THE WEATHER (Autocaster Service) ONE subject on which everybody is always ready to talk is the weather. We don't like the weath er, and never did, but as Mark Twain once remarked, it is one of those things everybody complains about but nobody does anything about it. The commonest comment on win ter weather, at least in northerly climates, is that we don't seem to have the cold winters we used to have. Until lately the weather sharps have dismissed this con ment as an example of the fallibil ity of human memories. We re member the occasional deep snow of boyhood, they say, but forget the mild, open winters. Now, however, a careful study of the temperatures for every day in the year at 200 points in the United States, has con vinced the Weather Bureau that the winters and the summers, too are actually getting warmer. The record for the past ten years shows this to be true. From 1920 on there have been only two winters which were not definitely milder than what was re garded as normal. Spring has come earlier every year but 1925 and 1929, also, and has not been so chilly for so long. Ten years is too short a period to lead to any general conclusions, but the weather bureau records go back sixty years, and the past ten have been milder than the preced ing fifty. That is an indication of a trend which may not continue; but behind the weather bureau's obser vations are records of terrific win ters in America and Europe, far worse than any which the recent records show, while the record of geology proves clearly that it was not so many thousand years ago, as time goes, when the year-round ice cap covered the whole North Amer ican continent down to Ohio and New Jersey. The Ice Age has not yet com pletely vanished. Before it came there was a time when plants which we now regard as tropical grew in northern Greenland; their fossil re mains have been found there under the ice. The ice formed at the poles and crept southward at the rate of, perhaps, a mile a year. It has been receding at a rate not quite so fast for twenty thousand years. Every year the northerly limit of vegeta tion gets a few yards nearer the North Pole. And every year, if this theory be true, the average annual temperature ought to be higher by a fraction of a degree. The differ ence between this year and last will aasr?jfeg Sunday School Lesson n u International Sunday School esson for April 5. JESUS TEACHES HUMILITY. Luke 14:7-14; 18:15-17 REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D. Practical every day items are taught throughout the Bible. In this lesson it becomes a book on so- cial etiquette. Some man thought to get credit for himself by inviting Jesus to a feast, since He at that time was the news headliner in that part of the world. Jesus is always studying us, even as He observed the scramble for the seats of dls- tinction around that table. The people of the Far East follow liter ally what Jesus advised as fitting. An invited guest will not take the seat of honor which he knows will be assigned to him but takes the place nearest the door. Further admonition was given when any host was urged to be a real philanthropist in sending out his invitations and not a mere so cial climber who wants a return in vitation. There are multitudes of worthy poor who are hungry; these should be asked to come to the ta ble of bounty. Constantly the Bible Is presenting a choice social stand ard that mankind will be blessed In following. Children are given their chance only where the principles of the Gospel are in practice. Contrast child life In any land where the Sunday School is but little known with that in which the Bible School is making Its greatest advance, When mothers brought their little ones to the Kindly Man that He might give them His blessing even the disciple barred the way until the command was uttered 'Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such Is the kingdom of God." Christianity alms to stop the ex plotting of children that their best Interest may be safeguarded, for the boys and girls of today become the men and women of tomorrow. The alternative Easter Lesson. Is based on I Corinthians 15:1-8; 60-58. t Tor SOON fKl STAT tn f hardly be noticeable, but there should be, and probably Is, a great difference between 1931 and 1831. By 1971, when the Weather Bureau has been functioning for 100 years, there may be a very interesting set of facts available to indicate that our great-great-grandchildren may grow oranges in Michigan and go swimming In Lake Superior in Jan uary. EMPLOYMENT SITUATION IMPROVES (Autocaster Service) THERE were more men employed in January than there were in December, and still more in Febru ary than in January, the U. S. De partment of Labor reports. The in crease in payroll totals for Febru ary was 7H per cent That is encouraging news of the first order. It is the first upward trend in the industrial situation since the stock-market crash of Oc tober, 1929. It signifies, it seems to us, that people are getting over their fear of the future and are re alizing that the bottom hadn't ac tually dropped out. To anybody who can remember clearly the conditions under which the average wage-earner worked and lived even thirty years ago, how remote from his life were all of the things which he takes as his natural right as they are today, it is clear that the term "distress" has been used very loosely in the past year or so. In the big cities, where people from all over the country went to get the free food and lodging which the charitable were handing out, there has been more of an appear ance of poverty than in the smaller towns and the country districts. And, of course, there has been and still is a great deal of financial em barrassment among those who have been out of work. But outside of the drought-stricken regions we have heard of few cases where men habitually industrious and sober have had to turn beggars to keep their families from starving. On the other hand, we know of many persons who have not had regular work for a year or more who still have their telephones and electric lights, their radios and phonographs and who are still able to go to a movie once in a while. A good many of them are still running their cars. Times have been hard, beyond doubt, but they were not so hard as many people imagined nor did they affect so many as some agita tors would like to have us believe. And they are definitely getting bet ter now. WHAT THE IS COMING NEXT? Idaho Falls Times-Register. An Oklahoma newspaper is re sponsible for the story that a bank teller in one of the Sooner state's small cities received the following letter from one of its customers: I wish to inform you that the present condition of my bank ac count makes it impossible for me to send you a check in response to your request. My present financial condition is due to the effect of federal laws, state laws, county laws, corporation laws, bylaws, brother-in-laws, and outlaws, that have been fostered upon an unsuspecting public. Thru these various laws I have been held down, held up, walked on, at on, flattened and squeezed until I do not know where I am, what I am or why I am. "These laws compel me to pay a merchant's tax, capital stock tax, excess tax, income tax, real estate tax, property tax, auto tax, gas tax, water tax, light tax, street tax, school tax, syntax and carpet tax. In addition tothe taxes I am re quested and required to contribute to every society and organization that the inventive mind of man can organize. To the Society of St. John, The Woman s Relief, Navy League, the Children s home, the Police man's Benefit, the Dorcas Society, the Y. M. C. A., the Boy Scouts, the Jewish Relief, the Near East, the Gold Diggers' Home, also every hos pital and every charitable institu tion in town. The Red Cross, Black Cross, the White Cross, the Double Cross and the Purple Cross. "The government has so governed my business that I do not know who owns It.

The family physician should, above all things, be a normal man. He has, it seems to me, opportunity to make his influence felt in many ways, not inconsistent with the practice of medicine, to make his youthful patrons better men and women. I am afraid many times the doctor doesn't speak out, in the fear of offending some of his most prominent clients; particularly so it has been in the matter of the dance. So many of our very best pay patients sanction it. Nevertheless, if an act or deed contains a strong element of hidden vice, the physician should be out spoken against it; for no one should know better than he, the damage often done by indulgence in things that are pleasing, but hold danger ous poison. In this letter, I shall fortify my self behind known authorities; I shall confine myself to opinions of other men, rather than assume any dictatorship on my own part. have no desire to attain a point of notoriety in this matter of grave concern, but I may say that I en provide an inexhaustible supply of money for every known need, de sire or hope of the human race, and because I refuse to donate to all and go out and beg, borrow anft steal money to give away, I am cussed, discussed, boycotted, talked to, talk ed about, lied to, lied about, held up, held down, and robbed, until I am nearly ruined, so the only reason I am clinging to life is to see what the hell is coming next." HARDMAN SCHOOL UPHELD. To the Editor: In view of the fact that some citi zen has taken It upon himself to criticize the Hardman school, I wish to state that he was either mis informed, or wished to mislead the public. The first criticism seems to be that the teachers were devoting in V TRiEP OUT IF HE WHILS h Beneficiaries u ra; 1 .f.v.wr..u.i iuwtf a, v . v xv i FAMDOf dorse the authorities quoted. Dancing and purity are not in compatible there are too many proofs of that, to be denied; but, in these scurrying days, a warning is not out of place, it seems to me. So, here they are: 'Those churches in recent times which resolutely set themselves against the pastime are wiser in their generation than is commonly supposed." 'ALL dancing excites the passions those modern creations known as glides, two-steps, waltzes, and rag time patter . . . have as their ulti mate tendency, the breaking down of religious restraint, and the free exercise of sexual liberty. ..." Mind you this is not propaganda it is medically recorded as scien tific fact. It would not be printable here, the history of the dance as in dulged in by races of men from time immemorial; the early Albigenses of Langudeoc, called dnacing "the devil's procession." I could quote from many volumes here space forbids; let me say, concluding, that there are many forms of exercise for our young peoples' health. This without prejudice. sufficient time to the school. Hav ing been a resident of Hardman for many years, I am in a position to state that it is not the practice of the community to visit the school with the exception perhaps of one or two parties and I am sure that this past year has been no excep tion. So it would be impossible for anyone to state directly that inade quate time was devoted. This school has been; under the same adminsl- tration for the past three years and I wish to call attention to the fact that there have been no failures in the state Eighth Grade examina tions. All the pupils have passed with a very high average. Were these accusations true, such an ex cellent record could not have been made. The second grievance was that of obscen elnnguage. Such a thing is ( DAD 5PANK.tD BECAUSE AN EXPERIMENT I LIKE TO 566 THE TALL THE SEAL AMP KANGAROO AND ALL THB FRteNPLV ANIMALS THAT GATHER AT THB XOO By Albert 7. Reul thanks for. the Bonus.

No children have been removed from this district because of dissat isfaction. Where children have been withdrawn, it has been within the convenience and satisfaction of the parties concerned. It is the practice of a number of the Hardman citizens to criticize the school. It is these same per sons who make it impossible for any teacher to be a community worker That is, to work for the good of the community and not its various di visions and clans. The very teach ers who have received the greatest condemnation on the part of these citizens, have gone elsewhere In the county and state and met with de cided success. I would say that a three-year record in Hardman with all the problems there are to be met is the greatest recommendation a teacher can earn. A PATRON AND TAXPAYER. Broadcasts Over K 0 A C Complete Weekly Programs Prepared for Homemakers Oregon women who listen to the Homemaker hour over KOAC, the Oregon State college station, from 2:30 to 3:30 o'clock daily will find that during each week almost ev ery phase of homemaking is touch ed upon by specialists in each field, according to Aunt Sammy and Cou sin Jane.
