"will not be controlled by sun-spot activity" and adds, "it is as reasonable _ to forecast a mild winter as a severe wmter in 1924-25." In his analysis Mr. \Vard discloses that there were radically different tel_llperatures in 1920 with ] anuary perSIStently cold and February normal except as to snowfall which, with the exception of 1877, was the least in fift~ years. 1921, he adds, was the warmest m fifty years while, if there is a Jaw of averages 1922 should have been very cold but ~s a matter of fact in the Chicago district it was warmer and drier than the a\·erage, with few severe storms. There were violent storms, extremely cold weather and heavy precipitation the winter of 1923-24. Recent months of 1924, Mr. Ward say , have shown an accumu-1 lated deficiency of temperature, at the end of September. o f 741 degrees. "Miany tables o f statistics can be submitted to prove that long-range forecasts arc not reliable," concludes the Northwestern professor. "Most certainly they disprove the reliability of the socalled law of a verages in weather matters."

As an obligation of citizenship, every man and woman of lawful age should cast a ballot Tuesday, November 4. Men and women who lmow American institutions vote for a party, and not for individuals. In America the party governs. For sixty-eight years either the Republican party or the Democratic party has been in power at Washington and at Springfield. Either the ~epublican party or the Democratic party will be in authority at Washington and at Springfield for the coming four years. Upon the party records, as written into the history of America, the Republican party organization believes voters of Illinois should OBSERVE GOLDEN RULE DAY HERE DECEMBER 3 All throughout the State of lllinois on Sunday, December 7, thousands of men, women and children familiar with the ptight of the unfortunate wards of the Near East Relief in the Bible Lands , will, at one meal at least, paJ1ake of fare similar to that eaten by the little ones for whom they have been giving their dollars in past years. The occasion is the second annual observance of International Golden Rule Day inaugurated in Geneva, Switzerland, last year when representatives of twen· ty-three countries in the League of Na· tions evolved a plan of bringing home to their own people the urgency of continuing aid to the orphans and war refugees in Asia Minor. At the first Golden Rule Dinner oh ervcd in Geneva, the delegates partook of a duplicate of a dinner served in one of the Near East Relief orphanages in Persia. So forcefully was the admonition, "Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do yc even so unto them," brought home, that its spiritual effect was felt throughout the world. Each delegate recommended to his mother nation that a Golden Rule Day should be obeervecl yeady. Although tl'le United States is not a member of the l,eague, observers from this country who attended the Geneva affair were so impressed that a similar observance was inaugurated in this country. The first of the Golden Rule dinners this year was held in New York City, September 25, when 1,280 representative business men and women of the Eastern metropolis gathered at the Hotel Roosevelt and in the magnificent dining hall ate soup, macaroni, stewed apricots and brown bread-just as did a million and a half orphans under the care of .Near East Relief on that arne day.
