Cooling of Sun May Result in Glacial Period Scientists Startled Over Proof That Earth Receives Less Heat IVow Than 15 Months Ago. By OKORtiE F. AL'TIUER. Washington Correspondent The Omaha Bee Washington. April ,10. — Govern ment scientists, including the heads of the United States weather bureau, have been thoroughly startled by re sults of examinations made of the sun's world heating capacity, made h.v Dr. C. G Abbot, home secretary of the National Academy of Seien cies. According to Ur. Abbot, the sun ap pears to have gone on strike, and Is exerting its warming qualities updn the earth to an extent 3 per cent less than 15 months ago. This unusual action on the part of the sun is as sumed to he responsible for tile pres ent late spring, may have had its in fluence upon the strange winter sea son just passed and may presage a damagingly cold summer and an in tensely severe seaspn next winter. Scientists See in the present situa tion a duplication of the disastrous summer of 181 i> when frosts oecurred during the summer, causing whole sale loss of crops and tjedueing food prodttafion to a minimum. Whatever may be the cause of the decision of the sun to reduce its heating effect, no one Is prepared to say when the present conditions may return to nor mal and further increases in the cool ing-off process are possible. Weatehr Iturrau Officials Mum. Weather bureau officials refused to commit themselves on the star’ling [ statement made by Dr. Abbot before the recent meeting of the Academy of ! Sciences, saying the experiments up on which Dr. Abbot bases his con clusion* are so new that it is impos sible to determine their value in antic ipating weather conditions for long periods in advance. All admit, how ever, that if ,the experiments should be demonstrated as correct over long periods of time, it would revolutionize methods of weather forecasts and •nake possible predictions many years in advance. Dr. Abbot who has succeeded in throwing this bombshell in the ranks >f world scientists, makes no predic ion as to the future, saying the ex- j periments which have resulted in measuring the sun's heat and deter mining that it is 3 per cent below nor i al. says they have been in progress only 20 years and this is a short time in the history of the sun. They were begun by the late Professor Bangley, j 'ormerly head of the Smithsonian ■ nstitution in Washington and con tinued by Dr. Abbot. Makes No Prediction. This scientific iconoclast says it is impossible to predict what would hap pen if the low temperature of the sun continued. He points out that the world is so filled with varying condl ‘ions which affect climatic differ ences, such as clouds, deserts, mon talns, etc., that general "coolness” need not he expected. He merely Igjints out that the last.winter was most unusual and that the present spring is the latest on record. Some scientists have previously offered the opinion that a lowering of the sun s heat 4 degrees for an indefinite pe liod might approach a return to the glacial period. Dr. --Abbot has no opinion on this subject, pointing out that changes in the heat exerted by the sun on the earth recur. While Dr. Abbot is extremely con servative about drawing conclusions fiom his investigations, he describes the drop in average heat from the sun of from 3 to 4 per cent ns "extraor dinary” and that nothing so outstand ing in the way of a change m the lent of the sun bad been observed since measurements were begun in : 1903. All acknowledge the world is facing a strange and unusual situation which will probably right itself but which may have a startling effect upon eli matic conditions during the next 12 months.

Burgess Bedtime Stories Hy THORTON W. BlRtiftSS. Drummer and Mrs. Drummer Talk Thing* Over. Wlien Mr*, says 'ti* so or thus. Don't argue lost you start a fuss —Drummer the Woodpecker. Drummer the Woodpecker and Mrs. Drummer had arrived Just in time to see Mr. Blarksnake coming down the tree in which they had made their new' home. Perhaps you can gue.-s how they felt when, they caught sight of him. By the time* they reached the tree Mr. Blaeksnake was on ttie ground and was gliding away, with Sammy .lay and the other birds fol lowing him and shrieking at the tops of their voices. Drummer and Mrs. Drummer didn't join the other birds. They were too upset. They know as well as if they had been there to see that Mr. Black snake had visited their new house. All the joy which had been theirs when they *had started out to get their dinner after finishing the new house was gone. At first they didn't visit the new house at all. Finally Mrs. Drummer flew over and poked her head inside. Then she flew over to join Drummer on a dead branch. “Of course he's been there," said Drummer mournfully. " h of malaria will caus« constipa tion, instead of constipation le injr their can-a. The fact remains that you seldom have a cold with out constipation, due to general congestion. The only way to avoid colds is to keep up your vitality. You UMially cat h cold in the winter if you are run down. Therefore in cold weatht r exercise more; eat more fatty foods; drink four to six glasses of water a day; keep the bead cool, the feet warm, the bowels open. Y'ou are also less liable to colds if your system is free from the intestinal poisons of constipation, so empty the bowels regularly with a plain vegetable laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
