Precautionary Measure Taken Modified Quarantine Here To Prevent Infantile Paralysis.

The Health Department announced today that 13 children here, who had come in contact with a case of infantile paralysis at the Mountain Lake Park camp, near Mercersburg, were under a modified quarantine at their homes.

President Roosevelt, embarking the government on the New Deal's vast social security program, forsecs further social and economic adjustments to come. When he signed the Security bill Into law yesterday, amid formal ceremony, he said it was a "cornerstone in a structure which is being built but is by no means complete."

Federal-State pensions for needy, a Federal- insurance system, special fare for dependent children and mothers. Tt contains a huge tax program to raise the funds).

A secretary told newsmen that the President used "about 30 pens" to sign the bill, so that numerous requests for souvenirs could be satisfied.

Anne Arundel county has reported four eases, but only two of them turned out to be poliomyelitis, he said. SUN SPOTS MAY PREDICT FUTURE GREAT DROUGHTS WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 Devastating droughts such as that of 1934 may in the future be predicted years ahead as accurately as tomorrow's weather is now forecast. Dr. C.

G. Abbott, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute and outstanding authority on radiation of the sun, announced today new results of his studies of the effect of variations in the sun's rays on the earth's weather which hold great promise for long-range weather forecasting, shows that Analysis of his data he secretly predicted the 1934 drought with a high degree of accuracy. He has established a definite 23- year cycle of weather changes which is apparently dependent on a double sun-spot cycle in solar radiation. In this cycle temperature and at numerous points over the earth's surface of the earth approximately duplicate conditions at the same points 23 years before. Tall, scholarly Dr.

Abbott was quick to point out that the repeti- tion would not follow exactly from month to month each 23 years but that in general normal or abnormal at approximately that interval. Thus another major drought may be expected in 1957. His conclusioms were reached after a study of two sets of data. One was composed of daily records of solar heat reaching the earth obtained at lonely stations of the institution on Table Mountain, M-ontezuma, Chile, and Mount St. Katherine in Egypt.

These showed that there were 12 recurring periods in solar.radiation were almost identical at the three widely-separated points. Dr. Abbott was then able by mathematical analysis to work out the 23 year cycle. The second set of data consisted of weather records, some going back millions of years. The water levels of the great lakes reflecting precipitation In the drainage area during the past 100 years showed a regular 23-year cycle.

Fall, white haired former cabinet member, fought from his bed here today what he termed an order evicting him from his ranch home. "I don't intend to leave here. 1 am going to fight eviction and I am confident I can. retain my home," said Fall, Secretary of the Interior of the Harding administration.

Chairman Harrison of the finance committee also predicted a quick conference agreement between the Senate and House on the tax adjournment of Congregg next week.

(The Senate bill, much different Dm the measure passed by the House, provides for increased surtaxes on income over boosts in the taxes on estates and on excess profits of corporations; a wider range of graduated levies on corporation income than the House bill; increases in capital stock and. personal holding company and a new levy of intercorporate dividends). Word was passed that after this measure is out of the way adjournment plans would be speeded regardless of what administration bills are hanging fire. Some believe this would spur on the utilities and omnibus banking measures which still are deadlocked in committee conference.
