...When the radiation of heat from the sun is high," continued Mr. Clayton, "in the temperate zone the winters are colder than normal, while the summers are characterized by high temperatures. This may seem anomalous, but is easily explained. During the winter, for instance, the sun is above the tropical belt and tends to increase the warmth in that zone. Under this higher temperature the atmosphere there expands and overflows into the temperate belts, and immediately currents from the north are set in motion to restore the equilibrium in this region of diminished pressure. Consequently, during a winter of high...
...irritating criticism of Dreiser and others--that Americans cannot think--is partly supported by facts.

Influences which even General Dawes is powerless to control are forcing America as well as Europe to gradual changes of external policy, to revisions of government, to paternalism rather than individualism. "Hell and Maria" has put his back against a steam roller...
