The Slirinors were in Los Angeles again for their annual imperial session and the grand climatic parade of the whole doings was scheduled. But it wasn't hold. It wasn't held because many of the Shrinors had . trono to Los Ancreles un-cnuipped with slickers, gum boots or gondolas. Without those, or some of them, navigation of the Los Ansreles streets was impossible, because whisper it gently because it was raining in Los Angeles on Wednesday, June 3, 1925. And not only was it raining but it was raining like the long dash that the Shriners used in their improvised eong to describo it. That is the way it does rain in Los Angeles when it rains at all. It always seems, when , it rams in Los Angeles, as . of decent restraint. That probably is because rain is ' something that is dono there so seldom lack of experi i enco, as it wero. Anybody who ever bas seen the repre 1 Rendition of a rain storm in the movies may got from thai a good idea of how it rains in Los Angeles like upsetting a giant tub of water all at one throw. Half a .minute in a Los Angeles rain means a soaked skin. ', Streetcars simply quit and go out of business. Gutters flood. Pavement become a muck. The poor old starved Los Angeles river jumps from its wonted extreme of watorlessness to a rarin' tarin' torrent turned up on edge for the nonce. Usually it rips out a culvert or two and a bunch of Mexican oholo shacks. Eeally it is ex citing. But Los Angeles doesn't tell the world about it. We should say not. To the world Los Angeles is ever heralded as right next door to heaven meteorologically speaking as well as in all other ways. That's what mndo it so very provoking to have a rain storm like that of Wednesday jerk loose in June and with the town full of visitors from the four corners of the earth. It was, like a boil on the nose, something that couldn't be concealed It was positively unfortunate. It was the most goat-getting thing that could have happened. It was indeed.

The Ruffian Rifflans (Baltimore Sun) Morocco is a country in the north of Africa; it has a sultan who can't control the tribes thst Inhabit his realm, and he collects taxea once a year with his army. Town officials serve without pay sdd frankly get what graft they con. . When rain falls Morocco hsa more gorgeous flowers than any land In the world. It has goats, also, whose hides are used to make genuine moroeco: It has sheep with four horns, and cows that are wild and woolly and won't give down their milk unless the calves are looking on. It has cooties, but no house sparrows. A people called Berbers are the most numerous and most important In Moroeco. They are fair-skinned and they are first-class fighters. The newspapers call them Illffiana. Three times In history these Rif flans have conquered Spain, and countless times they have licked Spanish troops. It hns become a habit with them. Now they are trying to lick the French, the French being permitted by secret treaty to pinch hit for ths I'on when necessary. Ths Rifflans wish to he let alone But In thoir land are valuable de posita of gold and other metals, and these, In the language of diplomacy, make the Rifflans undeveloped people who must be subdued.

It I The Question Now Arises - - 1 SCIENTISTS CLAIM VINDICATION Cold Wave Held to Confirm Theory That we Are to Have. Sun merleaa Years For While By CHAULE9 P. STEWART (NBA Service Writer) VV ASH INGTON, June 0. A paean of triumph went up from the long distance weather forecasters a few days ago when the lateet cold wave swept the country. It wasn't a paean of Joy. , ,m The f or eca liters Bee nothing to re joice about in the prospect of two or three years of cold summers, crop failures, consequent food scarcity and tough times for everybody. ' They simply say their predictions are being fulfilled, bo people had better listen to them and take what precautions they can against suffer ing, even death maybe, before the world's climate returns to "normalcy." What gave a touch of the sensa tional to the thermometer's recent performance was the mercury's climb, just before its startling nose dive, to altitudes almost unheard of so early in the season. This was general in most parts of the northern hemis phere whence readings ore available. Then, all in a minute, the bottom fell out. For example, in Washing ton at 2 p. m. May 24, it was 00; at 10 p. m., AO. From points throughout the coun try came similar reports, even snow in some sections mighty unusual near the end of May. Jt turned cold In Europe, too. "Winter," said a dispatch from Leningrad, "has returned in northern Russia below rero deep snow un precedented ao late in the spring. . If the May cold wave is followed by three or four more during the summer, the long distance forecast era wilt have made out a pretty good ease, so far as this year is concerned. "A cold summer," Herbert Jan rrtn Browne, one of the long distance fraternity's leaders, told me months ago, "doesn't necessary mean cold all In New York f By JAMES W. PEAN VEW YOHK, Juns 6. One great tragedy which liea under the sur face of things and well hidden from casual observation is the great num ber of persons here addicted to the use of opiates. A noted authority on the drug hsblt recently estimated that there are (WO.OOO persons in New York City who are urlng drugs as a habit Thst seeina to be an exaggeration for it would mean that one person in every 12 here used drugs. However, there is heavy trarrtc In drugs In several sections of the city I serted his position of sword-swallow-and it seems to be heaviest along the er at one of the local amusement Hlnlto. I am Informed that one llronihvav cigar store sells opium wrapped in cigareta and that another sells the drug In a trick cigar which has a container concealed in the filler. A new organisation has for Its pur pose the eradication of the drug habit among people of the stage and screen, not that the habit is more prevalent In that profcsnion than In some oth ers but it is more noticeable to the public It Is estimated thst among the stage and screen players there are 800 drug users. Special attention la being psid to a famous composer and vaudeville star who will soon resume public ap pearances totally cured, it is he lleted. Children of one of America's most noted dramatic stars and a bus bsnd snd wife who recently co starred on Broadway are others under observation.

"Put generally It will be chilly, with several short but extremely cold periods. Even a few frosts during the growing season mean a crop fail ure.' Right or wrong, the long distance forecasters agree among themselves, anyway. The authority on whose ob servations they rely Is Dr. U. O. Ab bot, Smithsonian Instution aatrolophy- sical expert Abbot Bays the sun s beat varies cyclically. He records those supposed changes. The government weather bureau considers them imaginary, but the long distance forecasters believe in them. . Earthly weather changes follow them, they argue, lagging, however, three years behind, while the earth is absorbing them. Taking Abbot's solar record as a basis for their pre dictions, the forecasters arrive at practically Identical conclusions. "Our weather," says Browne, "is made for us three years In advance. It can be foreseen unerringly." Professor H. H. Clayton, veteran meterelogist, formerly of the United States weather service, later fore caster for the Argentine government and now experimenting independently in this country, indorses Browne's views. The sun, after having a cool spell, is warming up now, according to Abbott "But," says Clayton, "we must first experience the terrestrial reflection of the chilly period.

Sword-swallowers, I hsvs always believed, employ some sleight-of-hand trick in thrusting a long blade down their throats.

By FRANK FAY EDDY M'TUKlt UlRHANKs v.ews n evolution are exactly those one might nave anticipated from him. They a'e the views which reflect- the mental attitude common to all persons who follow the acieutltic method in work. ing out their problems. In a long IMl a practical experimenter in plaut culture Mr. Burbank has found that tha evolutionary explanation of tha interrelation lite according to the Mendnlian law, ons of tha discovtr.-l by-laws in the greet divine constitu tion of the universe, works inevitably auu wua preuictaoie accuracy, .nil through ths government of the forms and species of life. He knows this is truth, l-robsbly n.illiona of exneri - menta by scientists liks Mr. Burbank , in all parts of the world tried this I law without one recorded failure. It' is about as well proved as anything ' can ut proiru in inis worm. ... NATURALLY. Mr. Burbsnk's men tal attitude is reflected in his whole'1" ,Mon in Albany schools next nUlosophy of life.

SmiVh of the facts, he has hsd a wonaerfnl succeis as a ,.Iant culturut The only philosophy of or theory which would harmonize with bii experiment in plant development was erolution. So he is an evolutionist. He is such been use he was first a scientific thinker. Likewise in religion he guite naturally found most of the theology of the orthodox Christian church en to be but an expression of deduction baied on unprovable assumptions and I imagine would cass the two crea tion stories in Genesis as but the curious survival of myth in thfc intel lectual life of modern times. So it is naturally for bim to find church answering his needs in the creedleM freedom of I'niiarianism, afway sym pathetic and responsive to scientific : thinking. ' . IT HAPPENS that Mr. Burbank Is cf a philosophic turn of mind and es capes the specialkmi which character izes so many scientific men. Mont scientists are simply amazed at the present revival of the old controversy which followed the publication of Darwin's "Origin of Species." In gen eral scientists are not greatly inter ested in the descent sf man, except where it comes within their particular field. It is in the evolutionary scheme but A minor episode. Their scepticism toward the biblical account of creation is neither theistic or atheistic. They have plenty to do in surveying and cataloguing data in ; the field of phenomena within the reach of their senses. If they become I philosophic they speculate per hups beyond the realm of the provable but cannily bold the facts of the-life pro cess always injnind and throw out of consideration almost at the start all anthropomorphic conceptions of deitv Some stop thinking about it when they come face to face with an eter nal energy behind all phenomena. Some venture farther on the wings of speculation and make the, at least not impropable assumption, of mind operating behind and within all phenomena. DAVID EUGENE OLSEN, In 8 recent communication in The Guard, becomes a critic of Mr. Burbank's published interview, which he char acterises as a "blundering article," which something of a joke, the joke being on Mr. Olsen. The ditierene between Mr. Burbank and Mr. Olson Is Mr. Burbank has abandoned the oul theologicnl interpretation origins, customs and morals with Its attenl ant scheme of salavtlon and put in it place the philosophy of evolution while Mr. Olsen retains that theology as the philosophy of Ms life. If reli gion is a life lived sincerely according to the truth a man accepts as his own. either man may be nobly religious. Ir is my guess that the spiritual life of Mr. Burbank. evolutionist, will com pare Quito favorably with that of Mr. Olsen, Christian, or even with Wil liams Jennings Bryan, who wears a halo of which he is unbecomingly con scious. AS TO THE DEBATE Vnieh Mr. Olsen and his "scholarly friends" 'of fer to finance between Mr. Burbank and some unnamed defender of the biblical theory of creation, It may uo said that Luther Burbank is too hap pily and valuably busy a man to be wasted In any such public , contra versy. Besides he Is not a debater, not a talker, but n doer of marvelous things. It would be something like o crime to take him for day aw-iy from hi wonderful gardens. Then: will h nlentv of debating before we nre through with this question. Bui the real scientists are too busy and miiMi flhuorhed in their work to take much part in It, unless another Huxley appears on tne scene. Consolidation Plan Is Broached Eugene and Springfield a One la Suggested The question of consolidation of ihe towns of Eugene and Springfield has been edvanced from time to time, but, sside from casual talk littlo consider ation has been .given the matter. To my mind it is a anhject that ia entit led to an immediate and thorough in vestigation. The city of Eugene is rapidly expanding and questions are coming up now, especially in railroad mutters, thst would warrant Eugene nnd Springfield's getting together and trjing at once to formulatea plan to make one big and better city; a city Unit would Incorporate a vast field for manufacturing and educational in terests and a great jobbing and dis tributing center. To keep the river within its bounds snd esablish a row of cluster l.rhta along the highway would do the business and put us on the map as the socond city In the slate of Oregon. I am Inclined to think the good level-headed citixens of both Spring field and Eugene will agree with me on thia proposition. HEMU'-W. STEWART I 25 Years Ago (From The C.iiard June fl. 1000) I E.
