Tha dought that .has visited the wst for the past three or four years is temporary. The west, next year or at latest the year after, will receive again its accustomed quota of moisture. Scienct has definitely established this fact. V It hieans: ' " ' That tentative plans of municipal and private hydro-electric concerns con-cerns to Invest millions in steam plants may be abandoned. That cities need not spend huge sums In tapping and developing new sources of water supply, other than to take care of normal grOWtb. ;'-:-; ; When science started to probe the cause of recent dry -years it was confronted by this problem; Was the west getting less rain than formerly on. a -continuously descending curve TIrt other words, would Jt continue to get less each year? . Or was the drouth merely part of a cycle of wet and dry periods? How to find out, deflntely, became be-came a puzzle. Weather records go back only a comparatively few years. The cycle might extend over a century. . - Now, nature keeps a weather record, absolutely accurate, by means of tree-rings. So the hunt started for the oldest tree in the northwest. Finally, near here, William B. Severyns, chief of the Seattle water department; discovered dis-covered a yellow fir more than 900 years old. This fir, the only one left in the logged-off area, was sacrificed. Sections of it, showing the annual rings, were turned over to experts. They discovered that every hun- ' f . , ; - - -J e v :: -:-.-.-v.- C ' William II. Severyns, water chief, whose . investigations proved the weather cycle theory. dred years for the past 300 there comes a cycle of three or four dry years. The dry years are - recorded, by thin rings of growth; the wet years by thicker rings. It is possible to tell, with great accuracy, how much rain fell in any given year. The tree-section shows that there was a dry cycle about 1826; . another an-other about 1725 and so on, back to the. year 1000 A. D., when the tree started growing. v And so hydro-electric .concerns have stopped -.worrying about "the west drying up." Plans for steam plants are' being shelved and water departments are confident that normally-wet years will return soon. Joseph S.

Fred Kohler and Regis : Toomey. Richard Arlen plays the role of the likable, two-fisted cow-puncher,' Dick Bailey. ' Interpreting, his role with evident sincerity, Arlen contributes what is easily his outstanding out-standing .performance since his memorable characterization in "Wings." And Mary Brian, that charming actress .who recently 'has been seen in several delightful roles, is cast as Ruth Hammond, in eastern girl whdeomes west to run her brother's ranch which the blundering, well-meaning cowboy attempts to win her heat, culminating culmin-ating in his desperate and courageous cour-ageous rescut of Ruth from the honds of a gang of outlaws, brings ier himself. Cast as a cowboy peddler with a penchant for quoting quot-ing fables, the stories of which he confuses in the most- hilarious manner imaginable, Harry - Green is a riot of fun from the opening sefjuence to the final fadeout. 'Added features include "The Master Sweeper," comedy; special Mother's - day subject,; a . screen song cartoon, and latest Paramount Para-mount sound news.; . .
