If the comic spirit sits up aloft in the Senate gallery these days, he nust find much better merriment. It is not simply revenges that the whirligig of two years has brought round but many whimsical contra- dictions and reversals. The pursuer of ig20 hag become the pursued of 1922 and any one following the sen ate debates on the Washington trea ties will observe " mcTe than one en gineer deliciously hoist by his own notnvd. There is something pathetic as well as ludicrous in the way in which Republican senators are now forced to praise in a Republican President what they savagely condemned in a Democratic President. Senator Lodge makes a brave show of indignation when he resents inquires into the fnnf.nnwpr treatv. He pi'otests that, hf diplomats are to be trailed by a stenographer in every coniidentiai conference, there will be an end of honorable dealing between nations sureiy a subject lor tne satirise.

What has become of the blizzards of North Dakotas' the white tigers which roared across the prairies in the eighties, freezing wanderers, cattle and horses? They have gone, old time resi dents say, like the wild Indian and the cowboy. The winters are milder and the storms' "have not got got the pep they used to have." Whether men disagree with this saying that there is no definite change in climate, year by year. If the winters have been milder for a few years it is" a matter of change. Weather bureau figures bear out the "old timers" however. Recent winters have been milder in tempera ture, and have had less wind and snow and rain than the winters of the eighties, according to date com plied from figures given out by R. E. Spencer, in charge of the Moorehead, Minn., United States weather bureau. These figures are for the winters of the .decade of 18S1-82 to 1890-91 representing the early days as op posed to the winters of 1910-11 to 1919-20. Five months of each year are considered November, Decem ber, January, February, and March. They show that the average tempera ture for the winters of the earlier decade was 11.78 degrees above zero while the last decade was 15.98; precipitation, formerly .803 inches monthly recently, .G53 monthly; wind velocity averaged 10.37 miles per hour in the olden days and only 9.13 miles per hour during the last ten years. Weather experts agree that such changes are due largely to change, "said Mr. Spencer. "People remem ber the worst blizzards they ever en countered and forget the milder ones. Thus every blizzard which comes along has to bear comparison with the worst blizzard of a life time or : with a rather enlarged memory of it."

Vocational edu cation that really educates and state unity of control in education were emphasized as essentials of state school work by Ernest W. Butte r ield, Commissioner of education o New Hampshire, before the nationa': council of state departments of edu cation in session here today. Some advocates o'f vocational training, according to Mr. Butter field, erroneously interpret it along trade school lines. Too much shor work at school, he said, leaves little time for American culture, giving ; vocational "education that "fails tc educate." Centralized state control of edu cation is necessary, said Mr. But- terfield, if fullest efficiency is to-be obtained. Each state, he said, should have u single board of control and a single responsible officer of admin istration. The state board should hi at the same time a state boarJ of vocation education board of classical education and board of any other form of education which has state a-i proval. Similarly, he added, the super intendent of public instruction shouT be the director and administrative head of public education in all forms Another reason he pave for a united state organization is "to red'uee the overhead charge which comes frorr duality."

SEEK LOWER RATES ON PRINT PAPER RESUMES IDE IS URGED TI ED AFTER SWELL (BY MAX ABERN-ETHY) Raleigh ( Feb. 27. Commissioner Stacy W. Wade of the state de partment of insurance has revised the story that he would urge Gov ernor Morrison to impeach the Da vidson authorities for failure to ap prehend Baxter Shemwell, but he does not deny that he has been appealed to by alleged purchasers ofl stock in Shemwell's adding macnine corporation; u.J the story as re vised, stands. North Carolinians who claimed they were mulcted by Shemwell sev eral years ago when they bought heavily in adding machine stock wrote the insurance commissioner and begged for help. The letters came to Raleigh last week and Com missioner Wade's reply is a matter of record for the d oubting Thomases to ponder over. He told the world that he would "do everything in his power" as a state official to aid in the fight, and copies of his letter are on file in the archives of the In surance Department here. There can be no denial of this fact. But the commissioner will not urge impeachment of the Davidson county authorities, at tjhis time, amyw&y. The matter is now in the Federal courts, or will be if the government agents can bring Shemwell into rourt. Shemwell is now making his home in Ashev?lle. The charges against him are returnable in Fed eral court at Greensboro. The adding machine stock Shem we!1 is charged with offering Qnd se'ling at first was of a "foreign corporation and the insurance de partment put a stop to it because t hey could not license such compan ies. When Shemwell was advised of th-"s he reorganized his company and a charter was issued by Secre tary of State J. Bryan Grimes, making it a domestic corporation. The records are on file as to this ilso. And Shemwell sold the stock under North Carolina's blue sky law. Buyers were easily found but they are contending that Shemwety "broke" the company and they want their money back. The letters of complained are also on file in Com miss oner Wade's office and can be examined. COlPTETflRK ON TWO MORE TREATIES By the Associated Pres3. Washington Feb. 27.
