...Weather Bureau men last week compiled their July reports, declared the month was hotter and dryer over a larger area for longer periods than any other July in recorded U. S. weather history. The drought came too late to affect the wheat crop but it did, according to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, "much irreparable damage" to corn. Live stock, lacking pasturage and water, was rushed to slaughter houses before it died. The Farm Board prepared plans for "drought loans" to carry husbandmen over until next year...
Last week it was 110° in the wheat fields of Kansas and Iowa. Politically it was even hotter as wheat prices slumped to the lowest level in 17 years, 60¢ per bu. locally, 86¢ at Chicago. To escape a brassy sun harvesters worked by moonlight. By day, horses heaved and died by the score. The grain turned white, the ground cracked open. But the threat of a burned crop and reduced production was not sufficient to revive wilting prices...
...admit in an official communique last week that the conduct of two platoons of the second battalion of the 18th Royal Garswal Rifles at Peshawar recently was "unsatisfactory"-that is, these Hindu troops disobeyed their British commander's order to fire on a Hindu mob. With unrest seething hotter and hotter all over India it was no mean proof of Baron Irwin's iron nerve and fitness for the post of Viceroy that the saintnapping was accomplished with such masterly finesse...
Recent and as yet unpublished studies of a star cloud in Aquila show that practically all the stars are of the same type as the sun--a very unusual circumstance, since Milky Way stars elsewhere have mainly been of the hotter classes. It is unknown whether this anomalous result, which involves tens of thousands of stars, means that we have here a star cloud of dwarfs like the sun, or if it means that we are dealing with a peculiar assemblage of yellowish giant stars at a special stage in the evolution of a stellar system...
...workout, various backfields were sent into action while the coaches attempted to get a more definite line on the prospective Harvard ball carriers. The first quartet to take the field was composed of Charles Devens, T. W. Gilligan, and Harper, with Wood as signal-caller. Mason, Mays, and hotter respectively were then sent in as substitutes for the first of these three. Two more combinations, on which most of the other candidates working out under backfield Coach Casey played, were also sent into action, but so bewildering was the series of substitutions that no definite information could be gleaned...
