While we are speculating about the possible causes of dry weather In our own region, we may note, for whatever It may signify, that In England they are giving serious thought to problems caused by foiling of the water levels in streams, a phenomenon that has been developing for a couple of years now. That way be mere coincidence, but on the other hand It may suggest that conditions affecting a fur wider area than Jnst our group of a half dozen dozen states are at work. It may be that the areas which now seem to be particularly wet, not dry, such as some parts of the East," are the exceptions, and that either the whole world or at least the northern hemisphere is In the dry phase of a long time cycle. Everybody now knows, of course, that radical climatic changes do take place. That the Ice caps at the poles have advanced and retreated Is proven by the evidence of our hills and valleys and lakes and soil. Even some of the ancients surmised that there had lietu great climatic changes in Europe, by wliicn the cold in central and northern Europe had great ly moderated. But these changes come over such long periods as to mean nothing to any single generation of men. Whether there really are definite cycles, subject eventually to measurement, whereby weather conditions vary within a relatively brief period of years says a Aft pen-ye- a to dry cycle or a forty-yea- r wet to dry cycle It not yet known.

Glowing "I thought Utopia was Just myth." -- Isnt TE Fourth of July has occupied sn honored place on our cslendar for s long time, and the temptation i grows to regard It as a perfunctory gesture In honor of an ancient deed. Yet there was never greater need of realizing how dependent those old victories are upon present-da- y courage. The battle to preserve the freedom won in revolution Is a battle that never ends. In observing Independence day we are celebrating an occasion which has far more than the picturesque significance of a venerable antique. It can and should remind us of with what difficulty and suffering our freedom was tint obtained and of how constantly It has been endangered both by domestic and by foreign foes.

In domestic affairs restrictions upon personal freedom have grown to a dangerous height In foreign fields we are still Inclined to assume that because we have a primary material Interest as well as a strong moral belief In peace as a guarantor of freedom the Interests and tha morality of others impel them along the same path. With a modesty which would be commendable under other circumstances, many of ns underestimate the Importance of America to civilization and the need for a national Insurance equivalent to all that wo have at stake In the continued maintenance of peace. The Fourth of July Is a valuable occasion. Indeed, If It carries our minds through the War of the Revolution, the Civil war and the wars or near-war- s which ws have had with Great Britain, France, Germany and Spain.
