Awards Prize of
ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS for Her
Best Last Line
A pltotoRTnpli of the Jury of employes
bf tlio Fleisher yarn mill who made to- '
day's award will bo found on the b.tck
pace. I
Well, nil that New Year' stuff i
over and done with tor another twelve
months, ho let'n get back to normal.
That is, as nearly normal as a lim
crickcr can be.
And, us the most cheerful thing to
start the new jeai with, we wih exery
fan could hnvo gone down with us to
the big yarn mills of the S. U. & It.
W. Fleisher Co., at Twenty-sixth and
Reed streets, to watch that jury of girls
voting on the winner of hmeriik No.
13.
No hoodoo about that number l.'t.
Not fe'fnr ns wo'ro concerned. And
the girls who did the oting convinced
another girl that it's a mighty luckv
number, for they presented her with
ONE? HUNDRED DOLLARS and did
It without even knowing it v. us a girl
they were voting for. The winner i :
MLss Pearl Dunlop, Molan, Rose
Valley, Delaware county. 1'a.
The balloting was done by the method
that has proved so successful in each
case so far and thnt mukes it impossible
for the member of the jury to know
anything about tho writer of the lines
they are called upon to judge.
The ten best completed limericks xe"-o
printed on slips of paper and passed
around ajnong the jury, Knch limerick
was numbered and the voting wa by
numbers entlrel. The wiuning lim
erick, as completed by Mi. Dunlop,
follows :
Sad Sammy turvcyrd An fnf cent
And mid, "I'm not broke, but I'm
bent;
I gave presents to many
Hut I didn't get any :
I knead dough, but doughnut re
pent." It was quite a hard proposition tint
the judges faced in this contest. This
was because the lines were of unusual
excellence and any one of the ten would
have been a satisfactory prize winner.
On tho very first -ballot, however,
MIbs Dunlop's line received eight out of
tno eleven votes and mat semen it.
The other lines and their writers
were:
I'm a Kris-Santu-nuim with a scent
Harry C. (Jodshalk, American House,

Weatherman Says Mean Tem
perature Hasn't Changed in
Thousands of Years
FLORA AND FAUNA PROVE IT
Animals and plant, life prove (hat
there has been no considerable change
in weather in thousands of years, said
(ieorge W. Mindllug. meteorologist and
first assistant of the United State
weather bureau In this city, in tli
Hissing the present mild temperature
today.
iAtnuition mane in t-outnern i.u-
ropc, salil .Mr. .Minuiltig, snow mat in
100.0 0 ears tlie fauna und tiora ot
that part of the world are the same as
toilnv.
"Observation of meteorologists all
over the world," lie went on, "show
that within the historic period, thnt l
within the lnt 1(100 or 5000 years, we
have had precisely the same uniiniil and
plant life in n gicn section us we nne
today. Thi is legnrded as conclusive
proof by meteorologists that the tem
peniture hn remained in the mean
prai ti. 'ill nt a standstill.
"Thi serves to bear out observation
mnile bv geologists in the last two cen
turies that the mean temperature eacii
century does not vary progressively a
half degree, or, in other word, that the
change in temperature over those peri
od 1 practically negligible.
Winters Not Rccomlng Wanner
"Tlii would serve to demonstrate
that such weather as we have been hav
ing lately does not justify the popular
belief that our winters are gradually
becoming warmer. The abnormally warm
weather of the last month or s.o, for
instance, has been caused, as it usually
i. by the relative positions of tlie high
and low barometric areas in the coun
try, thnt i. area in which the atmos
pheric pressure is low. Thus for some
time j nst we have had a succession nt
such low nrens in the northwestern part
of the country, which have in turn been
influenced by a more or les perma
nent low area in the northern Pacific
ocean. At the iunc time we have had a
high urea in the southeastern portion
of tlie countiy.
"Tlie significance of these nren thus
located, to tin layman, arise from the
fact that the wind blows from high to
low area, so :m ordingly during tin
period, we hne had largely soutln riy
wind, which uie warm one, gently
blowing ocr the lounlry, thu elimi
nating the i ignis of winter weather at
tins time of the year.
"Indications point to a continua
tion of this Kind ot weather for a weik
at least, ami it is ipiite possible that it
nuiv lat a month. On the other hand,
it is not nt all impossible to have yet
the most scfre winter we.ithir we have
oer experienced.
"The weather during the last month
ha been quite unusual, without being
record-breaking. It ha run on un
inerage of from -r. to 20 degrees above
normal. Tin mean annual lenipciature
of this lily, for instance, i ."t degrees
and the December average wa ."ill. de
cree 'Sisteiday. tlie warmest day of
tin- new M-ir, the bighe-i tunperatuie
was 01 (l'gtecs. the third highest in tlie
history of the bureau for that date.
Unusual Weather Out U. S.
"All pint "f the cnuntrv and Canada
are shilling the present unusual
weather. For instance we haw had
the apparent unmanly of huUiuj thi
cltv. not to mention point a far north
anil west as Calgary, Can., warmer at
times than some southern points. In
the northwestern parts of the con
tinent, tlie temperature ha lately been
running a good 20 degrees above normal,
7ii-o ui-.-nher usually the order of the
day nt many points being conspicuous by
,n ni.. ene.. This i significant in that
nil eold snells make their presence fi It
coming from these .sections lo here.
"The last month a far a rainfall is
conn-rued has been one of the wettest
month in the lat few years, a precipl
union of 4.00 inibe being noted. There
lias also been les sunshine than in sonic
other ears, only .10 m-r n'nt being oh
s. red" dining the l"vt month.
"The vagaries of the weather ine

this winter and the one of two yeais

Would Keep U. S. in business
It is highly probable tluil tlie most
immediate nnd conspicuous effect of
the resumption eif the corporation's
netixities would he an effort on the
part of exporters to shift the financ
ing of their operations from ordinary
commercial channels to the govern
ment. This would he unfortunate It
would continue the go eminent as an
a. tive factor in ordinary business
operations.
If activities of any considerable
magnitude iesulte.1 they would i e-
sitate the imposition of additional
tuxes or further boriowing. either
through the war finance eoipointion
or by the tieiisiiry. In either eac new
burdens would be laid upon all the
people, l'uitlier borrowing would in
nil likelihood tap the xery souiccs
wliii'h might otherwise be available
for private npeiatinns eir which the
treasury is now compelled to reach to
meet i urrent obligation of the gov
ernment. There is no question that the bor
rowing of the goci anient should be
limited to the minimum reipiiieiuents,
and that the government should not
be I'lilleil upon further to finance pri
xate business nt public expense. To
the extent thnt Europe 1 aide to fur

financial institutions hcte will doubt

FRAME BILL 10 HI!
E
Phlln. Legislators "Urged
Press Statutes' to Keep
Houso Costs Down
to
LIKE NEW YORK STATUTE
A hill aimed to prevent profiteering
and unreasonable opecitlntlon In real
etnte will be one of the first measures
Introduced nt the coming session of the
Legislature.
Representative Jntncn A. Dunn, of
the Twenty-third ward, chairman of
the Philadelphia delegation, made n
statement to this effect today, before
his departure for Harrlsbitrg.
In view of the fact that many prop
erty owners hnvo notified tennnta of
nn increase in rent effective this month,
the proposed legislation is timely.
.Mr. Dunn snid that the Philadelphia
members of the House realize the ne
cessity of some definite action regard
ing tlio rent question, and have de
cided to do nil in their power tn put
n stop to the prnctlec at landlords who
demand exorbitant rentals.
"There probably xvlll be two or three
measures introduced covering this ques
tion," Mr. Dunn snid. "Tlio bill, aimed
to prevent unreasonable increases in
rent, will be based largely on fclmllar
measures enacted in other states.
"The best features of ninny of these
bills will lie incorporated in tlie bill to
be introduced in tlie House."
Representative Dunn, as xvcll as other
members of the House, strongly favors
a measure similar to that ennctcel by the
LcL'lslnturo of New York, making it
unlawful for any owner of property to
increase rents more than 2.j per cent.
Mauy of tho local members of the
House sny that they hud received nu
merous appeals from residents in their
sections limine thrtn to take sonic
eletinlte action which would curb the
practice of landlords who arc demand
in? excessive rentals.
Several member. of the House say
that lucrenes in rent of from .1." to
10 per cent were made in various sec
tions of the cltv since the first of the
yenr.
In view of the fact thnt most of the
necessities of life lire being reduced and
wages aie being reduced ns well, sev
eral members of the local delegation ns
sort eel they xxill use their utmot efforts
to bring abntit conditions! more nearly
normal in the general Mousing situa
tion. Cltv Council will keep in close touch
with nil legislation in Hnrrlburg elTeet
ing Philadelphia, Richard Wegleln,
president of Council, said today.
Mr. Weglrin said he would nsk
Councilman Develin. chairman of the
committee on law and municipal gov
ernment, to call n meeting during the
next two weeks nnd discus just what
the committee desires In the way of
state legislation.
After this has been done, Mr. Weg
leln said, lie will invite various legis
Intivo committees of the Senntc and
liouse, who consider such bills, to come

Danderas Bay
Sah. Diego, Cnllf., Jan. .1. (Ry A.
P.) A day of rest for the crews and
minor repnlrn for tho planes wns ahead
of the U-5-L section of the navy's San
Dlego-Pnnama aerial expedition nt Ran
doms hay on the mniulnnd of Mexico
today. However, it wns thought likely
the NC sections, planes C nnd 0, which
wero nt Mngdalena bay on the eons't of
Lower Callfomln yesterday, might at
tempt todny to fly on to Rnnderns boy,
where the twelve lighter craft arrived
last Saturday.
The E-fi-L craft have covered about
n third of the southward flight with n
tlcrfect record. The "hop" made by the
NC-5 fnjm Snn Dlcgo to Magdelenn
bay, 702 miles, without n htop, leads
nnvnl officers here to feel confident,
however, thnt the NC planes xvlll over
take the K-fi-L section and llnish tho
flight on time
The New Yenr's Day flight of the
E-fi-L's covered thn southern stretch
of the Gulf of California. The next
stage xvlll be south along the Mexican
coast to Aeapulco, n distance of -K10
miles.
