Changes in Sun Cycles
*
Affect Earth’s Weather
Capacity for Cooperation
The chances are 30,000 to 1 that
weather on the earth pulsates in uni
son with changes on the sun. This
conclusion was reached by Dr. The
odore E. Sterne, lecturer on astro
physics at Harvard university, who
submitted to statistical analysis the
data collected by the Smithsonian
institution stations in various parts
of the earth where the heat of the
sun is being measured in constant
ly maintained observations over a
long period of years.
Dr. Charles G. Abbott, secretary
of the Smithsonian, has announced
as a result of the study of these
observations and weather observa
tions made at the same time, that
there are cycles in the earth’s
weather and that these periodic
changes are due to the variations
in the sun’s heat. He found cycles
with periods of 7, 8, 9.75, 11, 21, 25,
34, 39.5, 46 and 68 months. In the
Harvard analysis Dr. Sterne found
that the magnitudes of the cycles
with periods of 7, 8 and 34 months
were of such a value that they could
be attributed to errors, but that the
magnitudes of the remaining cycles
were so large and the evidence in
favor of their existence so strong
that the odds against them being
due to error are 30,000 to 1, or
higher.
The Smithsonian observations cov
er 15 years. The overall average
shows that the earth receives from
the sun 1.941 calories a square cen
timeter a minute, or about two
horsepower a square meter. The
variation in the sun’s heat stays
within 4 per cent above and below
the average.
is a quality which must be developed more and more in our Ameri
can life. We must learn to live t>gether and work for the common
good.
To protect ourselves against powerful minorities whose aim is to
exploit us for their own selfish gains, the great mass of common
people must learn that in cooperation lies the goal of the greatest
good for the greatest number.
Cooperation is the magic that must insure the retention of our
political freedom, and cooperation is the magic that will gain for us
a measure of economic freedom that we have never known before.
Cooperative enterprises deserve your support.

HERMISTON BAPTIST CHURCH
Grayden D. Loree, Pastor
Our Sunday school is growing in
spite of the summer slump season.
If you are not attending elsewhere
we invite you to meet with us at
10:00 o’clock Sunday morning. Our
topic for the morning worship ser
vice at 11:00 o’clock will be, “Is the
Baptist Church Worth Preserving?"
We firmly believe that God uses the
various evangelical denominations
for His glory.
Sunday evening we have young
people’s meeting at 7.00 o’clock and
Bible study hou£ at_ 8:00 o’clock.
CENTRAL CHURCH OF CHRIST
C. Warner, Pastor
The sermon for Sunday morning
will be, “A Mountain Top Experi

the morning service.
The evening sermon will be, “Sirs,

METHODIST CHURCH
Stearns Cushing, Pastor
After a short absence the regular
services of the Methodist church will
get into full sway once more. The
Epworth Leaguers will have part in
the service Sunday morning to bring
their reports which are very worth
while.
Don’t neglect the Sunday School
hour. In these days of turmoil and
strife it is helpful to review the
struggles of the early Christians and
find their source of strength and
help.
You will find a warm and cordial
welcome among these fine Christian
people. Come and worship with us.
A dog’s nose is about his best
friend if he ever gets lost—even if
he can’t smell his way home, young
David Hoggan of Salt Lake City has
decided.
And his paws keep him in com
parative safety of not missing sup
per, even if he doesn’t know which
direction to take.
Nine-year-old David’s pup Mugs
is smart, but David was forever in
fear that Mugs would get lost, so he
took the pup around to the police
station to give the force a look at
her, just in case.
Sergt. Albert Rogers promptly be
calmed David’s fears and assured
him that all the men on the force
wouldn’t have to see the dog—the
department could identify her any
time she was picked up.
The sergeant took Mugs’ nose-
print and pawprints, and filed the
cards in the increasing collection of
the Salt Lake City “Dog Identifica
tion bureau,” and David took Mugs
home satisfied.
The file is not large enough to
determine whether there is a possi
bility of duplication, but Rogers has
not found two prints alike yet—and
has never failed to return a lost dog
which had been printed.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our deep ap
preciation for the beautiful flowers

black, metal-lined box to absorb
solar heat. A series of metal tubes

heats water circulated through the

box allow the sun’s rays to pass to
the metal lining—and at the same
time imprison most of the heat gen

English Railroading Hazard
Fog, that thick pea soup kind for
which England is noted, interferes
so much with the operation of rail
ways that special means have to be
taken to cope with it. Fog signal
men are placed at important points.
They live near their work and on
their own initiative go to their posts
when fog descends. Or they may
be called from signal boxes. They
use 300,000 detonators, or “torpe
does,” as they are known in Amer
ica. The noisemakers tell the engi
neers the position of the signal hid
den from view by the fog. As an ad
ditional safeguard one railroad has
its own system of automatic train
control. If the line is clear a bell
rings by the engineer's side. If not,
a siren blows and brakes are auto
matically applied. The device is
operated by signal men through an
electric ramp at each caution sig
nal on 2,855 miles of track and 3,259
engines.
