ENGLAND DOES NOT v
, NEED GULF STREAM
London,' Nov. 22. Science has
come forward recently to destroy an
other of man's long cherished illu
sions, but at the same time it has re
moved : a - source of constant anxiety
lo those Who would attempt to un
derstand the causes of climaTic con
ditions. . : ,
M. Danois, the well known hydrol
ogist, who h&s made a special study
of the waters of the Atlantic, has
declared that the temperate climate
of the British isles and the northern
coast of France does not depend on
the gulf stream, and that its diver
sion would" not, therefore, leave this
section .of the world in the' grip of
an Arctic winter. M.. Danois claims to
have proyed that the gulf stream,
rising to the north of the Antilles,
does not pass the 'Sargasso sea, and
the notion must be discarded that it
traverses the Atlantic to bathe the
shores of England and Franee.-.
': He expresses the view that the
gulf stream is merely the bacTcwash
of the equatorial waters, which tran
slate themselves into permeations of
the more lightly salted Arctic and
continental waters. It is these perme
ations in the eastern Atlantic which
have been mistaken for branches of
the gulf stream. They are, however
purely local currents and vary ac
cording to the season.

ing Clerk of the House
RALEIGH, Nov. 22. The first at
tack by women on the forthcoming
legislature promises to be centered
in the fight of Miss .Rosa Mund, of
Concord, to beat ex-Judge Otis if
Shell, of Dunn, for chief engrossing
;lerk of the House of Representatives.
Mr. Shell has, been the engrossing
ilerk since most of the members
were babies and he's not a terribly
old man at that. Bi-ennially, he an
nounces his candidacy and bi-ennially
he beats the opposition? sometimes
so bad that the fight is forgotten be
fore the caucus is dismissed. ,
It's a different situation now, and
the fact that last year's assembly
contained a woman member is going
to make it considerably easier for
Miss Mund to wage her campaign.
According to members-elect, Who
have been rAeiving letters, . she
feels assured of winning and her op
ponent is less at ease than if he had
a half dozen "old timers" working
against him.
Both qualify as Democrats, but
Miss Mund's County, Cabarrus, went
Democratic this year for the first time
in a piar of decades, and it is one
of many with a well grounded pat
ronage plea. "
