The popular beliet that wintets ¥n the United States are growing guillder is a fallacy, m' to Clarence J. Root, gov me-- ferologist in the Springfield weather bureau, who says no permanent change has ym place in tempera« ture or c¢limate for at least 140 years. . Mr. Root 'miso denies snows are becoming scarcer and assigns the Jight snowfalls of the last few years to the fact that the heaviest precip-- Station of recent winters has bap-- pened to come during comparatively warm periods. PROTECTION GREATER NOW Quotes United States Reports To illustrate his statements _ Mr. Root quoted government reports which show that. January in 1918 was the most severe winter in the elimatological history of lllinols, . "The low temp&Aiture in _that month, and the 'heavy snows," he said, "combined with strong winds were most unusual, As far back, at least,-- as 1878 there has been no wmonth of apy@name as cold as Jan-- uary, 1918) and the local" weather aeard at Peoria, which extends back 48 years, shows this month to have been the coldest month and the combined temperature of December The snowfall for that month was mearly double that of any previous month and the average temperature for the month was only 12.6. = New Haven Records Oldest The meteorological records at New MHaven, Conn., ac¢ording to Mr. Root, are the oldest in existence in this 'gountry, extending bu:s to 1789. These records, averag in -- ten gar periods by Mr. Root, show that that tinte the averages for the vartous ten--year perieods have var jed only three degrees,.> The.coldest ten ' years in the record occurr¢ed between -- 1810 and 1820, when the sverage was 415 degrees--gbove zero: C. J. Root Hits Fallacy of the Weather Beoomlns Warmer; Cites Much Data. Th warmest ten year period came between 1910 and 1920, when the average was 50.5 degrees above zero. But to show that this high --average in recent years does not indicate any permanent 'change Mr.© Root points out the fact that the average for 1800 and 1810, the ten year period, was 50.4, onetenth of one Aegree colder than the average be %ween 1910 and .1920. J ~~-- _ Coldest January in 1857 \ This report further shows the cold-- est January on record «came in 1857, wr. 71 yeats after the record was "The idea that winters are warm #r than formerly is possibly dus," Mr. Root said, "to the fact that people are better equipped for cold weather now than they were 20 years ago. Warmly dressed and mvflled with modern furnaces and water-- --systems people do not suffer the inconvenience and pain from cold they once suffered. the--140--year period came eight years amfter tho© warmest February and the coldest March on record came in 1885. ~On the other hand, no June in the past 134 years has been warmer than was June in 1779. "In addition to this our cities have bécome so well built up that there wre plenty of buildings to break the forte of the wind and ma'e weather seem milder." ~ SAYS WINTERS ARE STILL COLD HERE SAM ZICKERMAN AND WAUKEGAN MAN BUY Mr. Sam Zickerman's host of friends here will be interested to zrn that be and Mr. E.
