Throughout the week starving British coal miners were cheered by but one fact, the stupendous response of the British public to a radio appeal made by Edward of Wales, on Christmas Day, for contributions to relieve the miners.* Since His Royal Highness spoke more than ?320,000 ($1,555,000) directly elicited by his words has poured in. For every pound Sterling contributed the Treasury stands pledged by Parliament to contribute a matching pound. Even with all this stop-gap and state charity, however, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin seems impotent to devise a constructive scheme which will really stem...
Crackling radio dots and dashes from Kabul told finally, last week, why no messages had flashed for the past fortnight, gave gory details of King Amanullah's fierce fight with the rebellious, besieging Shinwaris...
...study of the graphs further shows that a rather definite fifteen month period in solar activity exists as exhibited by both spots and radio reception. This is one of the outstanding results of the investigation to date. Each of these sunspot sub-maxima have indicated increasing solar activity and it does not yet appear possible to state that we have reached the real maximum of the sunspot cycle until the sun peak of 1929 is reached and passed. The intensity of that peak will doubtless decide whether or not the maximum of the present sunspot cycle is reached...
Some progress has been made in the correlation of temperature changes with radio reception and while concomitant variation markedly exists it is doubtful if the relation is one of cause and effect. It seems far more plausible that changes in solar activity are more directly responsible for variations in the signal strengths received than that such should be dependent upon any absolute value in atmosphere temperature...
...view of the fifteen months period of maxima and minima which appears to be definitely located both in the sunspot and radio curve, we may look for another maximum of solar activity in September or October...
