Hardest Winter in Years, Prediction for United States Chicago In gentii,; a foretaste of tho liaiil winter the experts arc pmllc Mv mi , a ulhV park. ting, as tlio photo allows. Sceno In By JOHV T. LEWING, Jr. Crntntl Pros Corrosiwmleiit. WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. The hard est winter In years Is the forecast for the United States, particularly the northern half. There really will be weather to talk about. A drop In the temperaturo of the oeeun, due to a decline In solar radia tion, is the basis for the prediction of experts. Not only Is a hard winter predicted, but it is declared that nevt summer will be the shortest and chilliest since 1816. One of the experts taking a definite stand to- this effect is Coindr. George F, Brandt, -U. H. navy hydrographer. Comdr. ilrandt believes that the tem perature of the sea Influences local climatic changes and that these are modified by changes in the sun's heat. Solar ltadiutioii el How Normal Solar radiation in 1922, 1923 and 1924 was below normal und, ns tho heat In these years determined the oceanic temperatures for the years 1325, 1920 and 1927, tho climates In those years will be correspondingly modified. Householders without their usual supplies of coal, bankers, brokers and bootleKKors arranging the schedules of their Florida and California outings, farmers considering their next year's crops, are all wondering If the long distance weather prophets are to be relied on. In the present state of science no one can answer with as surance. Nevertheless, It Is well established that variations' In normal weather constantly are not mere matters of chance and that there is a cyclic movement originating In the cosmos beyond our planet. Nevertheless, it la well established taht variations In normal weather constancy aro not mere matters of chance and that there is a cyclic movement originating in the cosmos beyond our planet. Contrary to popular belief, the past weather histories of days, weeks, months and years is of no value for predicting future conditions, weath ermen say. The accurate considera tion of future weather conditions must depend upon an exact study of atmospheric presures over great areas and a determination of the solar phe nomena which are responsible for the abnormalities In the earthy ntmos pheiio changes. What Is needed to promote accu rate forecasts, they aver. Is a world enHrcling chain of observation sta tions to show the diurnal changes In the barometric Isobars, or lines on the ma pwhlch connect nil points of the barometric readings corrected for the height of the observer above the sea level, and the direction of the winds. the moisture of the air, cloudiness and similar data. , , Air Oirronls Important In the northern hemisphere. It Is explained, the weather conditions nor mally result from reactions caused by the collisions of two air streams flow ing from the equator to the north polo and from the pole to the equator. These streams flow continuously, day and night, In a regular circle, and meet In places along a shifting front In the temperate zones and give rlH to our weather changes. The polar gigantic and powerful circulatory cor air Is cold and that form the equator rent and Is the most Important of our is worm. The warm air promotes this basic weather factors. E DAMAGE SUIT IS The civil action of I. K. Schuler against W. J. Fredenburg for $500 damages, via injunction proceedings, and a counter-suit by Fredenburg for $74 1.1 0 damages. Is being heard in the circuit court today and will be given to the jury this afternoon. The testimony asserts that Schuler gave Fredenburg a verbal contract for excavating the basement of the apartment house now under con struction at Sixth and Onkdale streets and that It was annulled when Fre denburg Is .alleged to have failed to start work when he agreed. Schuler then hired another crew of excava tors. In the meantime, Fredenburg appeared with men and equipment an an injunction was asked to keep him from doing tho work, after which It Is alleged he refused to stop. Both-then took legal action against the other. The testimony and evi dence is highly .com plicated y Fredenburg In defense alleges that the delay was due to failure to re move old houses, then on the prem ises. The plaintiff maintains that after watting a reasonable length of time ho hired another. Tho defense Is represented by At torney W. E. Phlpps, and the plaintiff by Newbury and Newbury.
