is another popu lar superstition to the eflect that college and high school athletics, league baseball, golf and horse racing are being taken too seriously, at the expense of academic studies, home and business. Sports have reached a high stage of development in the United States and in .some foreign countries, yet none seem to have even approximated the athletics and sports of ancient Rome and Greece. inv ' The Colosseum and similar arenas and amphitheaters of Home and Greece have left their ruins to remind the modern world how ancient civilizations lavished their wealth on their athletics and athletes. The Olympionikae, as the victors of the Olympiads then were known, were showered with every conceivable honor and opportunity for living in luxury ever after. and whose helpful desires have been lor its acceptance by tne nation, but who have reluctantly come to the conclusion that it Is advisable to heed the clamor for a change In the meth od oi liquor control. And the president frankly sets forth his personal notion of the form such change should taie. If a change must come. Though Mr. Black. like many of us. does not go along with the president's proposal of abandonment of national control to state control, yet as a prohibitionist he will aup port the president because "in h personal habit, he is strictly dry; during whose presidency no liquor has or will be served in the White House; whose record Is that of a con sistent dry . . . and who is "way ahead' on all other Issues. Mr. Hoover's fundamental belief Is; probably the same as when he en tered the White House, that prohl-; bltion would be a very desirable thing it It could be enforced on aU alike, j But after four years of close touch : with the problem in an earnest ef fort at enforcement, finds that it Is impracticable to control the many unforseen abuses which have grown ' up around the 18th amendment. 1 Sentiment for state control is un doubtedly in the majorivy among re peall.ts, but as has been said here be lore, it Invites 48 varieties of trouble. But we accomplish reforms not by clean sweeps, but by battles In which the tide surge 3 back and forth. Tolerance takes into account the will of the majority and Is will ing that the controversy come to a showdown. But mark these words. If congress enacts legislation in ac cordance with either party platform ant me people ratny tne change through their chosen representatives. siraigniway states win oegm to vote dry one by one until there are enough in the do area to demand national control. In the end we be lieve the people will find that after all the liquor question is no more a matter for the separate states than was the problem of slavery. Of the two major party presiden tial candidates. Mr. Black sees in Hoover the most likely friend of pro hibition, in that he will "do nhs ut most" to enforce the law as he flnos it. The prohibition Issue will not be as strong iu the campaign as at first appeared likely. The concordant views of the presidential candidates leave the issue rather flat. But there l I this distinctive difference in their positions Hoover is pledged to up-1 hold the prohibition laws until the! people decree a change; Roosevelt Is I pledged by his party platform toi uirju. nie law i u i wic irujj,e nue had an opportunity to express their will.
